Just some things on my mind (and I am done)
1) Throughout History, Widespread Poverty is the NORM: we have been living in an age of enlightened living since the peak of the Industrial Revolution and its hit a rough spot with the advent of the digital Revolution. These things pass, and usually there is an increase in the living standard average, overall, when they do.
2) the Current rough spot is ‘the changing of the gaurd’ sort of thing. The old rules are faulty in the new age, but there are enough people still clinging to them that the transitition is turbulant. (looking at the Geriatrics in DC for example, to include Trumped who really wants the world to revert to the 1980’s again)
3) People are seeing the lies now. the rubber bands hiding the core of this rubber band ball are snapping. Each one that snaps, reveals that things are not as they seem, and actually MUCH simpler than we have been taught/led to believe.
4) there is ZERO need of 400,000+(guestimate,,) pages of regulation in a country with an estimated population of 350M.
5) IF!!! anyone thinks that Biden is actually the one running things, you are an idiot of the fifth magnitude!!!! The last 7 years; four of Trumped, and the last 3 with Xi-den, have shown to MANY MANY PEOPLE, that the actual power is behind the curtains, and Trumps statements of “DEEP STATE” are more fact that fantasy.
6) ANYONE, that votes straight party ticket, no matter which party, and admits to it with pride, has no currency in any discussion I wish to have. They have proven they are NOT critical thinkers, and are in fact LAZY!!! They don’t want to think about things, no matter how much they claim otherwise. They don’t look at the bigger picture of “Who has done what, over how many years” and never will. That mindset is 90+% of why this country has gone off the rails without brakes.
7) IN TWENTY YEARS, none of this is going to matter one iota!!! Think about that. Look back Twenty years and see what was giving you the willies then, and see if they still do? Betcha they don’t! Only one thing is constant: CHANGE, and change is never permanent!
Fuck it!!!
There is no fixing this Government without RADICAL SURGERY: the beast is self propogating now and the only way to kill it is to starve it or have outside intervention. Neither is a good prospect to those of us that have to live under it.
Is Trumped the answer? IMO, NO, but he COULD BE the introduction to the surgeries needed to excise the disease that is killing this country. {{I have my doubts about the reality of that, and I have stated in round-a-bout fashion, that THINK he is actually the cobalt rod being stuck in, to cool the reactor that is getting mighty hot these days. If this is actually the case, then we are TRULY BEING PLAYED BY POWERS NOT ELECTED AND NOT ACCOUNTABLE AND WE ARE TRULY SLAVES TO THE STATE!!!! }} Re-read item 2 above,,, Trump is a symbol of that Changing of the Guard, and the other heads of state that are still in that old Gaurd are scared of what he represents. Look to the other countries that are seeing “Populism” on the rise and how those states and heads of state are responding.
I love my country, I DESPISE its government (as it currently exists).
This post is going up, leaving comments open, but anyone trying to argue against my points above are going to be deleted with prejudice: This post is NOT a discussion open to debate. If I offended you, DON’T CARE: your alliegance to a system that is raping and murdering with abandon offends me, and I deal with it; you can deal with it too.
And with that all out of the way, I am NOW, going to take that break from blogging for a spell. Happy 248th Fourth of July.





All 7 of your points are right on. #6 especially! I admit to voting straight party the 1st 2 times, before I started to realize a few things. Didn’t know what it was that was bugging me, but it was. Next time, I was asking a lot of questions, and it was getting some folk a bit upset. Always did ask a lot of questions.
Purty much correct aboot the 2 choices, too. Cain’t fix this kinda ‘fucked up’ with voating!
I don’t think Trump is the be all end all, either. I do think he *might* be the spark to get things going in the right direction – then again, I see the cobalt aspect, too. ((They)) definitely want us to cool down. I’m in the same boat as you, about loving my country.
That’s why my flag doesn’t have 50 stars – it’s got 13. Neither is it a Betsy Ross flag. It’s actually a “Bennington” flag. Even has simulated tea stains; and a semi circle of stars, with a big ass white “76” in the middle. That’s where I’m at!
And a big ass Happy (248th) Independence Day to all y’all!! May it not be our last gasp!!!
Y’all take care & stay livin,
Mike in FLA.

My variance to your list of statements. Actually none.
except that twenty years ago , I was screaming Bush did it ( 911 ) or actually his group of pals. Been voting best man every since I voted first time for Nixon. Was never a straight ticket man…even when working for that three letter agency !
Only thing I might posit , is that we will end up in the bent over position . No matter who is selected this year. Just a matter of velocity. Very much think your thought of tRump being a rod of cobalt is correct.
