Among the powerful drivers of political behavior of the masses is uncertainty, first cousin to fear. Uncertainty shows its teeth in the regulated financial markets in which our society stores and gambles its wealth outside of unregulated real estate. Through the magic of 21st Century television and social media, Trump has transformed our society into a vulgar participatory reality show. My lonely voice has been admonishing people to break free from television, especially tv news and advertisements. The most efficient means to pulling that off is to first, turn off the televisions, second, go about your day without it, and three, repeat the next day. Try for one whole week and see how you feel and what you reach for get over media addictions. Substitute with meaningful opportunities to enjoy reading, listening, experiencing positive activities involving others. Just abandon television to feel better. Vote “NO” on cable television by canceling everything. These monstrosity entertainment/advertising conglomerates are unstable and unreliable means to pacify a large population with too much leisure time on its hands. Save your money for your future, instead.

They undoubtedly will milk this entirely unnecessary “crisis” of man-made insane behavior until the last possible moment, anyway. Today’s 4-hour nominee withdrew as soon as would be emperor Trump gave the thumbs down. Why? Because he would be acceptable to a significant number (all?) of Democrats. Pretty soon Kevin McCarthy is going to ride in to the rescue. Excuse me, but these clowns bring up nasty bile into my throat and mouth.
