Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Treats and Bait

 So, my day off came and went.  The lawn was mowed, the trim was fixed, laundry was done, words were put into the computer, and I rode 12 miles in Burgundy - this is how I spent my holiday.  Now I'm starting into another 5 day stretch. Of course, after that I'm going to have 3 days off - another long weekend.

My friend Betsy called last evening a little distraught.  She works with people who have disabilities.  While she is only assigned to one individual, there are several others in the group.  Yesterday afternoon she received a call from one of the managers to let her know one of the group members has tested positive for Covid.  Betsy is now in quarantine.  She checked into getting tested and discovered they only test if you have active symptoms.  Now, isn't that the shits?

Speaking of the shits and being on a certain list, I went to my neighborhood Giant supermarket yesterday and forgot to pick up Pupperoni for the dogs.  For those uninitiated, this is what I'm talking about.


And since yesterday was a holiday, we got a brief respite from the vomitous spewed by the Idiot Jerk in the White House... well, kind of.  I guess he did some sort of press conference.  These things are never anything more than lie festivals.  His propaganda network (Fox) was the only one to carry it live.  This is what you call desperation mode, in case you didn't know, and is designed specifically for his base.  He is grasping.  Like a bad fisherman, he has no idea how to bait his hook.  He casts his line and those tiny morsels intended to lure in the big fish draw only suckers.  Or else they get caught in the bullshit rushes because he's too deep into the swamp.
His Law and Order message, like so many of his other messages, is not resonating throughout suburbia, except for his base.  He is warning about a pandemic of violence which in reality is closer to what he thought was going to happen to Covid.  His words harden only his base, and they really are a minority group.  We need to treat them the same way they treat other minorities until time has made them nothing more than a bad footnote in the history books.

    1. Everybody knows he lies, only his base believes him and their numbers are shrinking.

    1. That's funny. I don't know anybody who watches him, except brain dead Republicans.

  3. There's talk that his campaign finances are in trouble too now, because all the big spending didn't do anything for his polling numbers! Then there's the "thought" that he might spend $100 million of his own money on his campaign, but from what I'm reading he doesn't like to spend his own money (all the more so since apparently his net worth tanked by $600 million last year)! Poor thing!

  4. Well, you know he has 6 bankruptcies to his name, so financial management is not his forte.

  5. Cheeto’s been on a roll. It was hot even noon today and he had tweeted more than ten times. Desperate for attention and a smoke screen. The hits keep coming: one more book detailing his corruption, uncle Joe out fundraising him and the pandemic that does not abate thanks to his followers.
    Good.
