Godzilla vs. King Kong

If Trump gets elected we will vote in any democrat four years from now who wears socks.  If Hillary wins, we’ll elect any republican who wears pants.

Either way, we’re fucked.

And the fraud that is our two party system will endure.

This is a goddamn disaster.

I need to make this point again.  The problem with Trump, beyond being a miserable narcissistic blowhard is that he has no fucking idea what he’s doing.  The Problem with Hillary, despite being the most crooked democrat to ever run for president, is that she knows exactly what the fuck she’s doing.

Hillary is not interested in reinstating Glass Steagall or appointing justices to the supreme court that will overturn Citizens United .  Her pant suits slosh with cash.  She’s a serial liar.  She used her position as secretary of state to make quid pro quo arms deals in exchange for contributions to her money laundering charity. The cabal that made her stinking rich won’t have anything to do with Glass Steagall or Citizens united and neither will she.  She’ll pay requisite lip service to social issues. She’ll appear on television with screeching cadence and stab her hand at LGBQT concerns and racial inequality, but when it comes down to the genuine, underlying economic issues that are the impetus for it all, she’ll work relentlessly behind the scenes to serve herself and the people who got her here.

Then she’ll start a new war and escalate the existing ones to enrich the rest of her goddamn base.

I loathe her.

She scares the crap out of me.

Who the hell knows what Trump will do? He’ll be such a stumbling mumbling fuck that they’ll remove all the valuable art and hide the china. He’ll show up on television all indefatigable and the mouth breathers will swoon.  He’s a serial liar.  Get used to that idea of him being all up in our shit. He’ll be on TV every goddamn day vomiting bigotry and madness to distract us.

But he’ll be marginalized.  Thank gawd he doesn’t drink.  They won’t let him have the football or the biscuit. The secret overlords will tirelessly run interference.  I doubt he’ll start any more wars and probably won’t be interested in perpetuating the half dozen we’re already in.  It may be his biggest frustration and what finally exhausts him because that’s really what they want him to do.

He’s an idiot.

He’s not prepared to do a goddamn thing for you or me.

Neither of them is troubled at all by the responsibility of governing.  Both are consumed by the singular goal of winning at any cost and continuing a relentless pursuit of aggrandizement.

Both can be counted on to advance America’s well established legacy of prisons for profit at the expense of the proletariat.  I expect neither to do a goddamn thing about the chronic concentration of wealth in America.  Both are long established plutocrats.

He’s a sexist misogynist prick and she foments a gender bias far more sagacious than she routinely accuses everyone who opposes her of.

Zero sum.

Same as it ever was.

Both of their cults worship and celebrate their reprehensible lack of values.

The system is rigged but consider this, it is absolutely rigged for Clinton but totally rigged against Trump and we still ended up with both of them.

We deserve these two posers.

We did this to ourselves.

The two most hated candidates ever.

Us in the mirror.

We broke it and now we buy it.

We had our chance.

His name was Bernie Sanders.

Drinks for my friends.

* This song is from a band called Ape Hangers.  My third record.  Made entirely in studio C at A&M records by me and Alex Reed.  We had songs on two major motion picture soundtracks and early radio response was really positive.  Both movies tested poorly,  the label wimped out and a solid record died from asphyxiation, along with my career.  It was the first record I made after Everclear’s smash debut on Capitol and you’re only as good as your last record.  It was a cruel business.  Given the post punk and grunge musical climate in ’96, had they devoted resources already allocated to promoting this song as a single, I’d be living in hills or at least south of the boulevard in the valley.

    I wish I could say I enjoyed reading Godzilla vs King Kong as much as I did listening to your music.
    Your writing is excellent, as always. Spot on. Truth is I am scared for the future, in a way I never have been before. Not even when I was leaving an abusive husband and I knew that he had me in the cross hairs of his high powered rifle.

    Did you know that Trump has been taking a “diet” drug for years? One that is abused by folks looking for a speed high. Explains much about his demeanor. For the record, I was prescribed Cylert, a stimulant, for narcolepsy. Took it for a few years, until it was pulled from the market. I was under the care of the prescribing sleep specialist. I took drug holidays, at first. Though I never increased the prescribed amount, it did nasty things to my personality.
    So, with Trump, we will have a president on the precipice of irrationality. With drugs in his system or not…

    That is the least frightening of the two probable presidential candidates.

    Clinton is the real deal. Cold blooded. Privileged. Entitled. Money grubbing bitch.

    I have been trying to pay attention. I really have. But,I also know that the citizens of the US are not told the same news as other countries. So, as I have been backtracking on events during the time Hillary Clinton served as Secretary of State, I see the blood of innocents, in Libya, Honduras, Haiti, and elsewhere all over Hillary Clinton. She is knee deep in that blood. All the weapons deals, not all of the countries have anything approaching decent human rights. But, then again, look at the US.

    I am thinking that I don’t like the US too much these days…but, maybe that is just me.

      Well, said. With respect to the concealment of maleficence, often, the machination of the cover-up exceeds that of the crime. With Hillary, the machination of her crimes exceed the cover-up. Questionable and irregular email management, pale in comparison to that which you have said in reference. But we will only hear about the technicalities of the former and the gravity of the latter will be left for historians to debate.

  • Lorenzo Canizares:

    On point analysis of both Hillary and Trump. let’s hope we are not subjected to that choice.

  • Jeffrey Zaiser:

    You have so thoroughly described that place we find ourselves, between that proverbial rock and a hard place. I am found of the term HillBillary, because it reminds us that in addition to a Clinton Dynasty, Bill will see his third and probably fourth term as president. Did not Hillary say he would be responsible for fixing the economy? That which he undermined and deregulated in the first place. HillBillary are savvy and well connected politicians who know their way around government. And when the obstructionist party does what it must do, they will be much less rattled and have more work around options than Trump will ever. He will blow a fuse, each and every time, he tries to proceed with just about anything. Trump will not enjoy wielding the powerless power, the post modern presidency has been reduced to. That said, he will never be president. The ascendent corporatocracy requires a stable and predictable government to be beholden and to maintain domestic social order. Trump is too much of a wild card, in this regard. HillBillary bear the credentials long in the making and thus have been preordained. And when their supporters go berserk over the Sanders camp holding out, they just demonstrate their ignorance in the face of the power that be.

  • Don Jordan:

    Fear not! This Presidential election is headed for Congress for a decision. If Trump or $hillary win, they will immediately face a 1st year Impeachment… So, choose your Vice President picks most carefully, voters.

  • reiya:

    ON THE SUBJECT OF TRUMP, “A WORSE VERSION OF DUMBWA BUSH”. OUT OF ONE SIDE OF TRUMPS BIG DISTORTED MOUTH COMES …SEND THOSE WHOM ARE UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN, AND HIS DESIRE TO BUILD A WALL BETWEEN THE U.S. AND MEXICO. THE OTHER SIDE OF HIS MOUTH SPEAKS OF A MILITARY BUILD UP, INCREASING THE SPENDING AND SENDING U.S. TROOPS TO CONFRONT ISIL? IS HE PLANNING ON STEERING HIS OWN CHILDREN INTO MILITARY SERVICE? I CAN’T HELP WONDERING; IS HE SENDING UNDOCUMENTED AMERICAN’S A MESSAGE, LIKE YOU MAY COME IN USEFUL TO FATTEN THE RANK’S OF OUR MILITARY, YOU CAN PERHAPS…GO FIGHT AND DIE FOR THE U.S., OR ELSE, BACK TO MEXICO YOU WILL GO?

    REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP UNDER DICK CHENEY, BUSH AND THEIR ILL ADVISED WAR AGAINST IRAQ, IS WHAT CREATED ISIL. NOW OF COURSE THE REPUBLICANS WANT AN OUTSIDER LIKE TRUMP TO RALLY THEIR CAUSE FURTHER. THIS IS ALL A GAME, OR MORE LIKE A MAD EXPERIMENT.

    OBVIOUSLY WE NEED FRESH LEADERSHIP, TO GET FRESH RESULTS. BERNIE SANDERS MUST STAY IN THE MIX HERE.

    OF COURSE, GOVERNOR USELESS GERIATRIC BROWN HAS ENDORSED HILLARY. CREEPY AND USELESS BROWN LEADS CALIFORNIA…WHERE THE RICH KEEP GETTING RICHER & HOARDS OF PEOPLE WITHOUT A HOME, FORCED TO LIVE IN THE STREET IS GROWING DAY BY DAY!!

  • Brown Jones:

    Great writing but we did not fail Bernie: the election was rigged. Voters were disenfranchised, burged, and, in the heavily pro-Bernie Sanders’ Calfornia precincts, voting machines did not even work!
    Moreover, evereywhere outside the South, exit polls showed clealy that Bernie won but the results were electronically flipped.
    So everything you said was right except the part where you blamed us!

  • Faa Que:

    I have no fuckin idea whom you are but I can see your an uneducated wannabe activist but youv’e got your head up your Ass because your basically calling this man incompetant. If youv’e been paying attention which you haven’ mainly because of the head u your Ass thing you would realize
    That Trumps not in with the republicans in fact they hate as much as the democrats do.
    Trump doesn’t need anybodys money and they both hate that.And as far as being competant the man has an IQ of 156 thats above the minimum genius level.You just don’t like his anti wetback and anti muslim agenda. Your a typical Libtard leftist fuckstick nobody.
    Trumps Accomplishments:
    His biggest accomplishment, Trump Tower, had luxurious hotels as well as shops and stores inside of it. He’s also brought up casinos as well as resorts. His name is in the name of most of the casinos and hotels he’s turned into metaphorical gold mines. Donald Trump also owned the Trump Taj Mahal hotel that opened in 1990; that was the largest hotel in the world.
    The Apprentice, aired in 2004, was also a giant success by Donald Trump; it was a reality show that had a great amount of viewers. Donald Trump even has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He created the Trump University in 2005. It teaches mainly about real estate as well as being a successful entrepreneur. In addition to the all of the other things, he’s also written few business books that teach how to be a successful business man. Because he has had many bankruptcies but stayed above water, people trust his ideas and always find him to be one of the best businessmen out there.
    Your accomplishments: We don’t think there is any because your a Libtard Leftist fuckstick nobody. And if you don’t believe me about trump listen to Farrakhan: https://www.facebook.com/theviewersview/videos/585901684892282/
