Bluntness

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

Only 6 States

While some of you go back to work today, my weekend has just started.  Retail, you know?
I dealt with no radical customers yesterday.  That doesn't mean my day was hunky dory, twelve minutes before I was scheduled to leave I got called to work with a mother and daughter purchasing new blinds... for a house.  Seventeen altogether.  People don't understand windows are not uniform in size.  I had to 13 blinds.  They were both very pleasant, not at all demanding, but instead of leaving work at 4:30 PM I left at 5:30 PM.  Being a creature of habit, that eliminated the possibility of a bike ride last evening.
Rain was in the forecast for today... we got it last evening so I should have nice sunny weather.  The lawn doesn't need to be mowed because with no rain it is now a nice tawny brown color.  This is summer.
The released some new way of calculating the age of your dogs.  Using this formula, Lily is about 62.  In a year or so she'll be older than me and I'll have to start calling her an old lady.  Biggie is about 58.  There are times when he acts like he's 80.  
I saw where Florida hit a record on Saturday.  This was to be expected.  And as also was to be expected, the administration is trying to discredit Fauci.  This is a standard practice for conservatives.  They hate science since it asks questions they don't want asked, and gives them the wrong answers to the questions they do ask.  They are the party of the Idiot Jerk in the White House whose only goal is to dictate and control.
There is an interesting opinion piece in The Hill this morning by Judd Gregg, a former Republican governor of New Hampshire.  He is terribly concerned the Republicans are going to lose the Senate.  He references Barry Goldwater, who lost to Lyndon Johnson by a landslide.  Gregg is thinking the GOP may lose 6 - 8 Senators because of their alignment with the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  His words are meant to grab them by their shoulders and shake the shit out of them.  Will they listen?  Hell no.  On their own they are a spineless mob, standing is difficult enough for them, walking away from the Idiot Jerk is impossible.  He is their crutch.  For those who are too young to know, Barry Goldwater only carried 6 states in the General Election.  If this turns out to be a replay of 1964, which 6 states do you think will swear loyalty to the Idiot Jerk in the White House?

  1. Oh, you know the GOP will not let go of Cheeto until it's too late. They've enjoyed the power without thinking about the possible repercussions of their actions. Repugs only vote Repug.
    And yesterady a friend asked about Fauci and why he kept contradicting himself. Cheeto's crusade against Fauci is working. People trust the word of a failed TV show and doubt an expert in infectious diseases. America 2020. Ugh.

    XOXO

  4. I think he is correct. Even if Trump wins...I think the Senate is flipping. Of course nothing will get done because trump will veto every little thing....but at least he can't do anymore damage either. It would actually be very entertaining to watch.

  5. Damn I hope there's a blue landslide in November! In fact, my son and I have a bet on it (he still thinks Trump will get back in)!

    1. I'm fairly certain it's going to flip. The GOP's focus on greed and selfishness will be their downfall.
