It was just a moment of annoyance with Buttslinger's indifference to the distinction between England, the UK and even Great Britain, as well as his flippant indifference to the most brazen crook and liar to occupy the White House. But the dog thrives on beig rude and offensive, as was the case with both his atttacks on 'the Squad' and Elijah Cummings, because it diverts attention away fom the creeping erosion of the economy under his watch and his own indifference to the hate and outrage that trails in the wake of his barking, which is itself the equivalent of him pissing in the mouths and shitting in the face of every American, every day, just to prove he can do it with impunity.Quote:

And which segment of American society is most vulnerable to the attack on Planned Parenthood? Yep, you guessed it. But the Confederacy is not about to re-introduce slavery, it would cost too much and is inefficient, so maybe they should take their current loathing the logical step forward and expel Black people from their country and 'send them back', if not to the US, to Africa. The dog's supporters would love it, and who cares if the economy tanks? This is identity politics with a vegeance, and vengeance is all it would be if it did not so undermine the idea of a democratic vote that it might make more sense not to bother in Alabama, just appoint the legislators by decree, a medieval formula for their medieval world of child marriage, where raped women who become pregnant become the accused rather than the victim, in whose womb a throbbing membrane has more legal rights than a citizen.
The point about jobs is that it cuts to issues such as immigration and welfare -why not cut all immigration to zero, and end all forms of welfare? Either Charles Murray or one of his supporters had a simple solution to 'welfare dependency' -'take away their welfare, and those people will get jobs'. Channel 4 News in the UK earlier this year reported from Indiana where there is a thriving trade in mobile home manufacture, to the extent that one employer welcomed increases in immigration to keep his business going. It begs the question, should they prefer a Black 20-year old from Baltimore or a 20-year old from Honduras, but would the Black guy move from Baltimore to Indiana, and would he be welcome there? I wonder if there is a sterilty in the mobility of labour in a country where it was its flexibiity that enabed it to survive depressions and recessions? Maybe Indiana should be forced to give jobs to unemployed Black youth from Baltimore and DC? But none of this addresses the future of work, it is just sticking a bandage on a festering wound.
And for all the chatter about jobs, where is the debate on work and income as it changes oover the next 25 years? When jobs and the economy become headlines to bark about, where is the debate on the dignity of work, and the dignity of its fair reward? The US is mired in staggering levels of household debt, the national debt is being added to by over $1 trillion every year, that potent symbol of individual power, the motor car, is entering a new world, but one where the vehicles of the future will not be made by an army of workers, or run on fossil fuels. I doubt the mounting problems will reach a critical mass at the same time, but I do know the dog doesn't care, as long as he gets his wedge, has adoring crowds, and can boast in one sentence that under his paws, the US will end the AIDS epidemics and cure child cancer. Yet there he is, barking about the radical left as if they were an existential threat to the USA. Margaret Thatcher once likened socialist state subsidies to the State using other people's money to reward failure -sounds to me like the dog rustling up $12-14 billion a year to compensate soybean farmers for losing the contracts due to his tariffs on China as pure socialism, but I don't expect the 'Squad' to get down and dirty in the same kennel as the dog, there's only room for one Mutt in the White House, the one that wags its tail when it sees the portrait of Kim Jong-un, America's new hero, to be loved and admired along with Mohammed bin Salman, the Halal Butcher of Arabia. 'Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia! And if you can't find him, Jamal Khashoggi will do!'
The US has lost any sense of dignity it might once have had. Gone is all the talk of rights, responsibilities and freedom. Health care in the US is a business because the US does not value public service. People like James Comey, John McCain and Robert Mueller can serve their country for the whole of their lives, only to be ridiculed and abused by a dog that has no concept of public service other than the US tax-payer shifting their dollars from their pockets to his. His supporters in Congress such as 'Moscow' Mitch (I don't even know where the epithet came from), are in violation of their Constitutional Oaths but nobody cares. The dog's supporter from the UK via Hungary (Sebastan Gorka) is worth looking up if you want a flavour of what it is like for someone who claims affiniity with the Marines to insult Robert Mueller, who did what neither Gorka nor the dog did, put on the uniform and fight for their country. The language is debased to such an extent you wonder if the US is suffering from an epidemic of abuse. I have never known a man claiming to be President to spend so much time humiliating and abusing Americans, mostly because they don't like him! Now he swears in public and has started making that gesture with his hand which most people know, at the same time as most people assume he spends most of his spare time wanking to internet porn when he isn't barking on his twitter feed.
Is the US finished now? What happens if the lenders want their money back? If the way we all work changes and those not prepared now are left behind and in ten years time are out of work, and permanently out of work? Some will shrug their shoulders and say, it's just a terrm or two, and then he is gone. But the damage the dog is doing to the US is going to last, because the myth of American unity is broken, one segment of the country hates the other, and regards the Constitution as a scrap of paper that prevents them from doing what they want.
Perhaps nothing better expresses the dog's nihilism than the manufactured 'spat' with Iran which merely perpetuates a 40-year war with Iran that has seen the US so far lose every battle, doomed as it is in the Gulf to lose another. None of this is necessary, but with the abandonment of any control by the US and Russia on the development of new nuclear missile systems, are we seeing the slow but certain steps to their use on the battlefield? Is it Shakepeare to whom we must turn and that bitter speech about 'this bleeding piece of earth' where Caesar, 'with a Monarch's voice' cries 'havoc' to 'let slip the dogs of war'?
And who wins this war, and who pays for it? And what is the point of working if the only person who benefits is a dog that pisses in your mouth, and shits in your face?
