Be that as it may, Rahm can’t be too upset about the abrogation of justice–these are his people after all–but I suspect he is astute enough to realize that this particular miscarriage of justice, right now, with klieg lights on it, right after Trump was vindicated and Creepy Porn Lawyer (thanks as always Tucker) was arrested, is really bad optics. Bad optics is bad politics.
So it’s not an excessive reach to think it is POSSIBLE that this, too, helps Trump. Justice was obviously subverted. Smollett obviously used privilege to avoid punishment. He obviously benefited from a two tiered justice system. Place all this into a bag, shake it around with Trump’s acquittal and all we know about Hillary, and it’s not hard to pull out a profound loss of faith in our system of justice, going all the way to the top, to the top of the Justice Department, to the head of the FBI, and to, in the case of Obama, the President himself.
In 2016, so many people were thinking “this is not possible”, and “America does not work like that”. Well, guess what? It fucking DOES work like that. We KNOW that. Trump has thrown flares up in the dark so we can see all the traitors sowing their lies everywhere. It’s an open secret. It’s something everyone with the eyes to see should be able to see.
If you are not paranoid, you are stupid. You can quote me on that, at least with respect to this topic. I was recalling in a discussion with a guy today how I literally wanted to leave America if Hillary won. He was telling me about how the Army now docks soldiers pay when they fuck up, rather than run them into the ground, or kick them, literally, in the ass. It’s hard for me to have faith in the future, when the Army cannot figure out how to get its recruits to show up to things on time. Rather, if I might speak more precisely, when the people who know EXACTLY how to get soldiers to show up on time are prohibited from using time honored and highly effective methods.
I still wonder where I would go. I fantasize about Central Asia for some reason. I would have to convert to Islam, probably, but this would not be such a burden as long as I could reference people like Hafiz and Saadi and Rumi. They kill Sufis in some places, but perhaps not in others. Anyway, perhaps that will not be needed. And whatever I decide, my body will lie lifeless somewhere eventually. I’ve got that going for me.
What I don’t want to do is be surrounded the rest of my life by SJW’s, parading crap feelings, crap ideas, and an utter and complete lack of soul, courage, or life force. I’ll take “savages” over that. But that decision is not yet needed. But it may yet be.
It’s definitely not too late for this whole experiment in government of the people, by the people, for the people, to hit the shit heap of history, because far too many of us are far too fucking stupid.
Dear reader: don’t be a fucking complacent douchebag. Think your own thoughts, and feel your own feelings. I have a spot of gin in me, but not enough to do anything but encourage me to express what is on my mind.
