The Bitch is Baaacccckkk!
Is Hillary back?
If it quacks like a duck….?
Biden is not a lame duck. Just an old duck who needs a walker.
Biden can't fly or swim. –He just sits there in the mud on the edge of a polluted pond, quacking incoherently.“Poor thing”, everyone says,” look at Poor Joe, the Duck with a Stutter”.
At the same time, imagining a duck cooked in orange sauce. Yummy!
Not this one -- old duck meat is stringy and tasteless—and the pond, as I said, is filthy and contaminated .
But Joe is not dead yet.
In fact, he says he will run in 2024!
Although he can’t remember what for. Something in the American Duckocracy.
No matter, he will likely as not just waddle off into a dotery of “speaking engagements”, where he mostly doesn’t speak much. “My fellow Americans” will do, if he can remember that. Maybe a fist bump with invisible people. And he will get paid $500, 000, which will help buy hookers and coke for Hunter.
Run or not run --what does it matter? The American people don’t have “choice”. The US of Awful is not a pro-choice country – in anything. It is not just about women’s bodies but the Body Politic. That’s what Feminists ignore. “Choice”
is a lot bigger than their wombs.
What’s on the 2024 menu?
Not duck. The Duopoly never has but two things on the menu—and they always taste the same—and they are junk food.
On the Right, we know that the Donald could run again -- and win handily it were now. "I told ya' so" lines. "Are ya better off today than 4 years ago?" War and recession and a failing dollar all play to his narrative.
The Dem’ base is tired of hating Trump — they need new villains — and they will stay home. The RePubes have been energized by the constant attacks of the Dems.
Are their options other than Trump?
If Tucker Carlson ran, he would be a shoo-in. But he's the most successful talk show guy in history. ( Eat your heart out, Bill Maher.!) But, as far as Republicans are concerned, he is not a team player but rather a contrarian, who shameless talks to liberals like they were …um… people. And why would he give up saying what he wants to say as on TV for the Presidency where he has to follow a script?
So, on the Right it’s Trump – or — if he gets monkey pox all over his face – Di Santos, who is the monkey without the pox.
On the “Left” side of the political ball sac — assuming Joe becomes just too embarrassing – or has a stroke – or falls down the steps of Air Force One and dies -- who will replace him? Bernie? That's a joke. Please laugh.
Warren? The DNP distrusts her as a closet leftist, thanks to a little liberal posturing to compete with Bernie's liberal posturing in the last primary, not to mention some pseudo “leftist” posturing before that to gain attention.
Nowadays, AOC has taken over the “progressive”mantle.
Warren, sadly, is upstaged by AOC's rap and she doesn’t have AOC's ass .
Anyway, Liz is not running for President.
Maybe she's also smart enough to see the Duckocratic National Party as a lost cause. When in doubt — keep your independence.
The Governor of California? Hey, he’s a Californian, dudes!
Please don’t say “Michelle Obama”. Black? Check! Female? Check! Looks “nice” as a First Mother should? Uncheck. In tough times, you need a Bitch.
Given its fear of leftwing, progressive or even liberal candidates with intact brain cells, not to mention, the party’s history or repeating its mistakes ---we may indeed see the DNP running Shrillary again.
Gran’Pa Joe is in his room fondling prepubescent girls in his imagination and drooling. Gran’ Ma is in the kitchen putting the place in order and planning the funeral and feeding him small does of arsenic.
Still not convinced?
If the Dems could run Biden in 2020, they can run any warmed up, week-old slice of pizza. Pretend the blue shit is Roquefort cheese. They make penicillin from it don’t they?
Democratic “strategists” don’t care — they are the political version of roaches – they eat anything.
They will opine that the Hillary is “inclusive” since she wears pantsuits — that she is iconic Feminist who “woke” along before the word had currency.
She also has bigger balls than Bill’s which may appeal to those how like large and hairy.
She is “progressive” since once upon a time he is has alluded to stuff like healthcare, education and so on---someday after America’s Forever Wars are over – and the Apocalypse after that -- but, as a former Goldwater Girl, regressive enough for the Rightwing because she says that all those good, “progressive things come, along with the Second Coming of Jesus — they will all be privately funded.
As a registered, certified psychopath who thinks that anal rape with a bayonet is fun stuff, she fits right in with the Billionaire Family Values.
Yeah, the Witch is back. Or is that “the Bitch is back?” Hillary, naturally, now insists she supports Joe. She’s not pushing his wheelchair off the cliff. He has his NeoCon caregivers to do that. He’s heading towards the abyss without her help. And fast.
Liar, liar pantsuits on fire.
But since Hillary is not even a good retread why do the American people take it? There is no rubber on this wheel at all.
First, the US of Awful is not a democracy. And never has been.
And even if it were somehow, somewhat, somewhen democratic, politics in the US is, as I have suggested elsewhere, faith rather than fact-based, rooted in illusion, delusion and myth, exploiting public juvenility.
The further the DNP recession deepens and consumers suffer, and the public bangs its economic knees on high gas pressures, high rents, foreclosures, unemployment, and stomach poisoning from crappy food, the more they will cry out to Mommy or Daddy to fix the cuts and scrapes. “Now, now darling, it will all OK”, says Mommy . “Be a man” says Daddy, even if it’s a daughter. And they give the kid a Marvel comic to read to distract him. And they give the kid a Marvel comic to read to distract from the pain as the gangrene sets in, as they go back to CNN.
The public is not really stupid. Just neotenous – which means perpetually immature., a biological characteristic seen mostly in human beings and naked mole rats. It’s genetic. And is beneficial —for hunters and gatherers — just not in the US of A, where it manifests more like Angelman Syndrome.
If the “people” weren’t forever brainwashed, abused children, they’re would have a revolution or two years ago to create a real democracy, that y’know one that prioritized human needs and rights – the real kind, not the picture book comic-book stuff.
You want to understand your country? Look at elementary school.
The “American people” collectively have the mentality of an overweight eight year old’ who lives on ice-cream and French fries and Santa and the Tooth Fairy and the BoogeyMan — all appetite and entertainment.
Countries are hierarchies with political gangs called “parties”; elementary schools are hierarchies with gangs known as “in-groups” . In both cases, these “gangs” define the culture of inclusion and exclusion.
Political parties are run by a few rich people with Clout and steal your money. Kid’s gangs are run by big kids who will clout you and rob you of your lunch money. In either case, you give away what you have, and imitate your Uppers, and hope to become one of them. Of course, every country or school as two dominant gangs.
While human beings are genetically neotenous by nature, under the right circumstances able to take vantage of the juvenescent characteristics, such as creativity, curiosity, playfulness, empathy and altruism life long, America society perverts nature reducing these strengths to weaknesses. Creativity becomes conformity. Curiosity becomes prurience. Play relies on cheating. Empathy is manipulation. Altruism is for yourself only.
In the USA, the Dem Gang believes that Trump somehow did not play by the ruels in 2016 -- that he was put in power by the BoogeyMan-- Vladimir Putin under the bed with Julian Assange. When people looked, they couldn’t see either. But they knew they were there, causing their nightmares. American politics assumes Powerful People Behind the Scenes—or under the bed -- pulling the strings. And much of the public agree. Everybody lies. Everybody cheats. So, in 2020, it was the Dems accused of cheating. How can you win, if you don’t cheat?
An eight-year-old in our society is pretty much powerless.
His parents tell him what to do and if he is Good he gets ice cream and fries. Good means obedience to them, not to his nature.
At school the big kids and their gangs bully him and tell him what to do. And if he is Good, they may let him join. His teachers tell him what to do. They punish him if he is “out of line” since lining up is very important. They reward him if he is Good. So kids have to pretend a lot. And pretense is easiest if you believe it. Good and Evil are not moral or ethical propositions: they are social accommodations.
When you are brought up denying your nature, Evil is behind you in the Dark. Or under the Bed. A shadow or an echo of the wrong-ness of your world, the non-being of your existence.
Kid’s fairy tales and comics about heroes and villains are all fantasies of Good vs Evil: we are moral animals, forced to live in amoral societies. We take refuge in such stories but do not learn from them.
Cognitive dissonance? Or moral dissonance?
The Media, like pornographers, cater to appetite and need. They cater to our this dissonance and to social perversions of nature.
We believe the media because it meets our needs in the same way that we eat Cheetos because it slakes our hunger. We do not dare disbelieve.
For example, many people still think that Russiagate was a “thing” even though it has been thoroughly debunked at great cost to the taxpayer. Ditto: Ukrainegate which ended up exposing the Biden’s corruption rather than Trump’s incompetence. The Impeachment trials were the ultimate in sour grapes but no matter, it was Good against Evil. And the January 6 “insurrection” show trials which would make Stalin proud are again part of the battle against the satanic forces of Republicanism and …um….cosplay.
.Now, America has started WWIII against the Russia, defending Truth, Liberty and the American Way, which just don’t happen to be anybody else’s Truth, Liberty or Way.
We don’t call it a “world war” of course, because it’s not like WWI, which wasn’t like WWII either: and it’s different from our expectations of WWIII, with everyone dead except for Bill and Jeff and Elon and politicians in their bunkers.
In modern times, we have learned never to call anything by its real name.
This is a war against the world – but not “hot” war or even a “cold war” A hot war is like a very hot bath. Too hot and you die. A cold war is an ice bath. It can kill you too.
This war is warmish like a backyard swimming pool that you mostly look at and you really have for the kids. They don’t use it because they can’t swim.
Throw in your eight year.
Oh my, drowned! Well, had a choice! Sink or swim.
The kids think it’s a fun game until they realize they can’t swim.
Don’t be surprised if the USA gets crazier. Don’t be surprised at Wicked Bitch of the East running for office –or Trump becoming president again. Don’t be surprised at the kids drowning. Or the sad funeral, which is for you.
The US of Awful has constructed an Alternative Reality; it lives in another dimension, on another earth. But all realities have their own dynamics. All dimensions are governed by their own logics. All universes die.
As an empire, US of A has taken more innocent lives than any other In history. The American Dream? All nightmares begin as dreams. Or at least as fun and games like a Slasher movie.
Which of the Four Horsemen is Joe Biden? Which is Trump? Which is Shrillary?
Sink or Swim?
