Debate: a sewage report

George Orwell’s remark: ‘every joke is a tiny revolution.’

I know how to ‘save’ Trump: to have him say, “I was wrong” and list the offenses (pandemic, white supremacy, not being transparent about the commingling of his personal finances & his obligations as President, the dereliction of his executive administrative duties, the hiring of Mike Pompeo, and then say, “I am not really a Republican…(plus) I promise to change and become a better man.”

I know too not only how to ‘save’ Biden but to guarantee he wins the upcoming election: to have him say, “I’m going to create so many JOBS, that you’ll all be sick of jobs, you’ll start marching in the streets against jobs, peacefully I’m sure, carrying banners that read, “NO MORE JOBS!”, “STOP THE ILLEGAL JOB FLOW,” “THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN, NO MORE JOBS!”

By the way, the media is living in much too comfortable surroundings, don’t you agree? Every night now, the media is featured on TV, the print media particularly, the ink-stained wretches who write political commentary, shown in their too comfortable living rooms, sitting in front of floor-to-ceiling designed bookshelves, the palace walls exhibiting their owners’ bad taste in art, the martini-shaker locked up tight in the liquor cabinet…instead, I’d much rather see the media living in shacks with no running water, a 10 gallon plastic bucket to catch what leaks from the ceiling, and a PVC pipe that runs from the outhouse directly to the public street. If there must be a bookshelf as prop, let there be only one and that one holding no more than 3 books.

Perhaps it is the glorification of fake violence on tv—the re-enactments of the violence that occurs in real life in acts of war, policing, governmental misdeeds and so on—that is contributing to our current malaise and if, instead, real violence was glorified we’d soon be over it and on to better things, knowing what real violence is, having been held at gunpoint by our captors.
