Quickening?

It’s summer, but seeing the sunset linger past 8 p.m. like a slow-burning acetylene torch is a bit unsettling. Added to that, upon hearing a series of climatic (and seismic) measuring devices are to be unceremoniously yanked from the ocean floor — why? — so the “administration” can make way for extensive resource drilling and garbage dumping — Whee! This should guarantee the extinguishing of all kelp forests (a standby for whales and sushi-lovers alike), bleaching dry of all iridescent coral reefs, and thwarting the prediction of major climate cataclysms.

Good show. But ICE must have that $78 billion. A fantastic way to deny those sniveling parasites — the poor — from being able to obtain a pack of saltines through SNAP card or Social Security income, to keep poorly ventilated but relatively safe senior studio rooms paid for!

Meanwhile, the “patriots” should be paid at least half a ‘bil each for trashing the decadent ol’ Capitol and yoking disloyal Hill police who foolishly tried to cossack a few craven congressmembers who tried to legally block an interregnum of just governance.

Which leaves us with the WWE “claw” over a laminate red, white, and blue fighting space, where bulging “warriors” may duke it out in bloodsport — to huge profit shares for the “ruling clan.”
