Let's start with the most serious of actions and that is Kim Jung Un double dog daring us to wipe them from existence. He threatened to nuke the Pacific, an action that would almost certainly lead to a nuclear war. Today, he said that as the US had declared war on North Korea, which we haven't even by the loosest of Trump talk, they will start shooting down US planes even in international waters, That will also lead to a nuclear war, proving what I keep telling so called experts that Un is NOT sane, NOT reasonable and most likely to end millions of lives on the planet. What part of human history leads any rational person to think that Un won't do something so stupid that war will never happen? Read how almost all wars have ever started and there are only two explanations: stupidity or malice. Almost no war ever has been begun because it was the right thing to do. And when war is started, they usually fight in the most half assed way possible, all but guaranteeing the conflict will last way longer than it needs to, wounding and killing millions more than needed.
Many say we need peace and talks and crap like that. History tells us this will only lead to hundreds of millions, perhaps even billions dead. Our only option is to attack North Korea with everything we have and accept the fact that we are going to lose millions on our side too. If we had attacked decades ago, the death toll would have been far lower. For each decade they waited, the death toll multiplies. For anyone who thinks this theory is bunk, I challenge them to find a war in the last hundred years that wouldn't have have had a far lower death toll if we ended the war quick by any means possible, rather than dragging it out for the dumbest of reasons. WW2 would have been over before it started at least a dozen times had either the Russians or the Allies opened a history book to see how their chances stood and attacked earlier than they did, held back by mankind's pathological aversion to fighting and war. Sometimes, these are your only options. I know first hand, you can't always talk yourself out of a fight. Sometimes, you have to punch someone. We are at that moment. The longer we wait now, as Un is not wrong that war IS inevitable at this point, the more people are going to die. Chances are good, tens of millions will die if we attack now. If we wait as little as a year, that number may be hundreds of millions and by the end of this decade, we all could be extinct.
We are accelerating that time table because our moron president, along with the Republican party, are hell bent on killing our health care system with yet another fucked up bill that will kill millions and, most likley, quite a few Republicans when children start dying. This country is not known for stable, thoughtful dialogue. Scenes like the GOP baseball shooting may be much more common place if they ever figure out a way to enact this monstrosity. As of this moment, that seems unlikely in the short term, until at least 2019, as the next reconciliation bill is going to be used for taxes.
But that is not the only thing the GOP is fucking up as Trump keeps telling us he is pulling out of the climate change accord, which no one but the most stupid like him doing this, as well as hinting he will pull us out of the Iran deal as well. This would be the dumbest thing he could ever do as the Iranians could restart their nuke program tomorrow and we would have no way of stopping it. What it does in this treaty is prevent them from getting a bomb for ten years. So because President Blackenstein set this up, as well as everything else Trump has repealed, that is why it has to go, not because of policy? Fuck you! This is still a good deal. Leave it the fuck alone. He won't which will lead to another war front for us which worked out so well for Hitler when he said, "Let's attack Russia. Nothing bad has ever happened to anyone who opened a second war front." And then he lost. So will we.
Then we have the NFL. Talk about a perfect storm. CTE injuries are being discussed, hyper masculine sports play badly with the younger generation and now politics is involved. This is why the NFL ratings are in decline. That and the fact that they have way too many teams for the talent pool. I have watched a lot of shitty football these last few weeks and a lot of it had to do with the quality of the players who so far are a sad lot, especially among the Pats whose defense a small child could penetrate. The reason for this is they have spread out the best players among a sea of mediocrity, which has led to a lot of blowouts and poor games so far. Attendance alone tells us that LA cannot handle two teams anymore.
But all that was moot after President Hitler gave a rally that should have been dubbed in German to get the full effect. In it, he slammed the NFL and the players for daring to kneel during the national anthem. Gasoline, match, fire. The country erupted into two camps. One slammed the NFL for being unpatriotic and tuned out. The rest saw it for what it was, free speech. You may not like it, but this is a free country and that is exactly why we have the 1st amendment. I'd much rather see that than fucking Nazis for God's sake.
The right went ballistic over this, even though they shouldn't be. Any real American respects someone else opinion and that's what this is: an opinion. We as a nation better learn to mind our own business so things like this, abortion and gay rights can go forward without the "my way is the only way" crowd. Fuck off. This nation is based on the principle of free speech. The left and the right who don't like it are free to find somewhere else to go. The funny part is I agree with the right on this that kneeling during the anthem is disrespectable. So are black men being shot with impunity by cops. I many not agree with them, but I will fight for their right to say it. Again, as long as they are not Nazis. Those guys can go blow.
Lastly, a quick note about the Star Trek show last night: I would rather shave my head with a cheese grater while chewing on tin foil than watch another episode of this disaster. In no way was it even close to Star Trek, something that the Orville is actually much more like. How is that possible that Seth McFarlane made a better Trek show than this? The involvement of people like Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman are a big clue. Kurtzman's last project, The Mummy, was joke and showed it while Goldsman wrote such classics as I Am Legend, I, Robot and, barf, Batman and Robin. The one positive thing I can say is that it was pretty to look at. The special effects were really cool. That's it for good things. The pilot was boring, the dialogue awful, the costumes retarded, the character development nonexistent, and the plot was nonsensical. We don't even see the fucking ship in the first two episodes, only one of which we got to see for free. Tack on to that some of the worst, and I mean worst, characters in any Star Trek ever. The first officer is going to commit mutiny in coming episodes, yet will still somehow command a star ship. Right. In the pilot we only are introduced to three of the people and none of them were likable, including a science officer that appears to be afraid of his own shadow. That will play out well over sixteen episodes. The rest were just background noise.
Bottom line is don't bother. Watch the Orville for way better Star Trek episodes. And while watching it, pray we get to a point when interstellar travel is possible because right now we might now see 2020.
