In the seventeen months since Chicken Little’s greatest fears became manifest, the United States of America has backslid, losing 150 years of credibility as a beacon of hope and freedom and opportunity by shaking its bloated, militaristic stick, thumbing its nose at global problems that the rest of the world has banded together to address and ignored the growth of the darkest, most intolerant festering tumors metastasized on the collective human spirit.

The chaotically-picked, demolition derby Cabinet has been tasked with dismantling environmental protection, access to education, legal immigration, free trade, honest diplomacy, consumer protection and the rule of law. Mission accomplished!

Our present Supreme Court has become an evangelical rubber stamp, mistaking bible verse for juris prudence and the concerns of powerful special interests have consistently swayed this panel to plunder Constitutional integrity.  The soon to be full-on-Trump-Court, (which will no doubt dub him Emperor), will reverse every positive advancement made by our flawed, yet great society.  We are all toast!  We have waited too long.  Mueller may as well go on vacation, because nothing in his findings, however corrupt or colluded, will mean a thing.  The midterms…meaningless.  We have been scammed by a world-class scammer in cahoots with other world-class scammers and we, (in particular any ‘wes’ who still think he’s your guy), just let it happen.

Oh, and that economy thing…please stop talking about how good it is.  It’s not good unless you’re running some giant bank, selling high-premium/low-benefit insurance or addictive, suicide-inducing pharmaceuticals or CEOing a muti-layered monopolistic retail/frozen food/media company. Unemployment?  It might as well be zero since full employment is not so hard to accomplish if a living wage is not a factor.  And all of this in the open, no smoke, no mirrors, just, “bullshit, bullshit, bullshit…believe me!”
