Happy Festivus to all those out there. Thank you for reading and subscribing.
And now the airing of grievances:
- How the fuck could this country re-elect Donald Trump? In 1992, then-Vice-President Dan Quayle misspelled “potato” by telling a kid to put an “e” on the end and that was considered the defining moment this guy shouldn’t be one heart-beat away from the White House. Now, we got a man who rants and raves like everyone crazy uncle after drinking too many Old Milwaukee beers at the Christmas dinner. And what a surprise?! He’s not going to be able to end the Ukraine war so easily. Or shall I say, it’s Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As for grocery and gas prices, the President has absolutely nothing to do with those directly, but Vice-President Kamala Harris had a plan to lower them as much as her administration could. Trump’s administration hasn’t even been approved by Congress and already people are ready to tell him, “Take this job and shove it!” If it’s not Vladimir Putin’s dick he’s sucking on, he apparently licked Elon Musk’s taint just to try it and now that South African son-of-a-bitch thinks he’s the de-facto President because he wants more money.
- Boomers, grow the fuck up! Seriously, how more inept can these people be? You want to mock people for not knowing how to use a rotary phone which haven’t been used since before they were born and angry that they can’t drive stick-shift cars even though less are manufactured now. But you all can’t use a simple bank debit card at the checkout register. Also, quit talking too loud in public places. No one wants to hear your conversations. You don’t have to comment on every thing. I have a suspicion that once you get around 55-60, you must talk at all times or else you will explode like the bus in Speed. Not everything on the menu at the restaurant needs your critique. Just order what you usually do and let the waiter you’re going to stiff on a tip put in your order so they can make it to another table this century. You say people can’t write or read in cursive but there’s no way even if you were younger you could work in the foot service or retail business for what they pay younger people nowadays. You used the $10 you got from cutting grass on the weekend and your own navel lint to buy a Trans Am but think the cashiers at Aldi’s shouldn’t be allowed to sit down.
- Quit trying to keep capitalism alive. The basis of a capitalist country is built on the exploitation of labor. Stop getting mad at people for cheering and rooting for Luigi Mangione. Brian Thompson, the murdered CEO of UnitedHealthcare was arrested for a DUI and was secretly separated from his wife. If he was a black man, the conservative Christians on the right would be cheering for Luigi the same way they made a hero out of Kyle Rittenhouse and George Zimmerman. Alice Walton struck and killed a pedestrian while driving and has been cited for DUI. But Rodney King deserved to be beaten by four LAPD officers because he was speeding. People can’t even afford to shop at Wal-Mart and eat at McDonald’s anymore. Our healthcare industry exists to make money. Corporate America has one goal and one goal only – take as much money as you can by any means necessary and fuck all to the rest. The Cold War ended over 30 years ago officially, but unofficially Putin has kept it going as well as all those defense contractors. People should be able to work and make a good living, not enough to be survive. Not everyone wants to be a millionaire. A lot of people just want to work, make money, be part of a family, and have stuff to do for leisure instead of coming home to tired to do anything.
- Hollywood movies are getting out of hand. Everything is either made to be a blockbuster, a sequel to a blockbuster or a remake. Or it’s based on some video game or some comic. We got the awful Borderlands, Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter. It was like the 2000s all over again where high-profile movies came out and flopped tremendously. Except this time, these movies sat on the shelf and were reshot and re-edited for at least a year. I’m not saying ‘Salem’s Lot would’ve made much money but it might have made better sense if Warner Bros. Discovery released the longer version. Juror #2 may just be Clint Eastwood’s last movie as he’s 94 and might retire especially following the sudden death of his partner, Christina Sanders, earlier this year. Yet, the studio he’s has a good working relations since before David Zaslav got hair on his schmeckle decided to give the director’s latest a ho-hum opening because legal thrillers aren’t big moneymakers. At least Universal showed Alfred Hitchcock more respect than he deserved for his last movie, Family Plot. But thankfully, Sony saw the writing on the wall and decided the SSU (Sony Spider-Man Universe) is now SOL after being in the ICU for some time so they’re going to honor the DNR as it’s now officially DOA with the COD being a poor BO return.
- And I’m pretty upset with people in general. Seriously, how the fuck could you elect Trump again? Something doesn’t add up that all seven key battleground states went red especially in states where Democrats picked up big wins in other elections, such as North Carolina. Speaking of which, how could people look at what happened in the Asheville area and surrounding communities and think, “Well, Trump will fix it!” With what, fucking paper towels! A scumbag like Nick Fuentes says Trump’s win is a carte blanche to sexually assault all women. Yes, he got arrested and canceled online, but do you think he expects to be punished anyway. Look at what happened to Trump. He was found guilty and he’s still not going to serve any time as the other criminal cases have gone away. Maybe it hasn’t set in yet because I’m on my antidepressants or maybe it’s because I saw this all before. But it’s going to suck. And it appears, I’ll be in my 50s before things get better. Hopefully, I’ll have some time to enjoy it when all the people standing in the way are gone.
That’s all. Have a Fantastic Festivus, a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah and a Kicking Kwanzaa!
