Harris and Trump: What's Happening.. Content Warning.
Kamala Harris remains Vice-President in the dying days of Joe Biden's presidency. The utter disaster of Trump v Biden round 2 in July was enough for many Democrats. Biden bumbled and stumbled through the broadcast whereas Trump seemed cognitive and coherent. Biden resisted being ousted from the presidential race. Joe Biden has always wanted to be president so why would he step down, even with alleged mental health?

Female Democrat or Male Republican?
I wasn't going to touch on politics for awhile, but with only two more months until election day it seems like I can't avoid it. I had been inspired briefly by the Republicans and Trump while I considered reestablishing my voting privilege (an option I have) so that I could responsibly take part in the democratic process. The me I was a decade ago would have no doubts about doing that and would think it my honor and my duty to vote. The me today is trying not to laugh at how both candidates are the most ridiculous I've ever seen.

Biden's Alleged Forced Withdrawal
President Joe Biden’s recent decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race has sparked intense debate and scrutiny. In a surprising revelation, Biden suggested that the impetus for his withdrawal was not personal but rather the result of significant pressure from influential figures within the Democratic Party. This announcement has raised questions about the democratic process and the extent of internal party influence.

The Orange Jesus and The Apocalyptic Legislative Loonies
Soooo…. The Champion of the entire right wing has spent all the money the National Republican Committee had on hand. I’m too financially challenged to gauge what that means exactly, but if the NRC is paying for Their Champion’s legal bills, they have some collecting to do or Christmas 2024 is not looking cheery. The Champ has 91 felony indictments against him.

Demands vs Agreement
I think folks sometimes forget the difference between agreements and demands. In recent weeks we have seen politicians indulging in demands. It’s full out “my way or the highway.” Take that guy who lives in Florida but is the senator for Alabama. What’s his name? The washed out football coach. Toomy Tumbleville, yeah something like that. This poor guy really wants to make his mom proud. The problem is there’s nothing to crow about. Toomy has “religious” reasons for not promoting US military personnel. Since there are some 300+ military officers whose lives he has made more difficult, Toomy is making a demand. There is no space for agreement in his stance.

The Lost Art of Knowing
When one of the regulars down at Iona’s Salon and Nail Emporium gets to going on about how that good-for-nothing thing she married, only because she was pregnant and her mom insisted, is doing something she doesn’t quite approve of. Something like hanging pictures of scantily clad women up in his man cave, but no one really cares or even notices. She goes on about that all the time and he hangs up the pics just so she has interesting stories to tell when she stops by Iona’s every Thursday at 4:00. Being a regular at Iona’s does not carry much social or international import, as one might imagine. However, the same does not apply to someone who aspires to be the President of the United States. That office demands experience, temperance, wisdom, patience, formidable poker skills and perhaps more than anything else, the ability to make world-class errors, repair them as best as they can be repaired and just keep on keeping on as fairly as you can afford to be. It does not, and never will, require a thin-skinned revenge-a-maniac who is indulgently appeasing his every waking moment just so he doesn’t go wild doxing anyone in sight. Just because they never genuflected when in his presence.
