Nebs Sez
~So, back in FB jail for 'saying mean things' about my own ethnic group. /sigh
Interesting thing, tho I miss my FB pals, I feel somewhat relived at not scrolling thru the daily horror show, you know..Trump, Biden, the endless corruption and venality, that 'virus thing' and all the idiots ready to go out and die 'For Freedom!' That shit wears on a fella...
Speaking of Politics [like what else do I do?] I'm usually pretty good at seeing the way forward, but all of the above has thrown all of that out the fucking window. I can no longer say WTF is going to happen between now and Inauguration Day, including whether there will even be one.
I'm thinking Bernie dropped out when the DNC told him they were gonna have a 'virtual convention'. That shitcanned any possibility of a 'floor fight' because there ain't gonna be no fucking floor. TBH, I'm not even sure if Biden will end up being the actual nominee. He may have just been the tool to pry Bernie loose. I would not be too surprised if he 'stepped back for health reasons'. Fuck knows, he's a bloody wreck and ain't gonna improve. Maybe the DNC can convince its donors that Warren has sold out enough to be 'safe'.
As for Trump...? He's def losing his shit. I keep hoping he'll drop dead or get La Rona and choke on his own sputum. But he'll prob just keep getting mini-strokes for the next decade and die drooling while sitting in his own shit.
I suspect he wants the Post Office to die because that would kill mail in voting, tho more likely it would kill his reelection. He's too disconnected from 'regular folks' to realize that the loss of the PO would outrage even his sociopathic base.
I also suspect he believes he can stay in the White House by derailing the election entirely. His legal advisors have probably told him that's not how it works. If there is no election by Jan 20th, 2021, his term in office simply ends and the choice of who becomes President gets thrown into The House. “I'll fight it out in the courts,” is his likely retort.
I do hope Trump is insane enough to insist on a physical convention for the GOP. That'd kill off a lot of those assholes, tho fuckers like Moscow Mitch and Kevin 'The Haircut' McCarthy would probably keep their distance. ”Open Up America!!”
On a personal note, our fridge and new lil freezer are both packed with grub and we have plenty of paper products.
I've been working on my Alt-History/Alien Space Bats/Space Opera novel and it is a blessed relief to hide in that world for a few hours each day. This week I plan to unpack and hook up the new printer that has been sitting in its box in the hallway for the past six months or so. Goddess willing, it will fare better than its two predecessors.
...and that is pretty much that. Stay safe, kids.
