Former officials.

How many current officials have decided to put country before party? I can almost hear those miserable bastards from here:

The political party that I work at is putting the country at risk, but hey:
1) I don’t know, I just work here,
2) I’m NOT going to risk my “I don’t know, I just work here” job.

For a long time it was Huevos Rancheros, but that got nudged into the #2 spot when I discovered Eggs Benedict.

“…and I might be exaggerating a little bit when I tell my story… or maybe a lot, I can’t keep track of all my lies. Anyway… NO EMPATHY, that’s the point!”

Knee-jerk ignorant republican impulse after knee-jerk ignorant republican impulse, enabled and lubricated by the gullible and lazy non-voting bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL idiots, you end up in a completely preventable hellhole.

The libs aren’t triggered because the libs aren’t batshit crazy idiotic. The libs see a light-hearted joking gesture and don’t make a mountain out of a molehill with it; the libs do not drown in a glass of water; the libs can walk and chew gum at the same time.

I’m afraid they might be a whole bunch of oldies but goodies:

2001: A Space Odyssey.
The Empire Strikes Back.
Miller’s Crossing (the third movie written and directed by the Coen brothers, from 1989).
A Bridge Too Far (from 1977, a sprawling, star-studded epic about the Allies and their costly, ill-advised and ultimately unsuccessful Operation Market-Garden in WWII).
A Bout De Soufflé. (Godard’s seminal French New Wave cannon blast).
From Russia With Love.
The Spy Who Loved Me.

The astroturfing is obscene on several levels of ignorance and artificiality, fake as the sincerity on a Nestlé ad, only more ignorant. “We don’t and won’t listen to a single Latino among us”.

And still, I hear of Latinos gravitating towards this shit. It’s like they’ve normalized living under bigoted oppression in places like Texas or Arizona, and/or fall for the “family values” catholic bias.

Or they come at it from some other batshit insane angle, referring to the orange plague of 2016-20 - “Funcionó! It worked!” and refusing to elaborate further, as if the case was obvious in some way that’s utterly incomprehensible to me.

bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe! wHy BoThEr VoTiNg LoL!

A mindless mind will find a way to take a neutral or positive trait and find a way to spin it into a negative narrative, or in the case of the current journalism industrial complex and its’ mindless little drones who fancy themselves “the fourth estate” - something alarming, shrill and hysterical, something to amplify high blood pressure.

Diamonds, or any sort of gemstone, as trying to sell those things would probably be as risky as stealing them in the first place.

California government gets it right way more often than wrong, since it went solidly Democrat. Not perfect, nothing can be, but leaning towards the correct direction. Here it is again.

…we livin’ in.

scandal

The stupidity of the 24-hour infotainment industry knows no bottom when it’s hijacked by malevolent right-wing propagandists like murdoch and limbaugh ten years ago, journalistic integrity and professionalism non-existent.

Fabricating fake outrage like mustard on a Five Guys burger, or saluting with a coffee in one hand while walking on the tarmac towards Air Force One, injecting brazen knee-jerk “rah rah my team or nothing” right-wing propaganda bullshit into public discourse, with the explicit intent to distort reality, with no shame nor dignity.

…and there go the other competing “news” franchises mindlessly parroting and amplifying the idiocy.

scandal

“People want to know!”
“Some people say!”
“People are talking about, talking about, talking about!”

Whoever these people are, they only talk about this idiocy because they are force-fed this excrement.
