Carlin explains politicians and America's place. 

Money is from 10:00 on...

Carlin would have been the ultimate anti-Trumper.

He understood what politics really is.  He understood the differences between rhetoric and reality.

Our government is openly for sale.  We argue mostly meaningless issues while this one big overreaching truth becomes more and more entrenched.

Elections are a good time to remind myself that we are pretty much choosing which group we think will be slowest in driving us over the cliff.

Sadly, this statement is a pretty good reflection of our average understanding of power, politics, history.

On this, WE ARE 100% AGREED.

I may have been describing myself wrong. I guess I am a Carlinist-Prog. 

While advocating for M4A, MWI, UBI, Tuition Reform, no more unauthorized wars, etc I understand that the only thing out there that will deliver any of that doesnt exist at this point in time.

With the DNC in charge of the Senate, the HOR, and the WH, we could not even get a meaningless vote to raise the Minimum Wage. Think on that for a while...

I admittedly didn't fully appreciate Carlin when he was around. The man was truly one of a kind. 

[SLAG-91 1,483]

Seems to fit here, too. Don't be misled by the tweet's text.

I don't know if any of you were at AU in the late 80s or early 90s, but Carlin was at Beard Eaves one night. He was extremely entertaining and funny.
