Back in 2020 I said if Trump has any sense (hah!) he'll flee to Russia after the election. Obviously that didn't happen but this talk nowdays of him fleeing to Venezuela triggers me a little. All kidding aside, the real situation on the ground in Venezuela is horrific. Real Lord of the Flies type chaos and starvation driven desperation. It's not safe haven for anyone of any political/financial stripe.
On a less serious note: I'm all for remembering stuff, but I could have done without the reminder about Joe Fucking Liberman. ;)
Willard will never pull the minuscule Fergus lowering that a Harris endorsement might effectuate because he has a typically Mormon amount of progeny, each perfectly perforatable by (us former Oaklanders love to quote us some Jack London) chemically propelled leaden pellets.
Mitt may not be the very brightest, but he does recognize an armed mob when he sees one, or receives death threats for years from one.
And Marge? Sweetie? If we could control the weather there would be a tornado right in your butt this very minute. Think of it: the enormous, ominous supercell cloud with its terrifying funnel mesocyclone trailing out of the bottom narrowing down to a point right at your posterior, looking for all the world as if you were farting the apocalypse...
It is difficult right now, having a genuine curiosity about the upcoming election and knowing that even my usually strict news vetting process is in no way up to the job of parsing the motivated bullshit from any sliver of real information that might happen to be floating around the "information ecosystem"...
Oh well, I'll just keep on reading Twiiit (the alternate front end for Nitter, and the only remaining avenue for non-account holders to read content on Twitter) in between my push ups and my blood pressure reading to let my systolic number recede back below 130...
Thank you again for the podcast. I mailed my ballots in yesterday while I was grocery shopping, and up here in the 70% Republican California hinterland of Oakhurst, I saw two Harris/Walz signs and no Trump/Vance signs. It's possible the Fergus signs were there and I just didn't notice them, as I sort of block those out of my perception in general in order to live here and remain as somewhat sane as I manage to be, but I did start paying attention after I saw the first Harris sign, and there were no Fergus signs after that.

I wrote Santa and asked him for the Weather controlling machine 500 . The linted liberal edition. Know, I will only use it to help God when he runs out of locust.
