Scoreboard Watching, Donald vs. Hillary

HILLARY'S UP BY A TOUCHDOWN, 95-88, BUT ITS EARLY. Trump trotted out his list of retired top military brass in his corner, taking an early lead, but the Clinton cannon shot right back, with her list of supporting generals and admirals, ret....Who'll be the first to break a thousand? It won't take long, in this era of offense. H.L. Mencken , or somebody, once said "the fools would be humorous, were they not in such deadly earnest". This brings back fond funny memories of grade school back in the early sixties, when we traded lists of our ten best friends. I thought that sort of behavior was juvenile even then, because I was a precocious little shit, so you can imagine what I, and thinking people all across the fruited plain are thinking now, eyes a rollin'. Technically, military people aren't supposed to be expressing political preferences, instead defending both republicans and democrats in freedom's land from foreign and domestic threats, but who can argue that the current state of American presidential electoral politics is anything other than a threat to America's future? Besides, when you retire, even from America's military, you are beyond danger, and can do and say whatever in hell you damned well please. Trump has a secret plan to defeat the Islamic State, but since the current general military staff is, in his words, "a pile of rubble", His Donaldjesty plans to wait until a more opportune time, when he has how own military leadership in place, before sharing. Rumor has it that the pentagon people are considering threatening to water board the Tumpster to elicit the precious plan and win the war against Satan. After all, Trump approves of what we once called "Chinese water torture", but have since decided isn't really all that torturous. Obama must be seething, wondering how to pry the magic plan out without risking impeachment in his final days in office. We the people in the great fun houses that is the United States of Advertising will simply have to wait for "The Plan" to be unveiled, which it most certainly never will be if Hillary is elected. But in the meantime, we can amuse ourselves by watching the scoreboard and placing bets on which contestant will win the most support from retired military personnel.------------PLEASE SHARE THIS WEBSITE WITH A FRIEND!
