I Won’t Watch the Debate!

I’m not watching tonight’s GOP debate, Trump, or no Trump, and here’s the reason why.

Because I have decided to ignore the GOP from now on no matter who ends up running against Joe next year. And the reason I’m going to absolve myself of any more interest in the GOP whatsoever is because, as far as I’m concerned, the GOP has stopped behaving like a political party which represents anything at all.

In other words, fu*k ’em. Or to quote Grandpa, they’re ‘vishtugidacht’ (read: no goddamn good.)

I used to think the Democrats represented the United Federation of Teachers (UFT), the Republicans represented the Chamber of Commerce, and we needed them both. Because in a capitalist society, either you accept the existence of private property, or you don’t. And if you would prefer to live in a country where you can’t go shopping and piss away some money on some piece of crap that you don’t need and will sooner or later toss, go live in Albania, okay?

Except the truth is that all those starving Albanians ain’t so starving any more. The country has developed a very nice tourist industry and some of its beaches on the Adriatic are as lovely and secluded as anything we used to have on the coastline south of L.A.

Anyway, back to the GOP.
