And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately: My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes. I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris. The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.

Furthermore, though the rank and file teabaggers are utterly incapable of facing this fact, the leaders of the right are working as fast as they can to complete the missing details, by deliberately triggering the sort of massive economic collapse that coerced the German people to give up their freedom.
I have dealt with right wingers for decades, and I know that you will never face this malignant truth, but it is true nevertheless.
Bush and Cheney WERE involved in an attempt- remember the "unitary executive?" -remember torture? -remember detentions without trial? -remember armed aggressions against innocent countries? -to institute a dictatorship in this country, and thus when we look to past dictators to understand their behavior, we are engaging in historical analysis, not a well financed smear campaign.
