And what must flow is truck loads of American dollars to both major political parties. This is what being a politician is all about. I do not see anyone refusing donations from Wall Street and Corporate America. If I remember correctly, war is good for business.
Hey, we need to sneak into NYC as illegal immigrants! I understand that pays very well indeed.
Anyway - and I do NOT have to give the GOP equal time, to any whinging trolls out there - every time I think the Dems could not disgust me more, they disgust me more. EVERY issue that affects actual American citizens has been made into a divisive campaign fart. To be used and reused ad infinitum. now clear to me that they don't give a rat's ass about humanity in general.
Also, Trump, Biden, and RFK Jr are all big Israel supporters. Fuck them. Same to anyone who tries to tell me I must pick a lesser evil. Nope, the evil has gotten too vile. And to anyone who says oh, that is not happening in the US? That's only because, as yet, it wouldn't pay anything. The folks running this country don't even pretend to be interested in we citizens any more. Or humans in general, come to think about it.
They are elves in the german poltergeist tradition. Gremlins in the 787 Airbus. Invisible on the chamber floor. Ghosts in their districts. Millionares after our Private Equity apocalypse...
Another disturbing point is that under the current political economic system of competitive capitalism, war and its destructive properties are viewed as normative and acceptable. America supplies weapons to Ukraine and Israel knowing they will be used.
I remember the Vietnam War and the destruction it wreaked, including the bombing of Cambodia. Homes, buildings, universities, hospitals, humans, non-humans animals, trees, plants, insects and soil are all destroyed by war.
It looks to me like political parties of any stripe have nothing much to do with what happens here. Sure, they campaign on stuff, but none of that really matters unless and until money and the MIC decide.
The biggest political party that is consistently antiwar is the Libertarian one, and when was the last time they carried a state? The kleptocracy offers up our choices, both of which work for them.
They hate Trump because he is one of them, but says the quiet part out loud and only does what they want 90% of the time.
The permanent state is the public sector side of the kleptocracy. The employees best at grifting just rotate through the private sector, or corporate, side of the same ruling class. It's an entangled, writhing mess.
the 'Homo sapiens sapiens' subspecies should be nuked, tho' the damage to our planet's ecosystem would suggest it is already too late-in-coming. in the aftermath of the nixon/kissinger relentless bombing campaign of cambodia, where we worked from 1997~1999, we viewed up close and uncomfortable ,nearly 25 years later, how devastatingly vile/evil our benighted species' soi-disant leaders are. a slime mold has a higher IQ than we have, given the elite we ostensibly vote into office to act on our behalf as cynosures of a more enlightened future. what poppycock, piffle, balderdash, and donkey-dung!
Logan's Run. The death at 30 Carnivale it was called no Carousel. Painted ponies with the gerontocracy on the side asif they have close friends. Your work on A'biden flexing Klingon muscles was worth your patience with scifi tropes.
The absurdity of "government" is proportional to the distance between the desires of our true policy makers and us. The more the fire rages, the louder the jester must be. This is why it takes to convince us we can vote our way out of this and that it's not the unelected in charge. Because in that direction lies revolt.
You know women have a day and more of feeling sick deciding how they feel about that issue. And most of them decide their sisters need to be able to prioritize the life they can imagine over being heroic. But we cannot give them a national referendum? I believe Marcy Kaptur to be a crypto catholic in this matter. Ran into her at the store, told her t her brightest moment was in 2008. Meaning retire! Too too subtle.
Whenever and wherever the voters are given the power to decide, abortion is legalized in the United States. In fact, I can't think of how we would be WORSE off with direct democracy than with the corrupt kleptocratic republic we have now.
Biden just said we shouldn't have started our forever wars. It almost as if he might have noticed the millions of dead, hundreds of thousands dead in Ukraine (700,000 by a recent count) and the billions spent bombing, well, everywhere.
A recent estimate says it'll cost $1 TRILLION to rebuild Ukraine, which is close to what the US and Europe spent in weapons to destroy Ukraine.
But back to Genocide Joe:
Biden confused Ukraine with another part of the world. And why? Because it's a mess in my head.
- I held a meeting with their military cabinet (Israel). And he told them: don’t repeat our mistakes! America made a mistake. What have we done? We hunted bin Laden until we eliminated him. But at the same time, we shouldn’t have gone to Ukraine! That is... We shouldn't have gone into this... in Iraq and Afghanistan. There was no need for this. No. This only created more new problems.
Well, between your rendition of the SOTU address and my step-son's, I justify me only having to tolerate 1 minute of watching Genocide Joe. Thank DOG you guys did most of that for me!
So... the dystopian novel that best describes for me a room full of people willing to go along with a president living in an out-of-touch district has to be THE HUNGER GAMES... This is where President Joe gets to continually sniff the living shit from those with white dresses or white roses whenever the need to go verbal is required.
President Joe hates thinkers and all the people who understand more about Vlad Putin these days. All President Joe wants is rich, white fascist denizens to control the message. We all know how the HG movie ends, but what we have to go through with THIS administration's count down is awful ..... Jeebus, it's killing more and more every day, waiting for the state of our dystopia to really fucking end.
The Democrats are doing, have done, or are planning to do everything that they accuse their political opponents of doing. They're amazingly consistent about that. Only cultists can't see it.
It's almost as if they're conducting a psyop to find out how many voters they can fool with this crap, and if they lose they really don't care. Because it really doesn't matter anyway.
I've said it before - losing is a preferred alternative for the Democrats! They don't have to even try to do anything for people, and all they have to do is fundraise on "But Trump" - or blame everyone but themselves.
Ah, yes. They do so love to blame everyone else for what THEY did, or chose not to do. It's their only defense, and you have to have a cultish mentality to believe it.
The movie that is a documentary of our time, leadership and foreign and domestic policy is "Idiocracy". The only thing is the characters in the movie have about 100 more IQ points than our debauched political class and completely possessed billionaire rat pack. Check it out for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lai9QhBibk
Amen. I saw that in the theater, believe it or not. Our current crop of temporary cabinet officials and advisors have merged Idiocracy with Dr. Strangelove. Not to mention the darker corners of the Twilight Zone.
Speaking of wasting (actually laundering) money - Alex C. opened today's episode telling us that Ukraine has a real game-changer - they are destroying Russia's Iskandar missiles. My first thought was crap, this slaughter will never end. But then he said that Ukraine, with most probably advice from the US/NATO, is moving its Patriot launchers closer to the front lines, and cleverly luring the Iskandar missiles to their destruction. Of course, an Iskandar costs about a million, and a Patriot system costs about $1.1 billion, but hey, Russia will run out of Iskandar missiles any day now. That new $61 billion is likely already earmarked for the MIC. Oh, and Ukraine will get 6 f-16s, not 45 or whatever. Which, IMO, means 35 or so Ukrainian flight crews may get to live longer.
Yeah, that low number of trained pilots means either they were never going to get that many jets - or that non-Ukrainian folks were going to fly them. Maybe that's why they were getting only six.

Is there a political party against war?

Logan's Run! That's it! All the ones in red waiting to be "renewed," which just meant being levitated up in the dome and getting zapped by a laser.
Frickin' Dems. Can't even get a bad idea from a good sci-fi movie.

Okay, now, that is terrifying ... blending Dr. Strangelove with Idiocracy.
The way these maniacs are going they look like they're trying to make Fail Safe an optimistic scenario.
Having a wrestling heel as president seemed so shockingly progressive an idea back then.

You manage to capture my utter contempt for the US government perfectly. Thank you.
As usual, a home run with the bases loaded.

Actually, only 12 Ukrainians have been trained to fly them. I mentioned it in a post today.
Yeah, that low number of trained pilots means either they were never going to get that many jets - or that non-Ukrainian folks were going to fly them. Maybe that's why they were getting only six.
