Just a quick post on American politics. I'm so done with it all. I lasted a whole 15 minutes watching the state of the union. Actually 10 minutes longer than I thought I'd last. 😁 I just couldn't sit through it.
The State of the Union starts with the cameras panning across the audience showing members of congress and other political figures in attendance. Looking at congress I'm actually sickened looking at a sea of gray-haired dated old people who have literally destroyed our country. This is not the same place I grew up in. It all went to hell after Sept. 11th and these old bastards are the people responsible. They've eroded our rights away to nothing and continue to take more. WE NEED TERM LIMITS. It's really that simple. Most of these old-timers haven't worked a real job outside the government. Their entire life has been funded by the taxpayer and most of them live like billionaires with huge mansions and private jets. Sickening really and it's obvious something is really wrong with that scenario.
The President begins his speech. I can't help but wonder if we took the last 30 to 60 years of State of the Union addresses and listened to them back to back if they'd sound exactly the same. The only thing that really changes is the current conflict we're in. Replace Ukraine, with Iraq, Panama, Korea, or Vietnam and you're likely to get the exact same speech going on about jobs, infrastructure, oil prices, etc. Maybe squeeze in some "new" "woke politics" to change things up a bit.
My point to this is, NOTHING CHANGES! The outbursts from several party members are not surprising. I think it shows just how turbulent the atmosphere of American politics really is. The corruption, the lies, the manipulation. I think even the politicians are starting to turn on each other.
Seriously, if you haven't figured it out yet. The two-party system no longer works. I personally don't think congress or the rest of the government can be fixed. With that said, I don't know how to fix this, but I do know we can't carry on like this. The other thing I know is the US can't take much more of this. If we don't get a strong president and fix congress, it's just a matter of time until things go from bad to worse.
You can almost feel it in the air. People are fed up with the shitshow that has become Washington. IMHO if things don't change soon, the SHTF soon. I can't even imagine what this next election is going to be like.
Is it just me, or does the Vice President always look like she's smirking? Her facial expression reminded me of someone who's pursing her lips together trying not to break out in laughter. Does anyone else get that vibe or is it just me? Seriously...
A few predictions:
In the US, most people have gotten past the covid narrative. The press still keeps the story alive though. I predict a huge outbreak of Covid right before the election. I SINCERELY HOPE I'M WRONG. But I want it on the record because, in my heart, I know I'm right and some will call it a coincidence, but I'll call it "by design" and link to this post 🤣
This one is also a no-brainer. This is going to be a shitshow like no other. THERE ARE NO GOOD CANDIDATES that I can think of. Whoever they select for the primaries will be just more of the same AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH PARTY YOU VOTE FOR. The officials have been bought and paid for by their corporate interests on BOTH SIDES. They (our representatives) no longer "represent" you or me. I'm going to be generous and say this goes for about 90% of them, maybe a few of them still care. At this point, who knows?
The Trump circus will come to town and probably divide the Republican party further. Joe Biden seems pretty adamant about running for a second term. This is going to cause a lot of drama on the Democrat side because a lot of his own party wants him gone. Still, this could be the perfect recipe to give Creepy Joe a second term.
I'm smirking as I write this because the American public might look and act stupid from time to time, but they're smart enough to see through all this bullshit. I'm really curious to see how much of this they take before Americans start acting like Americans again.
Not that anyone asked, but that's my two sats! What a mess!
On a final note, I couldn't imagine anyone even wanting the job of becoming part of that cesspool. The dirty politics, the lack of privacy, the corruption, the lies, the manipulation. This could be a huge part of the problem. Who in their right mind would even want to put themselves and their family members through all that? The smart people among us, are smart enough to not get involved in politics and I'm really wondering if that's by design as well.
