I'm pretty certain that we have been living in Clown World for a long time - probably decades - and it's only our perception of the whole production that's changed.

Biden is certainly execrable. But just because he looks worse than Drumpf in various photo and video footage sniffing hair, feeling minors up and other disgusting acts of public depravity, doesn't mean that the other guy isn't also a sleazeball. It should be okay to recognize that the system serves us exactly the kind of power-seeking creatures that should be kept far from the levers of power. But we're so conditioned to pick a side that we end up rooting for that old "lesser of two evils," which of course is still invariably something vile.

We should be able to call out someone for associating with Epstein and making the judge that gave Epstein his "sweetheart deal" (Alex Acosta, for those playing at home) his Secretary of Labor - just as we call out Creepy Joe - without being attacked for being a hater. The system isn't broken - it was just never meant to work for regular people like us who would never feel entitled to grab someone by the p&ssy or traumatize their daughter for life with inappropriate (or worse) showers.

How did everything become so corrupt and evil? Are we just noticing now because of the internet? How have people like bush, mayorkas, biden, clintons, romney, gates, every career politician, kleptocrat and oligarch and too many others to name gotten so wealthy and powerful?

How did biden become potus when everything about him was an affront to everything? How did harris when she is the same? Why are people so worshipful of trump? Everything is upside down, disgusting and obscene.
