The 'Show'

 Is the Presidency of the United States....more of a TV show, than some 'act' of political reality?

Back in the middle of the Clinton era....I started to think over things like this.  The whole sex story over Clinton came down to some comical discussion, and how no matter how many women Bill might have banged on the side....Hillary was just never going to leave.

From that point...even with the Bush era, the Obama period, and the four years of Trump....I felt that way.

With Joe Biden and VP Harris?  I've probably tripled  up my belief that it's more a TV show than anything else.

Faked-up drama?  Oh, there's not a day that passes now when you think this more of a 'Young-Frankenstein' comedy directed by Mel Brooks.

You can flip channels from MSNBC, to the View, and over to CNN....where you get comedy 'skit' number one....an hour later....comedy 'skit' number two, and so so.

The trouble here....after a while, you get the mindset that it's all a comedy.  Even the journalists are part of the act....the economists are actors told to read a script, and guests of the White House (like Macron of France or some Icelandic PM)....are also part of the act.

The odd factor?  Everything feels like a scam.    You listen to five minutes of CNN....skeptical of everything spoken.  You read a piece of the NY Times, and scam comes up once or twice by the end.  You have some talk-radio piece....where you start laughing over the pretended serious nature of the topic.

As for any indicator that the Joe/Kam 'show' might end, and the 'Donald-show' might start up....leading to another comedy?  Yeah, I even have that feeling.  To be honest, I think even the CNN people would be happy and rejoiceful because it'd improve their comedy 'score'.

Man, it makes me wish for that Gerald Ford era once again....where they barely mentioned his name once a week.
