Absurd America — Republicans inextricably tie themselves to an empty-headed sluggard — and Democrats lick the shoes of a guy whose cognitive ability is strained by just having to read the teleprompter

Do you ever wake up . . .

 

. . . knowing that all is irretrievably lost?

 

 

If this weren't my country, I'd be laughing

 

First, the news — and then assessing what the news means:

 

 

Over 100 former Republican officials will sign a letter on Thursday declaring that if the Republican Party does not break with former President Donald Trump and change course, they will back the creation of a third party.

 

The letter, headlined: "A Call For American Renewal," is an exploratory move toward forming a breakaway party, two of its organizers said. The group is dismayed by what it says is a modern Republican Party driven by its allegiance to Trump, who continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from him.

 

"The Republican Party is broken. It's time for a resistance of the 'rationals' against the 'radicals,'" said Miles Taylor, one of the organizers. Taylor, while serving in the Trump White House, wrote an anonymous opinion piece in the New York Times in 2018 headlined: "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."

Given how easily anti-Trump Republican, Liz Cheney, is being erased from the House, these letter-writing folks are mounting an ineffectual resistance to the Toddling Donny's parade into Time's not-too-far-away, deadly embrace.

 

Trump is, after all, in his mid-70s.

 

Why any political party would select to life-support — and then ride — a septuagenarian into the indeterminable political future is beyond me. Brain-deadness of that kind reeks of nihilism, more than anything else.

 

After four years of witnessing that they had a foul-mouthed, non-achieving, debts-not-paying, go-nowhere, self-described pussy-grabbing, shameless sluggard in the Presidency — the United States' Republican Party infrastructure is still clinging to his Mammon Incarnate caricature. Evidently because that Party of bloated leeches is too brain-dead to come up with anything better or younger.

 

 

Then, there are the Democrats

 

That pile of also rabidly brain-dribbling dopes is lauding an equally elderly man — who, too frequently, can barely read and comprehend the Presidential teleprompter.

 

See, for instance:

And — fully representatively — under Dementia Joe's caring watch, the CIA is turning itself into an employment opportunity for a wide variety of exclusively identity-concerned folk.

 

Folk who — evidently unanimously — praise lying torturer and coup-attempting [then] "Director John Brennan, who was wearing a LGBT rainbow ribbon on the lanyard supporting his badge."

 

Such a low level of societal and national security insight, I suppose, shows the depth of these purportedly self-involved people's commitment to American 'intelligence'.

The moral? — This is the United States . . .

 

. . . which, for all practical purposes, has handed itself over to Tottering Stupidity's care.

 

A flock of tree-clinging lemurs could do better. Twisted metaphor intended.
