Grand Ol’ Projectionist

Considering his own behavior, Mitch McConnell calling Donald Trump ‘a sleazeball and despicable’ sounds more like a projection.

No votes

If you think a person running for president without receiving one single vote in a primary is a worthy candidate, then you’re delusional.

Electoral College

It is amazing the huge, widespread, continued and ongoing misunderstanding of the purpose of the Electoral College system. The sole purpose of those opposed to the Electoral College system is to insure that their party wins each and every presidential election. Do you really want California to decide who is elected president? The only good candidate out there is Mickey Mouse.

He’s a felon

A felon out on bail awaiting sentencing and facing additional felony charges is running for president. Try to wrap your head around that. There is a reason Republicans keep their base angry, it shields them from reality.

Misinformation

We have seen all kinds of misinformation, conspiracy theories, and outright lies everywhere for several years. In the old days, we called it false rumors and generally looked upon those spreading B.S. as abnormal. Now it has become so bad that it does cause great harm to many people, as is the case with many disaster victims.

So many secrets

Donald Trump won’t take independent medical and cognitive exams and reveal their results to us to show whether he is fit to withstand the rigors of the presidency for another 4 years. He won’t reveal his finances and taxes to show whether he is as successful and honest as he brags he is. He has “a concept of a plan” to replace the Affordable Care Act, but he won’t say what it is. He won’t even let us see what he looks like without makeup. He is the most secretive of public figures. That should make us all uneasy.

New connector

The Popp’s Ferry extension to 90 will be a slow death to businesses along Beauvoir.
