Optimism?

I can admit when I am wrong. It doesn’t happen often (that is sarcasm, it happens constantly) but when it does I can fess up to it.

When the media was going on and on about Joe Biden dropping out of the race I was very much a pissed off red head. No way. We held the primary. He won. That’s it. Yes he is old, but the nazi orange shit clown is old too and Joe is WAY more stable than that putz was even in his prime. I wanted Joe to stay in the race.

Then he dropped out. Shit. That’s when something I didn’t expect happened. Kamala Harris stepped up and somehow… magically… unified the entire party. Suddenly we were all on the same page and ready to go. Had that ever happened in my lifetime? Maybe late in Obama’s first run we might have felt something like this, but I don’t think it was this intense. Maybe it’s a social media echo chamber kind of thing where the algorithms are only bringing me people I agree with (yes, I know that’s a big part of this) but come one, folks. The transition from the Biden campaign to the Harris campaign was electric. It felt GREAT.

I will admit it. I was wrong about wanting Biden to stay in the race. Given what we know now, that would have been the wrong move.

Now we are adding Tim Walz to the ticket as Harris’ running mate and that unified feeling has intensified times a billion. Where has this guy been all of our lives? I feel so good about the state of things right now that I could almost be described as… I don’t want to say it but… I could almost be described as feeling patriotic. Almost. Who the hell saw that coming?

Harris/Walz in 2024. I might want to throw some more money at them. Bring it on!

Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

This morning I did what might be the most bad ass thing I’ve ever done. I was in the bathroom, getting ready for my day. I looked down at the floor and saw a spider running toward me. I was barefoot. He was moving really fast. I didn’t have time to pick something up so… I stepped on it with bare feet.

Like I said… bad ass.

Vice President Harris picked her running mate. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. He used to be a high school teacher. I think that is outstanding. I think that’s the kind of thing we need. He also never committed treason and tried to overthrow the Federal Government. I think that makes him a good choice.

The Smashing Pumpkins released a new album this week. I really did not like the last couple. I tried. I really did. I just couldn’t get into them. This one though… I’ve listened to seven of the 10 songs so far this morning and it’s really good. I’m enjoying this record a lot.

I did not get a chance to play any guitar this morning before work. I just procrastinated and ran out of time. I wanted to, but I failed. I won’t have time tomorrow morning, so let’s hope for better time management on Thursday. I did take a couple of pictures though. One is basically yesterday’s photo a day picture taken from the opposite angle. How creative of me?

Finally, in closing… a cat.

Too Good Not to Share

I saw this on Threads today and I think it is too good not to share. It’s very fitting.

This is the post where I first saw it, but there is a comment stating that the person who posted it did not create it… so I don’t know who to give credit for it. Sorry.

January Plans

Back in January 2009 when Barak Obama was inaugurated I felt like I should have been there to celebrate with him and thousands of my closest friends. In January 2021 when Joe Biden was inaugurated I felt like I should be there cheering on the fact that the orange shit clown lost and the USA was saved for at least a few years.

I didn’t go on either occasion. I honestly didn’t try, even though I really would have liked to have been there.

In January 2025 WHEN Kamala Harris is inaugurated I am really going to want to be there to celebrate with her and thousands of my closest friends.

We already have a trip planned for that month. Our trip does not include January 20th though. It’s a week later. Washington, DC is far enough away that I couldn’t go there for the day and then go home that same day. I would have to go down on Sunday, attend the inauguration on Monday, and then drive home on Tuesday. Two vacation days in the week before I go on vacation for a week… that would be a tough sell. WHEN she wins the election… I might look into the possibility of it though. Even if I have to sleep in the car because I probably won’t be able to get a hotel room in the city.

We’ll see, my friends… we’ll see.

One Tiny Political Thought

I just felt the need to jot down this one little thought on the 2024 Presidential election so that someday in the future I might find it here and remember what I was feeling at this particular moment in history.

Eight years ago I was definitely ready for the United States to have a woman President.

Today, I am even more ready for the United States to have a woman President.

Like I said, just writing that down and sending it off to the universe just so that it’s around for future reference.

Thanks for indulging me.

Unity and Stuff

So… Biden is dropping out of the presidential race. He endorsed Vice President Harris. I don’t know how that is going to work as far as the convention and the nomination process will work over the next few weeks but…

I was really pissed off and feeling like the universe was kicking me while I was down…

But then…

Depression turned to anger which then turned to passionate determination.

Kamala Harris is going to kick the shit out of that nazi fuck. She’s going to be a human fire hose who pressure washes the filth out of our country. Hell yes.

I may or may not have just donated a few bucks to the Harris for President campaign.

Maybe in some weird, unexpected way, all of this ridiculousness is going to unite us against the fascist scumbag. A boy can hope at least, right?

Is Liz Warren Busy Right Now?

Shit.

Seriously… shit.

President Biden has apparently announced that he’s dropping out of the election.

We the people are completely fucked.

Are we going to get another primary? Are we going to just ignore the primary system and go back to the old system of just having state delegates pick the candidate at the convention? The convention starts on August 19th. Can we swing a new primary by then? What is my Senator, Elizabeth Warren up to right now? She got a presidential primary vote from me once before, can she get another one now?

I’ll happily vote for Vice President Harris if that’s how this works out, but I think this move more or less guarantees a win for the orange nazi goo boy and fascism, and it probably signals a quick and painful end to this American experiment thing.

American democracy had a good run, I guess.

Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck

Feeling the Need to Scream a Little

So the orange pile of fascist goo has had a day. First he had his classified documents court case dismissed because… well, because the judge overseeing the case was one of his appointees. The “legal” reason the judge used was that the appointing of the special council was unconstitutional? Based on which constitution, I wonder? I don’t think she was referring to the US Constitution. Maybe she was referring to some theoretical post-project 2025 constitution? Who fucking knows.

After that, the orange shit clown announced his running mate. It’s a maga piece of dung from Ohio, JD Vance. Is senator Vance open to being murdered by the maga cult the way the orange nazi fuck wanted his last VP to be murdered? Is this Vance dick a pro-gallows kinda guy?

There is no hope for us, is there.

I Do Not Want This

I hate that nazi mother fucker with every fiber of my being, but I want him to lose the election in humiliating yet legal fashion and then I want him to spend the rest of his miserable life in jail.

This is not the way we do things in a free and democratic country. This is the way they do things in the type of country that that orange nazi shit heel fucker wants to morph us into.

I absolutely do not want this. Never. I don’t care how much I hate someone, I do not wish violence on anyone. We should be better than that. We should be more evolved than that.

Times Square Rally

I just saw a post on one of the social media outlets/twitter clones that says there is going to be an Anti Project 2025 rally in Times Square on Saturday July 27th at 7:00pm.

Huh…

I’ve been looking for an excuse to spend a weekend in New York. Usually just having a fun weekend get away to the biggest city around is all the reason I need. Maybe we could add something more productive as additional incentive?

Huh… I wonder… let’s think on this a little bit…
