He sums it up better than I ever could.
Quite frankly I fear that the experiment that has been the United States of America is crashing in the most obscene manner possible.
Racism and Misogyny have won out
Kamala Harris is infinitely more qualified to be President of the United States than the tRump. I just do not understand how so many people could vote for this horrible, terribly horrible person except by explaining it by their fear of a woman of color holding the office – racism and misogyny. They also rejected Hillary Clinton, who was probably the most qualified person to run for the office in my lifetime.
I am having fantasies of checking out of this world rather than living through the next four years of the cluster fuck that is going to be a second go round with this monster. But I am not likely to do so as Señora has had enough pain in her life, plus I doubt I have the courage. What is about to come down the road, however, might make me desperate enough.
As a military brat I always had a great love and pride of country. No more. With tRump, Christian Nationalism, Project 2025, etc., I have come to hate what this country has become, especially since they seem to be doubling done on the awfulness. It does seem like from all the history I have read, that in the long run, evil generally wins out over good. tRump is evil incarnate.
Truly if there is a god as detailed in the religious texts, he hates humanity, as we keep getting leaders of such low caliber. I really thought that when tRump was elected the first time, it was one of the worst days of my life. I was wrong. Since we know what a monster tRump is this time around, yet he was elected, this time feels and is significantly worse.
The only positive thing to come out of last night is that Missourians did vote to repeal the draconian ban of abortion. However, I fully expect tRump and gangsters to make a national abortion ban law.
May the Devil save us as apparently God is not going to do so.
And so it should not go.

I say we try it. How wonderful it could be if we brought some feminine sensibilities to governing the world…
Although I have know some Southern, gun-toting, Republican women who would make JD Vance seem like a liberal choir boy.
Vote today as if the future of our country depends on it… because it does.

Yup… Dave Bautista’s description of tRump is right on target.

Robert Reich: Kamala Harris in 90 Seconds (well… a little more than 90 seconds)
IMHO, it is a very clear choice this election cycle, fascism and theocracy with tRump and Vance, or two genuinely good folks in Harris and Walz whom are running for office with service in mind as opposed to tRump’s need to self-aggrandize. And then there is Vance, ambition for ambition’s sake and a need to force his Draconian wrong-headed values on the rest of us.
Early Voting
Not sure what this portends in this obscenely deep red state of Missouri, but this is the line for early voting at a library close to our house. Missouri opened no excuse early voting starting October 22 and continues right up the day before election day, November 5th. From everything I have been reading, it is a very popular. This picture was taken on Friday, October 25th around 10:30 in the morning.
The line once inside the library was two or three times as long as the line outside as they had us snaking around like we were in an airport TSA line. All in all though, it went smoothly. From the time I parked my truck — we had to walk a ways back to the library — it took us an hour to vote.
Just as an aside, one thing I do not like about Missouri elections is Continue reading “Early Voting”
Praying For Armageddon
This documentary, Praying For Armageddon, is from the BBC and is about American Evangelicals and their support of Israel. Even though I knew most of what was presented in this documentary, I found it absolutely chilling, as well as very depressing. This video describes how American Evangelicals are willing and hopeful of fomenting discord to the point of global war to bring about their long awaited Armageddon. It is an extremely scary world view.
(My origin link to a single video of the complete documentary had a forced take down due to copyright issues… maybe these will stay up)
The milieu that I grew up in was Southern Baptist, although with us moving around so much, it was an on again, off again, immersion. My favorite uncle, whom I loved very much, was a Southern Baptist minister. I passed two summers in his household as teenager as I was having so many problems at home. I think the hope was that it might reattach my shaky rudder, which it did to some extent.
While my uncle was gracious about it, I just could Continue reading “Praying For Armageddon”

A Billboard – Somewhere in Georgia
First of all, the shear hubris of this billboard is more than I can fathom. Then the divisiveness promoted by this sign, surely placed by a religious organization or person, is the exact opposite of what religion should be doing. Historically, however, Christianity has not be an inclusive religion, except by force, nor has it been an agent for tolerance and acceptance of people who believe or think differently than themselves. IMHO, this attitude continues today in many branches of Christianity.
On the other hand, I have been and am certainly demonizing MAGA Republicans. For me, they are espousing the worst side of humanity. Why so many Christians, especially Evangelical Christians, are so adamantly onboard with the MAGA crowd is mystifying.
That persons like tRump, Putin, Maduro, Kim Jung-un, Netanyahu and many more of that ilk are in positions of power is proof that a god does not exist — at least the god as detailed in the various religious texts, or if he does exist, he certainly does not love humanity.
Oh well.
