Whistling Past the National Train Wreck, Pointlessly rearranging the deck chairs

Excerpt:
"What you see is what you get now. America is in critical condition, and it looks it. You can judge this book by its cover. Give me your obese, your tattooed, your weezing, chronically ill with oxygen tanks and walkers. Wretched refuse indeed. Your endless migrants, who don’t speak English and urinate and defecate in public. What’s not to love?

A society is reflected in its leaders. And what leaders America 2.0 has! Our political “representatives” are so dedicated to not representing us that every piece of legislation they pass is assumed to be yet another figurative drone strike to the population. I’ve been a political junkie for over fifty years, and I couldn’t tell you when the last law was passed that benefited the People in the slightest way. That’s why libertarianism, and now anarchy, has become popular. The best we can hope for with these beloved statesmen (and stateswomen, and soon to be statetransgenders), is that they do nothing. That we pay them their generous salaries, and give them the lucrative benefits very few of us get, to maybe rape an underage page, or be bribed by a special interest group. Just don’t pass any legislation. Pretty please.

As I wrote recently in depth about, Americans also have to contend with the occupying force of militarized police officers. They are the standing army Thomas Jefferson warned about. They serve no function other than to annoy, harass, and sometimes kill the befuddled citizens who pay them. They are never there when you need them, and are incapable of solving any real crime. They are good at beating people (as long as you are a vulnerable target who represents no danger to them), planting evidence, and lying on their police reports.
...
Our government agencies are all worthless, providing no real services other than to begrudgingly pay us back the money they stole from us (Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment Compensation), or provide the benefits they promised (military personnel). But, like savage beasts that are always hungry, they must be fed. Paid better than those who pay them, and with much better benefits. While conservatives bemoan “welfare,” which was altered significantly under Bill Clinton, so that fewer people receive less money, they fail to see the federal government itself for what it is: a gigantic, entitled welfare recipient.
...
A citizenry basically has two ways to try and reform things. To abolish bad laws and “mandates,” get rid of corrupt leaders, and enact better laws that ensure better leaders. One is by the voting process. As should be obvious by this point, that isn’t an option here. ‘Murricans reelect some 96 percent of the worst people on earth to “represent” them every election. Either this is because they are incurably stupid, or because the votes aren’t honestly counted. Either way, we’re screwed. The other way is by legal redress. Judicial Review, which everyone except Thomas Jefferson, and me, seems to think is the constitutional way to do it. Donald Trump’s and Alex Jones’s show trials alone demonstrate that the legal system is hopelessly compromised, by criminally biased judges, unethical prosecutors, and brainless juries.
...
RFK, Jr.’s recent inexplicable disclosure that he had suffered from a brain worm, which caused him to lose some cognitive function, really hammered home how tragically comic things are. We have Joe Biden, so obviously suffering from dementia that he wouldn’t be trusted by the average nursing home to lead a transgender story time hour, and Donald Trump, who if you accept him at face value (which I don’t), has the emotional maturity of a twelve year old. And now Bobby, Jr. With a worm in his head. Not exactly Jefferson vs. Adams. But many- perhaps millions- still believe the “White Hats” are just around the corner. Despite no evidence of any good people in power anywhere, some still trust that they will save us."

    The best we can hope for with these beloved statesmen (and stateswomen, and soon to be statetransgenders), is that they do nothing.

    That's why I was happy in 2016 when Trump won. I knew that no matter which party controlled Congress, they wouldn't work with him, so we'd be spared any big new Federal agencies or spending programs. It was working out just as I expected until Covid came along.

      Not enough, though. Not even close. It’s over. He’ll either get killed by his political enemies, thrown in jail, or be distracted again with media criticisms of him. If he could put the blinders on and charge ahead steadfast it would make a little, temporary dent and that’s all. We’re hell-bent driving the train off the cliff…

        guess we'll see....

        his tweets are misdirection have value

        and almost alone among those in power, he brought Peace to the middle east
        and would likely have had Russia as a US ally

        What a defeatist black pill statement And when he turns things around you will claim you knew he was the man to do it. How about using a bit of discernment. Start with every5hing you h@ve been told by the media is a lie. Trump has the people behind. Most are awakened but many can’t get past their own ego’s and can’t see beyond their belief bias. Thinking they know more how things should be done than “a mean tweeter”.” Ijust don’t like him” Style seems to be a thing with them. 97% of Media stories about Trump are negative, ya you don’t like him either but your not influenced . FuQ that.
        Read this analysis by a real journalist to give you a sliver of knowledge of what has been done behind the scenes or hidden by your media. https://badlands.substack.com/p/the-d...
        We are at war and it is either the beginning or the END. You probably thinQ Trump is doing this so he can build a golf course in Moscow. He will never give up but since you finally got out of the shit hole in California you have.
        In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. That’s me.

    I think the OATH OF OFFICE for government employees, regardless of level SHOULD CARRY THE DEATH PENALTY!
    Harsh Penalties with MANDATORY YEARS IN PRISON for lesser offenses to ensure they get the message.

    "Our political “representatives” are so dedicated to not representing us that every piece of legislation they pass is assumed to be yet another figurative drone strike to the population." It's looking that way!

    A depressing article and the author doesn't seem to like him, but I still think Trump stands the best chance of cleaning up some of this mess in comparison to so many others.

    Although much of what you write is absolutely the truth, you go too far in generalize about what you call military police.
    The police in our state of South Carolina are nothing but the best of the best. Most are transplanted from other states who could no longer stand what was going on, and their lack of backing. They now provide some of the best support any citizen could ask for.

    I can agree with almost all that he writes as far as the problems we face. However the solution is none of the above. The ONLY way to fix the country is to convene a Convention of the States and repeal and replace the amendments which broken the constitution and create amendments that protect us from evil as much as possible.
