...and want us to believe it is raining.
They have so many diversions and fairy tales going on that it is impossible to keep track.
Look over here. No! Don't look over there!
These politicians are exhibiting the utmost disrespect to those they are supposed to represent.
They pretend they want the truth but, in reality, they want to hide the truth.
They are scheming with ways to keep citizens from voting. They are selling arms to drug dealers across our borders, under the guise of infiltrating and following these dealers, so they can stop them from doing their illegal acts. But, are they really?
They are threatening each other with the power they temporarily hold, as they accept bribes in the hundreds of millions of dollars from their own kings and rulers.
And they lie. But they lie about secrets. If it is a secret, they can never be caught in their lies. It is a dangerous and deceptive web they weave.
Meanwhile, we are told to eat the gruel. It is good for us. And we slosh along, our boots full of piss, debating and arguing about the next election.
I apologize if this has spoiled a perfectly good day.

Obviously, he's a second-language learner, but in some ways his version is a bit more accurate of repubs.
