1928

The last time the Republicans won the Presidency without a Nixon or a Bush on the ticket.

Thanks to Thom Hartmann for pointing that out.

I myself like the bumper sticker that reads 'The next Republican president hasn't been born yet'

The post said there was no republican elected to the presidency since 1928. Wrong, Ike was elected president since 1928 and I see no reason why Nixon being vice-president changes that fact.

The post did not say that, you pathetic wanker.

And while we are on the subject, we've heard endless insults from you lately about how little other people supposedly know about the electoral process, and you didn't even know who Eisenhower's vice President was. You should read the part of the Bible about the beam in your eye.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 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.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

It Can't Happen Here

Trump has made his repeated promise to deport 20,000,000 minorities and foreigners a central feature of his campaign.  What does Trump intend to do with them?  History provides the key. And what history? The history of Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, when another great power, seeking a cheap way to victimize a large part of its population to benefit the majority race, also started a program of mass "deportation" of minorities, in order to provide its majority race with more land, more money, more of everything, at the expense of the others.  There was a word for this: lebensraum, or "living space,"  the notion that the majority race deserved what it craved so much that it justified any abuse of those considered to be lesser humans.   Hitler proposed to "deport" Jews, Gypsies, Slavs and eventually all other non "Aryan" residents of the Third Reich.  The Nazis soon discovered that deportation was impossible; it was too expensive for Germany, and oth...
