Told by an idiot ...


Out, Out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing. Macbeth Act V, Scene V

Well, the worst debate in history is now history with Biden looking pale and weak and Trump looking robust and insane. To yours truly, Shakespeare's quote sums it up because America is nearing its end if nothing of consequence is done. It's that bad and people know it. A complete reset is needed, beginning with term limits for all three branches and a complete redo of the tax code as endless years of the corruption of Mitch McConnell and significant others, combined with the ever increasing impact of inequality ginned up by the tax code, is killing this nation 24/7.

What does the worst debate in American history look like? It looks like the debate that took place on Tuesday night between President Donald Trump and the former Vice-President Joe Biden. It was a joke, a mess, a disaster. A “shit show,” a “dumpster fire,” a national humiliation. No matter how bad you thought the debate would be, it was worse. Way worse. Trump shouted, he bullied, he hectored, he lied, and he interrupted, over and over again.

But it's not just Trump, it's the system. As George Carlin in The Real Owners said, The real owners own this fucking place. Politicians don't matter, the MIC, banks and the big corporations do and they want this disastrous state of affairs to run forever because in the end, it's all about their money. Always has been, always will be. A revolution is needed, let's hope it's peaceful but they never really are, just ask the French about this.

To be continued.
