Pieces

-What’s with the exodus from Congress, which now includes Kevin McCarthy? Seems like people are trying to get the hell out of Dodge. Is there something developing that we as a country should know about? Are people seeing writing on some wall that bodes ill for our near future? What is going on?

-On a related note, there are obviously going to be opportunities to get involved in politics at the Congressional level. Who will emerge? How much money does a person need anymore to run a competitive race?

-Today is December 7, which might seem like the perfect day for some trigger-happy idiot somewhere in the world to do something stupid and try to start something. You know– because it’s the 82nd anniversary of when Japan started something.

-Even if some of the rhetoric surrounding a Trump second term is of the pants-on-fire variety, it will behoove the nation to seriously ponder another 4 years of a person who has no sense for what it means to be a good POTUS, who doesn’t care about the country, who only wants to exact revenge and prove to himself that he’s still a “winner.” Of course, millions of people will still vote for him, just to piss off Democrats. The thing is, they may or may not realize that this time around, once he’s in, he may do whatever it takes to stay there until he dies.

-Notice I didn’t mention the four indictments and ninety-one counts? I’m still not confident that any of that is going to matter, which is insanity times infinity. He should be on the sidelines already, impeached or jailed, somehow on the outside looking in. Or the inside looking out. Through bars on a window.
