How Married Women Vote
I had to laugh when I saw this.
“This is not controversial??
I would say that it is controversial if it’s deemed so by those who read it.

Project 2025
Anyone who wishes to see an organized human civilization survive the next 50 years needs to hope that the GOP agenda embodied in Project 2025 loses at the polls on November 5th.

Cartoons Depict Our Future
I’m reminded of the cartoon in which a corporate CEO is looking out of his conference room window and sees the entire city and surrounding countryside in flames. He tells his people, “We have to monetize this.”

Kamala Harris Resume Summary
In a post yesterday, I quoted a boyhood friend who claims that Kamala Harris has no career accomplishments, and thus is not qualified to be president. Her resume summary at left speaks to that.

Questionable Social Media Post on Kamala Harris
Two friends from my youth are interacting on Facebook. One posted the meme at left and the other wrote: So true! Kamala never WON any election and yet, she could be our next President. So sad.
I’m struggling to understand this. Had Trump himself been elected to public office before he ran for president? I thought he was a reality TV show star, the owner of a sham university that was ordered to pay restitution to the thousands of students it had ripped off, and a crooked charity administrator whom the State of New York banned from the non-profit world for his criminality, before he became a presidential candidate.
To have never been voted into public office isn’t unusual; that was the case with Washington, Taylor, Grant, and Eisenhower. These were all military men, but did that make Ike Eisenhower unqualified to be president?
Kamala Harris had zero accomplishments? Wasn’t she a federal prosecutor?
Not sure about the quality of the thinking here, but I suppose I could be missing something important.
Vets Need Not Apologize for Their Patriotism
Henry Price writes: I don’t get it. I’m a veteran and no one anywhere has ever asked me to apologize for it. Who’s asking? Where? This veteran wants to know!
Henry:’ Don’t worry about it. This meme was made purely to inspire anger in extremely stupid Americans. Unfortunately, there are plenty of them.

Trump and the White Nationalists
I can’t comment on the meaning behind Trump’s new outfit, only to say that he has already cultivated 100% of the white supremacist vote, and there is nothing he could possibly do to lose a single ballot from the constituency that could be called “the hateful morons.”
You’ve got them all, sir. Every one. Todos, alles, tout.
Sure, Trump’s a Fascist, But That’s What We Love Most About Him
There are many mysteries floating around in American politics surrounding Trump’s popularity. Some people theorize that somehow, Trump has given us permission to be our worst selves, and that this holds an unimaginable amount of appeal to almost exactly half of U.S. voters.
That would explain the chart below, which presents the fact that our country’s top military leaders have, to a person, gone on record stating that Trump is a terrible human being and an active danger to our nation.
Half of us simply don’t care about any of this; we’re not looking for intelligence, honor, or virtue of any kind. Give us white supremacy and carnage at the southern border, and we’re happy campers.

Voter Fraud
The U.S. election system is far from perfect; in particular, we have voter suppression in addition to a small amount of fraud.
It’s interesting, however, that the fraud exists almost entirely from the Republicans. Why is this? Aren’t progressives just as committed to their cause as the MAGA folks?
My theory is that we’re looking at a combination of intelligence, common sense, and honesty. Felonies like these carry harsh penalties and committing them has essentially zero chance of altering the election results. Intelligence and common sense dictate that we abstain from breaking these laws.
Moreover, progressives by definition are people of compassion for others. We tend to understand that laws like “one person one vote” are put into place to make all our lives better, and thus we’re unlikely to break these rules.

Thoughts of Our Founding Fathers
As shown here, it’s impossible to imagine that John Adams would have been a Republican in today’s sense of the word, let alone a Trump supporter.
