Joe Walsh... ”Pissed off about schools? Blame Trump. Pissed off about college football? Blame Trump. Pissed off about 165,000 dead? Blame Trump. Pissed off about an economy still on its back? Blame Trump. He didn’t listen, didn’t prepare, didn’t lead. He lied. He fucked up. Blame him.” Ok, I can do that! Was looking for the transcript of his most recent press conference and stumbled across this little gem.

At this point I think I have to let go. I have to put my ‘faith’ in my fellow citizens, cross my finger, & pray But basically check out until I deliver my absentee ballot then check out again until Nov 4th. Come up for air then check out again either til January or permanently. ( not a suicide threat I just can’t deal with stupidity right now )
Silver lining, My DD has decided she is ‘obligated’ to stay and try to fix this shit rather than moving over seas again.
But I seriously just can’t anymore
BTW when they are looking into Kodak’s insider trading maybe they should check out the shit ton of insider trading happening a little closer to home at the beginning of the pandemic and then with the medications and the vaccination companies. You know check in the insider trading of Family, fellow politicians in DC etc. they can all go to jail together. It still pisses me off how many people ( men ) do this ALL THE TIME and Get away with it, yet Martha went to jail. ( and I don’t even like Martha )

trump is giving one of his interviews this morning....
Highlights..
Daniel Dale..
“Trump said "one of the great doctors" told him of college football: "'These people are so powerful and so strong, not lots of body fat,' although you could take a couple of offensive linemen perhaps and dispute that...'maybe none in some cases...they're very healthy people.'"
“Trump said golf and UFC haven't lost anything "visually" with their pandemic setups, but basketball has, and also "the way they treated our flag and our anthem," and "I looked at it and I couldn't watch it," while with baseball, "I haven't made a ruling on that yet."
“Asked about NBA people criticizing him, Trump said some NBA people are "very, very nasty and frankly, very dumb."
********
“Trump said the reason he won't do rallies is that he was told, sir, he'd have to have a bunch of empty seats between attendees. "Oh, that'll look great."
*********
”Asked about China arresting pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong and why Americans should care, Trump responds: "For years, Hong Kong was making a lot of money that we could've been making...you know, we have the biggest (stock) exchanges...we have the great dollar..."
”Trump continued after he was asked about the arrests of activists in Hong Kong: "We're gonna make a lot more money because they're not gonna be competitive...it can't be with the government running it."
Random response to this trump answer..
“Did he miss understand the question or does he only think about money or is he just dumb?”

”Trump then called in to Hugh Hewitt, who also began with football questions. Trump said of Bill Belichick: "If I ever had a military battle I'd call up Belichick and say, 'What do you think, what do you think? Give me a couple of ideas.' He'd be as good as any general out there."

”Trump said he once asked "a certain highly respected senator" who is "the dumbest" senator, and the person said "Joe, Joe," and Trump asked who Joe is, and the senator asked you don't know Joe?, and they went around like this a while, and the senator eventually said "Joe Biden."
First I doubt very much if he really asked this unarmed “highly respected” Senator this question.
Second, this is the third time this morning he has called someone dumb which tells me he is smarting from the responses to his comments about the 1917 pandemic which really started in 1918 and WWII which ended in 1945 when we dropped atomic bombs on Japan.

”An economic crisis in Kentucky has workers and businesses furious with Mitch McConnell.
Joblessness is high, benefits are running out and local leaders say they need the kind of aid that McConnell has yet to endorse.”
I’m not sure why the people of Kentucky should expect help from their Republican Senator. Or I should say the help they need.
History has shown us the only people the Republicans in Congress will bend over backwards to help are the big corporations and the rich. The attitude among Republicans for those that don’t meet this criteria is “they’re on their own”.

”.@marthamcsally asserts this as a repercussion of a Democratic Senate:
"They're going to make D.C. & Puerto Rico a state & get 4 new Democrat Senators. We'd never get the Senate back again. And look, this is just the implications of this seat, the implications of this vote."
Pathetic.

I want to say something about Kamala.. you will hear a lot about her truancy policies when she was da in San Francisco. I was here and remember the uproar. from my viewpoint, the families they worked with were worked with.. the social workers would make calls, would go to homes to pick up kids, would work with families to solve the issues around school attendance.. and there were very very few families who actually were taken to court.. and again, I remember that it was a problem solving attitude but also.. knowing that kids who miss school for months are at risk for many bad outcomes. there was a lot of uproar for a while, but it did change the behavior of families and showed kamala was serious and child focused. I'm sure there were people who were upset and it may have been too big of a stick.. but these are not just families pulled into court the first time they had problems. we had almost no school busing in SF, so there were also issues around the school the families had to get to and how to make transportation work.. the low income area of town had less transportation options (new transit line there now). kids could not walk to school.

Seem's our impeached president has a new voice to add to the echo chamber. Good bye Dr. Fauci and Birx. From CNN: "Wait, by the way, the gentlemen -- you know everybody ... This is Scott Atlas. Do you know that?" Trump asked. The man Trump was pointing to was Dr. Scott Atlas, a fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution who frequently appears on Fox News and has advised Republicans in the past. And crucially, unlike the government's medical experts who have advised Trump until now, has adopted a public stance on the virus much closer to Trump's -- including decrying the idea that schools cannot reopen this fall as "hysteria" and pushing for the resumption of college sports. Several months into the pandemic sweeping the nation, Atlas made his debut in the briefing room with a new title: adviser to the President. "He's working with us and will be working with us on the coronavirus," Trump said. "And he has many great ideas. And he thinks what we've done is really good, and now we'll take it to a new level." With the coronavirus spreading largely unchecked across the US, Trump has called on hesitant governors to reopen their states and school administrators to put children back in the classroom. Though Trump believed his push would help woo suburban voters, some districts have increasingly pivoted to virtual models while others, such as some school districts in Georgia, have opened only to see a cluster of new cases. Atlas has been an extensive critic of severe lockdowns and publicly agreed with the President on all of those above measures. He joins Trump's team at a time when he finds himself increasingly at odds with the other medical experts in his administration, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx. Although Monday was Trump's first public introduction of Atlas, multiple sources with knowledge of the relationship told CNN that Atlas has been informally advising Trump for weeks. Trump first noticed Atlas on Fox News, where he asserted it doesn't matter "how many cases" there are in the US, wrongly claimed those under 18 years old have "essentially no risk of dying," implied teachers who are at high risk for contracting Covid-19 should "know how to protect themselves," baselessly claimed "children almost never transmit the disease" and without evidence blamed a rise in cases in southern states on protests and border crossings. "I'm an adviser," Atlas said on Fox News Monday night when asked about his new role. "I was asked by the President to advise him and it's obvious that the answer is, 'Yes, sir, and any way I can help I will do so.' " A trained medical doctor who attended the University of Chicago School of Medicine, Atlas has advised Republicans in the past, including Rudy Giuliani, the President's personal attorney who has also fanned conspiracy theories about coronavirus. Now Atlas will serve as an adviser to the President who works out of the Executive Office Building next door to the White House. (The White House declined to say whether Atlas was receiving a taxpayer-funded salary.) Several of the President's allies welcomed Atlas to his team, viewing him as a voice with medical credentials that agrees with their skepticism of guidance and advice from experts such as Fauci and Birx. On his radio show this week, Rush Limbaugh praised Atlas and said "he is countering Fauci." But Atlas isn't only seen as someone who can counter the medical opinions of the nation's top infectious disease expert. Trump has also recently grown disillusioned with the medical advice of Birx and has voiced skepticism about her ever since she praised House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in an interview after Pelosi criticized her. Two officials voiced concern that Trump brought Atlas in several months into the pandemic to diminish the voices of medical experts he disagrees with. Several of the health professionals on the task force raised questions about Atlas, asking each other who he was and what his role would be. Atlas appears to have settled into his new position quickly. He recently joined other officials for an outing at the Trump Hotel, has been on several calls to strategize the administration's response and even led another by himself, two sources said. He is also expected to appear at an event on reopening schools with the President Wednesday. But it was the message Trump sent by bringing Atlas to two coronavirus briefings this week that resonated the most with the rest of the task force. When the President initially revived his daily briefings, he told aides he did not want the experts who had at times contradicted him to join him any longer. Instead, he claimed, he would relay the administration's message that day by himself. (Birx sat to the side during one briefing.) This week Atlas has already attended two briefings, though he hasn't been given a speaking role.

One of our news shows interviewed Trump's niece tonight about her new book. One thing she said was that in her opinion if he loses by a massive amount, she thinks he'll just walk away and say he's done, America doesn't deserve him etc, but if it's a narrow margin, she thinks he'll fight it out, claim voter fraud etc & do everything he can to stay in the job.

Of course it’s Social Security’s problem not the Post Office’s problem.
That tweet is from a Trump supporter trying to make up a reason why voting by mail is bad.
But in makes you wonder what kind of person comes up with stuff like this.
