Hey, Imaginary Percentages, cool!

For a second or three there, I read that as:

When I was a kid,
a priest told me about Mars

And what did the working class do this election?
They gave the keys to the kingdom to the con men, and that includes the twitter and amazon assholes.
That’ll fix things! That’ll show 'em!

I can’t deny that my heart sank when I saw that picture of AOC glaring at Manchin smiling smugly in the podium, right after the asshole blocked a bill that would have supported working class citizens.

I also can’t deny that in such an environment, change for the better can only be incremental, but that’s only when people vote, which includes at the very least midterms and presidentials, and which at best includes primaries, off-year and special elections.

But once you get that change that you wanted - or the one you didn’t want - it’ll take decades of elections to change it back.

The people have shown that republicans can do things like block SCOTUS candidates for months deliberately, or repeal Roe vs Wade, or lead insurrections, or sell out your allies to the kremlin, with NO FUCKING REPERCUSSIONS.

You think they’re gonna stop anytime soon now that they’ve tasted blood and it tastes sweet to their palate?

Because if it wasn’t Gaza, it would have been another excuse to not lift a lazy goddamned finger and still delude themselves into feeling "morally superior"while sitting on their fat mediocre asses at home.

Before Harris, they also leaned heavily on the “Sleepy Joe” bullshit and “two old white men up for election, who cares”. Once the old “Sleepy Joe” element was removed from the equation, they had to find a way to keep their goddamned stubbornly lazy and ignorant narrative intact.

Now that the election is over, most of these “concerned and outraged” deadweight assholes will never think about Gaza and the plight of its’ people again. And they will keep on feeling smug about themselves.

For a moment there, I thought the younger people of America had in them the capacity to do the obvious righteous thing, and to banish the demons once and for all.
The younger people of America have shown what they are made of, and never again will I overestimate them.

Because… Palestine? Or buttery males? Or because they will grab onto any excuse to sit on their lazy asses instead of voting, and that impulse to do nothing intensifies with a female presidential candidate?

Yes, it is retarded. Almost to the goddamned Middle Ages in some respects. And its’ younger generations are just as stunted and stupid as the boomers they howl against. The deaf and blind screaming at the deaf and blind.

I’m sure that fascism over here, will fix Palestine over there!

I’m also sure that if it wasn’t because of Palestine or buttery males or whatever else, the non-voters would have found another excuse to not vote… for a… (gasp)… woman presidential candidate!

They’ve done it before and they’ll fucking do it again.
All these young new potential voters! A fresh wave of idiot!

Because so many people in the United States have elected to stab themselves - and EVERYONE else along with them - with a rusty knife, out of ignorant rage and lazy ignorance.

Didn’t The French Connection also begin with cops in disguise, too?
I seem to remember it, but it also feels like my memory could be playing tricks on me.

The Oakland sports situation has been a circus since the 80s, I remember a guy back then with a t-shirt that said:

Oakland
Los Angeles
El Segundo

You guys deserve so much better.

Done and spoken like a true patriot.

Doesn’t matter, do NOT let your guard down for even an instant until after you have gone and voted Democrat, the only effective vote in the current volatile and dangerous environment.

Meanwhile, the lazy mediocre deadweights of democracy:

Impervious to fact, to reason, to empathy. Enamored of the scent of their own flatulences. Which just happen to be the exact same scent as those from republican, kremlin and chinese troll farms. What a coincidence, eh?

Then the sun develops a fungal infection, and don’t scratch that itchy rash, it’ll only make it worse.

Knee deep in the hoopla
Smoking from a hookah

It’s like baseball, for cars!

It’s almost like some people aren’t there to watch the movie at all?
What could they possibly do? What could teenagers do that they couldn’t do at home with mom and dad and little pest of a brother/sister?

If that’s the general flavor we’re looking for, I’d also vote to add Jean Pierre Melville’s 1967 film Le Samouraï with Alain Delon.

The 1973 film with Edward Fox and Michael Lonsdale - about an assassination attempt on Charles de Gaulle - is a complex masterpiece of clinical and steady suspense crescendo, one of the very few films my father ever recommended to me, along with the 1954 French thriller The Wages Of Fear, and I’ll be damned if the old man wasn’t spot on, with impeccable taste.
