Amen to that.
It’s a shame any of us has had to live to see this monstrosity of a “presidency”.
I’m just hoping we all live to see its end.
Same here. Same here.
I’m sorry George Carlin did not live to see the donald become president.
If George Carlin had seen a Trump presidency he would have repeated: “In America, anyone can become president. That’s the problem.”
George Carlin would have had a field day. So would Hunter S. Thompson.
HST, god rest him, couldn’t even stand to watch the Bush years. What would he think of a president as mean as Nixon but so much stupider?
I can’t even begin to imagine. He’d no doubt recognize the dark underbelly of America that would put such a beast in power. The more disturbing passages from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas were of his narrative of that police association convention, or whatever it was. The sheer ugliness of ideology and character on display were beyond even the prefab ugliness of Vegas itself (a place I have visited a few too many times, I am afraid).
If George Carlin had seen a Trump presidency, he would have also repeated: “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
“Carlin’s Law of Averages” (assuming nobody beat me to it).
I’m honestly much sadder that they didn’t live to see Trump’s Presidency end by impeachment, conviction, and a restoration of left to left of center ‘Good Government’ in the ole US of A.
Hell! Why I’m being wishful on flights of fancy, let’s throw in a pony or two.
Indeed, they deserved better.
