I’ve heard “Entry of the Gladiators” got associated with clowns because it’s circus code; they’d play it when there were technical problems to let clowns know they should go out and distract folks from all the serious stuff going on. This is obviously not about politics at all.
@Leucrotta It's a honestly freeing but disappointing realization that our supposed leaders are mostly a distraction from the actually powerful
what a bunch of clowns
@chimerror distract, get approval, and get to act like a complete asshole in public. There’s literally never a down side for any Republican.
If I hated any other group of people as much as I hate them, you would justifiably refuse to deal with me for being an unreasoning bigot.
@Leucrotta I was including the Dems in that lol
but it's pretty clear the old bill hicks joke about assuming office and your first meeting is with some guy who tells you what your platform is going to be is more accurate than I thought
they probably don't even have to show the other angle of the JFK assassination, they just slide a check over for $Texas
@chimerror thing there is that I’ve spent my entire life hating Republicans. My complete horror at the way the Dems are the same vicious asswipes and yet I’m stuck voting for them with approximately the same enthusiasm and less positive results than cleaning the bathroom? That’s relatively new.
@Leucrotta @chimerror awareness is like that
