Yesterday was supposed to be the day when the elites were going to get what they deserved--So said the influencers. Here's an incomplete list of some of the themes I kept on seeing:
Someone has to explain this to me, because I'm having a hard time making heads or tails here. They called a bunch of right wing online figures to receive a binder--Yes, a binder. They were to grab this binder and pose right outside the government building, smile and pretend like they held in their hand the ultimate weapon against the establishment pedos.
Other smaller right wing accounts began complaining as they observed the stunt, wondering who came up with such a stupid plan.
The writing was already on the wall, the moment this picture became public. I, like many others, did the only reasonable thing left to do and laughed.
But wait, there's more.
The House Judiciary GOP attempting to "lighten up" the mood, and satiate the anger of it's otherwise devoted supporters, decided it would be a great idea to troll everyone with a classic.
As you can imagine the backlash was epic, so much so, as of this morning they've deleted the tweet and I can almost guarantee an apology will follow.
There was a man, a wise man, who even though he was usually referred to as a comedian, probably never lied to us one bit. So, let's remember what it was that he said to us mortals, all those years ago.
This has to be my favorite rant of all time.
"But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna 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 real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. 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 got you by the balls!
They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying—lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests. That’s right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin’ years ago. They don’t want that.
You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers—people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your fuckin’ retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, ‘cause they own this fuckin’ place. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club.
By the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long, beating you over the head in their media, telling you what to believe, what to think, and what to buy. The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good, honest, hardworking people—white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on—good, honest, hardworking people continue—these are people of modest means—continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you—at all, at all, at all!
And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on: the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white, and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes every day. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

That is all folks...
