Go Joe! Go Joe!


I have spent more than a few minutes the past two weeks, ever since Joe Biden's less than impressive debate performance fuming. Not because Joe performed poorly. That often happens to incumbents in a first debate, so often that scheduling the debate this early was a strategy to get that one out of the way. At least that's what I suspect. The debate would be mostly forgotten now save members of my own party keep bringing it up. No, I'm fuming because some members of the leadership of the Democratic Party and some allies have been spending the days since the debate calling for Joe to drop out. No calls for the larcenous, lying, sociopathic, sex pervert and felon in the cremains of the Republican Party to drop out! No, the Dems are saving their ammunition for their own guy! The devout long-time legislator, loyal Vice-President, devoted husband and loving father, and successful first-term President is the one they've targeted. And it's all because he's had the great fortune to have lived four score and more. Outrageous! 

Joe has said repeatedly and forcefully he will not drop out. He's the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party which just completed an extensive series of primary elections to determine that very fact. He has won all those primaries and assembled more than enough delegates to win the nomination. I voted for Joe myself. I got out of my house, drove to the polls and voted for Joe in a state in which the primary is the only election he will win in my lifetime. My state is ruby red and my vote this fall for Joe, which I will cast at the earliest opportunity, will be a cry in the wilderness. But it's still my vote and I'm damned if my own party will take it away. The Republicans have been doing that in various ways for some years now. Stealing one of Obama's Supreme Court choices was robbing me of my vote. And now a bunch of Left-leaning pundits and celebrities want to light cigars find and in a smoke-filled room pick a candidate they'd prefer. 

Bullshit! 

Joe Biden is the going to be nominee of the Democratic Party and if many of my own party leaders can quit stepping their own dicks, we might just win the Presidency and save this democracy here, and order in the free world for a few more precious years. 

And here's a special note to any advertisers out there.  I am no longer watching any television show which wastes time murmuring about the health of my President. Nor am I apt to return if they don't stop crapping the bed on that topic pretty much immediately. 

To put it bluntly -- Shut the Fuck Up! 

Rip Off

    I agree that just because Biden forgets a few things now and then doesn't make him incapable of being President and it's Trump who seems mentally unstable to me but I suppose those Democrats who want Biden to stand down are worried that age could become an issue like it did for Ronald Reagan and Bob Dole. The age issue didn't stop Reagan getting re-elected but he did start to develop dementia while still in office. If Biden intends to carry on with his re-election campaign he'll have to accept that the criticism of his age won't go away because that's really the only thing the Republicans have to attack him with. On the plus side Trump is no spring chicken either so hopefully Biden's age will seem much less important considering Trump is 78 himself.

      One of the biggest advantages the Dems have in this coming election is the power of incumbency. Kicking out Joe robs them of that advantage. He's the only politician who has beaten Trump for sure. He is liked by most of the country and respected by more. He's qualified and he's proven he can do the job. I cannot get over their fear of age. If they wanted him out before now, they had a chance to run against him in the primaries, but they didn't. It's anti-democratic to back-room a new candidate, who will look much weaker twenty-four hours after he or she is announced. Foolish and it needs to stop. The other guy is a psycho, and we all know it. What's the choice?

    The problem our side has is we spend too much time worrying about what is best for the country at the expense of winning elections. I know whom I won't be voting for: The convicted felon who committed some of his criminal acts while seated at the Resolute Desk.

      The options are so clear to me. I cannot understand why people dither about it. Either you support a good man and excellent President or you support a sex-offending felon who was one of the worst Presidents in history, if not the worst.

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
