Excellent point. I often gloss over the AK rapists years in the White House because the economy excuses Presidential rape for many. Looks like you expect more from your President than "he won't cost me my job."
It's been a painfully long time since I expected anything from
any office holder or office
aspirant. I have long considered the State (anyone who thinks we have a properly-construed
government is talking through his or her
chapeau) to be the nation's largest organised
crime family, and nothing among the current presidential aspirants tells me that they have
even a drop of thought toward doing something, anything, to change that status even to a
single, tiny degree.
From all appearances we're heading for a November contest between a crooked politician
and a purchaser of politicians crooked or otherwise, neither of whom seems to have any
interest other than the further metastasis of State power for her or his own particular
purposes.
But as Edward R. Murrow once observed wryly (commenting on the 1948 elections for
the spoken-word series of records,
I Can Hear It Now), it can't hurt to watch the
campaign, anyhow. Especially if you have a bent toward absurdist humour. Even if the
main attractions are about as funny as a screen door on a submarine.
