--First off: A prayer for RBG. I have to assume that Potus will lose. If he does and if the Senate has a
Democrtic majority, she has to make it until mid January.
--I get pretty worked up with all the media when they start with "a new "COVID" record--in cases, in hospital admissions, in deaths, or anything else. Records do not matter in the midst of this crisis. People matter.
--You all know, don't you, that Potus disbanded the office in charge of the nations response to pandemics.
--Governor Desantis and Governor Kemp are embarassments. And, along with Potus, they are embarassing this country for all the world to see. The media is at fault, according to them,as their states implode.
--During the course of this past week, I came to believe that Stephen Miller and Betsy Devos were running the country. First of all they have had their Kool Aid. More importantly, they are smarter than Potus and pretty much get approvals for anything that further erodes our support of public education and then gets coupled with further restrictions on immigration.
--It never occurred to me but there is a strong argument to be made about licenses for law enforcement personnel since we do require licenses of barbers and other professions.
--Among other indignities, use of the words "they" or "them" really separate us from each other. The words alone are kind of neutral. When used with vitriol and venom, they send us down the road to George Wallace country.
--That itsy bitsy press secretary is a big liar and does it with a fat cross visible around her neck. That type of consistency is consistent (!) with the other shenanigans. If you or I lost a case at the Supreme Court, we would likely just comply. But this tax case is being appealed despite what the court said. Call in the lawyers. And we just say oh that's just Potus being Potusd.
--On a lighter note, since it is summer, the sharks are back and many people are wringing their hands over the sightings. Don't people have other things to worry about?
--Disney has reopened with the permission of the Florida governor. Who the fuck would take their kids there right now?
--I cannot even discuss that smarmy Roger Stone.
--I have a fantasy that one of these major sports leagues will not reopen because of the virus. I have no/zero sympathy for owners who are losing money. They wanted to make money and have made money--lots of it.
I have a bit of sympathy for the marginal players who have families to support and unlike the mega stars will be in a bad financial state should a league shut down.
Shalom
