What do you think?

August 4, 2020

What it says about those who voted for him is even worse.

That they somehow saw fit to elevate this monster...

August 3, 2020

Yep. I bet you nailed it.

Your suspicions are the same as mine.

I’d take Cuomo as a VP. But I’m looking forward to having a woman on the ticket.

I was already eager for a woman President four years ago... and lots of Americans agreed. She DID get the most votes.

Our Dems should have gotten tough with the GOP YEARS ago.

At least FOUR DECADES ago!

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see that.

What constantly irks me is what now shapes up as complete baloney and journalistic malpractice - STILL reacting and responding to trump with what always looks like wide-eyed naivety. Like - well, maybe he's telling the truth today.

FUCK THAT! Do we not have an almost-four-year-long and VERY well-documented track record of CONSTANT lies and bullshit and distractions and grievance whining and more lies and more distortions and more bullshit? This guy DOES NOT tell the truth, HAS NOT told the truth, WILL NOT tell the truth, and CANNOT tell the truth. NOT EVER!

And we can go back even farther than just this four-year timeframe. THROUGHOUT his life in the public eye, he has lied, misled, bullshitted, tap-danced, distracted, distorted, slung a lotta hash, and blamed everything/everybody/anything/anybody else outside of his own little self.

Everyone in the media seems to forget this. Everyone in the media seems to want to start with a daily reset - where everything is covered and judged from a zero-base, disregarding everything we know and see and have observed FOR YEARS with this bastard.

And I just wish they'd stop!

Everything about him, everything he says, everything he does, MUST BE viewed in the context of his long-established track record as a certified liar and cheat. And it should be covered that way.

He has LONG AGO squandered ANY benefit of the doubt that seems to wash over him every day. He NO LONGER deserves such treatment.

Everything about him should be covered through the lens, and on the premise, of TOTAL doubt. In context with his long-established and EXTREMELY well-documented track-record as a liar and a cheat. NOTHING with him should be taken at face value.

Maybe it's some over-arching attempt to try to remain objective. But by now, the only objective attitude or interpretation we have, the only one that's relative and operative, is to fully understand and accept that he is a liar and a cheat, and EVERYTHING from him and about him should be treated, and covered, from that fundamental. From that baseline. From now on.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
