Trump Transition Team 5 Remix
Trump Transition Team 5 Remix (2016)
Trump seems to not be interested in fighting real battles or even engaging in genuine politics. It’s all a pageant to him, a fixed narrative, a rigged game in which he’s is supposed to be the big winner in the end, with the cheering and the booing just being all in good fun. But nobody’s having any fun, least of all him. And putting on a show is all he knows how to do.

[So long as] the proles can be distracted from their own despair by media-created pseudo-events, including the brief and bloody war, the super-rich will have little to fear.

Saint Stool Pigeon
Saint Stool Pigeon (2017)
We turned down the lights and I had my team bring in some candles so Mike could show me how he speaks in tongues. I had seen this on TV before. He asked for the blood of a stool pigeon to dip his fingers in before we talked about the sanctity of life.
