A bad way to wake up

A bad way to wake up

My alarm clock wakes me at roughly 6:45am every morning. It’s an unpleasant experience, especially when Morning Edition gives the GOP a platform for nonsense. Like today. Continue reading “A bad way to wake up”

You Know Who
The Former President

Okay, so I was going to use that title for Alex Jones because, you know, it’s appropriate and stuff, but now I have a bigger fish on the menu. How big?

So big.

Bigly.

HUGE, even.

Today’s festivities include downloading my entire FB history for all time. You can do that here. https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=your_facebook_information

Supermajority? Sure. Tell me what that is and I’ll believe you.

Supermajority? Sure. Tell me what that is and I’ll believe you.

Today’s critical thinking exercise: Ask any individual who suggests President Obama had a “Supermajority” at his disposal for any portion of his administration exactly what that word means. Continue reading “Supermajority? Sure. Tell me what that is and I’ll believe you.”

Zero…

Zero…

Four years ago today I had fear in the pit of my stomach. I had spent the entire year watching people who I thought were sensible dissolve into a puddle of insanity over almost 40 years of dedicated Republican propaganda prepare to vote away our Democracy. Continue reading “Zero…”

I’ll be honest…

I’ll be honest with you.

I hear that everything looks right.
Speeches are flawless. Tech is working.
People are coming out and apologizing for voting Trump.
I see all of that.
I haven’t seen a single night of the Democratic Convention.

Not one.

Why?

Because I won’t believe this nightmare will truly be over until I see that man and all his cronies leave office, until I see Joe Biden sworn in. Continue reading “I’ll be honest…”

Three months, three days…

Three months, three days…

I just finished updating the Presidential Primary list. There is one pending Primary (CT) and two are still waiting on final numbers (NY/NJ), but there’s no question about the difference in popular vote numbers. Even with all the canceled Republican primaries, we’re talking about approximately 16 million more Democratic votes than Republican.

Unfortunately, that’s not how the Presidential election actually works, with the exception of Nebraska and Maine. With winner take all races, there are some surprising numbers, not all of them good. Continue reading “Three months, three days…”
