I haven't written in this blog for a short while, but I've written in the other blog: Screen Screed: Thoughts on Movies From a Lifelong Eater of Cinema. Check it out. The same writer wrote it, so if you like this political/current events blog it makes sense that you'll like the movie blog.
This morning before going to work I endured, out of curiosity, twenty minutes of Joy Reid's softball interview on MSNBC with Hillary Clinton. Turns out that Clinton is convinced she lost, teleologically speaking, because of the James Comey letter. I guess American voters didn't find her repulsive--they weren't sick of her after a quarter of a century.
It's interesting that even after the Access Hollywood audio recording from 2005 was released in early October 2016, Hillary Clinton still couldn't beat a man who bragged about his aggressive creepy prowess with unwilling women. The man who said of one of his alleged conquests, "I moved on her like a bitch!"
Joy Reid pointed out that Clinton was harassed in social media, called the "C Word," the "B Word." Cunt, bitch, were the two words Reid was referring to. Harassment on social media is a common thing for people in show business, on YouTube, in politics. What getting harassed in that manner has to do with not bothering to campaign in Wisconsin (a delicate victory for Trump that seriously helped him win the election) is anybody's guess. Only a shitty candidate with boneheaded advisors would ignore a vital state like Wisconsin and instead concentrate on trying to win over Republican voters dissatisfied with Trump, a strategy confirmed after the election by Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer.
Clinton, stuck on this failed method, spoke hopefully of the Democrats' need to win over Republican congressmen and -women and Republican senators who might be persuadable in the health care issue, which burns brightly again as yet another attempt is made by the GOP to deprive over twenty million people of health care. She offered her view of Bernie Sanders' recent announcement of going for Medicare for all, a measure that, if it ever passes, will bring the United States into the First World.
"We shouldn't be concentrating on anything but defeating this latest attempt by the Republicans to repeal and replace Obamacare," said Clinton. Sanders and his politician supporters on this measure (including many who regard themselves as 2020 presidential candidates and probably don't want to seem like the shits they really are when it comes to this vital issue) can surely make a commitment to Medicare for all while also condemning and fighting the sociopathic Republicans who want to viciously destroy the lives of millions of Americans, something they apparently have in common with Kim Jong-un.
The truth is, Hillary Clinton is against Medicare for all, i.e. Single Payer. I won't call her a cunt or a bitch, but she is a wealthy out of touch piece of shit, schlepping her new book full of excuses as to why she lost while Bernie Sanders (who, unlike her, is popular) tries to help the poor and beaten down people of this country. This is the same Bernie Sanders who, during the campaign season last year, said proudly that he doesn't count Henry Kissinger among his friends. Hillary and the war criminal Kissinger are friends.
Hillary Clinton, like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, do not represent the interests of the younger generations whose voting habits will favor people more like Sanders and other Progressives. The old guard of Baby Boomers running things in this country is "cracking at the seams," as it's put in King Crimson's song, "Epitaph."
Trump's braying voice, meanwhile, reveals his sick fuck brutality every day. He declared at the United Nations that if the U.S. or its allies are threatened by North Korea, "we will totally destroy North Korea." By displaying a willingness to murder 25 million people, he revealed that surpassing Adolf Hitler's killing record may be one of his goals in life.
From the macro to the micro, Trump has gone after Black athletes, attacking in Twitter Stephen Curry, the champion basketball player (and one of the most popular athletes in the country) after Curry said he had no intention of visiting the White House for the traditional NBA champion team meet and greet with the President. Lebron James, NBA mega-superstar of these times, backed up Curry, calling the President a "bum."
Trump has also made football his target, taking on Colin Kaepernick, formerly of the San Francisco 49ers, the quarterback who kneeled during the National Anthem to protest the institutionalized mistreatment of people of color in America. It's his First Amendment right to do so, but Trump at a rally two nights ago jabbed his stubby finger at the air, called Kaepernick a "son of a bitch," and opined to the jackals in his audience what a great thing it would be if the NFL owners (thirty-one of whom are White multi-millionaires or billionaires out of thirty-two) were to fire anyone who refuses "to honor our flag and National Anthem."
Trump proves his patriotic spirit (the thing that shows love of country) by backing a bill that would deprive many millions of people of health care, making it unaffordable, making many thousands (at least) die.
Jemele Hill of ESPN tweeted that Trump is a white supremacist. The White House demanded an apology from ESPN. That corporate body replied they were handling the matter in-house. Even Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the soulless Trump worshipper and Press Secretary, said that what Hill wrote was "horrible" and that she should be fired. I thought that Republicans are against government interference in the business of corporations?
A little story came out about Trump's Administration, finding that it's the most male-dominated Administration in recent history, with four-fifths of the positions held by men. Trump is not sexist, though. We know this because on the Access Hollywood recording Trump says that when you're famous, you can "do whatever you want [to women]...Grab em by the pussy."
That's the gross puddle of America's bad karma that Hillary Clinton lost the election to.
