You know, it’s a damn shame people get emotionally invested in politics. Many of my family members get so worked up over it and I suppose when you get older it serves as entertainment — but it’s a poor form of entertainment, conducted by malefactors and caitiffs. I’d much rather spend my time learning how to properly drink whiskey, or perhaps how to make a good cocktail, or learning how to cook. But I suppose, once again, that’s my preference.
When I talk to people about reading classic literature, I can see it in their eyes the vacuous disinterest. Anything that requires objective analysis and thinking is often chided as being a waste of time. People will say “The Great Gatsby is a shitty book” and I will hit them in their face.
Ernest Hemingway was an avid skier. He talked about it in several of his books. In “A Moveable Feast” Hem talked about going to Switzerland with his mistress to enjoy the powder with a leather bag of red wine. This was before the faggotry of ski lifts when men had to hike up the mountain in order to ski down it. He said it made his legs stronger and he earned his enjoyment, through the agony of scaling up a mountain in the freezing temperatures, with a burlap hood and heavy wool pants to keep him warm.
It’s an allegory of sorts for the present day nuMale — a boy disinterested in putting in the work wanting to become a star instantly, rich and famous for no reason other than the fact that he’s a fool. To that end, the media has done a fantastic job GETTING RICH the past decade or two, telling fantastic tales, fables, to the American people. The ends never justified the means — but by the time people figured out they’d be long gone.
give Trump his due: under withering scrutiny, “no collusion” held up
— John Harwood (@JohnJHarwood) March 24, 2019
The Mueller business is over and this doesn’t mean Trump is a great guy. It only means a cloud of uncertainty has been lifted from the executive branch. Supposing once again, markets will likely favor this news, since Trump is a super easy money dork — who box watches stocks all day and really wants to get a trade deal done, a very beautiful one at that, in order to establish a legacy of being the best stock market promoter in the history of American politics.
