September 2020

9/1

Let me try to list all the Trump crazy from today

· Soup. He went on a rant about hose the anarchists were carrying cans of soup because they are easier to throw than bricks.

· Rumor has it, he is the victim of several min-strokes, a fact they have kept concealed from the American Public, thus leading to the new nickname: “Strokeahontas.”

• #TrumpCancelsFootball is trending.

· Trump touring some wreckage in an American city while some student group calls it “Trump Touring What Biden will do to America”?

Yeah…crazy day for the soon to be former Commander-in-chief.

9/2

I can’t believe I missed the top 2 items from yesterday’s crazy.

· Trump compared the Jacob Blake shooting to a golfer choking on a 3-foot putt…poor choice of words on top of a tone-deaf assessment, plus Trump doesn’t even make his 3-foot putts, he just calls it a gimme. He does it from further out, so I hear.

· That people coming from dark shadows are controlling Biden. These people are controlling the streets and that thugs in dark uniforms are on a plane involved in a secret plot to damage the RNC.

· Today, Trump had jokingly pimped out Sarah Sanders to Kim Jon Un after he caught her eye.

· People losing their minds over a Nancy Pelosi blowout…like it really matters.

9/3

Atlantic article about how Trump has no respect for the military, no understanding of service or sacrifice or duty or why anyone would serve a cause greater than themselves…I mean, I’d never say the stuff that he says…I’d have a lot more tact and sense but he doesn’t think fallen soldiers are heroes and he thinks people who die or are captured are suckers and losers. It’s not a joke, it’s not an act. He literally does not have the depth of feeling to get it.

And BTW…every time I see him deliver a speech, I feel like he’s just winging it…he is not a good speaker, on top of everything else.

9/4

The “Trump hates the military” day goes on…some external corroboration…it’s pissing A LOT of people off. I know I missed something yesterday…. he was making fun of Biden for wearing a mask (?).

9/5

Backlash and denial over the Atlantic article. One spin: he didn’t mean it, he’s just an asshole…it’s an interesting take.

9/6

James Woods is trash and while Videodrome is an awesome flick, they could remake it with virtually anyone…

Trump armada boats sink.

9/7

Kamala Harris wearing Chuck Taylors and I am here for it.

I am finally cracking White Fragility and holy fuck, all of us (white people) need to read it.

9/8

Trump campaign running out of cash, probably due to malfeasance. Michael Cohen speculating that if Trump loses he’d resign so Pence could pardon him…. but that would mean getting pardoned before he’s charged…Just don’t see it. Plus, he still has to lose and that’s definitely no guarantee, tho Biden is looking better and better.

9/9

The big Trump news today is that Trump admitted in a Bob Woodward interview that he wanted to play down the seriousness of the coronavirus. He knew it was worse than the flu but he claims he didn’t want anyone to panic. Meanwhile, he dismissed it in front of the public and downplayed it and demanded that things reopen. And goddamn if this isn’t the 1000 ^th last straw. It’s fucking worse than Watergate. Nobody died in Watergate and Nixon resigned. This is seriously “what the fuck???”

Friday, September 11, 2020

I didn’t post any 9-11 stuff today and maybe that’s wrong but I’m seeing the societal hypocrisy about how/whose deaths we care about so let’s no lose our minds “never forgetting” 9-11.

9/12/20

Trump’s numbers go down with fallout from the Woodward interview. I still don’t feel it’s a slam dunk. FLA is a big deal and we could know the winner on Election Night if that state is called for Biden. But they haven’t been useful in a while.

9/14/20

This fucken day…

Federal judge in PA ruled mask mandate is unconstitutional and people are actually cheering this. Trump claiming the wood in the forest is like dynamite… “Exploding trees.”

South Dakota Attorney General drunk driving hit and killed a man on the way home from a Trump rally.

ICE detention facility in GA performed mass (involuntary) hysterectomies.

I mean, that’s all bad enough.

9/15/20

Yeah…same atrocities as yesterday. Quick survey of Twitter…Trump Town Hall is apparently not his forte. #HerdMentality is trending. Freudian slip if I’ve ever heard one…

9/16

Oh, I’m getting really short with the anti-maskers.

“It’s a precaution to protect others. It’s not painful. It’s not difficult. It’s a selfless act.”

Somebody responded with a meme that said “Good Slave Code”. I screenshotted.

My response: “It’s a mask. This is hyperbole.”

I’m spending a lot of my online time (wasting, really) defining things.

Sara Gideon up on Susan Collins in Maine!!! 54-42. Trump saying Covid numbers f’ed up because of Blue States. The vaccine won’t be here as soon as Trump said but of course he is blaming someone else for being “confused” by saying that. Because that doesn’t benefit him and it’s easier to blame someone else.

9/17

Ok…so news…Trump threatening an Executive Order about the teaching of history. Instead of the 1619 Project he wants the 1776 Project. A nice little “fuck you” to Black people and anyone who doesn’t belong, in his eyes. What a fucker.

Biden is crushing a town hall…

Arizona is now “Leaning Democrat.” Which is good for Biden. Hold the Hillary states and pick up a battleground or two. The Trump exhaustion is even getting to (R) Michael Steele, who questions why we have to beg someone to wear a mask to save their dumb ass. It’s breathtaking. 10-12 years ago, I hated this guy. Today, he’s like…less hateful.

Friday, 9/18/2020

Let’s get this out of the way.

RBG died. 87 years old. Pancreatic cancer. Worst fears realized.

Mitch McConnell didn’t even wait a day to declare that the Senate will vote on any nominee Trump puts up. The hypocrisy (and the ghoulishness) is staggering. More to come in the following days….

9/19/20

Phew…didn’t go too deep into the RBG stuff…it’s ugly, tho…it did cause the fundraising to get cranked up.

9/20

Thoughts: people actually trying to compare abortion to Covid restrictions—complaining about the govt. making laws on women’s bodies to the restrictions for Covid-19.

Could we be a little less dumb???

Lindsey Graham twisting himself into trying to explain away why we must confirm a nominee right away. When he was all-in for holding back Obama’s nominee.

And the usual 3^rd party vote nonsense. Look: you don’t like either of them? Since when does that come into play? It’s not a marriage, it’s an election. Vote for the one who better reflects your priorities.

9/22

Romney will support Trump’s SCOTUS pick. We are well on our way to a 6-3 Court. But on the bright side, RBG’s death may be the Senate/Presidential tipping point.

9/23

The forces of darkness are at play here. Breonna Taylor’s killers (cops) are not being charged, protesters are being arrested in SDF. The whole thing smacks of racism and evil and it’s never getting better. Trump fans the flames. Encourages violence on journalists. Doesn’t agree to a peaceful transition of power, toothless Executive Order re: women’s reproductive rights. Eric Trump must testify by October 7. Fauci smacks down Rand Paul.

9/24

Lindsey Graham bitching about his opponent outraising him because people hate Lindsey Graham.

Trump faced chants of “vote him out” yelled very loudly as RBG lay in repose at the Supreme Court.

9/26

Amy Coney Barrett, who belongs to a right-wing sexist sect called People of Praise (not to be confused with People of Hope, who inspired The Handmaid’s Tale) is Trump’s pick for SCOTUS. No matter how hard the questions, how much we bitch or whatever, there is not much we can do to stop this. Trump doesn’t even try to hide his power grab. Even if Biden is elected, she’ll probably be there. Talk of expanding the Court to 11 or 15 to counteract this. But even that, I don’t see happening. But 1^st things 1 ^st: need Biden to win. It all becomes moot if he doesn’t.

9/27

Trump taxes for 20 years shows he lost money way more than he made, and he only paid $750 in Federal taxes and paid no income taxes for 10 of the last 15 years. Chronic losses from a guy who is supposed to be a successful businessman. It just confirms what everyone has already suspected. It doesn’t substantially change anyone’s mind. BTW, Nixon is the reason candidate release their tax records…

9/29

#DebateNight Wow. Trump was interrupting and being coarse and crude and said proud boys “Stand back and stand by.” And he railed against absentee ballots and against the teaching of Black History and how Black people have done so well under him and didn’t even let Biden get through a statement about his dead son.

It was awful, but I did get a Bingo! about halfway through.

9/30

Trump trying to spin the debate but he can’t run from the fact that he came off like a yelling blustering idiot who couldn’t bring himself to condemn white supremacists. Ya know: Fuck Nazis, fuck the Klan, fuck the proud boys. Proud boys are really proud to have Trump telling them to “stand back and stand by,” even incorporating that in their logo. Ugh. Please, November 3, we need a change…
