How pathetic can we be?

in #writing6 years ago

I wish I knew what was more pathetic, the kid who EVERY news agency is apologizing to or the “U.S. intel agency stating that China and Russia is “Plotting to interfere” with the 2020 elections?

If this country had a fair electoral system, there would be no chance of an outside agent interfering with the election. Instead we have a system that was instituted by the wealthy so they could prepare to pay off the winner sooner. That’s right, the “Electoral College”. Now, I ask anyone out here who thinks it is fair that we, the citizenry, have absolutely NO Say in the outcome of the election for President? In 2016 the person who had the fewest popular votes won the electoral college vote. Does ANYONE think this next election will be ANY different?

John Bolton today was quoted as saying “It would be great if an American
Company could produce the Venezuelan Oil”. Oh, isn’t that “Lovely”? What does that tell you about what is going on in Venezuela? Does that tell you how badly the Venezuelan citizens want to have Guaidro as president? He is not known by more than 10% of the country and has never held office before he was installed as the head of the
Country’s congress. He is nothing but an American, CIA puppet and the first thing he wants to do is “privatize” the oil fields of his country so the U.S. can control them for Saudi Arabia. This situation is exactly like what we did to Manuel Noriega in Panama. The CIA has absolutely NO imagination and they are using the same playbook that was outdated 20 years ago.

How about this for a prediction? “In 2019, November (or so) there will be declared a “State of Emergency” and drumpf will postpone the election”. No, I did not read this somewhere. Watching how this spoiled little boy act is exactly what he will do since he has found a way to play the game EXACTLY his way. And 7% of the country likes this? While 82% thinks he is a disaster?

But then again this is the same electorate that continually puts the same Representatives and Senators back in office EVERY TIME.

When the “Founding Fathers” crafted the Constitution they NEVER foresaw congress making a career out of the office. They all had jobs they had to do, Farmers, Smithies, doctors among many other professions. When the first Representatives and Senators took office they did so WITHOUT pay. Congress was in session so the Congressmen could work their farms 9 months out of the year, hence the 3 months that congress is in session. In 1965 I believe that Representative made $15,000.00 and Senators made $20,000.00. Now they make $174,500.00 as a FRESHMAN congress member. They no longer have their own jobs, they never worry about their families health, they never worry about their crops they need to tend. WHAT THE FUCK GOOD ARE THEY? They do nothing!
