comes great insanity

It isn't comforting to think that the filthy rich are needier than a motherless child.

that those with the money they have jump out windows like they did during the crash.

I hope they lose it all.

This writer perfectly nailed the ethos of the Trump phenomenon - it's both evil and embarrassing, and it's not just cool-wannabe poseurs like Musk and Zuckerberg; it's Trump himself: Overweight, aging, balding, trying desperately to hold onto his self-image as a suave playboy through orange makeup, dyed and elaborately-styled hair, lifts in his shoes and a transgressive attitude; illiterate, childish Xeets and it's all so cringe-inducing. Equally embarrassing is the servile toadying of GOP members of Congress and the oligarchs who want to keep the gravy train coming. And it's all profoundly evil and at the same time profoundly cringe-inducing. A unique horror, indeed. At least Bond villains weren't embarrassing.

Never fear, though. The modern day Gengis Khans will be here to mop up this mess on aisle fifty, promptly.

Then, the real dark ages will begin. For real.

I doubt if I will get to see it, but it’s bound to happen.

Dust in the wind...

"Cringeworthy," not just "cringe."

Damn shame, because it's a good job, otherwise...

she’d be a good modifying influence on him. But she seems to have become a non-person.

heartless creeps who take advantage of the stupid and uninformed people. They have laid this groundwork for the past 40 years. I watched all 40 years of it, and it made my skin crawl even then, because I could see what was going to happen.

As it started, the Democratic party was also taken over by the corporate interests, and we seemed to bow to the "success stories". I protested it at the time, and I still hate it. The revolution of the 60's was the swan song of those of us with a true moral compass. That was when the right KNEW that if they took over the media, the churches, and the schools, they would prevail in taking the largest world power back to the dark ages.

They have prevailed.

These deranged lowlife cowards want unearned “respect” from their victims through intimidation and worse.

I stopped watching sitcoms, if embarrassing someone was part of their weekly show. I read the link's article and I get her point of view completely. I am an older person, never cared for Candid Camera, it was just making fun of people and embarrassing them. The fact that these super rich people (won't call them men,) are embarrassing themselves, to me, proves they are just little children trying to be part of the in crowd. Tsf was never part of the in crowd and these "losers" as the author calls them, their actions disgust me, make me cringe knowing they are really in power and plan to hurt people. I agree with her, maybe they need to be bullied.

and their search for acceptance just isn't working out for them. It's like 9th graders trying to be cool around seniors and it just doesn't work. Meanwhile they think money will make them "cool" when they can't smile with their eyes and haven't a clue as to being genuine. Afterall, they got lots of money and they are gonna die one day and someone is going to get it no matter what planning they do.

I hate to say it but, Fuck em.

Between President Muskrat and Peter Theil we are getting the worst that SA has to offer.
