Thinking Out Loud:
You know Tim Walz was a terrible choice for VP when Jim Gaffigan can imitate him so brilliantly on SNL.
Much of the blame for our two miserable presidential candidates falls on Senate leader Mitch McConnell. If he had pushed the R’s into impeaching Trump after the J6 debacle, then Trump would have been barred from holding office back in 2021. Very likely the Magacrats would have splintered and lost influence in the party, instead of taking it over and pushing Reagan conservatives out. Why that matters is the R’s would have gone through their primaries and nominated a competent candidate (say Ron DeSantis, or Brian Kemp, or Glenn Youngkin) one of whom would now be running against Harris and very likely building upon a significant lead as the election draws near (8-10 points?). The R’s would easily gain the White House and possibly both houses of Congress. What could have been would have unburdened us from what will be.
Meanwhile, I'm praying for a divided congress and a peaceful transition of power.
I’m no fan of LDS theology, but I have to begrudgingly admit that they have the most impressive name for their sect leader — “prophet, seer, and revelator.” That almost makes up for the peach-faced boys on bikes calling themselves “elders.”
I love the convenience of Amazon’s Alexa. But in our house we have to speak about her using a different name (“Amanda”) so she doesn’t wake up and interrupt whatever it is we are doing or watching. I know she’s spying on me—a trade-off I’m willing to make because I am boring (she’s got nothing on me) and too lazy to get up and do whatever it is she can do for me.
