Yep, here we are. As I write this on the morning of Election Day 2024, the wind is howling outside, punctuated only by the usual gang of idiots who honk their car horns thinking that will make the traffic flow faster or even change red lights to green. I swear some people in this town (NYC) ritually honk their horns before they even start up the car. For a very long time, I have dreamed of organizing parades of Harpo Marx imitators that parade through the streets, weaving in and out of the slow moving traffic honking horns in the faces of the idiots. The dumbass drivers would never get it of course. They'd just start honking back and start cursing at my parade as New Yorkers do. Fuck them. Assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But, I digress, or do I. Perhaps what I just wrote above is a glorious metaphor for campaign seasons. You decide.
So, yeah, here we are. By the time you read this, we may know who got the most votes from the voters, who got the most votes from the racism-based electoral vote system, and who or what might even be moving into the White House. What we won't know is how much strife the country will be put through by our millions of psychos and sociopaths between now and January 20th, aka Inauguration Day. We may even see some new wrinkles from the election denier traitor camps. Right now, right this very second, some over-blubberfied white guy is likely plotting to burn down or shoot up a vote counting center. OK, I won't be a sexist; it could be some typical republican over-blubberfied white lady wearing a "Trump Can Grab My Pussy Anytime" T-shirt, and nothing else.
But what about the multi-billionaires? I say "multi" because I can deal with a billionaire that has less than ten billion so that's my arbitrary, unscientific cutoff point. Off the top of my head, I can think of three or four billionaires that I've met. One is quite sane. One is also sane but very eccentric, just as eccentric as he was when he was starting out with nothing. Another has a good heart even if he thinks he's God's gift to his area of expertise. The fourth one, however, has much more than ten billion, much more. We're talking Forbes list kinda guy. I've been to his house for dinner and let's just say that I hope he came by the art on his walls legally. He usually comes off nice and civil but he blurts out his foul nazi bigotries like he has some sort of "Bigotry Tourette" syndrome. Big supporter of Republicans. His chef is magnificent, though.
Money in politics has always been the bane of our existence and, since the Trump-Ryan Tax Scam Of 2017, it's only gotten worse and will continue to do so, especially since the multi-billionaire set has purchased, not just our politicians and media outlets but lavished even more on judges, and not just on the so-called Supreme Court, thank you Moscow Mitchie. What a fuckin' evil husk of worms you are. In more civilized times, you would have already been tossed into a deep pit of venomous vipers where you rightly belong. Anyway, all we can hope for and work to get from any political parties now, is even more limited incremental progress on the issues that would help us improve our lives, very incremental... microscopic, just about. Some morons long to dilute the efforts even further with "New! Improved!" parties that get their funding from the same or same kind of mentally devolving douchebags. Anyone with a functioning mind left knows where that will end up. Meet the new boss, same as the smiling to your face, insincere old boss. Oh, how I love humankind! The sooner that we can even begin to comprehend that 90%+ of us are still figuratively swinging from the trees, the better.
Yesterday wasn't just Election Day. In England, November 5th is known as Guy Fawkes Day. You can look it up and you will see that Guy Fawkes Day has dark origins, dark and angry origins. Nowadays, it's toned down, at least for now, but it's a day where effigies of the evil ones are burned in public squares. Even in Merry Olde England, Traitor Don Trump will likely be the number one burning effigie all this week, but, how about, Rupert Murdoch for us, along with JD Vance's sponsor Peter Thiel, or the increasingly unhealthy (in every sense of the word) Elon Musk, or the Mercers, the Mellons, the Adelsons or Maga/Nazi/Republican Party Chieftain Vladimir Putin, or... Damn, so many who've made such a giant reeking clusterphuck of everything in the world to choose from.
Guestcraphead! I doubt Noah needs to be reminded since he's written about it for decades but, go ahead and say it if you need to convince yourself that you're so much smarter than everyone else. It's sad that that is what makes you feel better every day. What an insecure narcissistic mess you are!
I'd only remind you that the billionaires are a product of the government that they have now bought lock, stock and barrel. And that the government that first made them and then sold out to them is a product of voters. dumber than shit voters.
This was proved again yesterday. In spades.
And it isn't just the nazi voters. It's also the voters who have continued to support the corrupt pussy democraps since the '60s in spite of them doing nothing at all about anything at all.
Well, that's probably all over with now. The billionaires that you all created will now be given even more. You all will have even more taken away (via taxes, rights, etc...).
If the…
