Well…a few good, high quality polls for Joe today that put him up by 6 in Florida and that means that he has an 89% chance of winning the EC according to 538, and a 95% chance of winning according to the Economist…if trump loses Florida the game is over and we should know that late on the third or the early hours of the 4th…and crucially, Joe is over 50% and that leaves only the undecideds that trump could get and he would need to get all of them to even get close…okay, I know we on the side of good have a habit of seeing the worst and remembering 2016 when Hillary was ahead (but by about 2/3rds less than Biden is now) and got almost 3 million more votes but still lost…so we need to keep working up to the night of the 3rd and then be ready to take to the streets if idiot boy and his minions try to steal the election…but, let’s also take a breath and think about all the work that has been done so far…have a drink, and get ready for the pull all the way to Tuesday…we are saving this country and that is damn hard work. Think of how good it is going to feel when we kick trump and his cronies to the curb…I have the cocktails ready…

The dog ate my homework…
Well….with the “wet laptop” smear of Joe Biden that was found out to be Russian disinformation that was given to the idiot Rudy Guiliani to push falling flat because it was just so ridiculous…we now have the moron Tucker Carlson going on his show last night to say that he had a “huge” packet of information that would destroy Joe and “prove” that he was a crook…but, here’s the catch…he then said that the packet had “disappeared” during transit from one of the “major” carriers that deliver packages…yeah right, just like the dog ate my homework dodge that every kid has used when he didn’t do his homework…look, Tucker, I have one question to ask: “what’s the tracking number from the package?” Every one of the “major” carriers routinely e-mails a tracking number when a package is on the way…even the USPS has started to do that so you can tell when the package will arrive and where it is in transit…and my second question goes to his assertion that there is no electronic copy of the information anywhere…yeah, Tucker we are not in the 80″s anymore…everything has an electronic record…where is it? I f this “information” is so important, there has to be an electronic copy of it somewhere…so, where is it? Look, we all know that tucker is a liar…he even got a court case thrown out by a judge BECAUSE he is a liar and the judge said you couldn’t trust anything he says…so, another try at smearing Joe crashes and burns…I wonder when these morons are going to realize that you can’t smear an honest man? They are so used to dealing with people on their side who are liars and cheats so they think everyone does it…but not Joe…tick tock….your time is coming to and end…
Countdown…6 days til the election…
Well…with the election coming up fast, I thought I’d do a countdown post every day until then to talk about what I see happening and what the state of the race is. So, here goes…in the overall, it appears that Joe has a pretty good chance to win with being up around 10% nationally but, as every pollster says, it not the national polls that mean anything but the state polls that are the important ones….so, if we look at the state polls for the swing states that idiot boy won by 77,000 votes in 2016, Joe is up by 7 in Pennsylvania, up by 9 here in Michigan, by 9 in Minnesota, and by double digits in Wisconsin….so what does that mean? It means that I would much rather be our side than the repubs…especially since the Cook political report just moved Texas from lean r to tossup…and that means that Joe has a 50-50 chance to win Texas…I’m not sure I really believe that yet but there have been a few good polls for Joe lately that puts him up by 3-4% so maybe…and if Joe wins Texas, it’s all over for trump. Even Florida has started to turn for Joe in the latest polls that have him ahead by maybe 2% there….so there are many paths to get to 270ev for Joe but as the days go by and we get closer to the election, the doors appears to be shutting on idiot boy…can we breathe a little yet? I think so, but damn it…get out to vote to make sure we are smiling on the 4th…I can’t go through another night like 2016….
File an ethics complaint against Barrett…
Well…cripes Barrett is just sworn in an is already breaking the norms and ethics of the supreme court…last night, in her swearing in ceremony, she did a commercial for the idiot trump and his campaign by going along with the WH ceremony and then thanking only repub senators who voted for her. Isn’t his a judicial no no? Okay, yeah, I can hear you laughing from here…she has shown that she is just a political hack who is going to do her best to try to get trump elected and then take away voting rights and a woman’s right to choose as soon as she takes her seat…shouldn’t there be a way to file an ethics complaint against her since justices are not supposed to be political or take part in political activities? This spectacle has just shredded any legitamacy that the court had and makes it even more urgent that we win the senate and expand the court to 15 members…and then reverse any damage that these unqualified right wing assholes do in the next 3 months….then impeach Kavanaugh for lying during his hearings….look, the repubs are the ones who have destroyed the court by their bullshit packing and they have only themselves to blame for whatever happens next…and we need to just tell them to shut the hell up since they set the precedent of doing whatever the hell they wanted on judges, ignoring rules and conventions that have been observed for a hundred years or more…now we just need to win the senate to make this all happen…get the hell out and vote!
Can we have hope yet?
Well…I think this next week is going to be one of the most stressful in my life after enduring 4 years of bullshit from the idiot trump and his criminal minions….maybe just one more week and we can have hope…can we start that now? It appears that all of the lying of trump and his cronies trying to tar Joe with something, something Ukraine….no China…no..fracking, no…you get the point…none of these lying smears have stuck and Bill Barr has disappeared so what’s the next “October surprise?” It appears that even Putin and Netanyahu have given up on trump by pointedly saying that they haven’t seen any evidence of Biden wrongdoing and they look forward to working with “anyone” who can repair relations in the world. Yeah, does that sound like idiot boy? Nope. Oh, and my ballot has made it to the city clerk and will be counted on election day…so, now is it time to have hope? The polls have mostly been good for Joe across the country this past week with him being up almost 12% here in Michigan and Gary Peters is up by 5…by only 5? Have you seen the lies that John James has been spewing about Gary? Oh, and don’t watch Pluto tv until after the election…it appears it is really cheap advertising since every damn commercial is a political one and I got tired of turning it off when the idiot boy and his cronies come on and lie and lie and lie. Look, I think I’ll continue to do some more of these freeform posts since I need it to lower my stress level…I remember election day 2016 vividly and I’m not sure I can survive another day like that one….I just hope that my fellow progressive have gotten out to vote and we can eradicate the moron next Tuesday….I need to have some hope…
“we’re not going to control the virus”
Well…hey, undecided voters…and even you trump supporters…this is what the idiot boy’s chief of staff said on one of the news shows this morning…that they have just given up doing anything about the virus that is killing more than 1,000 Americans a day and infecting over 80,000 a day…they are just going to wait and do nothing until there is a vaccine or other treatments…but until then? Not a damn thing…everyone is on their own and it’s perfectly acceptable to them that there will be another 150,000 dead before a vaccine is ready…how is this not manslaughter? Or reckless endangerment? How the hell can anyone be undecided when this news comes out every damn day…do you really think that trump is a better president than Joe Biden will be? I just saw a cartoon that puts the undecided voters in perspective…it has a child in a cage being asked by a woman with a cup of coffee in her hand…”who do you think I should vote for?” If you are still undecided you are one ignorant son of a bitch if you haven’t seen how atrocious idiot boy is….and if you can consider voting for trump after he has killed over 225,000 Americans by his inaction, you are dumber than a box of rocks and probably shouldn’t vote anyway…geez…
Support the Lincoln project…for now..
Well…I’m sure you’ve seen the brutal ads against the idiot trump that the Lincoln Project has done over the past 6 months or so, but there is one thing to remember…they are republicans…and not the morons that trump has surrounded himself with but guys with some smarts…so that is why we on the left have to keep our eyes open when the election is over…what mischief will they be up to if trump loses? Look, I don’t trust these guys as far as I can throw them…they are repubs after all and they need to prove they can be trusted and have the best interests of the country at heart…and they have built a fundraising and media machine that can just as easily be turned against our side as against trump and his cronies. That said, what they plan on doing over the next couple of months is turn their efforts to the enablers of trump and those who have gleefully ripped children from their parents, destroyed the post office, and embraced the fascists who are attacking peaceful protesters across this country…and it appears that it will be a scorched earth program that will ensure that if any of these thugs working for trump try to get other jobs after they are done ruining this country, they will be outed to any employer who is considering hiring them and then they are going to run ads in their hometowns to make sure their friends, neighbors, and families know how terrible these people are…and what they’ve done…..and to show people like these that there is a price to pay for being such assholes…and it appears they are going to push for every damn one of them to be prosecuted if they’ve broken the law. Now, I can get behind that as the first step of restoring the rule of law in this country….it would be nice to see Bill Barr running a Taco Bell somewhere as he waits to go to jail for his crimes….but, let’s not let out guard down…one thing we’ve learned in the past 40 years is that you can’t trust repubs at all…and these guys are repubs after all…
Secret Chinese bank accounts…
Well….as the idiot boy tries to tar Joe with the idea that he is soft on the Chinese and has something, something going on with them and he should be locked up for it, it was revealed the other day that the idiot has a secret bank account with a Chinese bank that mysterious funds move into and out of all the time. This was not disclosed on any of his financial forms he had to file every year and the timing of the deposits and trump’s withdrawals are suspiciously near favorable policy decisions that trump has made that effect the Chinese government and businesses. So, we have trump lying and trying to create some kind of scandal against Joe when it is clear that it appears idiot boy is taking bribes from some Chinese entity…one of these was to the tune of 15 million dollars and yet no one in the media is talking much about it even though this lit bit of information was the financial records that the NYT has and that revealed that trump pays no income taxes at all….but, he pays them to China to the tune of almost 200K last year. So let’s weigh this out…Joe Biden something, something…lock him up…and the idiot trump is getting bribed to sell American foreign and business policy…which of these is the most serious and crimey? Yeah, you and I know which one but you can bet the media will both sides this…..cripes…
24 seconds of decency…
Well…okay, this is going to be a short one about a video I saw yesterday of Joe Biden talking to and comforting the survivors of the Parkland shooting in Florida in 2018…after talking to Debbi Hixon whose husband died in the shooting while saving many of his students, Joe starts to walk away and you can hear Hixon’s son calling out to Joe and then you see him run into the picture as Joe turns around and Joe give him a big hug…then Joe thanks him for giving him the hug and asks if the boy is okay…when he shakes his head no, Joe kisses him on the head and reassures him that it will be okay…it will all be okay….now, I’ll admit that this small bit of decency, caring, and comfort affected me greatly after 4 years of the asshole in the WH…please go out and find it…it will warm your heart to see…
trump really is a baby…
Well…not sure if this topic is going to be enough for a whole post but I am going to give it a try and see where it goes…if you haven’t heard yet, the baby in chief walked out of an interview with Leslie Stahl for 60 Minutes the other day because she was being mean to him and asking him questions like a real journalist is supposed to….and then the petulant little child went to his safety blanket of twitter to attack her and try to shift the blame to her and justify his being a baby…I’m just shaking my head at this one…not because it is surprising behavior for idiot boy…but as the idiot tries to shore up his support with seniors who are abandoning him in droves, he attacks a show whose viewers skew to the over 60 crowd and they are still going to show the interview that will lay bare that trump is not fit for any office….and I think will collapse the support that he still has among this demographic because they still remember how a president is supposed to act and trump just can’t do it. So, I really hope trump’s handlers keep putting him in situations where he can’t cope…and the debate tomorrow night is another one of them….keep it up morons…
