Gold
and Rules
Let's just say I'm not keen on the idea of crony capitalism
being applied to education. The only thing worse than private
schools, to me, is home schooling, which is the educational
equivalent of incest.
-------------
One reason why there are so many (too many) voices suggesting
that President Joe Biden step down is because (Are you
ready?) the Democratic Party is blessed with SO MANY suitable
alternatives
waiting
in the wings. There's
Kamala, Whitmer, Newsome, Whitehouse, Raskin... Hell,
I'd happily take Hillary again because Democrats spent
the past seven years telling ourselves "She was right."
Now let's consider all the "Republicans"who
could fit the MAGAlicious mold of someone as racist
and pandering and hateful and contemptuous as Trump:
<long blast of cosmic radiation background hiss>
The media understands this. That's why they don't attack
Trump as often as they should because there's no use taking
shots at him. He's not going anywhere no matter how many
videos they have of him raping a troop of Girl Scouts or
recycling a plastic Coke bottle.
--------------
Okay, that being said, what if Trump bows out? Something
he might have been planning it all along. It's clear
that his debate win didn't catapult him into "can't
lose"
territory and he's spent the last ten days not pushing
his debate advantage.
So let's say Trump feigns an illness and in like the
cavalry rides a much younger though no less evanglical-friendly
replacement....
Nikki Haley.
Suddenly the age issue becomes a BIG problem for the Democrats and, with Haley,
the GOP is mostly free of Trump's criminal stench. There's no doubt if Haley
wins
the
election,
and
weirder
things have happened (Like Trump winning in 2016) she would pardon his Orangeness
for anything he did in the past or might do in the future. This faustian bargain
would
of
course
include
following
Steve
Bannon's malicious instructions to the letter.
You think Dick Cheney's puppeting of Dubya
was bad? Uhh boy.
This could happen. Haley actually polled well against Mr. Biden during the primary
season. I really hope this scenario doesn't play out as I'm confident
that
Mr.
Biden
will
prevail against Shark-Boy but if I'm not worrying about these back-stabbing Republican
bastards
at every turn then I'm not doing my job.
Footnote: After I wrote this I went looking for political news items to post
and
learned
that Kristi Nome has deleted all of her
social media accounts... exactly what one might do if one was going to
avoid
political controversy when she steps into Trump's shoes.
Dun-dun-dunnnnnnnn.

"Mein Kampf", published in 1925.
"Project 2025", exactly 100 years later.
This is not a coincidence.
