Better Off Dead

Have you been watching The Treason Hearings?  Season 1 debuted Thursday night, starring some guy from Mississippi, Liz Cheney, and a University of Georgia grad who had the bad fortune of working for the Capital police on January 6. 

Fani Wills, the Fulton County DA here in Atlanta, has assembled a Grand Jury to consider charges against Agent Orange for trying to extort the Georgia Secretary of State into "finding" him some 11,780 votes.  A criminal trial is probably pending.  That show should be a good spin-off of The Treason Hearings.

Of course, all of this is just a prequel to the main event, the 2022 Midterm Elections. Here in Georgia, the Elections will include the Rev. Raphael Warnock, the pastor of Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church (literally, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s old job), versus former Georgia Bulldogs running back Hershel Walker.  

I think Warnock will win (Walker, although a beloved sports figure here in Georgia, is a terrible campaigner), but the Democrats will otherwise get clobbered.  They'll lose control of both the Senate and the House, and control of most of the states.  The Republican-controlled Congress will shut down any remaining investigations or hearings on the criminal actions of Agent Orange's so-called presidency, and devote their time to Hunter Biden's laptop, non-existent voter fraud, and whatever other culture-war distractions they could dredge up (e.g., trans athletes dominating girls' sports, gay couples appearing in television ads). 

The Republicans will eviscerate whatever remains of the Voting Rights Act, will outlaw abortion even under the most dire of circumstances, and ignore any suggestions for common-sense gun-control legislation.  The United States will essentially become an autocracy, a religious autocracy at that.  Any efforts to reduce carbon emissions will be ridiculed as "woke," and much of the planet, if it hasn't already reached the tipping point, will become uninhabitable.  The United States will fall behind Europe and Asia in terms of education and technological advancement and life expectancy. We're already behind several other nations in many of these categories.

Of course, I'm an old man, and this ROM won't be alive to see many of the latter predictions above. But I hope the younger generation enjoys the shitty hellscape of a world we've left behind, and can take solace in the fact that at least they owned the libs and didn't fall for any woke ideology.

As David Berman once said, "The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind."
