Tomorrow is election day and not too many people are going to read this, but I have to make a SHORT post regarding one part of this election which I couldn’t agree with Michelle Obama more. The last time I listened to her speak she said, “How can this election even be close?” That’s exactly what’s bothering me tonight no matter how this election turns out. Roughly HALF of the American electorate favor Donald Trump and the roadmap to fascism “Project 2025.”

That’s a sad state of affairs. And, trust me, those in Europe are possibly paying more attention to what that actually means than, likely, more than HALF of the Americans eligible to vote. From the European side of things, how could “we the people” vote into office someone who almost destroyed NATO his first time around and will likely do so if he gets a second chance? Plus, HE’S A FELON! When did America decide choosing someone who takes an oath to make sure the laws are faithfully defended who refuses to follow them? (And, incredibly, the SCOTUS gave him virtually a “get out of jail free” card – should he be able to VIOLATE that oath once again.)

But, we Americans? For God’s sake! He’s been convicted of sexually assaulting a woman by a civil court which placed a judgement of over $5 MILLION as his punishment. Part of that judgement was for DEFAMATION and, what did Trump do? Of course, he kept defaming her. Now he owes her over $83 MILLION! On top of that Trump was found liable for nearly HALF A BILLION dollars in various forms of FRAUD. If you’re not too aware of that = it just further “cements” Trump’s place in the hall of fame of LIARS.

Many of America’s first time voters have never heard the Access Hollywood tape – and, I blame democrats for that – but, thanks to some of Trump’s unhinged attacks on Ms. Harris my understanding is that tape has resurfaced – on places like TikTok. I don’t frequent the Social Media sites, but according to my grandchildren, most of our young people are found on TikTok. And MILLIONS of them now have heard Trump bragging about grabbing women by their “pussies.” He says, “when you’re famous they’ll let you do it.” How can anyone have a more demeaning view of America’s women?

And, Trump has convinced MILLIONS of Americans that he cares about “immigration.” Of course, he could care less about immigration, as long as the immigrants skin color is the correct one. I mean, he’s married to an IMMIGRANT. His grandfather was an IMMIGRANT (from Germany – their name was Drumpf) who married an immigrant. Heck, JD Vance is married to an IMMIGRANT from India, no less. How does she feel as her husband demeans Kamala Harris? Based on how he’s talked about women, he likely doesn’t care.

Donald Trump might be the MOST despicable person I’ve ever been forced to listen to, with the possible exception of Mr. Vance. These two men are making it clear to me there’s something really wrong with the nation I learned for about the last 70 years. I remember the days of Dwight Eisenhower, I remember JFK becoming president and then being murdered (when I was a Junior in High School). Then it was MlK Jr. getting murdered and then RFK getting murdered. That was a tough time for me.

LBJ caused the U.S. to lose face in the world by pushing the surge in the Viet Nam War, but he also oversaw the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 PLUS the implementation of Medicare. While the war in “Nam” is what most Americans remember from LBJ, but his signature legislation was the most significant in my lifetime UNTIL Joe Biden came along. Now we’re back at that familiar place in American politics where democrats can’t run on their accomplishments. Kamala Harris is doing a good job of putting herself in a position to continue what is the greatest economy, post pandemic, in the world.

For whatever reason (and I’ve heard them) the American people don’t believe the economy is good. To me, that’s a sign of how “spoiled” we’ve become and how susceptible we are to the corporate interests which control the Mainstream Media (MSM). Here’s the deal, there’s been a BILLION dollars spent on political advertising IN THE LAST WEEK! I know a lot of people who don’t want to hear/see another ad and just can’t wait until it’s over. Sadly, that’s exactly what those corporate interests want.

I’ve encouraged by the campaign run by Kamala Harris – when you think about it, she ran it almost flawlessly. For heaven’s sake, it’s only been about four months since Joe Biden decided to drop out. In addition, she’s been running against a REALLY despicable person. However, should this turn out the way I want it to, we must all keep in mind that Ms. Harris won’t get much done if “we the people” don’t give her a willing Congress. The reality is, the Senate is a true long shot for democrats. And the House? How could “we the people” ever vote republicans in charge of the House after the previous “deplorable” two years – where NOTHING got done – except a few “continuing resolutions” where a budget isn’t even voted on – they simply “kick the can down the road.”

I’m not sure if I want Kamala Harris to win more than I want Trump to LOSE. Keep in mind, one of the last two things on my bucket list is to live long enough (I’m 77) to see Trump go to jail. Even if Trump loses, as I said above, that won’t change the FACT almost half of this country plan to vote for him. Trump is a cowardly bully. who got slaughtered in his one debate with Ms Harris – leading him to cower out of any other direct confrontations with her. Trump is a pitiful old man. He’s a serial violator of our laws, a FELONY 34 times (with more to come). Why is this election even close? God help us!
