Been thinking, and there's been a lot of talk from certain quarters about things that are "Settled". They've been discussed, they've been kicked around enough and we need to move on.

And I was thinking, I'm not sick about hearing about these things. In fact, they aren't nearly discussed enough. I'd like a bit more discussion on these settled topics, and I'd like the candidates to talk about them.

So, here's a brief list, of things that I am NOT sick about hearing about, and want some actual effing reporting on. Because if the media doesn't do it, indie folks online will HAVE to do it.

I'm not sick of hearing about Hillary's emails, her servers, her breaking of confidentiality, her false statements to the FBI, her blatant lying to the American Public, OR her Republican Neo-con backers. We could use a heck of a lot more light on these things, and I do not trust the government to investigate their own owners.

I'm not sick of explanations about why we're STILL in Iraq, Afghanistan, and several other countries without a declarations of war. I'd actually like TO HEAR some. In fact, I think that AUMF is just about expired as far as a legitimate justification. Either get Congress to declare a fucking war, or bring the troops home. Only options, and I don't want to hear any more shit about it. You already killed the head bad guy enough times to fill an entire Stallone film Franchise and then some, so quit declaring victory that never seems to end the fucking war.

I'm not sick of hearing about Climate Change. I am sick however, of hearing about measured business friendly responses. Two different things. One is saying you acknowledge the problem, the other is basically saying fuck off. I'm a little sick of being told to fuck off by congress and the White House, thanks. If you're going to insult me, do it to my face, and don't try to insult my damn intelligence.

I'm absolutely NOT sick about hearing about 3rd parties. As in, THIS election. I quite frankly could give a rat's ass about rehashing the same arguments you've been making for 24 years about why you exclude them. That we've heard. I'd like to understand some rational reason that doesn't involve invoking names and people that you have been spouting since time immemorial. If you can't provide that, or anything that doesn't immediately leap to the "Appeal to Authority" argument, I know it's full of shit, because it stinks.

I'm not sick of hearing about the health care crisis in America. See, here's the thing. Obama passed a bullshit, half-ass medical bill, then sat back and prayed nobody would notice he cribbed it from Romney, and that it was gonna fall apart precisely AFTER he left office. Unfortunately, it was even more poorly designed than he thought, and it's falling apart 4 months early. Tough Break there Barry, but guess what, your mess, YOU clean it up.

I'm not sick about hearing about the employment crisis in America. No, not the jimmied and fixed Unemployment numbers. I'm talking about the fact that everybody my age lives with their parents. Ok, not EVERYBODY, but everybody I know. I understand, media and politicians, that everybody YOU know does not. Guess what? Those people that you don't see resent you every single freaking day for making their lives harder and harder. You don't see it, but it's there, and it's UGLY.

There's a LOT I'm not sick about hearing about. Because we don't talk about it.

I AM sick of hearing about Trump, either vilified or lionized, makes no difference. I honestly do not give a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut about the man, and would no sooner vote for him than I would vote for a chocolate Eclair. In fact right now, I could stand to hear a little about the Eclair's stance on healthy eating.

I AM sick of hearing how great we're doing as a nation. Because you're lying. And we know it.

I AM sick of hearing about your damn evasions. I'm too old to be jerked around in any relationships anymore. I'm tired of games, and things are so much better for everybody if you just say it straight out what's going on and let us make a damn decision. Hemming, hawing and changing positions constantly just pisses me off, both in politics AND in bed. You're just going through the motions at that point, and I don't need to waste my time on a pathetic performance that degrades everybody involved.
