Today Wednesday 6th November 2024, the election result for president of the USA was announced just short of the official result, but the almost schizoid model of democracy points to a fairly accurate outcome.
Oh kids , on this day I weep for this world. I almost pray for the disasters ahead as the nominee for the Republicans, Donald Trump, talks of victory with his inarticulate speech of his fart!! A little.
Apologies, I don’t like the ‘F’ word, it’s smutty, and cheaply used, but it fitted.
In short, the Republicans won, the democrats didn’t. This out some truly despicable right wing Republicans with Trump to the fore – guys, have a look back at the history pages and see how life in the US and the rest of the world developed with this odious, nasty human being in this position of power.
Trump today has stated he will get rid of millions of ‘foreign’ bad people, latino’s mostly, Mexicans and Costa Ricans described by his people as garbage. God, I loathe him and his right wing animals.
It will amaze to the day I pass, how America lasts as a Democracy who shape a huge percentage of the nation operating in the way it maltreats it’s black Americans. Yet, so many vote for the American Dream, where it ‘can be done’. Frankly, what a shit hole of a society. Sorry good American’s, even sorrier for native Americans whose futureising is coming true.
Yet the USA blows off the lid of scientific achievement and offers kindness in handfuls, perhaps to those they choose, excluding those who need.
USA kills millions in the interest of collateral in wars – USA needs wars as it’s the only current action that gives it any status and even then they lose thousands of compatriots and patronise them and their families by bullshit ‘America Day’s’.
The war in Ukraine goes on and on with the support of US arms – gives them control – and of course the headline story is still with Israel and it’s genocide in Gaza, Lebanon and neighbours.
The blatant denial of the Israel government pulls forward the haunting memories of the crimes done unto Israel Jews in the 20th century. Who are the massacred now?
Kids I hope you are able to look back and make some sense of this period in your history and I guess you will have your own world wide issues to cope with as well as the ones on your own door step.
Another set of issues is around climate change – the United Kingdom is not doing enough, certainly in the bounds of the UK. How is it going for you now. For goods sake, plan ahead, remember having a home, shelter is no.1. That reflects my insecure upbringing.
Another tale another time!!
Drinking water is also right of humankind – it’s a disaster in too many places at the moment – as usual as a result of greedy bastards , yes in the UK, making money on poor peoples backs. Have a look, can you do anything about this.
There is another headline grabbing our nations attention , for some time now but in focus this week, where there will be a vote in the UK parliament over whether ‘assisted dieing’ should be legalised, made available etc. it’s complex, loads of rules and regulations but basically should someone who is suffering in life, expected to die, be permitted to take steps to take their own life, perhaps with help from medics and/or friends?
How is with you world now?
Oh and11th November was Remembrance Sunday, acknowledging the sacrifice by over a hundred years of young men and women in wars driven by politicians, sometimes for good? Don’t know.
It’s about now that those who fought on World war 1 and World War 2 will be no more, all passing from this world. There are still many still being sent by governments to fight, suffer, die so memories will stay and in the main, thousands of relatives will continue to gather in November to ‘REMEMBER’. They have a huge responsibility.
Note – the motion re Assisted Dying’ went to the UK parliament yesterday. The MP’s voted for it. It counts for England and Wales. There will be many issues between today and your later teenage years. Hope you have a look.
