One thing that keeps me going

And hoping are historical events. Mussolini and Ceacescu (sp?) got exactly what they deserved. By the people. Can something like that happen here? I believe it can. People in this country have never known oppression and tyrants and could turn on him. Just something i have been thinking about. Yeah, deep and dark. I know. But thats how I've been feeling lately.

Not to get ahead of myself but..

If (when) Kamala wins this thing she will obviously be setting up her Cabinet and advisors, etc. Should Joe Biden play a role in her administration? I believe that if he want to, he should. The man is still an intelligent fellow and could offer something to her administration. Maybe as a foreign policy advisor or something like that.
Of course, the President may just want to live out the rest of his life away from the spotlight. After all, he's been there for a long long time. Either way, i support him and will miss him.

I got called a racist. By a racist.

My Asian wife and I were getting groceries at a nationally known discount grocery chain. Bag your own groceries and all that. Anyway, we were unloading our stuff out of the cart and Cecilia grabbed our bags out of the cart. One of them is a bag from a Muslim temple that sometimes tries to help people out by distributing free food.
The woman behind us then said, "Why are you supporting those... Muslims? They're a bunch of terrorists." I said " They helped us and others out when we were having some trouble. So I have no quarrel with them." She was muttering about Muslim terrorists and other people of color. Then we paid for our stuff and went over to the bagging counter and started to bag our groceries.
Some guy then complimented my wife on her Caitlin Clark Iowa Hawkeyes shirt. Well lo and behold, the woman who was behind us in the line just had to pipe up and say how if I supported Caitlin Clark, I was obviously a racist because the majority of the WNBA are Black lesbian women. So by supporting Caitlin, who is caucasian and straight, we had to be racist. I just shook my head and walked away. I guess I'm a racist then. I don't want to waste my breath talking to dumb asses.

I voted!

In case anyone cares. I was going to wait until November 5, but if there is a line waiting to get in, I could have a problem because of a medical condition I have. So...early voting it was. In and out in around 10 minutes. Easy peasy.

Why are trump for potus signs so big?

I've seen several trump signs around the Davenport/Quad Cities area and almost all of them are huge. I've also seen several Harris/Walz signs and they are more normal sized. I guess the cultists must want to show off their ignorance. It's the only conclusion i can come up with.

Blah blah blah

Tfg keeps repeating the same crap over and over again. It's obvious he has no plan for anything. Someone just shut him up and be done with it.

This bullshit about "eating pets" is personal

I am married to a wonderful Asian woman i met in Hong Kong and she has a daughter who is also Asian. And i verbally went off on someone who started talking shit about them eating dogs and cats. In fact, if my wife hadn't calmed me down, I would have likely ended up in jail for assault. So trump and vance, you say shit like that, it's personal and i resent it.

I cant sleep

I'm really jacked right now after Coach Walz's speech. 11:00 here and I'm ready to go out and knock on doors or something.
Sigh... it looks like a long day tomorrow.

Walz is even more of a "regular guy" than Biden

And to me, that was one of the greatest things about Joe. Governor Walz is a teacher, veteran, coach, supporter of the 2nd amendment in a responsible way, family man and so on. How can anyone dislike this guy?

44 acknowledges 46

Screw the conspiracy jack offs who are saying that Joe and Barack don't get along. They are twin sons of different mothers.
