Politicians are your worst nightmare

Why this is hell, nor are we out of it.’ — Christopher Marlowe

After watching the first presidential debate two weeks ago and the vice presidential debate last night this is how I felt — an inhabitant of a Surreal Hell.

Politics is hell

Pablo Picasso’s Guernica, painted in 1937, is an appropriate image of hell that applies to today’s America — American politics in particular.

Picasso did the painting after the Basque village of Guernica in northern Spain was bombed by German and Italian warplanes during the Spanish Civil War.

This election year is a nightmare. As if the Covid wasn’t bad enough, politicians outdo themselves as lying, smirking, obnoxious vermin. At the end of last night’s debate there was little difference between a politician and the fly on Více President Pence’s head.

  1. I didn’t see it Bill. Not that I wasn’t interested. Just, I knew my stomach wouldn’t handle it well. All that crap coming out of their mouths usually has me running for the toilet. A flush and its gone! That’s what we should do with their bullshit. Flush it!
