Well…I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the type of changes in politics that have happened in the past three weeks after Joe dropped out of the race…and about that, I want to say thank you, Joe, for doing what you’ve always done…putting the country first and starting the tidal wave of blue that I know is coming…I’ve personally gone from doom and gloom to hope with Kamala nominated and the announcement of Tim Walz for VP and I think Kamala made exactly the right pick…and he is going to fit right in and show the country that politics can be something that can give people hope and make them smile instead of the sneering, hateful crap the repubs are selling…I’ve even gone back to reading the news again and I’m pretty sure we have this…there can’t be more of a difference between parties and tickets and I agree with Kamala: “We’re not going back!” Vote, and get others to vote…the trump and repub cancer needs to be eradicated with a landslide…geez…

Can it be hope?
Well…as I sit here now, it feels like the the blanket of dread has lifted from me and I have been able to read the news again since there is good news out there..could it be hope? It is a little strange that just having Joe drop out and endorsing Kamala could do that…but, it’s more than that…for the first time in a long time the dem party is not infighting and having pie fights and have closed ranks around Kamala with hundreds of endorsements and the polls showing she is bringing in new voters and part of that is she is directly going after the orange ogre and is crossing the country doing speeches that are hanging the demise of Roe right around idiot boy’s neck since he bragged about overturning it many times…how do you brag about taking rights away from Americans unless you just don’t care about them? That should be another theme that gets pushed on the trail…just list all the ways the repubs are trying to take away rights and what our side is doing and will do to protect the rights of all Americans…oh, one last thing…idiot boy has realized that Kamala would wipe the floor with him in a debate and has made some chickenshit excuse about it…what a chicken….geez…
Here’s the difference…
Well….with Joe’s cabinet picks emerging, it paints a clear difference between the two major parties here in the US…while the idiot trump appointed a bunch of assholes who thought it was a strength to treat people and the world like crap, Joe’s picks have been hailed as being just good people who really care about others and doing a good job for everyone, along with being some of the most competent people in the US. That is a comforting thought after 4 years of assholery, lawbreaking, and hate…that we are going to have good, competent people running our government again and we only have 56 days of bullshit to get through…it is so cool to see the light at the end of the tunnel…and to know that things are going to get better from day one of Biden’s administration…or even before that as the transition starts. One thing that happen on day one is that there will no longer be children in cages and refugees will be welcomed again in accordance to international law…and the DHS and CBP thugs who have been torturing asylum seekers will be held to account….would that ever happen in a repub administration? Never in a million years…and that is another difference….we have to remember that Joe and his policies are not going to be perfect, especially when Mitch McConnell is already trying to sabotage any progress that the dems will try to make, but they will be the result of trying to make things better and not just burning the country down as trump and his cronies have done. I am really looking forward to retiring the epithet “idiot boy” and never writing about trump again….I’m sure he is going to try to stay relevant, as if he ever was, so I may have to backslide some…but it will be refreshing to write about good things again for the most part…I will criticize when events or policies warrant it…but I’m pretty sure that Joe won’t ever make personal attacks or go off on rants and lie on twitter….and that will be enough for now….
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…
Starting to have hope…
Well…you know my interest in politics was crushed when the idiots of the country elected the idiot in chief back in 2016 but gradually, I have edged back into it over the past few years as you can tell from the almost daily posts on that topic….it has been kind of easy to find a topic since the idiot trump and his cronies have trashed the country so much over the past 4 years…so much so that I’ve had very little hope that things would get better since the repubs think it’s their job to make life harder for everyone who is not a millionaire…but, with 2 weeks to go until the election, I have started to have a little glimmer of hope that this nightmare we have been living in is coming to an end. but that doesn’t mean I feel good about the election…far from it…I am going to be uneasy until the election is called…probably by the second week of November….one thing I see as being different this time from 2016 is that Biden’s lead is much larger than Hillary’s was at this same point…and in many of the swing states, Joe is up over 50% in the polling and that means that if it holds and the polling is not wildly incorrect, idiot boy can get all of the remaining undecided votes (who the hell can be undecided after 4 years of the nightmare of trump?) and still can’t get to the 50+1% that you need to win. So, to win, trump will have to run the table just like he did last time and I don’t think that is going to happen…after all Hillary had the baggage of 30 years of the right attacking her and that drove her likeability to the point that was underwater…and that is not the case with Joe. So, I’m going to hold my breath for a couple of weeks and try to not think about it too much…
Can I have a little hope?
Well…with this entire country falling down around our heads from the asshole trump, I just want one thing…just a little hope that things will get better…that our side will win the election and I won’t have to hear from idiot boy and any of his minions ever again…that I won’t have to wake up and dread reading the news for the latest attack that comes from these traitors…like today…idiot boy and his toadies are fast tracking oil drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge since they can see that trump is heading for a loss and they want to get long term contracts in place that means they will siphon money from the government even if they never drill a well…which they won’t when Biden is elected…but trump is giving them guaranteed contracts as a way to grift taxpayer’s money…and that is just as corrupt as it sounds…the same thing is happening with ICE which right now is signing 10 year contracts with the private prison operators that work with them so they will get paid even if ICE is disbanded after the election. This is the kind of crap that has me depressed every damn day…I just want a little hope…I want to be able to wake up and think “what good is being done today?” I want to be surprised in a good way every morning and be excited to read the news again…but right now I can’t…even though Biden is ahead, I remember that Hillary was too…and then look what happened….I just want a little hope…is that too much to ask?
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….
These are adults…
Well..have been listening to the newly elected house dems and an immediate thought struck me…these people are adults and are really looking out for the people of the country…not just the people who voted for them like the repubs, but for all the people…and are going to stop the rapid decline we’ve had since the repubs have been in charge. Okay…now, I understand that only having one branch of government is hamstring them trying to implement their popular policies, but if we look at the long game…and I hesitate to call it a game, progress can be made by just passing popular bills on voting rights, infrastructure repair, and equal rights and having the repub controlled senate reject them all, the dems are setting the conversation for the 2020 elections where there is a very good chance we take all of the branches back after the debacle of trumpism. Oh, I almost forgot we have the added bonus of getting to the bottom of trump’s criminality….so, I guess there is a reason to smile today…not a big smile…maybe just a smirk…and that is progress…impeach…
