watching the watchmen, and being on the walls of freedom, and all that.

Clearly, to elevate care in America, expanding Medicare roles is required, but in a fiscally soluble, responsible way, which seemed contrary to Obamacare stabbing itself in the buttocks by attempting to make insurance available in some form to everyone, yet depending on the revenue from the "no-insurance" income tax penalties.  So clearly, it depended on a plethora of the populace being penalized for having no coverage, which by its very design, is light years away from the single payer socialist dream of many on the left........

Among the dog whistles, there is the popular myth of an entitlement class, sedentary, lazy, refusing to participate in the workforce, and the thought provokes anger among the workers of the country.  It may have been in the secret sauce of Donald's speeches.  We forget however there is a larger and larger swath of the populace entering retirement, taking to their "paid-in" Social Security benefits.  Those benefits were long ago robbed by other government agencies to pay debts both popular and unpopular.  George W. Bush took on an air of unpopular adult responsibility in addressing the entitlement debt crisis years ago, but it was and is the "third rail" of politics, with talk of any kind of change, any attempt to address the insolvency of the system and the looming emptiness of the entire matter, doing more damage to the one addressing the matter, as it evokes a kind of instant mistrust and anxiety among the payees, whom happen to be EVERYONE.

Trump acted against his own interests addressing another popular myth of the roving illegal immigrant hordes, with the matter becoming overtly theatrical.  One caravan was said by CNN to be "women and children" while Fox correspondents on the scene interviewed male "caravaners" and spoke on and on about criminals among the crowd.  One murder was cited, the victim being Kate Steinle, was considered by the right so heinous that they stopped talking about it after the legal ruling on the case.

All of their indignity and offense melted away, as if by magic.  To turn a great wheel, perhaps, by screaming into the wooden cups fixed along its circumference.  What we have seen, even in live interviews from the halls of Congress, is a fixed football game without the grace of a running clock to call it done when its finished.

Higher concepts have been perverted, traded for a Trump rally here or a Hillary soundbite there.

So with a gullet-full of this inconsequential soul-less nothing burger, I turn towards some music on the radio, continuing my amateur interest in the disc jockey profession, looking at the arcane art of playlist selection.
