Check Those Expiration Dates!

 Guess what! 

President Joe Biden got old.

So, he was rejected by the Democratic Party.  

And now we face the uncertainty of an open Democratic convention. Back in the olden times without an internet, an open convention might have seemed a good idea, but now with split-second analysis and instantaneous second-guessing steaming down everyone's necks, it's going to be a major crap-fest. That is unless the Dems get it together and nominate on the first ballot. That's critical. The other side nominated a criminal sex-offender, but they are united behind him. Kamala is the flavor of the moment. Hopefully that remains the case. The Dems could nominate Captain America, but it won't mean a fucking thing unless they unite behind that nominee. I'll vote for a block of cheese if it's on the ballot, if it means we save ourselves and the world from more of that village idiot's tomfoolery. 

I guess we just have to hope it's not an aged cheese. 

Rip Off

    I've never read that WHAT IF story but it looks fascinating!

    Will you carry out your threat to become a registered independent? I must admit I didn't know what "registered independent" actually means so I've been reading about US voter registration on Wikipedia. In the UK everyone is supposed to register by law otherwise you can be fined but lots of people don't register and nothing happens to them as far as I know. But in the UK nobody's voter registration is affiliated to a political party and if you want to be more politically active you can join a party and become a member.

      I have been reflecting on my threat and I am retracting it. I have a post coming up explaining my reasoning, but it dawned on me that such an act could be construed as a rejection of a black woman candidate and that's not at all. I was angry and I have cooled. Kamala already has enough delegates to win on the first ballot of the convention and so there will not be some bloodthirsty battle, draining resources and attention from the real threat.

A Day In The Anti-Life - Troll King

Image
[The message was originally posted at the now defunct Rip Jagger's Dojo on July 25, 2017] Trolls of myth are ugly critters than live in the dark and make havoc for civilized folk. Likewise on these here internets, we find ugly critters who adore making life a misery for honest people. And it's a sad fact that our "So-called" President is one of these critters, he might even be their king. This modern Troll King lives in a shadowy world of international finance and it becomes more and evident with each passing day that the dangerous denizens of those shadows have influence on the machinery of our democracy. If not directly, then indirectly by the daily denigration of communication and governing norms which have for many decades served to create the stability citizens of the United States and the greater western world have taken for granted for over fifty years, my entire life. I have been gifted with a life free of the rigors of true chaos which was the

My Pledge To The Democratic Party!

Image
If efforts to push Joe Biden off this year's Democratic ticket for President succeed, I will vote Blue to help save my nation, but the day after I vote I will change my registration to Independent. The leaders of the Democratic Party will have demonstrated that they have as little regard for the vote of the citizens as do the Republicans, so I see no need, even after decades of loyal support to continue to identify myself with them.  The latest round of back-channel discussions among leaders of the Party to oust Joe come on the heels of the end of the Republican Convention and are clearly keyed to setting up a Democratic Convention in which some way and somehow the candidate with 14, 465, 519 votes to be the nominee, or 87% of the total is replaced. That's an overwhelming number. He should under normal circumstances clinch it on the first round. He and Harris have accumulated 3, 894 delegates with only 42 remaining from the total number of 3, 949. 1968 delegates are required to

When Women Rule The Earth!

One can feel it, like the cliched hairs on the back of the neck, there is a palpable desire for change. It is only due to the now archaic nature of the democratic process of the United States that our federal races are so close. Democrats have won the popular vote in all but one Presidential election this century despite only winning the office half the time. There are more Democrats than Republicans in the United States and the expanse between the two parties only grows. The current totals are around forty-eight million Democrats with only thirty-five million Republicans and nearly as many Independents. So, it perhaps should come as no surprise that the energy of the Democratic National Convention is a wonder to behold. The Democratic Convention is like its counterpart a vehicle from an olden time to pick federal officers. It's not really necessary anymore, but it has found a new purpose and that is to showcase the desire and the capability of the Party to bring about change. Peop
