No speeches.

.

.

They keep trying to push speeches.  I keep killing them.  Even when I had favorite stars, or favorite historic figures, even when I had politicians I had some belief in?  No.  Speeches were always out.  That and poetry.  I have started liking, and allowing, poetry.  But with some limits.  At least with poetry, people realize it is... an emotional thing.

When someone gives a speech?  If it raises you up, makes you feel better, patriotic, or else?  It's... emotional.  What I started doing was looking at what the politician or whatnot was saying, and what was done for or after it.  Usually?  Nothing.  At best, often, nothing.  At worst?  They did what they said, but it not only failed, it was ruinous.  Oddly, in between those is when they did something else to little or no effect.

Basically, though, most of them lied.  They lied about their intentions.  They lied about any problem or perceived problem.  They liked about what had been done or was being planned.  And, usually, the problem wasn't a problem, the solution couldn't therefore work, though someone probably got a lump of money to do something that wasn't what was suggested, which failed because there wasn't a problem, and if there had been, the proposed solution was foolish even if it had been used.

Well, and sports?  Keep the 'groids on the drug train, becoming millionaires by making billionaires rich.  Not a bad gig, and it keeps them out of prison where many of them actually belong.  I'm surprised they haven't just created private prison sports teams.  That way, they could really cut down on team expenses.  And, with minor allowances, keep the players just as incentivized.  Yeah, those speeches are even worse than political or corporate speeches.

So, no.  No speeches.  Action.  Ideas.  Religion.  Poetry.  But no lying liars going on for a few minutes to hours.  Enjoy them elsewhere, if you enjoy them.  Does anyone actually go watch rallies?  I wouldn't even have gone to see Trump.  I knew he was lying, which is why I didn't vote.  More, I knew, even though he sort of believed in some things, he was saying, he was surrounded by people who didn't.  Most of the people around him hated Americans.  And... they liked Americans more than even the other side, for what little that really means as well.

No speeches.  No rallies.  It's all bupkis.  I am interested to see what Trump has to say next time.  Since I know he will lie, won't build a wall even with the money and courts allowing it, I wonder what his next ideas will be.  Oh, he wasn't bad.  Probably as good as we can get, at this point.  But... that... just isn't good enough.  Still, I wish him luck.  If I think even he has to know the winner is chosen, just not by the people.  He has to know that, at this point.  So, what, does he think he can get the kingmakers on his side?  Should be interesting.  Honestly, I am surprised he is still alive.  Wishing him luck, though, too, hope he gets rid of many of his groomers.
