Are you saying we shouldn’t vote blue no matter who?

Politics is one of those claw games where they rig it to barely be able to win. Just enough that you keep shoving quarters into it, but not so much that you get something you actually want.

Except I’m forced to play and get berated when I say it’s a stupid game designed to frustrate you.

He had influence because of a terrorist attack and being a dumb lickspittle to a con man with Russian mob contacts. New Yorkers hated Giuliani before it was cool.

I refuse to have hope.

Oh you mean like Rudy Giuliani? Mayor of the biggest city? The Mayor of America?

Unless we’re going to back to polities like the ancient Greeks NYC thinks too highly of itself.

I saw “What Dreams May Come” in high school and wept the entire way from the theater to the car.

Even met some friends on the way and had to explain I was crying because it was so beautiful.

Oh goody, one good thing could happen anywhere while a million bad things could happen a million times in a million places.

You’re not gonna trick me into having hope over one dumb mayoral election. We’re too fucked for that to make a difference.

Not a presidential election. Or a senate election. Or even a house election.

A mayoral election.

And this should scare the DNC?

Baloney.

Don’t worry, even if it’s good now it won’t be good later for some dumb reason

I look forward to his single term fighting against every entrenched power structure in the city and also the procedural bullshit that will hamstring anything good he tries to do.

Or losing to the Republican.

I really don’t think Trump cares about public opinion.

The government doesn’t work that way anymore. We’re not gonna Woodward and Bernstein our way out of this.

Also: since when does Trump care what’s legal?

Yeah, that one wasn’t nearly as good

Yeah.

Plus my racist neighbors with their chemlawn are pissed

Maybe, in the far future, I elected to have my skull sent back in time for that purpose.

Because I totally would.

I let milkweed take over my front planting bed and I’m ecstatic

Yeah but fewer people get the references

Cosmos (the original)

Connections with James Burke

Secret Life of Machines

All of David MacAulay’s books

Right so why bother impeaching him anymore. It makes the legislative branch look like a bunch of idiots.

Didn’t the house already impeach him twice?

No, it is true. Companies got sued because they brought in H1-B visas because no domestic worker could meet the impossible job requirement. So they get a slave who has to keep their job or be deported.

Jobs that are entry level and require years of experience are common.

And, yes, the assholes in charge are doing this.
