Started the day at the Barber shop this morning and as often is the case I was first in line at 7 a.m. While in the chair the second in line sat waiting opposite to start his day with a preamble to the all day TV news programs that were obviously his all day daily routine .
” Did you see those shoe’s Biden was wearing ? Saw it on FOX … for Chrissake it’s an embarrasment to America to have a President seen in public wearing shit like that .”
He might well be right about that but I couldn’t help but respond with ….
” At least they didn’t have toilet paper stuck to the bottom of them ”
He didn’t know what I was talking about and probably just as well as I wouldn’t want to insult his hero worship of people with arrest records . And right on que he went on to express that it looks pretty clear that they have finally got Hunter and his Old Man right where we want them . I questioned if he meant Hunters Dick Pics that Marjorie was astute enough to bring to the recent House commitee meeting .
“Fuckin A Right ! ” said customer number 2
Looks like Fox and the Republicans certainly have their fingers on the pulse of all the most important issues is what I offered with my forked tongue planted firmly in the cheek . Like Bud Light and Disney… Barbie and shit . As I paid up he was deep into ignoring the irony of what I had just said and on to how it’s absolutely true that there were some benefits to be gleaned from being a slave . Like learning skills .
That one is interesting I thought as I made my escape , another case of the endless ultimate spin that so many of us just readily gobble up up without hesitation . Just outside of Berlin during WWII there was a concentration camp where Jews literally starving to death were forced to work in the bakery making bread for SS troops as a form of torture . Won’t be long now before our school systems inform our kids that the few who survived that atrocity brought very valuable baking lessons with them to very productive lives in Israel . Makes sense right?
Outside the barber shop were two vehicles in the parking lot . The car parked next to mine had one of those life sized Donald Trump profiles attached to the rear door window with the appearance of a man who could’t wait to be rushed home to turn on the “news”….
