Yeah..."while Trump knocks over the scenery trying to tweet his way back into relevance."
That is a great phrase and all too true. Elon Musk basically accused Trump of being a pedophile.
It's an okay show, but it's become boring. The neocons always get their way and never go to jail. People die all over the world, but the neocons go on forever.
There is no hope of a better future, so birth rates continue to fall.
As President Snow said in "The Hunger Games," "You have to give them some hope, but not too much."
Some hope, but not too much. That's is the showman's creed. You're spot on with no one going to jail. Trump never goes full wrath on the bastards, and so no one ever feels like there's resolution, so like a Bollywood blockbuster, folks wander off after 4 or 5 hours of endless screeching with no end in sight.
Ah, good choice. One I haven't screened in quite a while. I even have Kramer's filmography in my library. Even with that cast, Tony Perkins still steals the show.
Ah, a day which will live in infamy, when blood bleach and swallowing UV lights became a thing, and Fauci Flu was invented (though I still prefer Kung Flu).
Looks like I might be able to post a comment again--been a week or so since the post button has showed, and I'll keep this short before it disappears again. Think I have mentioned the 4th turning concept before. Your post pretty much falls in line with it. We are in deep doodoo and as you mentioned, there isn't much any of us can do to stop it reaching it's conclusion. 5-8 more years, and then the next saeculum takes off. Impossible to say right now if the good guys or the bad guys come out on top, but guaranteed, the world will be quite different from what we have become accustomed to. I laugh when I read about those rich folks and their 'bunkers" Bet that none of them know the first thing about growing food, so what will live be like when they exit--assuming that a bunch of peons aren't waiting outside for their eventual appearance. Ah we do live in interesting times--hope to have enough years left to see the outcome.
I don't know if I'll make it to the outcome, but I'll be satisfied to see it all begin. I want a little "told ya so" before I move on. In any case, I want to see the dawn of the Morlocks.
I'm a bit resentful that I didn't get the expected prize with my Happy Meal, but on the other hand watching the world spin off its hinges has been vastly entertaining. As screwball as Huxley, Orwell and Kafka made their imaginary worlds, the real thing has put them all to shame. I am rather proud that my generation was able to give the world the ability to stream the apocalypse in real time to every corner of the Earth. That's quite an achievement, methinks.
The illusionist paints quite the picture of 'patriotism'. A quote from the ending Godfather one, any sucker who sacrifices their life for the kingdom.... Considering the "bone spur" get out of nam can stand as a Commander is pure hogwash
The Greatest Show on Earth, is before our eyes. A multitude of tents and offerings overshadowed by the orange big top. The hoi polloi are making badges that declares their favored pronoun so as to not be mis-gendered in case of death or serious injury during war.
The unmanned aerial vehicle ( UAV) drones have flipped what many construed as one of the best jobs on Earth, to service the Queen in procreation. I myself, since discovering the NSA was spying on Americans in 1969 realize the pendulum has nearly reached it amplitude and is headed back towards equilibrium, a short term respite…. I hope.
You know what? This comment borders on Dylan's "Desolation Row". Just need a basic guitar riff and a blast of occasional harmonica and you're off to the races!
My wife obtained Dylan’s autograph in 1964 at Newport Folk Festival. We were married 1976 in Hibbing, MN. Birthplace of Dylan, and two other famous men. Vincent Bugliosi, prosecutor ( Los Angeles, CA ) famous for helping convict Charles Manson. His book, “Helter Skelter” was his best selling. The Beatles release “Helter Skelter” in 1968, which has been suspected of influencing Manson to commit the Sharon Tate murders. Last but not least Kevin McHale, a round ball wizard. Myself was oblivious to all as I could not keep my hand out my pants.
But that show of strength of military might celebratinf 250 years of warmongering for the key to the empire! Symbolic that the glory days of light were replaced by dark skies and rain.
Ah yes, the State projecting power in orgiastic displays of men and machines. Trump does love a show, but ultimately that's all it is. He's playing some kind of weird game of pulling punches. Ultimately, neither friend nor foe will be happy, and the US is likely to lose both and become irrelevant in any situation.
Well, it has been as you predicted Sir. You told me before Trump 'won' that he would be a massive disappointment and I think he's even Worse than that! 80% of his 'base' have no more use for him. Just a few emotionally bankrupt people from MAGA are still saying "Wait! Trump knows what he's doing! It's just going to take more time!! Remember, save Israel for LAST!".
Last Nation Standing maybe. The whole MAGA and MAHA thing was a giant PSYOP for the Patriots. And Trump IS the SNAKE in his own STORY!
EXCELLENT, Sir!! It's all a big theater show and we're in act 3789 or which ever. For quite some time I've come to this conclusion, but wouldn't be able to express it in such eloquent prose as you.

How many times must we be warned of the consequences of our unconsciousness?

Trump was fun back in the day, but the world went and got a lot more serious since then.
Yeah, he's like a one-note comedian whose schtick ages out from under him. He needs some fresh material.
Hahaha. March 16th, 2020, was the end of Trump; he just didn't know it.
Was that the day "Corona" became "Covid," because AB-InBev was losing market share?
March 16th was the notorious press conference with Fauci and Scarf Woman.
Ah, a day which will live in infamy, when blood bleach and swallowing UV lights became a thing, and Fauci Flu was invented (though I still prefer Kung Flu).
Back in the day he was raping minors???

An oddly specific date that coincides with the last and final time I fell off the wagon.
Seems to me we are quickly running out of opportunities to be warmed more.
Aye, there's the rub. Though I would remind you of Clarence's great line in "RoboCop," "Opportunity is where you find it."

Another Dylan quote comes to mind: You find out when you reach the top, you're on the bottom. Welcome, friends, to the grand illusion.

They're selling postcards of the handing,
They're painting the passports brown.
The beauty parlor is full of sailors,
and the circus is in town.
Here comes the blind commissioner,
They've got him in trance.
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker,
And the other is in his pants.
