An Empty Suit

Today's song is: Is not a song but an Ode to Jane Fonda


And Jane on Trump with some Russkies commenting  ..


and the song  .. Universal Soldier  .. Buffy  .. no, not the Vampire Slayer


Shades of McCarthyism .. you can't talk to our adversaries, the Russians.  Makes you wonder how you turn an adversary into a friend if you can't talk to them. How has that worked for US-Russian relationship over the the past 50 years.

It raises the question, 'Why don't we like the Russkies?' As much as I can tell, it is because they do not embrace the US ideals of Democracy and Capitalism. It appears the Russians are guilty of influencing the election. You don't think for a moment perhaps the ultra rich in the US did not influence the election with their SuperPacs?  But, I guess that is okay as it is the status quo, the democratic, libertarian way of ruling the populace.

There is no doubt that Donald Trump is a buffoon and far from politically correct. It is easier for the parties to control an 'empty suit' like Obama, a product of the party system in the US. He was praised for his innovative use of social media during past elections, but Trump gets pilloried by the press for using the same media to bypass their filters.

From Day 1, the press has united against the current president. He can't do anything correct in their eyes and they constantly parade their 'flunky' experts to reinforce their dogma.  What is the press?  Is there a formal body that licenses and polices their activities that doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc have? It appears not. It seems a pretty or handsome face and the ability to read a teleprompter is the only criteria required to 'influence' the electorate.

Who owns these 'empty suits'? The average Joe or Jane?  I think not, they are owned by the rich elite. Are they mostly left leaning. CNN has been influenced by Hanoi Jane according to Ted Turner's son:


The press is railing against democracy as they try to bring Trump down. It was the democratic system that elected Trump and like the man or not, the conservative party should govern for the 4 years. It is the will of the people. The press should be happy  .. what news would they have to read from their teleprompters if they had another 'empty suit' in the light house.
