Are you better off than you were four years ago?



Remember that question from Ronald Reagan?

There are forty million unemployed Americans, and the number is climbing every day.

Huge demonstrations in cities all over the country are met with violence from the authorities, while at the same time armed right wing terrorists are allowed to invade our State capitols without any consequence.

The country, as we all know, is teetering on the brink of depression.

One man has alienated us from all our allies, while encouraging the behavior of the world's dictators, leaving citizens of other nations to both despise and laugh at us.

Trillions of dollars are stolen from the nation's resources to fatten the fortunes of the rich.

A party that screams about budget deficits every time a Democrat is in the White House is now running up an almost unbelievable annual deficit that is going to amount to five trillion dollars.

Open corruption and criminality is an every day occurrence in the White House; and a despicable criminal is allowed to use the Justice Department to crush the leader's enemies.

And the Republican party goes on, lying and smearing and raging about its opponents, trying to find a way to convince voters one more time that having the country torn apart in every way is preferable to responsible government.

Our entire nation is now a failed State, with a totally dysfunctional government, all brought about by the greed and hatred of one political party.

Are you better off than you were four years ago?  Four years ago, however cynical you were, could you imagine being in this place today?

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

Image
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...
