So, here’s an idea. Quit (oh please!) reacting to anything Trump does as if he’s like anything other than a buffoon. Simple. He’s not Hitler, he’s not dangerous, he’s been indicted on 91 felony counts and is going to prison for the rest of his life. Any other reaction inflates the self importance of himself and his followers. Quit giving it oxygen. Please.

I’m thinking it’s high time Congress came up with something like, oh, I don’t know, like a war powers act? You know, something that puts some teeth into their already broad constitutional powers to approve military action?...naaaahhhh...

Well giddy up Joe Biden! I assume you’ll be dispatching Seal Team 6 to take care of Osama bin Trump post haste!

Those of us with a deep seated, personal faith in Bigfoot can assure you that Bigfoot would not approve of Donald Trump‘s behavior. I’m aware of nothing in the Bigfoot literature that would condone Trump’s buffoonery. End of story.

Breaking News!

This morning at dawn, country A with a military consisting of .00041% of its population attacked country B with a military consisting of .00043% of its population thus setting off a cycle of destruction and chaos for 99.99916% of their combined populations who would prefer to simply get on with their day to day lives.

So it goes.

Personally, I think this is the best Trump rally I’ve seen yet.

I’ve been looking for a side hustle these days and I sent my (decidedly thin) resume to FOX, MSNBC and CNN asking for $500 a day to endlessly ponder, predict, pontificate, and perseverate on either of “two sides” of “the debate”. Am I asking for too much money on this one?

If your local weather reporter forecast an evacuation warning for a hurricane that was expected, say, in November, would you pack up your belongings and head for the hills? Would such a prediction even be newsworthy since weather forecasts are only reliable for 5 to 7 days out? Of course you wouldn’t evacuate and of course such a forecast would be so laughable it would never be reported. So why do people go apeshit over political polls and, more importantly, how is that they are newsworthy?

I really don’t give a flip about Americas opinions on elections or the justice system. Opinions are meaningless. I’m only interested in post-election morning and trial verdict day. The rest is a mass media circle jerk.

South African apartheid was ended due to boycott and disinvestment. I’ve become convinced that Palestinian apartheid can only be ended by the same.

Here’s one. If you use the word “they” in a post about how “they” are going to screw “you”, “us”, “me”, please provide a better idea of “who” “they” actually are. Maybe “they” are a known quantity for those “in the know”, but I like to have a more precise understanding of your “reality” to better understand who “they” are.

Maybe it’s always been like this and I was never aware, but media in general and social media in particular is mostly speculative and paranoid. I wonder what would happen if I used AI to review the universe of social media posts to determine the ratio of “it’s surely the demise of everything we hold dear and true” posts to posts about actual reality. I’m spitballing about 330:1.

”If Trump gets elected, it will be the end of American democracy as we know it”.

When someone proclaims this in an interview, it’s spoken as if it’s an obvious truth. Why do I feel like it’s a little bit vague?🤔

So Trump gets elected next year and everyone’s just gonna say “oh well, I guess that’s just the end of democracy as we know it.” 🤷🏻‍♂️ Really? Like everyone’s just going to rollover and complain about it on social media? If that’s what America does then it deserves itself.

My one and only prediction for 2024 is that there will be an insufferable level of nauseatingly hyperbolic digital drama spewed between now and November. Oy! Let me know when the election’s over. 😒

Memory, meet hole.

Substitute“television” and “tube” with “social media” and “internet”.
