Watching Debate Requires Martini
In my last phone call with my mother she asked if I was going to watch the debate. When I told her no, she was incredulous. “Don’t you want to know about the character of the two men who are vying for control over the highest office in the land?”
I explained that every day of every year is another episode in the sickening melodrama that is Donald Trump with more revealed about his cruelty, dishonesty and criminality. What can possibly be learned in a 90-minute debate that is unavailable the other 364 days of the year?
But by the time we said goodbye, Mom had made me promise that I would tune it in.
I’ll need a drink; I can tell you that. I’m prepared to light into that martini like a hungry bear lights into a salmon after a long hibernation.
The idea that this country is considering re-electing one of the worst human beings who’s ever walked the Earth is nauseating. I feel sorry for recovering alcoholics who will have to sit through this sober.

Do “they want no water?”
This guy makes a good point; people hate to look like idiots, and thus it stands to reason that we’re seeing fewer Trump flags.
Jeff Bezos is worth $205 billion, which, given the impoverishment of a large percentage of his employees, is obscene.
Prediction: American’s appetite for a convicted felon in the White House won’t last.
It’s hard to estimate with any accuracy how badly another Trump presidency will set the world back in terms of mitigating climate change. One thing, however, is certain: he’s making it very clear to Big Oil that their financial support in the coming election will result in the reversal of Joe Biden’s environmental policies that are cutting into the profits of the fossil fuel industry.
I’m not sure I would say that this is the true horror of religion, but it’s certainly in the top five.
Former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich says: Every day the Supreme Court fails to make a decision in Trump’s immunity case is effectively a decision in his favor. They’re acting like an arm of Trump’s campaign by letting him run out the clock on his prosecution.
You and I may agree with the meme here, but let’s be real: You could replace “Trump” with “Biden” and the MAGA crowd would be just as adamant.
