Say Something Completely Random And Off Topic

I am starting to wonder who will be speakers at the RNC Convention next week.  I haven't seen a schedule yet.

Do you think that former President Bush will want to speak and give a ringing endorsement of President Trump?  

Will certain House and Senate Republicans want to do the same? 

I think that some will want to speak to set themselves up for 2024.  But at the same time, do they want to give a glowing speech endorsing President Trump?  That may come back to haunt them.

I’ll assume the Bush question is rhetorical. No shot.

Perhaps Ted Nugent, Kid Rock and Sarah Palin along with Dabo Sweeney and Ed Orgeron. Since he tweets from the grave, don’t count out Herman Cain. 

Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham were scheduled, but their mouths will be busy tossing 45’s salad.

Today, the President attacked Goodyear Tire and Rubber, an American company.  He called for boycotting that company.

I wonder how the 62,000 employees of Goodyear, many located in Akron, Ohio (a swing state) will react?  If I were advising the Democrats, I'd have Joe Biden show up at Goodyear with John Kasich as soon as possible.

The couple from Missouri who pointed the gun at the BLM protesters are speaking according to a headline anyway

Maybe the Gov. of Florida, perhaps Sen. Scott, maybe Ben Carson.  Certainly not George W. Bush, nor Romney.  I wonder if Mrs. Trump will speak.  She may be required to as part of the pre-nup.

Maybe Dick Cheney...he could talk about the benefits of government paid health care (for his heart transplant at age 71) or the safe use of firearms while quail hunting.

Or Roger Stone or Paul Manafort could talk about friendship and pardons.

As an Ohioan I made sure to point this out to those on the fence (how could they be?) and to shame those voting for Trump.

Cannot say it is actually great or even that good really- but I watched it a million times as a kid so have affection for it.  It was in constant rotation on HBO, Showtime and The Movie Channel in the 80s

I'll say that it is great.  The best of the Arthurian movies, in my opinion.  Great casting with some awesome actors in it:  Gabriel Byrne, Liam Neeson, Helen Mirren, Patrick Stewart, and an outstanding performance by Nicol Williamson.  

One of the earliest films to use the now-overly-used Carmina Burana, and it does it so well.

A full story of King Arthur and his knights, from beginning to end, including the Grail quest.

Lots of memorable quotes:

"Look upon this moment. Savor it! Rejoice with great gladness! Great gladness! Remember it always, for you are joined by it. You are One, under the stars. Remember it well, then... this night, this great victory. So that in the years ahead, you can say, 'I was there that night, with Arthur, the King!' For it is the doom of men that they forget."

"Looking at the cake is like looking at the future, until you've tasted it what do you really know? And then, of course, it's too late."

"Come, Father.  Let us embrace at last."

I'm so afraid Trump is going to steal this election.

 

The fact that we cannot have a new Coronavirus stimulus package because he refuses to fund the post office should be so putrid to so many that the sheer volume of disgust washes him out of office.  Yet not a dent in the polls.  His tweet this morning about voting twice by mail is untrue but also so perverse in its desire to suppress the vote and pre-invalidate the outcome.  

The cowards in the Republican Party who know better should all also be seen as full-on traitors to this country.

Like everything that he says, it is intellectually bankrupt. His premise is that only democrats would vote twice and cheat. 

I guess the BS republican cheating in North Carolina recently  was in one of Dump’s intel reports he fails to even read.

Numerous reports on the political shows this morning of how he and his lawyers are already planning to challenge results in key battleground states.

He has cheated at everything in life he could.  He would cheat.  Republicans did just cheat.  It is his (and their) warped minds that believe because they do it, Democrats must.

What kind of people are living amongst us?

From Forbes:

KEY FACTS

57% of Republicans said the number of coronavirus deaths is acceptable, while 67% of independents and 90% of Democrats said the number of deaths is “not acceptable.”

Republicans also felt coronavirus deaths are being over counted, with 64% saying deaths are actually “fewer than reported.”

A vast majority of Republicans, 73%, also said the way the U.S. is dealing with the coronavirus pandemic is “going well,” while 62% of all voters said the response is “going badly."

_________

What number would they find unacceptable? 300,000, 400,000 who knows?

Did you move to Texas? 

I have a feeling you can thank ex-Californians for that. Once they get fed up and leave they want to introduce other states to their way of doing things is what I hear.

goign to be moving to a suburb of Dallas.

and no, I was thinking specifically about a certain green bud.  Surely one can't blame californians for making the bud very illegal in Tx

In political news from somewhere other than the US (yes, there are other countries and many also have politics!),  Canada's Official Opposition party, the Conservatives, elected a new leader last night! 

Well, actually it was very early this morning since the vote count was delayed over six hours because some machines used to open envelopes with ballots shredded them instead. Not a great look for a party trying to show they are ready to govern!

Luckily Boy Wonder and his ilk haven’t set the bar terribly high.

I wonder what happened in the Conway household this weekend.

The actual answer for those who don’t know:  Claudia, their 15 year old daughter, has been publicly enraged at her mother on social media for a while. On late Saturday night / early Sunday morning Claudia started posting about getting emancipated and laying into her mother as an abuser. (She made it clear she isn’t fond of her father’s philosophies either.)  She explicitly stated she had been abused by her mother beyond her mother’s work. The level of attack, and Claudia’s sense of being her mother’s victim was profound. Who knows what happened behind the scenes, but this is obviously an attempt on KellyAnne and George’s part to save their children. (I don’t believe their marriage could possibly survive.)  The first honorable thing KA has done, maybe ever in her life. I hope they can find some way to be a family.
