Mainstream Media

Would this current circus of an election not be the natural evolutionary point of that amalgamation of greed, deceit and avarice?

I had an epiphany this morning. Well, not really an epiphany, more like an affirmation. It's certainly not something I've not known for a very long time. But it was kind of an epiphany in that my experience had a certain sudden clearness to it and an "insight into reality caused by a commonplace occurrence".

Or maybe I just want to say something.
