Welcome to my daily political musings. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy!
Well, all those thoughts and prayers are finally coming back from the Universal Powers that Be. (A lot of people call that entity God). My purpose here is not to name the unnamable but rather to ask what exactly are thoughts and prayers doing? I don’t hear too many of the GOP faithful blithely telling Donny that he should be grateful for all the thoughts and prayers that have been offered for his continued existence.
There’s a Texas blues song that goes, “It ain’t no fun when the rabbit’s got the gun.” I think it’s as appropriate as a theme song for the November election because this November, gun reform is going to be on the ballot. MAGAphilia will put it on the ballot with their violence. There won’t be a vote, but the issue will be on everyone’s mind.
Two attempts at assassinating the ex-President is the most political violence we’ve experienced since the sixties. Still, Donny and his ilk are blaming the violence on the Democrats for saying bad things about them. I have not heard any Democrats calling for thoughts and prayers when school children are murdered one by one in their classroom, though. Have you?
The whole MAGAphile thrust is violent and seeks to harm people who have done nothing to MAGAphilia. People who immigrate here are looking for a better life. They are not coming for all the tacos they can wrangle from all the American pets they can purloin and barbecue. To deliberately do harm to people who have come here to better their lives is hardly presidential.
Yet we have two careless bullies atop the MAGA presidential ticket. Donny is actually threatening to deport people who have immigrated here, whether they’ve come legally or illegally. He has even poo-pooed the idea that immigration is the reason inflation in the US is lower than anywhere else in the world.
But no, Donny had to have immigration as his ticket back to the presidency, and he thinks that will get him that famed get out of jail free card. Maybe someone should tell him politics is not the same as monopoly.
Because of his irresponsible rhetoric, parents in Springfield, Ohio, are afraid to send their kids to school. I don’t see how that is going to get Donny and JD elected. I think when parents get afraid to send their kids to school because of politics, the politicians who are promoting the fear are not long for the political sphere.
The very idea that children are doing active shooter drills in their classrooms should be such an embarrassment to those two yahoos that they should be ashamed to show their faces in public. Much less to ask us to elect them to the highest office in the land.
