At this point, "farce," is the only appropriate description for the current asterisk Administration.

I don't know the extent of Brandon's dementia, so I can't say whether he actually believes the stuff on the teleprompters or whether he's just speaking words that have no meaning. He will be written into History as the worst Administration in our country, to date.

Mark Hamill? Thoroughly delusional. Sadly so.

I guess whether Biden is written into history as the worst depends upon who is writing the history. After all, 154 historians ranked Biden as the fourteenth best president and Trump as worst:

History depends completely on whom is writing it!

Awesome crawler Chad, you got some skills. The rest is on point of course, but J.Q. Public is too ignorant to grasp the simple essentials. I keep having visions of Ricky Bobby in my head.

Thank you Hank. Though there are many ways to make the crawl, I actually "cheated" and used an easy online crawl making tool: https://starwarsintrocreator.kassellabs.io/

And thanks for the other comments. I agree, most of the public just doesn't see the reality.

Creating jobs? Why then are so many retailers at 1/4 the staff they were at pre Covid? Why are so main chain stores closing? About the only thing this administration across the board created is hardships

I wasn't planning on watching the interview with the evil Sith Lord Poopy Pants, BUT NOW I feel I must, just so I can hear the ridiculous claims he is making. Just in the things you mentioned there is so much to unpack I would probably need to write my own article to cover all of MY thoughts on them.

Interesting info about the Star Wars movies: The ORIGINAL title for Return of the Jedi was "REVENGE of the Jedi" and there were about 500 posters sent out to theaters with the original title. There was a large amount of backlash about a Jedi seeking REVENGE so Lucas changed the title. The original 500 posters that were sent out were SUPPOSED to be either destroyed or sent back to the studio. Of course, that did NOT happen with a large number of them. They are collectors items and can fetch up to $1500 depending on the condition.

That's *Simp* Lord Poopy Pants, thank you. Apparently, that short, 17-minute video has been "fact checked," and the Executive lied at least 15 times during those 17 minutes.

As I've said before, for him, lying is like breathing - both involuntary and necessary for his survival.

Love the bit of Star Wars trivia.

SIMP lord... please forgive my flub. It's amazing that he uttered almost a lie per minute. You're right, he couldn't live if he didn't lie.

As for the trivia, I actually found PART of one of the "Revenge" posters in a storage room in a theater I worked at back in the 80s. Sadly, the corner was torn so badly that it was worthless. Of course, back then I really had no idea how collectable it was (in tact). If I did I would have kept digging to see if I could find one that wasn't torn.

The farce is strong!

Thank you for writing with such good humor. It's really mind bending to know this is reality. Mark Hamill's visit with Biden is downright delusional.

I am glad you found the humor in it - that was one of my main goals. With all of this insanity, I find laughter, a lot of it, rather necessary these days.

As for delusion, in his tweet wherein Hamill proclaimed the well wishes to Biden for having been ranked as fourteenth best president, he also shared a meme of a picture of Biden that states, "Not a day goes by that I am not thankful for this man, and the 81,283,361 people who voted for him." It is beyond delusional, not only to be thankful for the tyrant keeping you down (Helsiniki Syndrome?) but to believe that that same tyrant received over 81 million votes.

Yes, laughter is necessary! I've grown to like memes. Previously I would never share a meme, but now it seems like the best way to deal with our imbecilic world!

Biden is in contention for worst president ever, the idea he is 14th best is absurd. What will be fascinating is to see how many people they report voting for him this fall. I can believe 25% of the population will be clueless enough to actually vote for him. If they listed it on the ballot "None of the above" should win by a landslide.

Well, don't forget...Biden won the New Hampshire primary this year by write-in votes - he wasn't even on the ballot. And I believe that about as much as I believe he received 81 million votes in 2020.

Which is why it feels like we are living in a nightmare.

So much of what is supposedly happening is just too absurd to believe! This can't be real conscious life!

Thank you for the clear understanding, and by incorporating the SW theme throughout.

Aren't we able, anymore, to find leaders who don't need to act in this movie?

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Having been a Star Wars fan from the time I saw the original in its first run in the theater, I had hoped to do it justice.

As for "leaders who don't need to act in this movie," even your wording exhibits, in part, why we are suffering this tyrannical tomfoolery. We do not elect "leaders" - we elect "representatives." Of course, the electoral system has been captured by the evil Empire, being completely controlled by the Uniparty, all the way down to the candidates you get to "choose" to be on the ballot by voting in primaries. Worse is the problem of so many Americans being under the spell of The Farce™. Despite all we see, they believe things are as Biden and his Administration (and so many in the media) say. I had meant to incorporate the quote from Orwell's 1984 that, "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command," but I got too caught up in the Star Wars theme and forgot.

So many Americans believe government is there to do so much, when our founding fathers expected it to be very small and tasked with minimal responsibilities. The federal government is not supposed to be involved in our day to day lives, nor in much domestically at all:

"The powers delegated by the proposed constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the state governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negociation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will for the most part be connected. The powers reserved to the several states will extend to all the objects, which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties and properties of the people; and the internal order, improvement and prosperity of the state.

The operations of the federal government will be most extensive and important in times of war and danger; those of the state governments, in times of peace and security. As the former periods will probably bear a small proportion to the latter, the state governments will here enjoy another advantage over the federal government. The more adequate indeed the federal powers may be rendered to the national defence, the less frequent will be those scenes of danger which might favour their ascendancy over the governments of the particular states." - James Madison - The Federalist No. 45

But most Americans believe the federal government the overarching authority in the country. It is not. We, the People, are. Then come the state governments, then the federal government. So the real question is: how do we unindoctrinate Americans who have been subsumed into the ranks of Simptroopers, and are fighting on behalf of the evil Empire to bring us all under the control of The Farce™?

I apologize for the lengthy response.
