Random thoughts Friday, Volume CXC

  • Fuck.  It’s “too soon” to have a serious discussion about gun violence. Again.
  • Yes, paying more for butter and eggs because of inflation sucks, but when conservatives whine about costs, note that Donald Trump added $24,000 to each American’s individual debt burden by increasing the federal debt by $8 trillion in four years.  That’s roughly six times the cost Republicans claim inflation takes out of household income.  
  • The American Dream of freedom, liberty and prosperity gets wonderfully illustrated by the exuberance and energy of the Harris-Walz campaign.  
  • Notice most of Trump’s rallies are scheduled earlier in the day to avoid him rambling as he sunsets.  Trump, though, thinks his tale of sharks and batteries is now one of his “hits” he thinks his fans want to hear at each rally.
  • We welcome Dick Cheney’s vote, but keep your endorsement.  No Democrat wants Dick Cheney’s public backing.  The enemy of my enemy can be my fellow voter, but he will never be my friend.
  • Trump started a mortgage company in 2007, immediately before the real estate crash.  He produced NFTs as their popularity plummeted.  Now they want to create a Trump cryptocurrency, which signals the death knell.
  • How much excess cash do MAGAts have that the Trumps think they can make money in branded cryptocurrency now?  Now that the institutional scam of Trump Media stock is failing, the family needs to fleece the flock again.  
  • Remember:  Republicans don’t support guns.  They support gun and ammo sales.  They are pawns of the manufacturers, not the owners.  Their silence after gun massacres is meant to not offend the arms makers who financially support their campaign, and their constant drumbeat of fear and panic is meant to drive sales for manufacturers.  No one buys a gun when they feel safe; only by creating fear and panic of crime and personal danger regardless of reality in society can gun makers flourish.
  • If all you can offer after a school shooting is “thoughts and prayers,” you have no business running for public office, to which people with plans and legislation should be elected.
  • Any other campaign would have fired a staffer who physically assaulted a federal employee doing her job.  In the Trump campaign, they’ll get a promotion and an interview at Fox.  
  • No student in elementary or high school was alive the last time a Republican won the popular vote for President.
  • Speaking of students, Trump thinks kids go to school and “three days later,” they return with a different gender.  I know of no schools where this happens, and I know of no country where a man who thinks that should be in a position of leadership.
  • Georgia gun laws: essentially anyone not wearing diapers can own and carry any long gun–including an assault rifle–in public.  In Georgia, the 14-year-old was a completely legal gun owner, until he started killing people.
  • Maybe Hunter Biden did plead guilty to fall on his sword to protect the family from further heartache and embarrassment.  But that’s what an adult should do: take responsibility for his action.  No person in the Trump family tree would act so maturely.  
  • When Mrs. Jack adopted a pescitarian diet awhile ago, we started eating the “fake meat” chicken and beef substitutes, and we finally found good faux chicken nuggets.  They taste like they’d be great for a flight of Hot Ones sauces.   
  • Getting young people to vote is more than getting high school seniors registered.  For anyone under the age of 21, this will be their first Presidential election.  Make sure the college kids and young working people in your life–at home, at work, at school–have a voting plan.  They may not know what to do, they may be intimidated, or they may be disinterested.  Get them interested.
  • I really need to catch up on all the Paralympic events I recorded.  The competitions are amazing and inspiring.
