Politics of BS
Being a rather well informed bs artist myself, I think I know a bit about it. Though to be truthful the politicians have it over me in tonnage. It ain't just US politics either, the whole global Gambit is wriethe with political bullshit. As if religion were not enough bs, the dumb bastards had to concoct yet another layer of bs, and they call it government. Just another way for elitist bastards to weild their supposed right to rule over the deserving peasantry. In some ways they have the right, because in general the peasants are just that, bumbling idiots willing to follow whatever authority seems to hold their limited interest. Perhaps that is why they developed so many layers. As they say you can't fool all of the people all of the time. That it's unless you create so much distraction that they have no time to focus on one thing or the other. Give the people their blood and circuses and they will remain mostly docile to your rule. Unfortunate, but mostly true.
