"Tiger King, Murder, Mayhem and Madness" on Netflix, anyone

[IcyPeas]

Only 2 episodes in but it is very strange.

True docuseries about big cat owners (lions, tigers, snow leopards, etc)

...dives into the wild world of big cat owners and enthusiasts in an exploration of one man’s path from attention-seeking zoo owner to convicted criminal.

1. I watched it yesterday...

The thing that stood out most in the whole series was it showed how stupid the electorate really is. It's so easy to see how people elected Trump when they were so willing to cast their votes for this maniac. I think people just want to be entertained and are even willing to trade their liberty for a thrill.

Late stage capitalism indeed...

4. Ummm....

YEP!

And he was the typical narcissist who thinks he can do the job! He didn't care at all about the qualifications. AND people voted for him!!!!!

Quote from a supporter: I like the way he just says what's on his mind.

6. I love hearing: "He's not your typical politician."

My response: Neither was John Wayne Gacey, but we didn't elect him president!
