Social Schadenfreude
Watching the big
Get way too big
For their britches
Unveiling threats
In not so veiled
Dark disguises
Pony up ‘publicans
‘Cause it is time to pay
The pied piper
The Demo – rats
Are outta the picture
But now you
Has gotsa pay

At the price of
Your children
Or let’s say your morals
If put another way
For it seems that Donnie
Has a new henchmen
With his side consigliere
An irregular Roy Cohn
Or Luca Brasi, if you will
“Elon and Vivek talked about having a naughty list and a nice list for members of Congress and senators and how we vote and how we’re spending the American people’s money,” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga. (She says so proudly… until they come for her.)
Trump’s second term comes with the specter of the world’s richest man serving as his political enforcer *. Within Trump’s team, there is a feeling that Musk not only supports Trump’s agenda and Cabinet appointments, but is intent on seeing them through to the point of pressuring Republicans who may be less devout.”

Just for balance, I found the same article in Newsmax with AP given credit. Maybe, maybe there is only a few or one news source that disseminates the public’s propaganda for power.

“People have asked, uhm, and wonder how it could come to pass that business in this country could get completely out of control, and it’s pretty understandable now.
Everybody knows what the truth of the situation is now. Because it’s obvious and the is the fact is that business and government have been in bed together our whole lives.
The difference is that they used to keep it hidden. They used to be #ucking each other, but we didn’t know about it.

Now they do it right in front of us. They have no guilt whatsoever. They are just like two big dogs that are stuck together and can’t separate. Even a glass of water won’t stop them.
They are out of control, but that is just the way it is. I don’t care if you are Democrat or Republican. Okay, doesn’t matter. Both parties are up to their neck in this.”
– Lewis Black
“I have this feeling, man, ’cause you know, it’s just a handful of people who run everything, you know … that’s true, it’s provable. It’s not … I’m not a fucking conspiracy nut, it’s provable.
A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media.”
– Bill Hicks
Meanwhile, the stringless meat puppets, follow along, via dopey daily distractions, like a consciousness kayfabe that keeps the collective calm. Pointing their fingers at the entertainment unbeknownst to them that it is themselves in the mirror, they are amused by.
“It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that.
I’m talking about the real owners now.
The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.
Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant.
The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice.
You don’t.
You have no choice.
You have owners.
They own you.
They own everything.
They own all the important land.
They own, and control the corporations.
They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.
They’ve got you by the balls.”

Nice combination of thoughts!! So much to think about. Incredible how many different ways we get dissected into the fickle whims of meaninglessness.
Each time you bring us back into what matters.

What a great line. Incredible how many different ways we get dissected into the fickle whims of meaninglessness.
It is weird how so many people want their “freedom,” while being so happy, some get to control others. Obviously, so much through purse, if not meat puppet strings.

Btw, I heard a congresswoman today complain to a reporter that the only reason they (the dems) lost was because the majority of people aren’t tuning in to mainstream media anymore.
Do you think she realized that she said that out loud and on air? Did she realize that she admitted/confessed that the MSM was their propaganda tool? Hence, why so many people are not tuning in anymore?
And isn’t she supposed to be fighting for Americans and the world “winning” regardless of party?
As long as we get to keep being nice to each other, I think we’ll all be okay.
Thanks for all you do.

“The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”
H.L. Mencken, Minority Report
Technically, it could be considered that both sides won because the politicians get to act like they are “doing” something when nothing is getting done. Taking lobbyists money to do corporate biddings.
When, instead they could actually create an evolutionary, if not revolutionary, education system of how to think instead of what to think.
Question why they are being distracted by things geared towards consumption. Instead of balance and sanity.
Dismantle the military industrial complex, use that money for mental health care, transportation infrastructure updates, and housing.
Unfortunately, that would undermine our whole selfish system of government and corporate control.
Thanks for reading and responding.
