You take a few hours off to take care of your dying cat and the next thing you know exactly what you predicted many weeks ago happened.
When the media wet its collective pants over Trump saying he'd meet with the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, I told people I bet it didn't happen. It was when I heard that it had happened unexpectedly, all of a sudden as Trump met with South Korean national security adviser Chung Eui-yong I was pretty sure I knew how it had happened.
Trump was meeting with the guy, he got bored with listening to important stuff, he wanted to get back to his TV and in-bedded Big Mac and, knowing nothing, having no idea what he was saying he'd do he either said "sure" to a proposal or he said they should have a meeting on his own so he could end the meeting. Anyone who thinks there was more thought put in it than that hasn't been paying attention.
I think it's good that the Koreans on both sides understand that since the United States is putting total idiots into the presidency, idiots who could start a nuclear or disastrous conventional war, getting millions killed, maybe setting off World War III (presumably that last such war before we cause our own extinction), they're on their own. And if not them then the rest of the world.
This is a consequence of allowing the major super-power in the world to fall into the state of decadence the United States has, trained by lying TVs and hate talk radios into stupid, racist, paranoid, envious fascism. Putin, of course, helped but Rupert Murdoch and the rest of the American Media did most of the ground work that allowed him to do what he did.
That whining over my first post yesterday isn't unusual, how many places have you read anyone admitting that everything Putin used was something we permitted to our domestic fascist billionaires and the American corporate sector. It just took one Citizens United decision to open up things to everything Putin took advantage of and we did that all by ourselves. The pseudo-liberal, liberalish-libertarian civil liberties industry deserves a huge amount of the discredit.
I doubt we'll learn our lesson if we survive this. America's gone stupid. It didn't take invasive mushrooms or Goof Gas, it just took choosing to not value the truth over lies.
Speaking of stupid...
ReplyDelete"As for the racism, Brown Sugar would be enough to clinch that aspect of it."
Yeah. Just like this Randy Newman song is racist. If you're a moron who doesn't understand irony and literary devices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p77609cWO4U
Oh, yeah, everyone knows that Randy Newman wrote in exactly then same vein as Mick Jagger.
DeleteTalk about America gone stupid. Why not claim that the Skillet Lickers were enormous supporters of civil rights?
Really? So you didn't know that Randy Newman played piano on Jagger's most brilliant solo record?

Listen to yourself, you attention deficient asshole, claiming that playing the piano is the same thing as writing lyrics and singing them.
DeleteOnly a stupid, white male chauvinist (in all the senses of the word) could listen to the lyrics of Brown Sugar and claim that they weren't obviously and massively racist and sexist and that the song is not a fantasy of white supremacy, a slave master beating black slave women for his sexual pleasure to titillate your inner racist male fantasies.
If Randy Newman played with Jagger I think the less of him for it.

ReplyDeleteHey, you have issues. That's not my fault.
And now he makes resort to what he calls the Pee Wee Herman tactic.
DeleteYou're the one who claims the song isn't overtly racist and sexist, something which Jagger, himself apparently has admitted. Next you'll claim that that his song about fucking a fifteen year old girl isn't about pedophilia.
