Weasel politics

Eric Trump thinks the press should not have reported that his father's resort hires. He thought they should cover a dam accident in central america. Um, you can do both. But I get the idea that certain things are covered and others aren't. The exception in South Carolina for a adoption agency to be prejudiced against their views is one story.

I will never be for a democrat or other politician who wants things not to be democratic. Mitch McConnell doesn't support democratizing moves. He imagines federal workers will all go and work on democratic campaigns. I've seen memes from conservatives about how letting all the immigrants in is another way of getting more votes. Or that free college is about making more democrats. Winning at any cost is what truly disgusts me, and I don't like it from the democrats either.

I can't help but think Schultz's vague proposals are like Aaron Burr, the villain of the musical Hamilton. "Talk less, smile more," to which Hamilton has the rejoined, "If you're got nothing to stand for, what will you fall for?" To be sure Hamilton is loose with history, but it feels true.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders claimed that God elected Trump. I had not heard that she had a direct line with God. By extension she must be doing God's work by lying for him.

The Trump administration's willingness to say anything should give them shame.

Kamala Harris

There's a fawning article about Kamala Harris in the Atlantic that ignores the recent revelations about her dating life, which an annoying conservative friend on FB pointed out. I pointed out that it's unlikely that Harris spent campaign money to pay hush money for a sex scandal. The implication my facebook friend had was that she slept her way to the top instead of earning with merit. Like all the Trump family in the administration who rose through merit. Never mind that we very rarely apply the standards to ourselves.

So I looked into this Root article. Not wanting to repost things that are from suspicious media, I looked up and The Root was founded by Louis Gates in 2008. Jr. Jason Johnson is a professor at Morgan State University. Johnson joked about being worried there would be a photo of Kamala Harris in an Eight Ball jacket (seen above) that she might not wear it unironically. Willie Brown  "was doing what among old black men would be crassly referred to as “bragging on his dick.” "

"Brown had been separated but not divorced from his wife, Blanche Vitero, since 1976. He met Kamala Harris in 1994 when she was 29 and he was 60 and their whirlwind romance was all over the California newspapers. They broke up around the time he was elected mayor of San Francisco, a position he held from 1996 to 2004."

So it wasn't extra marital, even if that was none of our business.

"She’s not a Jezebel, a Mammy or an Omarosa. She’s also the first viable woman running for president who has had an entire adult dating life. Elizabeth Warren got married (the first time) at 19, Michele Bachmann at 22, Carly Fiorina 23, Hillary 28 and even 2020 candidate Kristen Gillibrand got married at 35."

Johnson's point at the end is that he didn't like it that Kamala Harris supported prison labor, "her refusal to back independent investigations in police shootings, her relatively timid attempts to fix prison overcrowding, her failure to properly site [sic] Tribe Called Quest lyrics."

This guy is funny even if he doesn't know the difference between "cite" and "site". You could probably find a million grammar mistakes in my writing. The politics of pointing out others mistakes without admitting your own struggle is annoying. Pointing out Kamala Harris' sexuality before she was married without seeing Trump's sexual politics while married, and using illegal funds for hush money--that was criminal!

This guy is funny, I'm going to try and read his articles.

Harris got married at 49 to Douglas Emhoff, a lawyer with 2 adult children.

Too many rabbit holes in politics. It's all smoke and mirrors for financial injustice and lack of justice in America, catering to the rich.

I've had recent rants on my spiritual blog and my Shake-speare blog. I have too many blogs and opening up another dormant blog is perhaps not the thing I should be doing, but I'm thinking more politically and therefore this is where my political thoughts belong, blog-wise.
