Omen? Maybe. When Sleepy Joe and Nasty Kamala took the stage in Delaware, KUNM was playing “The Sloop John B.”
Let me go home
Why don’t they let me go home
This is the worst trip I’ve ever been on
Worst. Trip. Ever.
There’s your ticket. It may not be progressives’ idea of Disneyland, but compared to “Pirates of Mar-a-Lago” it looks pretty Magic fuckin’ Kingdom to me.
So let’s take the ride. Biden-Harris 2020.

Its gonna be another one of those clip the clothespin on the nose, drag your ass to the polls, and vote for the lesser of the evils. In this case, far, far lesser than the present evil.
Although I’ll probably have to move to N. Dakota or bury the arsenal.

Omen? Is this summer 2016? I’m already on the worst trip of my life and it’s summer 2020.
It’s “the worst trip” because the crew got drunk and got into fights. Even if the Captain is the only one able to steer the John B the hungover crew may make it home after all.

I think it’s a better choice than 2016. Shit, I will even put a Harris/Biden sign in my yard to piss off all the maga hats wandering around here in our entitled honky ‘hood. I’m in; I’m all in. Harris for president.

Agreed. I thought The Hilldebeast would have been a one-termer, if she didn’t get impeached (or worse) in the first 100 days. A place-holder, basically, until the GOP found someone who was a little less obviously insane.
Goes to show you what we already know: I will never be smart.
Now what we need is a brutally definitive beating administered to the GOP up and down the ticket, the sort of visceral rejection you’d give to a piranha in your bathtub. Pad the advantage in the House, take back the Senate, and win the White House.
And then, it’s four years of heavy lifting. These yahoos have made a mess of the property and it’s gonna take some elbow grease to make it livable again.

Better but not stellar. I think Sleepy Joe is a far better person than the Hildebeest and Kamala is a far more dynamic candidate than whoever that cardboard cutout white guy was who got wheeled into the room as VP in 2016. The 2016 undynamic duo of Clinton-Kaine sucked all the air out of the Democratic room, IIRC.
I think some die hard progressives will stay home this time but most of us will be kicking the doors to the polling places open. Even me, earlier comments notwithstanding.
I’ll just have to sneak out at night and bury some stuff in the yard…

Don’t worry your little heads if the Dems are too far left or too far center or too far right.
The “president” has it fixed by placing Louis DeJoy (aka Mr. Joy Boy) into the role of Postmaster General. His job is to take down the USPS – make it look bad before the election, and then make it look incompetent during and after the election. Thereby setting up a legal challenge to any negative results for the current occupant of the white house. Another plan is to take the mail private. What could possibly go wrong with that.
August 13, 2020 at 12:11 pm |
Well, yeah. Adolf Twitler just said the quiet part out loud again: He’s squatting on USPS funding because it would go in part to seeing that mail-in ballots are promptly delivered.
The word here in New Mexico is that if you have not turned in your absentee/mail-in ballot with two weeks to go before Election Day, you want to hand-deliver it. Mail it and it must be received by Oct. 20 to count in the Nov. 3 election.
MoJo’s Kevin Drum finds the whole thing inexplicable:

I guess we have to hold our collective noses cuz this country cannot take another four years of the orange headed buffoon, moron, dolt, a&&hole, crazy mofo. no matter how much I think that they are not the best dogs in the game , can’t see they could screw up much worse. but then again the bar is very low.
August 13, 2020 at 1:46 pm |
Do not hold your nose. Grifters work very hard to separate you and your money. Be assured that the wheels are grinding, all of the PACs are sucking every cent they are finding, all of the pundits are minding all the polls.
August 13, 2020 at 6:56 pm |
Y’gotta hold onto your nose to keep the grifters from stealing it and selling it to Kroger as organic lunch meat.
August 13, 2020 at 9:07 pm |
And, now We have the birther shit starting again from rumors, probably started by the Russians, on fucking social media. Some asshole at a press conference brought it up, probably all staged beforehand, and dumpster ran with it. There is no bottom.
August 14, 2020 at 7:20 am |
It’s like watching a lazy band play its greatest hits. But that’s all some people want.
FREEEEEEEEEBIIIIIIRRRRRRDDDDD!
August 14, 2020 at 8:59 am |
Word. Reminds me of the old Gallagher bit “I’m Still Stuck In The 60s.”
August 14, 2020 at 5:18 pm |
It was a lawyer and politician who came up with this theory, which is more of a question that has already been answered. He got beaten in a primary for CA attorney general and the winner lost to Harris. Sour grapes from a while ago dredged back out of the mud by some russian troll no doubt. This is what we have devolved to.
August 14, 2020 at 1:14 pm |
One would think you have to at least try to come up with credible lies. Thankfully, T-rump doesn’t have the study skills to study the great liars. Its not like you can’t look up where Kamala was born (Oakland) or that she is the successful kid of hard working, highly educated immigrants.
This administration of liars, cheats, con artists, snake oil salesmen, and grifters has gotta go. Period.
Vote early, vote often. Shit, if I have to suck it up and vote in person, I’ll do so. People have taken far greater risks than that for this repubic
