War buddies

The World is tittering on the edges of a global war. Do we really want a war with Iran or China? No sane person does. We have certainly seen enough apocalyptic movies. Who would we side with, Russia and North Korea or NATO?

Rally comedian

“I don’t know him” and “somebody put him up there” is the excuse from Donald Trump for the racist “comedian” at his recent rally. Who is somebody? I assume they were immediately fired from the campaign. Did he denounce what those speakers said? Nope, but “the people of Puerto Rico love me,” he said from a garbage truck. Now more than ever, I’m sure.

Garbage

President Biden said Donald Trump supporters are garbage. The White House actually changed the wording in released transcript. Which is unbelievable, because it’s actually history. Mark Cuban says there are not any smart women around Trump. If Republicans said these words, the media would be hammering them.

Big mistake

I think President Biden’s “garbage” comment will lose Vice President Harris the election — even though most people know Biden’s mental functions have declined.

MSG rally

The rally was a disgraceful acknowledgment of the sickness of the Republican far-right base and not of average educated conservatives. Calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage’ and disparaging all those of Latin dissent and immigrants is general is demented and deranged. Maybe people should realize at one time in history, we were all immigrants.

Set up

Donald Trump is saying and repeating that he has a big lead over Vice President Harris. I thought it was illegal to reveal results before an election. He is either lying or somebody is leaking private voter data.

The dictionary

The dictionary defines ’liberal’ as “relating to or denoting a political and social philosophy that promotes individual rights, civil liberties, democracy, and free enterprise.” If you show disdain for being liberal, what are you?
