Look at what has become "normal"...

There was a time when Conventions were traditional, with funny hats and balloons, and large signs from each state, and drinking, partying, and deal making.

But no more.

Now, we have a Convention from the White House, designed to show off our royalty, with most of the speakers being members of the family, trusted members of the staff, and a few sycophants. And that is the extent of it. We get to hear how great the Dear Leader is and what great deeds he has done for our country.

There is nothing "normal" about it.

And that is just one thing the country has agreed to accept.

As if it is a switch they can turn "on" and "off".

There are only two alternatives: the empire decays further and falls, or we reach higher ground. The November election represents that choice.

But I have seen no indication that the fever is about to break.

It is like a bountiful buffet that will not stop until you become wretchedly ill, barf, and then puke.

It makes you want to never ever ever dine at that table EVER again ! I'd much rather starve,... thanks.
