48. I put the worst of 'em on ignore.

Thu Jul 4, 2024, 08:46 AM

Jul 2024

Actually I put the entire issue on ignore.

Just another reason I say television news and opinion is a toxic wasteland. I quit that shit long ago in the run-up to the Iraq war. It was disgusting.

Fox News is shit, CNN is shit, MSNBC is shit.

While we're at it, the New York Times is shit too.

Joe Biden is a great President. Kamala Harris would be a great President. The Democratic Party has a very deep bench. We're voting for the Democratic team.

Anyone who plays into the hands of the fascist Republican Party is a fucking moron.

Trump can go to hell and take all of these third party freaks with him.

By the time the election rolls around I hope to see Trump utterly humiliated and the Republican Party in disarray. I want to see Republicans so shamed they don't vote. I will work to make that so.
