Because I see such great order and intelligence in life and the universe I'm always completely baffled that people like him hold the power they do. That was so skillfully written. You've captured the essence of a terrible monster that has horrified me for decades.
Lines like "It’s an assisted living facility for psychopaths" is why I enjoy reading you two. All the more evidence that those of the US Inc political class are selected, not elected.
The real issue is the U.S. is a gerontocracy. A deeply corrupt one. Old men in the U.S., those born rich and some who corruptly have become rich in public office, cling to every scrap of power and all the money. And they are destroying not only our present but any hope that children might have for a future that they could one day be able to manage and decide.
That in itself makes these corrupt oligarchs guilty of a massive crime against humanity.
That they have also been complicit in bombing and invading and drone executions for decades, makes them inhuman.
They deny healthcare as a human right to the American people…while awarding themselves gold plated healthcare plans on Capitol Hill. Meanwhile people in America go bankrupt or even die due to unaffordable healthcare. That’s inhuman.
Skip the old folks home. There is lots space for him, and 24-hour supervised care too….. at the ICJ.
Isn't part of the current problem the younger empire apparatchiks who operate these old folks like puppets? e.g. Diane Feinstein's daughter is in charge of her finances, and Nancy Pelosi's daughter is her (DiFi's) minder. Some have called this elder abuse.
Yeah that's what gets me. How is it possible to hold office when you are not even legally able to handle your own affairs!? I have said this before a Bus driver has more qualifications and has been tested better than any "Politician".
It’s the opposite with Biden. Sends his mentally deficient son out on the global backstreets to prostiitute the family name!
I thought Trump and his kids were odious but even they did not offer to provoke WW III or risk nuclear annihilation of the entire planet in their quest to financially exploit public office. .
Greta Thungberg and the environmental activists don’t emphasise this enough. The situation is ridiculous and calls for ridicule. Hound them out of office by laying bare the sheer absurdity of these people and this situation.
It's happening to Feinstein, Pelosi and of course FJB. Like you, I wish it would happen to the entire Anglo-Zionist Empire of Lies and Hate right fucking now!
Remove Israel and the 'fifth column' Neocons hiding in America, posing as Americans from their privileged positions of power and influence and let us again see the real America, so well respected in the past, take up the rightful management of a country that really does need help...right now.
9 million arrogant Israeli "chosen people" controlling through bribery, political corruption and media ownership a country of 330 million people with the two houses of government dancing to every Israeli tune, every day.
You can do it America, Your future needs it to happen. Soon.
Does the fifth column description fit?
A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group or nation from within, usually in favour of an enemy group or another nation.
That was your read from his face what was going through his mind? I saw him looking at the gates of hell that awaits him, a glimpse of what will be his eternity, wordless, powerless, knowing the reckoning is coming, his fate, his doom is sealed. Taking stock of the company he'll be keeping. Coming to terms with that stark reality can't be a pleasant experience. Nor should it be.
But, that's just my read. So I guess we're both guilty of projecting what we think of him and those like him, the state of humanity, its flaws and its innocence all at once. And our ideas of what exists beyond. What we read into others in moments like that is different for each of us. Truth is, saying more about us than them.
You are really tugging at my heartstrings with respect to media figures and DC plutocrats last couple days. Great analogies. America is in a nursing home. We should be placed in a straight jacket as we are a danger to ourselves and others.
I’m hopin the jab is the cause of all this senility. That has a certain Schadenfreude caché to it. But otherwise it makes me weep to see this public display of mental crumbling, even on such a wicked man as he is.
I do, but here is REAL Schadenfreude—Rudy Giuliani was just found guilty of defamation of 2 election workers and has to PAY, baby, but has no spongiform to blame it on, because I’m almost positive he didn’t get the jab. Hahahahohohoheeheehee.
Jeano: My wife and I visited her parents for 2+ years in a Memory Care Center. We still have nightmares about the experience. Worse than any horror movie.
Actually, more bothered to see you inviting suffering to yourself with your mean attitude. But I know whereof you speak. I was so like you. As Dylan says, I’m younger than that now.
This essay is quite a work of art, Caitlin! You creatively and accurately painted a picture of the absurdity and the evil that is the ruling class in America.
It takes a certain intellect and serious skill to write what Caitlin has written today.
Well sone, Caitlin. You have summed it up for everyone.
But as a compliment to all the commenters, a most enjoyable collection of thoughts, hard to dismiss any of them.
Finally. Sad that there are so many politicians in the same boat, with the same values as McConnell. He is the living representation of the end of empire.
Too funny you wrote "people who receive sexual gratification from dropping military explosives on foreigners." I used to "joke" that Donald Rumsfeld probably jerked off to Abu Graib torture videos...
They & their banking friends engineer multiple wargasms for themselves all day long with [imaginary] money taxpayers have borrowed-at-interest-from-the-Khazarian-Mafia who, as fine upstanding capitalists, lend to both sides of conflict. Sure does look like that's a very hard radioactive rock face the human race is hurtling towards. Fasten your seat belts or better still, begin our recovery from this madness by using a different brand of [interest-free] cash-money that doesn't starve us in the midst of plenty. Here's one way! Help yourselves! https://www.complementarycurrency.org/
Gotta luv Tara Reade’s commentary that Congress was NEVER meant to be a NURSING HOME for these people to just rake in millions til they stroke-out in their chairs like Feinstein and McConnell.
Your last 2 paragraphs describe a beautiful vision, Caitlin. We can all hope and pray that such a day is coming soon. This is one long national nightmare that needs to be over for real (along with the global nightmare imposed by our nightmare nation on the rest of the world).
Your prose is sublime, Caitlin
A brief flash of senility, an abrupt bowel movement in the bowels of the swamp
Agreed
Because I see such great order and intelligence in life and the universe I'm always completely baffled that people like him hold the power they do. That was so skillfully written. You've captured the essence of a terrible monster that has horrified me for decades.

Yes. An "assisted living facility for D.C. psychopaths" is an idea that should be pitched to Netflix immediately.
Writers are on strike. Fortunately, it's a limited enough domain that a tiny, cellphone-sized LLM could write a whole season in an hour.

The average age of Congress is greater than that of the Brezhnev era Politburo.
Exactly.
Greta Thungberg and the environmental activists don’t emphasise this enough. The situation is ridiculous and calls for ridicule. Hound them out of office by laying bare the sheer absurdity of these people and this situation.
You are pretty eloquent yourself.
Absolutely brilliant. Bravo to the writer.
It's happening to Feinstein, Pelosi and of course FJB. Like you, I wish it would happen to the entire Anglo-Zionist Empire of Lies and Hate right fucking now!
The cleansing process requires just one action.
Remove Israel and the 'fifth column' Neocons hiding in America, posing as Americans from their privileged positions of power and influence and let us again see the real America, so well respected in the past, take up the rightful management of a country that really does need help...right now.

Spot on!
Back at you. Your prose is exquisite, he he.
The Zionists of whom you speak are Khazarian Mafia and they are not Jews.
Have you read Frances Leader on substack. She has some interesting stuff
No I haven't. At this point I'm getting overwhelmed with so many writers. I'm subscribed to so many and they have links to more.
That was your read from his face what was going through his mind?

I’m hopin the jab is the cause of all this senility. That has a certain Schadenfreude caché to it. But otherwise it makes me weep to see this public display of mental crumbling, even on such a wicked man as he is.
Wait: You actually think he GOT the jab?
I do, but here is REAL Schadenfreude—Rudy Giuliani was just found guilty of defamation of 2 election workers and has to PAY, baby, but has no spongiform to blame it on, because I’m almost positive he didn’t get the jab. Hahahahohohoheeheehee.
Maybe someone swapped out his distilled water for the real thing. He must be hated by enough people for that by now.
Jeano: My wife and I visited her parents for 2+ years in a Memory Care Center. We still have nightmares about the experience. Worse than any horror movie.
Wait, you’re bothered to see these jackals suffer voluntarily?
Actually, more bothered to see you inviting suffering to yourself with your mean attitude. But I know whereof you speak. I was so like you. As Dylan says, I’m younger than that now.
I don’t see how it’s any meaner than taking glee in something as meaningless as vaccine status, which doesn’t chap at me
Hey, if taking a dump in their pants makes these monsters more humane, I’ll gladly hold my nose!
This essay is quite a work of art, Caitlin! You creatively and accurately painted a picture of the absurdity and the evil that is the ruling class in America.
Mary Warren: Isn't inbreeding wonderful?
No better proof that these are the dying days of the US Empire. Long live the BRICS plus.
Well said, Joseph.

Lindsey Graham surely does…
I assume the only or main reason you didn't assume this automatically is because he was also older than Yoda before he left government service.
Do not vote. You are legitimizing them. Do not vote. American democracy died.
Try Frances Leader on substack.
