Trump is like a child, he is so ignorant and self-centered, lives in such a fantasy world of military parades and sword dances that in a way he is not responsible. Pence is a cunning dunce waiting for the emperor to be slain so he can take the throne, despicable but a stock character in a Shakespeare play. McConnell is a weasel, near the bottom of the animal kingdom, but nevertheless an animal in good standing. I think maybe Paul Ryan is the worst. It almost seems like he would know better with his aw shucks boy scour manner, but he can turn on the spiel with the drop of a Davy Crockett hat.
And there he was yesterday morning spieling for the army. The budget had to be passed so that GI Joe could buy shoes for his kids. The army is in poor shape, we are, sort of, in three wars, there are all these training accidents. The army needs more money. Remember when the reps were down on the public schools. They were just no good they claimed and therefore we shouldn't be giving them any money. The problem can't be solved by throwing money at it they claimed. The army hasn't won a war since WW II and they aren't winning any now so the solution is to throw more money at them.
Okay, that last part is a little deceptive. They haven't won any wars besides Desert Storm One, but they have been in a lot of crappy meaningless wars. But we shouldn't even have been in those wars, so what do we need an army for? And that money isn't going to buy GI Joe's kids shoes, it's going to buy weapon systems that may or may not work,but will work to transfer money into the pockets of that well-known complex. And how about that hundred million that the armed forces, gosh, doesn't know what happened to it? Does anybody doubt it ended up in the pockets of fat cats? Will it be investigated? Not by the party that runs everything now and is bankrolled by fat cats.
But this evening, right around supper time, clicking through channels, what was that sweet song? There it was on CNN. Ron Paul, that crazy fucker who I hate, I hate almost everything he does and says. But I couldn't agree more when he talks about stupid wars. Yes, the plain truth, that not even my hero Obama would speak. Obama was way more of a hawk than I thought he would be. What do we need this big army for? We don't know which side we are on in the middle east, we really don't give a fuck what happens in Afghanistan, all our expensive fancy weapons don't mean shit to Kim Jong-un's goose stepping hordes and mildly attractive sister. And the deficit, my god the deficit that the reps are always preaching about, how about those hot-air stalwarts in the freedom caucus, ballooned like never before. Nobody can bust a budget like the reps in control of the gummint.
Our people are going jobless, hungry, homeless, attending crappy schools. What kind of country is our money-sucking army defending?
