Going by today's popular "judicial" standards and following it's logic for the next president.
52% of the Vote : Conflict of interest does not enter into the equation.
42% of the Vote : Compartmentalizing makes you a bad person.
The squidgy middle?
Constitutionally there should be a re-vote.
Following the standards of the two existing candidates and what is implied by history and the ends justifying the means Michelle Obama would be the Rightful "heir" to the "throne" and everyone would "rejoice".
Realistically.
If there is enough conflict of interest in such a decision then the third branch of the balancing act should step in and decide final judgment.
In which case.
This ass wholes opinion would be to veto the whole damned thing and call the re-vote.
Make sure ALL of the prison population is allowed to vote.
Make sure ALL of the branches of government have a vote.
Which means: 4th estate "pick" a "rock-star" or a "nobody" the "explain" the issues.
After that we "go" to "war"
So.
If you pay taxes.
Or that has been taken away from you because of situation or religious belief.
Or want to eat another meal.
Do NOT Riot.
Do NOT protest.
Do NOT congregate.
STAY HOME
Have a meal with your family and let everyone else do the same.
Have your accountant figure out how to make that happen would ya?
Like a last meal sort of thing.
But instead of just some people doing it.
All the people do it.
The tweet heard round the world.
Except that there wasn't one.
No tweets.
No googles.
No elections.
The "world" goes "dark" for 24 hours.
To honor everyone that has lost someone.
Just be smart about it.
Make sure you have a safe fire.
Or plenty of flashlights.
Just sit in the dark.
Talk to your neighbor.
Or Not.
Your choice.
But here's the real choice.
Anyway you cut the mustard.
A flood is always going to come.
A flood of friends.
A flood of enemies.
A flood food.
A flood of famine.
A flood of water.
A flood of vermin.
A flood of fire.
But here's the answer folks.
42.
Here's the question.
Who wants to be safe?
So.
Thanksgiving day.
Vote.
Stay home.
Turn the lights off for.
24 hours.
Honor the history of the world.
Don't add.
Don't subtract.
Just Play.
And if you have to to avoid a nuclear meltdown or some such other nonsense.
Let folks know so that they can play your favorite song while you do what ever it is that makes you feel safe.
But if making you feel safe means shooting other people or blowing them up...don't.
Go home.
Have a meal.
Take a shower.
Play a friends favorite song.
Or not.
You know.
Your choice.
But at the end of the day.
Ask the space station how many lights are on.
Then ask them how many songs are playing.
Space People.
Point a microphone down at the world will ya?
Or two.
Or twenty.
And a camera or three.
Then make a copy.
Post it on the you tubes or what ever.
At the end of the day.
Take a copy.
Shoot that damned thing at the sun.
Then,
And here is the really important part.
The fine print.
Shoot another copy as far out into the stars as you can make it go.
We'll do the same down here.
After that we'll figure out how to get the biggest damn supply run the world has ever seen.
And regular replacements.
Then hope that those are the only "shots fired" actually at anyone in WWIII.
Ones that we don't want to catch up with.
Or to have catch up with us.
'cause.
Propaganda Kills.
After that.
Hold My Beer.
'cause.
I've got an idea.
That might.
Really.
"Save the World"
Then.
At the end of the "day".
