80 Days until the election on November 3rd
160 Days until the Inauguration on January 20, 2021
Okay, we got the VP pick. Several points:
1 – She used the term “flip flop” about Trump and Pence in her opening speech. (I love it.)
2 – Earlier when asked about her attacking Biden during the debate, she laughed and said, “That’s politics.” (Yeah. Doesn’t mean you can’t still be friends.)
3 – I love seeing how the right is trying to figure out how to attack her: “too liberal,” “authoritarian,” … Wait? What? Are you trying to have it both ways? (Ask Brent Kavanaugh about that!)
4 – A black woman guest on one of the news shows said she wanted to see Kamala debate Mike, that is she said, “if his wife would give him permission to do so.”
The last point makes me wonder if anyone can imagine Kamala standing behind Joe with that fawning dopey look that Pence has everytime he’s behind Trump.
Speaking of Trump, if anyone had any reservations about whether this man would steal the election if he can, you no longer need think about it anymore. He will if he can. There is no longer any doubt. His hand picked Postmaster General is busy dismantling the post office before our very eyes. Local Republican officials are helping out too. The Republican Secretary of State for Ohio says that there can only be one ballot drop box per county. Why? Who knows. It ain’t like it’s a law. He just made it up. Meanwhile, the Postmaster General has decreed that ballots will be treated as bulk mail, not first class. This means they will throw them out if they can’t find the person to whom it is addressed. They also are no longer keeping track of ballot counts in a log (ie the least amount of tracking one can do to make sure stuff isn’t lost, But hey, who wants you to keep track if you’re possibly grinding up thousands of ballots?)
Our form of government is being attacked. It is a full frontal assault. It is from within, and it is coming from the top. If you think it’s bad now, in four more years there will be nothing left. Do not be complacent. Do not say you can worry about it tomorrow. To quote the Beatles, “Tomorrow Never Comes.”
Both the Senate Democrats and The House Democrats have sent letters to the Postmaster General to explain his actions. When I heard this I thought, “That’s cute. I’m sure when he gets those letters he’ll jump for joy and say to himself, ‘It is working!’ “
The only thing the bully in The White House understands is force. He will break every rule, every norm, ever custom. Unless he is forcefully stopped.
Personally, I like the concept that “No one is above the law.” I’d like to see him arrested, shackled and taken out of the White House – right now. No need to wait. Seems that the Federal Justice Department won’t step up and do it. Maybe, New York? Next time he stops by. Don’t worry about Barr, he can claim he wasn’t aware of it. Don’t worry about Mike. We can put a dummy at a lectern with a Donald wig on; tell Mike to stand behind and to one side. Play old Trump speeches and that will keep him busy until after Inauguration.
Saw a guy in Lowe’s today. No mask, white t-shirt that read “Tea Party.” So surprised.

PS It’s an old sign.
I am so scared of the outcome of this election. If there is one. I’m 76 and never
Have seen this level of corruption.
I am so nervous it’s making me ill.
