It's where I write stuff
Minnesota finally has an updated poll on the 2020 Presidential Election and I am able to complete the Electoral College Map I started here. Election 2020. I In my view, if the election were held today, former VEEP Joe Biden would push the Repugnican Donald Trump out of the White House and back to Mar-a-Lago …
The world has changed since nature unleashed the CoV-2 virus upon us. The election this year will definitely be a weird one. Who knows what the pandemic will look like in November. Will we have 10's of millions of infected Americans? Will we have a treatment? No way we have a vaccine by then, and …
The South Carolina Primary election has come and gone, and I didn't vote for Amy Klobuchar. I think she'd make a fine President, and I would support her wholeheartedly if she were the Democratic nominee for President. But I am not a Democrat and ultimately, the issues won out for me. Imagine a $15 minimum …
I've taken the I Side With test before, and so I knew the likely result. But in light of the dramatically changed political environment since the historic 2016 election, I wanted to do a deep analysis; answering every question, not just the suggested ones, looking at every possible answer, reading the "learn more" sections when …
I am moved by the passionate and thorough arguments presented by the House managers on the Senate floor in the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. As I watch the votes, two of them thus far, I am also moved by watching in real time, the death knell of the American experiment in self-governance. This is …
I've never understood Trump's appeal. I never saw his show on TV, but whenever I saw him on a talk show, he seemed like a buffoon to me. He was always spouting nonsense and bragging about himself. I dismissed him quite easily. When he was running for President, it seemed like more of the same. …
1600 Pennsylvania Ave has probably seen its share of unsavory types over the years, but I doubt any were as blatantly corrupt and lacking in any respect for the office as the current occupant. It's not surprising to anyone who has any knowledge of his history in business. He's all about making a buck in …
As Dr. Gregory House taught us; it's a fundamental truth of the human condition: everyone lies. The only variable is about what. The insane thing about Trump is that while he lies so much and so often, about literally anything, he is so awful at it. There's nothing even remotely believable about a Trump lie. …
I often wonder why anyone would want to be President, but never have I pondered it more than in the case of Donald Trump. He doesn't need the job, he's a senior citizen, and he is remarkably ill suited for the job due to a lack of experience in government, the inability to take criticism, …
I try to avoid watching Trump speak because it's painfully, embarrassingly awful. The nonsense he spews, the way he rambles and avoids actually saying anything, his seeming inability to put even one complete sentence together, and of course the steady stream of lies. But I do enjoy watching the late night guys' monologues on YouTube, …
