Kamala Harris

I hope that Joe has not made a mistake. We’ll see, I suppose.

That can be said of most Democrat office holders in Blue states, Elijah Cummings for one. In my home state with the exceptions of a few Republican governors that had widespread appeal, the only chance a Republican has here is in the deep red First Congressional District.

Chris Wallace: Kamala Harris 'not far to the left despite what Republicans are gonna try to say'

Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but he does work for Faux...

<sigh> Jebus H. Christ on a pogo stick. Remember '18? The Democratic sites and people I know are over the moon with Sen. Harris, even a majority of the BoB assholes have been close lipped and positive.

Think I'll go make me a pitcher of Kentucky Lemonade and veg for a while. Y'all don't burn down the place while I'm gone, y'hear?

I will admit that the selection of Harris will open up opportunities for huge gaffes on a steady basis by Trump.

She aggressive, and fast on her feet. She will eat Pence's lunch in a debate, just like she ate Cornyn's lunch on the floor of the Senate over the police reform bill. They need a prosecutor on the ticket...and they got one.

Y'know what would have been a hell of a ticket? Rahm Emanuel and Harris. The Rahmfather would have torn Trump a new asshole. Emanuel was Obama's closest associate for the year and ten months he was Obama's chief of staff. Emanuel is pretty well known in these parts for being an advocate for using all the words we have at our disposal. Obama loves telling the story of the time high school student Emanuel was working at an Arby's and cut off the tip of his right middle finger on a meat slicer. Before it was fully healed it was infected from swimming in Lake Michigan, and part of it had to be amputated. Obama says it left Emanuel "virtually mute."

Discussions on politics or religion are for mature folks.

With extended stimulation this response of course becomes habitual. If when calm he normally thinks quite well of you he may apologize later. But if there is no underlying strong bond between you, that probably won't happen.

I'm not going to be making any moves in talking to him for some time. He even called I found out someone else in the family saying the same crazy stuff. They hung up on him also.
I being or trying to be anyway understanding due to him just loosing my sister after thirty some odd years of marriage. The alcohol is helping make the dark side of his personality evident.

Anyway I will not be making any first moves. He just asked forgiveness last week for yet other rants. He is seeking professional help for grief at the moment. Even thou he has always been very crazy in his political beliefs.


With me looking at the next seven weeks of recovery after back surgery. Most of which on my back due to the surgery. Doubt I will be in any mood to discuss politics with those who want to argue anyway.

Thanks for the well wishes guys.

Same surgeon who did my neck last year is doing the lower back.


Wife just had her hip replaced yesterday. She just finished her first visit with therapy and was better then expected!

Bad timing on my disk blowing out!
