Fuck It, Before It Fucks You # 42 (Don't Forget Your Towel)

Hey it’s Friday night and time for me to bang out another blog isn’t it? Might as well now that I’ve done my weed shopping. Priorities, you know? Besides, the pot shops all close at 11:30, which is weird because in the old days I usually had to wait until after midnight to get my drugs. I don’t mean to complain but I’m going to anyway. I mean, I love the fact that I can buy weed without having to figure out if someone’s a cop, but now the market is all over-regulated. At least here in the state of Washington. I should be legally allowed to grow as much pot as I want and then do whatever I please with it. But of course that’s how a legitimized organized crime syndicate takes control of a market. First they criminalize it and create a moral panic about it, let things go on that way for about ¾ of a century, then gradually begin to make it ok again and by then people are just so grateful that you’re allowing it that they’ll accept whatever taxes and regulations they want to put on something that never should have been illegal in the first place.

But that’s not what I wanted to talk about today. I wanted to talk about this impeachment nonsense. Impeachment, of course, is the process that congress goes through when they decide that the President is so awful that he must be immediately replaced with his own hand-picked successor. Now at this moment in time, the President’s hand picked successor would have less than two years of the President’s term to serve out, meaning that he could still be elected to two full terms and, theoretically, could serve until 2029. Not that I think that’s going to really happen. Impeachment is ultimately a political process and the President’s party controls the Senate. So it’s possible the President could be impeached, but then they’d have to flip like 20 Republicans to convict and remove him from office. What I think is more likely to happen is that the President will survive an impeachment and be stronger for it going into the election. And I think the Democrats must know that, which is why I’m pretty sure they’re trying to throw this election just like they did the last one. At this point I’m pretty certain the two parties made a pact with each other in the 90’s to trade the Presidency every 8 years. These elections are just a slightly more sophisticated version of pro wrestling to keep the people’s attention away from child sex rings and corporations manuevering to consolidate their power more and more until they’ve got control of the whole planet. Then they’ll take over as much of outer space as they can while our planet burns and we’re all down here waiting to see if the President gets impeached and hope that solves everything. Well. I don’t know what else I can say about all that, aside from Fuck it! Before It Fucks You
