Imagine one year from now, Donald Trump again having won the White House, and the resulting reign of terror during the four following years. That’s if you expect him to leave office at the end of his term.

There is a Santos Close
George Santos being in the House of Representatives, and everything he said while there, made as much sense as this does.

Whitehouse for the White House
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is smart, articulate, and pointed in explaining the ethics problems in the Supreme Court. Note: he’s had some issues himself with questions about his investments.
Whitehouse is a month younger than me, so maybe there’s a chance a 1950’s baby will finally make it to the White House.
Nursing a Problem
Before I became one of the voluntarily unemployed, I was in meetings with Dell Computer Corporation where they pitched a “hospital of the future” initiative, using remote technology to aid patient care. Nothing came of it where I worked, but Dell was right about where things needed to go, and the pandemic made the need urgent.
The point that’s made about nurses no longer tolerating some demands, such as working night shifts, doesn’t address the reality that there must be night nurses.
A Friendly Exchange
My old friend who lived in San Francisco for many years has been telling me about the local politics where she lives now.
What she said: Voting time is about the only time I really miss living in CA. Before every election we got pamphlets that had exactly whom we would be voting for, their bios, their statements, their rebuttals, their counter-rebuttals, along with every proposition, and pro and con statements for them. Here, you cannot even find your own polling place online! The area here makes it VERY hard to vote because we are gerrymandered regularly without any notice. *sigh*
My reply: Thanks to the pandemic, the SF Bay area’s commercial real estate market, and perhaps the city itself, could be in a so-called “doom loop.” So it’s good you left, but the manipulation of the voting process you’re seeing sure does seem like typical Republican dirty tricks.
I have to laugh when pundits say GOP traditionalists, like Romney, don’t recognize their party under Trump. They had blinders on, not wanting to see their party for what it’s really about, once you look below the rich investor class. It’s exactly the same as what it was, except now it’s pumped up on steroids and been given full expression by Trump.
Mitt is one leading “traditional” Republican who was naive about Trump and the truth he revealed about the Grand Old Party. Mitch is another.
