Ugh.<\/p>\n
FUCK.<\/p>\n
Are we actually doing this shit again? I mean, going through all those damn 90’s Bill Clinton scandals? Are we REALLY doing this again?<\/p>\n
I remember hating all of that 20 years ago. I hated the fact that that crap was “news” while the things that mattered weren’t. Even in junior high, I found all of that nonsense embarrassing as hell for all involved.<\/p>\n
Shame… shame on all of them. Clinton (both of them), Trump, the media, and everyone else. <\/p>\n
For shame!<\/p>\n
Fuckers.<\/p>\n
In the pop culture realm, that kind of stuff is acceptable and expected, because that’s where it belongs. <\/p>\n
That stuff does NOT belong in the news. And certainly not during a damn 8 year and counting recession. Not NOW, you idiots!<\/p>\n
I’m getting really fucking tired of all of this. I want it over. Elections in this country last too damn long. It’s ridiculous, and the two years of solid pandering and attention whoring each presidential election apparently requires makes all involved look like clowns and simpletons.<\/p>\n
You know, back the 80’s, perhaps two years of this crap was justified. That was before the internet, so people needed more time to find out each candidate’s positions and such. Maybe it was more appropriate, then.<\/p>\n
But now, it’s just a painful, irritating, never-ending slog, because you can’t get away<\/i> from it. It’s all over TV, all over the news- both online and off, all over social media, all over peoples’ conversations, etc., and it’s so damn annoying I want to pull my fucking hair out. <\/p>\n
SHIT, people. <\/p>\n
God damn!<\/p>\n
Well, there. It’s out.<\/p>\n
Well, not entirely. To continue with the rant, all of this “news” really underscores two things, in my mind:<\/p>\n
1) Baby boomers are really, really immature. Seriously, guys. Both candidates are what, in their 70’s? And they’re both plainly less mature than the average high schooler. <\/p>\n
Boomers tend to chide millennials for lack of maturity, which I find to be one of society’s most ironic stances, since they themselves clearly lack what they accuse others of not having. <\/p>\n
The big baby boomer political clown show didn’t start here, of course. It began with Clinton I, and has continued, unabated, until today, with it’s only variance the fact that it seems to be getting worse now on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
Boomers, here’s the reality: nobody but you cares, one way or another, about any of the 80’s era “scandals” that the two candidates are talking about right now. Nobody cares, and nobody should<\/i> care, because none of this crap actually matters. Just. Shut. UP.<\/p>\n
2) Both candidates are isolated, off in their own little bubble, far, far away from everyone else. <\/p>\n
There’s the baby boomer bubble, and then there’s the political bubble. And then there’s the “baby boomer political bubble”, which seems to be a universe unto itself.<\/p>\n
What once worked no longer does. The federal debt, for example, is a big deal, and it is not easily hidden anymore. Back in 1982, it was. But now, it’s a google search away. So, it’s a deal, it’s on people’s minds, and it’s something that MUST be addressed in some way if the candidates want legitimacy. Why is the fact that Obama doubled the federal debt not a topic that is being discussed? Where is the plan, from either candidate, to undue this? The Reagan years are over, people. Things need to change.<\/p>\n
I don’t want to just repeat my old posts, though. I know that I’ve already laid all of that out, ad nauseam. But, nothing ever changes, so I don’t either. <\/p>\n
Ugh.<\/p>\n
I just want it over, already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
