Jill Stein?  Let Me Think About It

     I was eating Cheetos last night while listening to a Louis CK comedy concert from 2013.  My beverage was water, so it wasn't an entirely unhealthy ingestion experience.  I walked around my office, listening to Louis and laughing often.  My moves back to the Cheetos decreased to a tighter orbit as the minutes passed.  There is something in those unnaturally colored orange things that brings them into my mouth, making me a reactive beast.
     Invented in 1948, Cheetos may be the result of alien technology recovered from the "Roswell Crash" of a UFO the previous year.  Re-engineered snack food from Tau Scorpii.  I've wondered lately about weird unnatural colors, like the lime green hue of Mountain Dew, invented originally in 1940, but re-invented in 1958, eleven years after the saucer crash that created the C.I.A., Defense Department, Air Force, and The X Files.
     Acquaintances and friends of mine who've been and are Mountain Dew drinkers all seem to have a need for it.  It looks like something leaked from an engine block, but that doesn't give its adherents pause.  Like chemically orange Cheetos, toxic waste green Mountain Dew pulls the minds of its addicts into its bubbling pool of unwholesomeness.  Some of the aliens on The X Files have green fizzing blood that, when exposed to air, gives off fumes poisonous and fatal to humans.
     I'm reminded of how public perceptions and misconceptions about radiation, knowledge derived from the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, led to the idea of radiation making people "glow."  In fact, there is no glowing when a person is exposed to a large or small dose of radiation.  There is cellular mutation.  Cancer can result.  Living in the vicinity of nuclear weapons experiments, as did Native Americans in New Mexico when the first atom bomb was tested on July 16, 1945, proved to be an effective way of making innocent people suffer long term with brain tumors and other cancers, while also ignoring their government-caused plight in later decades.
     Nuclear bomb testing, practiced by the Soviet Union, the United States, China, and even today by the giggling little dumpling Kim Jong-Un, polluted and still pollutes the world.  I read somewhere that everyone has plutonium in their bodies from atmospheric nuke tests.  Is there more cancer than there was in the fourteenth century?  I don't know, but when J. Robert Oppenheimer famously said, on viewing the first atom bomb test, quoting the Bhagavad Gita, "Now I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds," he may as well have said, "Now I'm continuing the U.S. government's long project to wipe out Indians, using a new weapon."
     I'm shifting gears to Donald Trump's "pivot" to a new immigration promise that also touches on his tactic to try to convince African Americans to vote for him.  The change in his campaign, wherein Paul Manafort left to go suck some dictator's cock, involves Kellyanne Conway as campaign manager and Steve Bannon as campaign "CEO."  If Trump were to add a KKK advisor, he could name him the Trump Campaign's Exalted Cyclops.
     In any case, Trump now says he wants to build a wall, yes, but he's flip-flopped on the deportation plan of rounding up and ejecting eleven million undocumented immigrants.  That plan was how he started his campaign last year; it's what first attracted his racist followers.  I can imagine what some of them are saying (I admit I don't actually know any Trump supporters, who at least have been willing to admit they support him; and, interestingly, I haven't seen any Trump yard signs):
     "He can't be serious," the Trump supporter grates.  "This must be a ploy to woo moderates."
     It does seem to be a ploy to woo Latinos, just as his appeals at rallies lately to African Americans have represented a shift towards recognizing the existence of a large minority voting bloc.  His rhetoric, though, is so offensive (true to his character), that he sounds like he's trying to do Black voters a favor:
     "What in the hell have you got to lose?"  He's cited high unemployment in the African American community, "lousy" neighborhoods, high incidences of crime, the targeting of Black youth by the police, lack of educational advancement; he's basically said, "Your lives suck, you're at the bottom of society in this shithole country, how could you do worse?  Vote for me!  Throw the dice!  You have nothing to lose.  You have nothing!"
     African American Dr. Ben Carson, a Trump supporter and former presidential candidate, couldn't possibly feel included in this racism from the orange-skinned man because he, one of those who periodically goes on cable news to explain Trump's slander, threats, and lies, has lots of money, a nice house, and doesn't give a shit about Black people; if he did, he wouldn't be a fucking Republican.
     Watching Trump "become serious," reading speeches from teleprompters, not going "off script" for a few days at a time, supposedly makes him "presidential," at least in the eyes of some.
     In Wisconsin, ACT testing (one of the ways high school kids show their knowledge to the people at colleges who select students to attend) has dropped in quality in the last year.  Wisconsin's now ranked twenty-ninth in the country.  This may seem inconsequential, but Governor Scott Walker's priorities are not with education.  Wisconsin's kids are getting dumber, or rather, they're being exposed less and less to quality information by teachers paid less and less and appreciated in the same way that Donald Trump appreciates Black voters.
     On the other side, Hillary Clinton has campaign ads that air regularly, but they're all about how much Trump sucks.  I know he does, I've known it for many years.  What's great about you, Hillary Clinton?  Her involvement with the Clinton Global Initiative, as shown in more released e-mails from her time as Secretary of State, show likely influence peddling.  The Sultan of Bahrain, for instance, made a large donation to CGI, and got himself a short meeting with Mrs. Clinton.  Soon after, Bahrain received a large boost in military hardware from the United States.  Coincidence?  Maybe so.  Clinton's surrogates make it out that there's nothing to this kind of thing.  It's like politicians and lobbyists.  The pond got corrupted a long time ago, Washington, D.C. was built on a swamp, Trump is far more corrupt than Hillary Clinton, Mountain Dew brings in lots of money and people love it, John Boehner, like Trump, is also the color of Cheetos, what's the big deal, Vic Neptune?
     Bahrain, with Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations and the U.S., has been bombing Yemen.  The Clintons' organization saves lives, and helps take them.  That's a big deal.
