  • Perhaps the political posturing and theatrics are what’s needed to disappear from politics. But then again, it’s their bread and butter.

    I sort of hold hope that this meeting will be enough to mobilize those with the power to do something, but I also know it depends heavily on interests.

    Regardless of the end result, the pointless loss of life will continue to the selfishness of a few.


  • You’re seeing the US through a colored lens. It started losing its stride a couple of presidencies before Trump. Had the opportunity to make a comeback in several ways, yet shat on each and every one.

    Trump’s just the biggest visible zit on the US. Every other zit pushing him into prominence were something no one tried to clean before they got infected with pus. It’s all ugly and something that’s been brewing for a long time.

    This ain’t no one man show. The “treason” is just an inner conflict that was left untreated for a long, long time. The US needs to start healing itself, pronto.


  • Yup. Politics are ugly. Always have been, hopefully won’t always be as well. We generally don’t see the ugliness, but right now it’s fully exposed. The recoil from seeing it happen might be hard to swallow, but that doesn’t make it any worse than it usually is when hidden. But we can also see the strength of having to go through that and still walk away.

    Now I’m hoping the next period of time won’t prove me wrong and this moment will be an important impetus for change towards the better.

    If I am proven wrong though, I’ll join your pessimism.


  • You’re being too pessimistic. Alliances have always been about being strange bedfellows that’ll stab each other in the back should the proper conditions ever be met.

    No matter how kissy-kissy politicians may be in front of a camera, backroom dealing is still the norm. Only the orange guy mistook the backroom with a toilet and so it stinks of shit for everyone to see.

    Whatever the end result of this, whoever’s left afterwards will get back to tender intimacies without a hitch.
