Cruisin’ The Coast

What a wonderful experience. And how nice it was to see so many old cars traveling the roads across the Coast.

Easy choice

You’re worried about Vice President Harris being unqualified for the position of president? In comparison to the guy on the side? There’s a weed growing in the alley behind my house which would be a much better president than Donald Trump.

A question

If you leave a Donald Trump rally early, do you still get paid?

Wasteful spending

If anyone wants to see a road project that is unwanted and unnecessary, just drive down Interstate 10 to Exit 41 in Woolmarket. There you will see an expensive, unnecessary and unwanted roundabout. Whoever thought up this mess should be fired, and have to pay for it’s removal.

Trump town hall

At a recent election rally, Donald Trump refused to take any additional questions and, for the next 39 minutes, he feebly danced around the stage. He has mentally lost it, or in political speak, he is in significant cognitive decline.

Delusions

Donald Trump’s delusions started on the day he rode down the golden escalator in 2015, and so did his lies to the American people. Several hundred curious onlookers magically became “thousands upon thousands” of worshiping fans.

Electoral College

I disagree that abolishing the Electoral College will elect presidents by the most populous areas. The cumulative total of votes for each party when all areas of the country are added together would determine the winner. I would vote for my choice of presidential candidate regardless of where I live, so would everybody else. And the election would be a lot more secure.
