How to Best Get Rid of Trump

Well, there are people that no natter what Trump does as president will stick steadfastly to him and my brother is one of these.  No matter how he alligns himself with white nationalists and racists or how many offensive tweets or how many eastern cities he bashes, they will say that to criticize Trump in any way is to disrespect the president of the United States.  I'm still a little stunned when I hear these words from someone but it's how vast millions of people in America's heartland apparently feel.  We are told that the forty percent of the people who are white and married and over 35 and Protestant Bible thumping gun toting Americans will vote for him because Donald Trump willl somehow find a way due to election manipulation to stretch that 40% into a majority just like he did last time.  Don't these people find it strange that there is not one word Trump has uttered that indicates that he does NOT want Russia's help in the next election and in fact is counting on it.  Then we have Moscow Mitch, who killed the voting reform measure in the senate last week.  This whole bill is just some "conspiracy by democrats" to somehow ruin things for next year. 

I didn't see Tuesday's debate because they gave it poor publicity.  I know of two other left leaning people that somehow couldn't find it either.  My internet was out for Monday and Tuesday myself so I didn't have a chance of seeing it.  But we learned from it that Sanders and Warren did well.  We come to Wednesday''s debate and that one lasted two and a half hours, which is too long.  What stick out in the first debate was the four moderate democrats there.  What stuck out in the second night was that the thing was quite left leaning.  But no matter how far left the party leans anything is better than reelecting Trump for another four years.  Most of us can agree on that.   People want to eliminate all fossel fuel sources in ten years and also have free health care for illegal aliens just over here from the border.  They want to de-criminalize crossing the border.  Apparently we want to re-institute nation-wide bussing and one congresswoman wants us to kissy up to Assad of Syria.  I guess what I want to know is what happened to the political center or even a little left of center.  Joe Biden is looking better and better as a candidate with each passing day as the one most sure to win.  A lot of Democrats can beat Trump in the polls now but election day will be another matter, as we have all lived through in 2016.  You need at LEAST a ten point lead in the polls now to have a chance at an electoral victory on election day next year.   Joe Biden is the strongest candidate in the rust belt, the Great Lakes region where we apparently need the electoral votes the most.  Of course it will be a Gerentocracy no matter who wins with both candidates well into their seventies on election day.  Here is some other stuff I guess I'll paste over from earlier this week.

But to my delight the internet was working normally and I didn’t even have to reboot the modem.  I watched “Democracy Now”.  Also to my liking they covered the debate last night.  Bernie Sanders seems to have gotten his second wind and won the debate.  They said there were four conservatives on last night.  There was Hickenluper of Colorado and the Montana governor and Delany and one other person.  Budajudge made some intelligent comments.  They were talking about immigration a lot.  I wasn’t that impressed with Elizabeth Warren.  Then it was Stephanie Miller.  She also talked about the debate.  I had her on till she went off the air at nine.  I got my medication at the window just before breakfast, and I got my patch.  We had Raison Bran and I had sugar to put on it.   Also before breakfast at six or so I talked to Millie who wanted me to go and get coffee for her and offered to buy me a cup.  I was happy to get a cup.  I bought mine and her cup at the bakery and paid out of that twenty she gave me and fixed hers the way she likes it. 

.   I watched all of the opening statements, of course.  Joe Biden spoke in more simple terms than many of the others to relate to the average America.  Harris spoke in rather complex terms all evening.  I think her description of her health care plan was near incomprehensible.   Joe Biden just wanted to extend and fix Obama Care and add a public option.  The field was rather left wing.  Joe Biden was attacked because he supported the crime bill of 1994.  He can’t help it if Black people commit crimes.   He drew the same criticism with Camille Harris and her stint as California Attorney General.  Biden was attacked because of his stand on bussing and also his voting for the Iraq War in 2003.  We all wanted Saddam Hussein out of leadership.  We accomplished that quickly.  There were people who said it was too late to do anything about climate change and we should all just move to higher ground.  Joe Biden’s plan was aggressive but fell short of the pipe dreams of those who want to end all fossle fuel usage in ten years.  Mayo continued to be around outside and she waited for Phyllis to show up after eight and then she waited longer for Phyllis to leave and return with cat food.  There was basically nothing on TV.   I watched some of Chef Ramsey and various cakes that people were presenting that varied widely in quality.

.  I forgot that the Talosian episode on Star Trek featured the desire of Captain Pike to return to his body as a young man.  If God let us return to the bodies of our younger selves I could pick a random date like August 1^st of 1972.  Tim and Paul were both still living at home and all three grandparents were still alive.  Better still Becky Daniels was still around.   The Sheffields had not moved yet, which I guess meant that Willis was still around.   I’ve thought about it and any favor of God that didn’t involve my being drastically younger than I am now- - would be a favor in vain.   Right now I think I’m clinically depressed.  I’ve lost the ability to enjoy life.   “God” would be a better source of pleasure than some Talosian because his knowledge of our desires is infinite. 

I guess that's enough for right now.  I hope to pick up the blogging pace.
