How is it these guys are so smart doing Evil but...............

[Bonhomme Richard]

absolute fuck-ups when it comes to getting anything right, or even getting their own crazy ideas to work? I don't get it.
The only thing I can think of that they do very well (a kind of weird genius) is creating havoc and misery.

1. It's easy to fuck up when you have no intention of trying nt

2. I decided a few years ago that

it's impossible to be consistently good.

But it is possible to be consistently evil.

3. Not Entirely True....

They are good at making themselves more powerful. They are good at stripping away the rights given by the constitution. They are good at keeping taxes low on their upper 1% base. They are good at controlling and manipulating the media for all they're worth.

There are plenty of things they're good at. None that benefit us of course, but that's irrelevant to them.

4. Why do the neocons bother passing laws

instead of simply declaring a takeover? At this point I can only guess that it's so that it all appears legitimate to the armchair citizen.

[sui generis]

5. it's because they love to find the loophole

if they can think of it and get away with it and say "gotcha", in their mind you were worthy of having your ideals / money / freedoms taken away.

So if they can twist and spin and recharacterize and all that other doublespeak they do, that's the goal. Actually doing something productive within the law? Where's the reward in that?

They're sick. All asshat and no cattle.

6. Maybe they don't want to get anything "right" OTOH, maybe they are

getting it "right" according to their plans. :shrug:

7. I guess the answer is really at the heart of what............

this nations citizens have become. It's not a pretty or optimistic picture.
