A Simple Truth That We Should Not Forget

Republicans turning on Trump?  I saw a poll today showing that 82% of Republicans are willing to vote for Trump if it comes to that.  Add the 10% more that will do the same thing, but are ashamed to admit it, and the 8% of Republicans that will "change their mind" by election day, and you have all of them.

These people voted twice for George W. Bush.  They voted for Romney when he rubbed his wealth in their faces.  The voted for the guy who picked Sarah Palin to be his vice President.  What in God's name would make anyone think that, when it comes down to it, they won't vote for this race baiting carnival barker too?  They are going to all vote for Trump, no matter how disgusting that is, because if they had any respect for our country they wouldn't be Republicans to begin with.

So, those of you who are hoping that a lot of Republicans will stay home in November if the party picks Trump: forget it.  Barring a party coup, he is who we are getting, and they are all going to get behind him.  Great, huh?

Yea, it always feels good to puke; doesn't it?? I hear the pundits saying it's because the public is tired of the establishment. What in hell do they think he represents? It'd be hard to find a more establishment representative than Trump; silver spoon and all.

Yeah, they don't want an "establishment" guy, so they turn to a billionaire. Brilliant, guys.

Sanders people are saying they will vote for Trump, not Hillary, if Sanders does not get the nomination. Stupidity is not the exclusive territory of Republicans.

My younger son, who is in his twenties, says he meets a lot of people like this. He is a lead guitar player in a band (today is their third gig in four days- they play around the LA area a lot) and says he finds a lot of people who claim they won't vote for Hillary.

I remember this from the Pumas, people who supported Hillary in 2008, and said they wouldn't vote for Obama. So I talked to him, and here is what I think about this:

First of all, a bunch of these people are layabout stoners who have very little chance of getting off their asses and voting, even if Jerry Garcia was running. Second, some of them seem to be just a slight improvement on Trump voters, and the probability of their actually voting for a Democrat, rather than throwing their vote away on a Libertarian or an egomanical jerk like Nader, is low. And a fair number of them will come to their senses by November.

So, will this stupid attitude cost Hillary some votes? Probably, but I am guessing that it will not be too many.

I just deleted a vicious attack on my wife by Dikram Hagopian. None of that here, asshole. Bye with you.

The head Deadhead died in 1995. For anyone now turning 20, Garcia's always been dead. I'd be surprised if many people in their mid-twenties have ever heard of him. (Around 1995, their favorite performer would have been Barney the annoying purple dinosaur.)

Get in touch with the modern world, please.

Adam, I saw the Dead about a dozen times before Pigpen died. I pretty much know who they are.

You apparently do not have contact with anyone in their twenties. My sons are in their twenties, and they and their friends are very familiar with the Dead. I cited Jerry Garcia because he was the greatest acid head of all time.

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 ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
