Feel sorry for the addle-pated, megalomaniacal Too Aulde Jaux? Diplomad snorts, contemptuously and with malice aforethought,\u00a0that\u2019ll<\/em> be the fucking day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Let me take that up.<\/p>\n

Feel sorry for Biden?<\/em><\/p>\n

Nope. Not one bit. For the past fifty years, Biden has been one of the most disgusting, unprincipled politicians on the American scene. Look up his performance on the Clarence Thomas hearings, for example. He stole years’ worth of classified documents, tried to peddle them to a ghost writer, participated in his crack head son’s shady businesses, took money from foreign businesses and governments, and was clearly a racist and an abuser of women, and his daughter. He is a borderline pedo. He tanked his first run for the Presidency when he plagiarized an entire speech from, of all people, Neil Kinnock (Ugh!) He has been a serial fabulist making up wild Walter Mitty-type stories about his past, e.g., arrested on his way to see Mandela, taking on Cornpop. He has lied repeatedly about his first wife’s death, and that of his son, Beau. More important, he has been a disaster as President, and has caused our nation, and the West serious, perhaps irreparable harm. He has destabilized the Middle East; led Putin to invade Ukraine; encouraged Iran and its proxies to seek nuclear weapons and increase their global terror campaign; he has opened our border and our society to a flood of millions of illegal aliens from all over the world, murders, rapes, and other mayhem have followed.<\/p>\n

Feel sorry for him?<\/em><\/p>\n

Hardly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

UltraubermegaMAGA-dittos, Mr Diplomad, sir. Me, I intend to save my sympathy for someone actually deserving<\/em> of it. Which is not now, nor will it ever be, the corrupt, mouldering oxygen thief currently befouling the Oval Office air by his noxious presence therein.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve stated before here, and still mean every last word of it, that I fervently hope every minute of the usurper Biden\u2019s time in the office he desperately lusted after for lo, those many decades will add up to the most miserable, frustrating, unpleasant days of his entire useless existence, right up until the frabjous day he finally keels over dead in his exorbitantly overpriced desk chair. After all the suffering, deprivation, and disaster he\u2019s wreaked during half a century of suckling gluttonously at the government teat, let the shambolic shitbag suffer his own damned self\u2014as much suffering as he can endure, plus some. The thought of such as he finally grabbing (stealing<\/em>, more like) the brass ring,\u00a0then going on to live happily ever after perched behind the Resolute desk rankles me to an intolerable degree.<\/p>\n

Petty of me, mean-spirited, even? Meh, could be, could be. Don\u2019t give a lumpy fart, don\u2019t care who thinks it is.<\/p>\n

Entertaining as it was for Real Americans, however, there\u2019s a broader, more pressing point lurking beneath the surface of last week\u2019s debate-night debacle, and Caitlin Johnstone makes it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

If people really believed the president runs the country, they\u2019d be freaking out that Biden in his demented haze might order an attack on the Soviet Union or nuke Libya to kill Muammar Gaddafi or something. They\u2019re not worried that this will happen because they know their government is actually being run by unelected empire managers from behind the scenes, and that Biden is just the official face on the operation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Perhaps more troubling is that evidently, people in the main trust<\/span> those unelected empire managers to do a good job of running things, and harbor a\u00a0naive<\/em>\u00a0and unfounded faith in the good intentions of said managers. They seem to believe that, even though this unwholesome arrangement isn\u2019t the way things were supposed to be in America, at the end of the day the Deep State\u2019s Grey Men are patriotic Americans not all that different from themselves: fundamentally decent, honorable men and women who share similar aspirations, desires, and values to the ones they hold dear.<\/p>\n

Whatever their personal foibles, failings, and trivial departures from traditional life and thought, the Government Greyfaces nonetheless love puppies, children, Grandma, and backyard cookouts with family and friends. They love their country, its people, its customs, and respect its history. They stand, salute the flag, and sing the national anthem at baseball games. They would never harm, harass, bully, or in any manner traduce the Constitutional rights of any solid, law-abiding citizen without cause. Only criminals, outlaw bikers, public nuisances, and dope fiends need fear their wrath, which is no more than meet and just.<\/p>\n

They celebrate 4th of July and Christmas, take the kids out trick or treating on Halloween, enjoy the annual Thanksgiving gathering and the post-feast NFL game, and consider themselves to be good Christians, if maybe not always quite as good as they really should be. They work hard to fulfill their sworn duty to protect and serve, pay their taxes in full and on time, wear their seatbelt, drive safely and courteously, and keep to their own lane and tend to their own business in general. They don\u2019t complain, don\u2019t drink to excess, don\u2019t abuse, neglect, or mistreat their wife and kids. They keep their lawns neatly manicured, their homes tidy, clean, and well-maintained.<\/p>\n

Y\u2019know, just like the rest of us. Right? RIIIGHT?!?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, as thousands of our fellow Americans have learned to their great cost over the last five-ten years, Joe Squarejohn has all of the above\u00a0entirely assbackwards and wrong.<\/p>\n

\n

So in order to hold their mainstream worldview together, liberals are simultaneously straddling the two completely contradictory concepts that (A) it doesn\u2019t matter who the president is because the country is actually run by unelected empire managers, and (B) that Biden\u2019s debate performance was very concerning because it means Trump will become president.<\/p>\n

In reality the US empire has marched along in all its usual depravity despite its official leader having Swiss cheese for a brain this entire time. They got their genocide in Gaza and their world-threatening proxy war against Russia, as well as China policy that is vastly more hawkish than that of Biden\u2019s predecessors. The imperial murder machine hasn\u2019t skipped a beat in its nonstop campaign of steadily increasing global tyranny.<\/p>\n

This has happened because US presidential elections are fake and the results don\u2019t matter. It wouldn\u2019t matter if Americans elected a labrador retriever or a bottle of Tabasco sauce; the empire would roll forward without the slightest interruption. The wars would continue. The economic injustice would continue. The surging authoritarianism would continue. The oligarchy and corruption would continue. The ecocidal capitalism would continue. The imperialist extraction would continue.<\/p>\n

US elections are just a diversion to keep Americans from pushing for real change in ways that pose a meaningful challenge to power, and Americans already kind of know this. The sooner they stop compartmentalizing away from this fact that they\u2019re already dimly aware of and face reality, the sooner they can start bringing health to both their nation and the world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There\u2019s abundant fodder for dispute here\u2014\u201cgenocide\u201d in Gaza, \u201cecocidal” capitalism, \u201chawkish” China policy\u2014standard issue, Mark-1 Mod-0 shitlib shibboleths all, with no more truth in \u2018em than there is in any given Faux Jaux Bribem speech. As for \u201cbringing health\u201d to the world, that ain\u2019t no way no how America\u2019s job, nor is it within America\u2019s power to do, nor should any sensible person want America to take a stab at it, much less succeed. Fact is, most if not all of the trouble and woe the world is staring down the muzzle of at present is the predictable end-product of endless attempts by arrogant\u00a0\u00dcberstadt<\/em> lackwits to \u201cbring health to the world,” by hook or by crook.<\/p>\n

\u201cHealth,\u201d you say? Whose definition of \u201chealth,\u201d pray tell? What about people whose conception of \u201chealth\u201d conflicts with the officially authorized version\u2014are they to be assaulted, jailed, or coerced into toeing the party line by some other method\u2014a tax penalty, a fine, a travel ban, summary disbarment from social interaction, gainful employment, grocery stores, commercial and\/or banking privileges, say? Shall The Deciders\u2019 definition of \u201chealth\u201d be put to a vote? Will said definition be subject to review and revision? If so, how often, and by whom? Will a Select Blue-Ribbon Committee for the Advancement of Global Health need to be established? Should Committee members be elected or appointed? If they\u2019re to be appointed, how will those appointments be made, and by whom\u2014the (formerly) sovereign states, POTUS, the EU, the UN? By what criteria will those appointees be selected? Will said criteria also be subject to periodic review and\/or revision? How long a term will Committee members serve? A year, two years? Ten years, until death?<\/p>\n

You begin to see the problems here, I suspect, popping up their ugly heads like gophers in a truck patch. Any subject of a bloated Leviathan goobermint will recognize them without having to think very hard or long about it, such problems are all too familiar in those districts. Worse, the aforementioned list is only the beginning; many, many additional problematic questions will soon follow, as surely as night follows day. Naturally, the answers to those multitudinous questions never, ever vary in the slightest:<\/p>\n
