As we all know during a recent campaign stop in Wisconsin Trump called Kamala Harris mentally disabled from birth while talking about the Biden/Harris approach to dealing with illegal immigration. He didn't say she lost her critical thinking skills but said what he said and took it to another level. Conservatives have memory-holed this since they're default voting for Trump anyway. A debate with a mentally disabled person should be a cakewalk for him. Why wouldn't he go for it?
Trump may well win. The polls show a clear horse race but if he loses the political autopsy of MAGA won't be hard to figure.
Horse race is right. Saw somewhere that whatever the result, half the people will be thrilled and the other half pissed. They usually are, but
ReplyDeletethere seems to be a lot of emotion boiling.
Repeating myself but if Trump wins I think we would have been better off if Trump had won against Biden the last time. He'd be nearing the end of his second term by now and we could all turn the page. Instead we got this.
ReplyDeleteWhat passes for news in the wild west. Reading paper this morning.
ReplyDeleteTwo cat cartoons - Garfield and lady cat on fence. Garfield suggests they go to the dance. "Why?" , she says - "to trip people." Other cartoon-huge pyramid, a couple of tourists and a gigantic stone litter box. "They say the ancient Egyptians worshiped cats like Gods"
Over near Yakima a lady had problesm with raccoons. She put a dish out and night and one turned into a dozen. They were polited and she put out more dishes each night. Yesterday she called 911, trapped in her home by over 100 black masked racoons. Scratching at her doors and windows. Deputies came and scattered them, escorting her to her car. They looked for a trapper but he wanted
$500 a piece. They called fish and game who said "Don't feed them!"
She stopped and they all left. (maybe to Yonkers?)
Keep your doors closed on warm summer nights. Imagine a skunk coming in!
ReplyDeleteI don't fully understand undecided voters. No political party identity apparently so what sways them? Do they go through life and have trouble making decisions?
ReplyDeleteWatched an episode today of some Muskie guide. Says it takes 1000 casts to get one. Tiger muskies in Tennessee. Whole half hour of casting dawn to dusk and nothing. Reality TV. When I was a kid the family would spend 2 weeks each summer in a rented cabin. Had a book called 'To Hell With Fishing'. Chapter on Muskies told of a guy that brought in a huge one. Couldn't brag - the fish had died laughing at his 8" hollow ground flashing spinner with googly eyes, squirrel tail, perch paint and odor attractant.
ReplyDeleteBasically you're trying to piss off the Muskie to get him to bite. Anger him. Might take 1,000 casts or more. Better things to do with my time. I don't even think they're good eating. Straining to have a bowel movement might be time better spent.
ReplyDeleteCaught a couple. One undersized. Odd thing about the rivers I canoed. Two feeder streams of the Chippewa R. are the Red Cedar and the Eau Claire. Only Northern Pike in the first and only muskies in the second. But both have Smallmouth. IMO, it is the underwater habitat, as both Muskies and Northern are in the Chippewa R. BTW,
ReplyDeleteclosest I came to being killed in a canoe came on the Bit Chip one dark night where they were building an underground cable under the river. It was like Niagara with pilings sticking up and cables strung here and there. Cliffs on both sides . No choice but to paddle right into, through and over the mess and straight down into whirlpools.
Because of the muskie's teeth and jaws remember reading you need a special leader or something.
ReplyDeleteMilitia groups wandering NC attacking FEMA workers. Whose side are they On?
ReplyDeleteWhat is their gripe? I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteSomething about 'drain the swamp'.
ReplyDeleteDo these people work? Seems they have too much time on their hands.
ReplyDeleteRead in WI some MAGA expert stormed into the voting place where they were setting up. Demanded to see how the computers worked, where the data went, votes tabulated and if they were connected to
ReplyDeletethe internet for further tampering. Lady was polite, showed him everything, place was kosher and he left pissed. Ultra high standards for the sane side, none for themselves..assho*es,
Sorry, we elderly are grouchy anymore.
Yeah. It's still hard for some folk to process that Unk Joe got the most votes of any presidential candidate in history.
ReplyDeletePopulation growth. George Washington got all 69 of the electoral votes. In those times, the second place guy became VP and it was John Adams. No long lines, no computers and the Pres had wooden teeth.
