late again…

Well…I can’t understand why I can’t get here earlier to do the second on of these after getting back here from the house at about 1:30…it seems that I really need to just decompress for a little while but 2 1/2 hours? I’ll try to do better in the future since I know a lot of you want to read more after you get back from lunch…but I am not going to talk about the idiot trump today…I’ve had it with that moron so I need to find something else to talk about….I am pretty happy with how the dem candidates are performing both in the debates and out on the stump…Liz Warren drew about 20,000 people to a rally in the midwest last week and the enthusiasm level seems to be increasing daily…one thing that I am excited about is the fact that every dem candidate has lots of really great policy ideas that will make this country better for everyone, not just the 1%, and that the competition between the candidates is making them better and tougher…while all the repubs have is trump’s racism and hatred…have you heard any detailed policy from them that wasn’t tax cuts for the rich? Okay, taking away women’s rights is another one, and making sure that lgbtq Americans don’t have the same rights as everyone else is another…have you heard any that would make your lives better? Yeah, didn’t think so…just remember that when it’s time to vote in 2020…can you stomach even one more minute of trump and his criminals? I know I can’t….

I like our candidates…

Well…you know, I get damn tired of writing about the idiot’s stupidity and criminality all the time that I thought I’d do a little positive stuff today on our candidates and what I’ve seen so far, I think we’ve got a pretty good group and the vision and policy that I hear every day from them almost makes the forget what damage that the repubs are doing every day…almost…whenever I hear any of our people talk, I am reminded that there are adults in politics who really want to try to make the US a better place for all of us…and they have real policy proposals to implement these ideas…like better healthcare for all, more taxes on the rich and corporations, voting rights for all, the end of gerrymandering, getting money out of politics, repealing Citizens United…you get the idea…everything the repubs have been working for to rig the system, our candidates want to do away with. This, along with humane treatment of asylum seekers should put a dagger through the “there’s no difference between the parties” nonsense that people have in their heads for some reason like they just aren’t paying attention. So, I am going to try to let myself be a little hopeful instead of outraged all day every day…I know the outrage is warranted with what trump and his cronies are doing to this country, but I need a frickin break….
