Well, it’s T-six days until we find out if we have learned anything as a nation about whom not to elect president. Signs are hopeful that our national nightmare, disgrace and general disgust will finally be over. But it ain’t over until the fat lady sings and I have yet to start trilling.
Seems like we might could use a little divine intervention at the moment, obviously the underworld put in quite an effort in order for us to be in this fix so it’s time for the other side to pitch in. If there is a supreme being with unlimited sight and power she could at the very least loan us a squad of arc angels to lend a hand with some of the election stuff. Let’s start with voter suppression, zap that shit as soon as possible, ditto political gerrymandering. Then there are the ridiculously long lines people need to stand in to vote, losing a day’s pay, waiting hours upon hours, in the middle of a forking pandemic (I’ll chalk that one up to the other side). At least set up some rest stops along the way offering say free coffee, or better yet a full bar or even just beer and wine, neck massages, a knosh or two, then reset time passage at 2x or even 3x to keep things moving. It really doesn’t seem like much to ask. Then there’s the whole question of voting on tuesday, WTF? What’s so sacrosanct about tuesday (which was, after all named for a norse god, which should have taken it out of contention right there) except that it is one day after the start of the work week. You know, when people need to be at their jobs (if they still have one)….what’s wrong with saturday? Yes I know that’s a problem during college football season but since that’s probably not in the cards for the foreseeable future (well, of course you’d know better than I) how about we give it a whirl.
I think that takes care of the big stuff for now but please put congressional and court term limits on the to do list along with background checks and mandatory public tax returns for presidential candidates. bonus points for IQ tests. Oh and what’s with the senate working like 3 weeks a year and blowing town whenever the heat is on? Ditching the filibuster would be nice. I could go on but I don’t want to stress you out too much, but one more thing, and I should have said this first, get rid of rudy giuliani. asap.
Thanks a million, can’t tell you what a difference it will make for our country. Admittedly other places have famine, wars, and desperate poverty. We have trump.
Tough call, I know.
