BURNING QUESTIONS IN A UNIVERSE OF MYSTERY #86:

. . . I’m still processing the fact that the girl with the guitar in the DoorDash ads hasn’t become a superstar, yet.

Give me a minute.

58 seconds pass.

Okay, I’m good to go.

Here’s my new question:

If the Best and the Brightest got us-America-into tragic quagmires in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. . . . then what do we call this self-destructive Trump Bullshit? 

The obvious answer is the Worst and the Dimmest-people online have already jumped on that one, a gimme, when you think about it.

I guess I’ll just stick with calling it the Trump Bullshit. It works.

Hmmm . . .

Let me put it like this:

The Best and the Brightest focused America on bombing people overseas, on channeling our appetite for destruction outwards . . .

By contrast, the Trump Bullshit is directing our hatred and stupidity inwards . . . kinda like a samurai plunging his blade into his own abdomen . . . burning down our own government, flushing the Constitution down the toilet, crashing the economy, persecuting dissenters . . . because . . . ?

Because . . . ?

Uhhh . . .

Because . . . we haven’t won any wars overseas in decades, so we’re declaring war on ourselves to see what shakes out . . . out of boredom, stupidity, extreme masochism, curiosity, a perverse sense of novelty?

If anyone wants to hook me up with the answer key from the Teacher’s Edition give me a holler . . .
