Here’s What Happens Next

This is how it will play. The mainstream media will leverage the monster they are responsible for to promote the alleged sanity and safety of Hillary Clinton. The plan all along has been too convince us that she is not only the lesser of two evils, but our savior and protector from the evil misogynist bigot they gleefully created.
He was never actually going to be president. Goofecock republicans had nothing but cadavers and they needed a horse race for ratings and revenue. So the powers that be completed the manufacture of this reality star Frankenfucker into a viable candidate.
It’s all about obfuscation.
Let’s not forget who’s responsible for the other half of this date with insanity. Rip off the mask and let’s see. There’s you and there’s me and a two party system that is as corrupt as the day is long. We’ve all been willing and we’ve all participated. Cheer leading and sloganeering. Red vs. blue. Democrats vs. republicans. Neoliberals vs. neoconservatives.
Progressives versus assholes.
There hasn’t been a red pubic hair’s difference between us in decades.
Maybe there is a caveat. Maybe they knew they could exploit the majority into thinking this is some goddamn sports rivalry. Maybe they swabbed our cheeks in the middle of the night in order to devise a bacterial culture to infect us all with some demented populism. All I know is I watched too many of us stagger forth to drink from the trough with a misguided thirst for patriotic superiority. We are at least somewhat responsible for our own stupidity.
Politics has long been a swim at your own risk, no lifeguard on duty proposition. Yet it has somehow become a personal Superbowl in the minds of many. We can all run onto the field and play now, even if the helmets we wear were prescribed by a doctor for adventures at the museum or the mall.
More idiots think they have a voice while more reasonable people realize they don’t than ever before.
This whole campaign was over before it started. Trump as the potential foil but only after a contentious primary. Hillary emerges on a unicorn and saves us from the short fingered vulgarian just in time to make sure fracking is safe and more troops are needed in the Middle East.
There’s no way we can afford tuition free college and medical care paid for by our taxes like every other civilized country on the goddamn planet because there is evil in the world that threatens our existence and we simply must have the most gigantic defense budget in the history of humankind. Nevermind that we already do. Besides, poor people don’t deserve anything because they are lazy and slovenly and morally bankrupt.
Hillary’s bankster buddies will be okay because they are weaponized on a global scale and they will take America hostage the next time they get their tit in a ringer just like the last time. She is more of a republican than he is and he is more of a democrat than she is.
They are both lying to you. At a certain point, you have to take responsibility for being a fool. It’s easier to fool a man than it is to convince him he’s been fooled.
We had one last shot at this and we fucking blew it.
Once again into the breech.
Meet the new boss.
Same as the old boss.
Go Bernie go.
Drinks for my friends.
* This one song erases all my losses. Agnes Gooch. I made this one with my cock out. I have no idea how it sounds on your device but this was produced recorded and mixed in Studio goddamn C at A&M records in Hollywood California back in the fucking day by yours truly. It’s the biggest most pissed off and elegant song I ever had a hand in. The bass player was a friend of mine. He called himself Johnny Lonely. Johnny showed up in my control room one day with Scott Thomas from Anna Purna and Kelly Scott from Dumpster and licked my arm while I was threading the multi and told me about his new band “The Gooch”. I somehow happened into the cream of the crop from this one strain of Hollywood underground. Exactly the band I wanted. It’s a goddamn demo. They made a record. It sucked. The A&R guy that signed them wore lime green shorts and espadrilles. Even after they made their record, they kept coming back to me to record them. We probably did thirty songs together at least. They were the fucking shit. I was their slut. I recorded them anywhere, anytime.

Thank you. I’ve thought that Trump was a play all along. But Trump didn’t expect to do do well. When he did, ego took over. Now here we are. HC on the other hand had not counted on Bernie. He came out of the blue. Only us die-hard political junkies even knew who he was prior a year ago. He has made incredible strides and very well can make the White House. That is if we get out and vote for him. He can’t do it alone, and he can’t lose if we get out our vote.
I was in the midst of interpreting my own existential political crisis when Michael beat me to the punch with his. Such a contextual transgression, unleashed upon the comatose body politic, was never so well deserved. In 1882, Nietzsche wrote “god is dead”. In 1962 Time Magazine illustrated its’ cover “Is God Dead?”. In 2016, will announcement proclaim “Democracy is Dead”? A posthumous proclamation, for sure, for the deceased has been dead for decades, kept alive in a vegetative state, replaced by pay to play, technocratic, media driven, mass consumptive corporatism. We prop up the old gal in a special wheelchair during the various election events that we inexplicably go through the motions of honoring; parading her through the streets while media marching bands and party flags and banners infuse a pseudo context, like embalming fluid, into her veins. Election Day was never afforded the patriotic dignity of being recognized as an official national holiday, above all others. Perhaps now, when the time has come to talk about pulling the plug and officially declaring “Democracy Dead”; on that day, that Tuesday following the first Monday in November, we will gaze upon the calendar and reflect …will any of the places I need to go to today be closed? RIP (jz)
Your passion for Bernie as obvious as your disdain for Hillary, but to say there is not a red pubic hair of difference between the two parties is an insult to anyone who cares about reproductive rights, gun control, minimum wage and many other issues where there is a distinct difference. Granted, their economic policies may be similar since they are beholden to the same donors, but on social rights there is very little overlap in that Venn diagram. Sanders will not get the nomination and as disappointing as that may be, he has shifted the entire party to the left and made a difference. So take a deep breath, relax and go have a few of those drinks with friends.
Lip service is all that you will get from HRC. She will say anything to get in the WH but once there, you can forget her progressive statements and promises. She will turn into the K-Street queen. How gullible….
Dysfunction Junction… Sanders has effectively moved Clinton to the left. That is the limit of his effect on this election… Sanders wife is completely correct in pointing out that Bernie should have been working a year earlier to earn the nomination…
Thank you again, Michael. I’ve been having serious feelings of depression due to my realization of just how many of my so called liberal friends are not really liberal at all — that they are net-liberals just like Hillary and the major power players in politics right now. I speak of the Establishment; of the loss of any pretense that we believe in one man/one vote; that we not only do not plan to fulfill any of the goals FDR enacted to help our nation in a significant emergency, but we also no longer even think it’s a good goal. I keep thinking and writing and thinking and talking — often questioning my own dedication to the concepts in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution that I taught to thousands of students over the years — wondering if I got it all wrong — if I were the one who is delusional.
I am so angry I could spit nails at specific individuals who I see as major obstructions to any hope of a better future. The candidate, Hillary, who is being pushed down our throats has actually told us not to expect much — she’s as vague as Trump’s claims that there will be so much good we won’t believe it! She’s always telling us what we “can’t have” under her pragmatic incrementalism — to the point that I think there is an unspoken “because I won’t let you have it” in her head.
I have recently been called a “friggin tea-bagger” by someone who I’ve never, ever communicated with. I just had to laugh at that one, it was so feeble. People whose intelligence I respected have proven unable to critically analyze what is going on — they tell me I should be a vagina voter, that Hillary has worked her entire life to help people, and that Bernie could NEVER accomplish anything. Oh, and any time I point out a sourced fact about something Hillary has done/said, I’m told “that’s beneath you, Cherie”. WTF? All I want is for the promises of our founding documents to be fully brought into existence. I want our younger generations not to have to worry about whether or not they’ll even live long enough to retire. I want one man/one vote in every state. I want schools to be public and fully funded. I want health care to be a human right. And I’m the delusional one . . .
I DON’T KNOW, THEY KIND OF REMIND ME OF “THIN LIZZY”? YEAH I’M GLAD YOU CALLED OUT RACHEL MADDOX ON YOUR NEXT PIECE, YOU THE MAN FO SURE MICHAEL! BUT A LOT OF WOMAN SHOULD OPEN THEIR MINDS, IT IS SEXIST TO STAND BY ANY PERSON DUE TO THE FACT EXCLUSIVELY THAT THEY ARE MALE OR FEMALE. I SEE SO MANY INFLUENTIAL WOMAN AND WOMAN IN THE MEDIA PLAYING THAT GAME. I MEAN A LITTLE OF THAT ATTITUDE IS O.K,.
BUT HILLARY DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE PRESIDENT, NOR DOES TRUMP AND THAT IS WHAT THE MEDIA SHOULD REALLY BE DISCUSSING, INSTEAD OF ALL THE FREE SOUND BITES THEY GIVE THESE TWO IDIOT’S. TIME TO TURN THE TELEVISION OFF, THEY PANDER TO THE NO BRAINIER, AND FEED OUR IGNORANCE.
I APOLOGIZE FOR USING THE WORD BRAIN, IN SUCH A DEMEANING MANNER. I REALLY BELIEVE SOMEBODY SHOULD DO A WHOLE DISSERTATION OF THE PHRASE NO BRAINIER. AND HOW THIS RELATES TO MODERN MAN.
