Trail Mix

Browning .12 gauge, made in Belgium. The Russians made good use of this weapon while advancing across Russia towards Berlin. Street by street, town by town, the fascists retreated before them.

In Ohio remarks yesterday, Trump says Biden will “hurt the Bible, hurt God.”

Then he says: “He’s against God.”

Paraphrasing Bobby Knight, ‘God doesn’t give a damn about Donald Trump.’

Worst tell of all, when Trump lied about generals saying Beruit explosion was an “attack” no one believed him, not even the Pentagon. He’s an irrelevant joke at home and abroad.

"The defense officials, who declined to be identified so they could speak freely, said they didn't know what the President was talking about." https://t.co/0ylhw5WJu8

Trump finally gets it. Trashing mail ballots suppresses his own vote. (Florida GOP freaking out at reports 140,000 more Democrats requested mail ballots in just the last two weeks, reversing decades of Republican mail-in dominance).

Whether you call it Vote by Mail or Absentee Voting, in Florida the election system is Safe and Secure, Tried and True. Florida’s Voting system has been cleaned up (we defeated Democrats attempts at change), so in Florida I encourage all to request a Ballot & Vote by Mail! #MAGA

Lost track of time? Days of the week same-o same-o?
If it’s fires in CA and hurricanes in FL, it must be August. If political ads and robo calls are 24/7, it must be an election year. Grasping at hints in this unbrave new world.

We seem to be lost in a COVID19 worm hole, a viral groundhog day movie where everyone is masked.

Along the way, here’s one north star to help keep track timewise. The link ticks off the days and hours and minutes left until you know who leaves the White House (or gets unceremoniously dragged out the door).

In the meantime, enjoy
