I intended to review “Sleepy Hollow” tonight for “October Viewing.” But I haven’t seen it since it was in the theaters many years ago and it was too late tonight to watch it because I have work Monday. So, I have to come up with something else to talk about.
Alright, let’s see.
So, the snipers didn’t get Trump at Madison Square Garden. That’s good! Because in a little more than a week we’ll get to do the Election Day charade. Maybe they’ll let him win or maybe they won’t. I’m beginning to think they will let him win because they think they can make him the fall guy. It wouldn’t be so hard. The economy is in tatters. It’ll take months to even begin to clear the wreckage they’ve already made of things. But I’ll confess, I’m curious to see if Trump really has a plan to fix the economy and also fix the Deep State. And when I say “fix” the Deep State, I mean it in the same sense that you send your dog to be “fixed” by the vet.
After all, these people have been after him for more than eight years. Maybe he’s just crazy enough to come back at them with both guns blazing. Now that would be delicious. Taking away their prestigious and lucrative perches in the intelligence agencies and State Department would be a very good start to hitting back at them. My only hope is that this time he’s ready to appoint men who are loyal to him but also have the smarts needed to dismantle the government bureaus that need demolishing. I’m not sure he is ready to do this but I’d like to find out.
So, we’ve got another week or so to fantasize about what he could do if he wins. If he loses, he’s going to jail. They’ll take away his money and they’ll put him in prison for the rest of his life. And the rest of the world will see our country for what it is; just another thugocracy. But one where the thugs go to Harvard, or at least Yale. And that will be a “teachable moment” as that “fraud from Chicago” used to say. Anyone who grew up in the middle class will understand that the fairy tale they used to tell us about America is just that; a grifter’s tale that helps them fleece the rubes.
But what we are seeing is that America was special because we thought it was special. If we no longer believe in that exceptionalism then quite honestly it won’t be. People were willing to cooperate to build a better world for their children. But if they’ve revealed that they don’t even want us to have children then all bets are off. Instead of cooperation they’ll find competition. Competition to loot whatever is left of the patrimony that prior generations built up. We’ll be looking for our piece of the pie.
And don’t even imagine that these people will send their sons to fight in someone else’s wars. That’s just ridiculous. The trust fund kids told us back in 2001 that it wasn’t their job to fight George W. bush’s wars. Well, it’s time for us to return the favor. Send the Venezuelan gang-bangers to fight in Ukraine or wherever else you want to start a war. It won’t be our kids. We have better things for them to do.
So, let’s enjoy the ride. There seems to be a certain amount of angst in the Harris camp. Maybe someone told them what’s going to happen after the 5th of November. Now we’ll find out too.
