I kind of wish my one bad habit was drinking, not smoking.
But then I’d live longer…
Ah, well. I’ve already outlived most of the bastards.
And a few good people I shouldn’t have outlived.
At least we get to choose our idiots in power and we get what we choose.
Mine in Canada and yours in USA.
Like the saying goes don’t make political jokes because they get elected.
I wrote a rant and sent it to all the politicians I could find local,
provincial and federal. They were all happy with a majority vote.
I asked them how it was a majority when they got 39% of 35% votes?
People are just plain fed up with politicians
when not one has any common sense.
We have a province with two traitorous elected parties.
Quebec and yet they are accepted.
i can name at least 3 times. where ‘they decided’ who.
and not all the votes were counted…
i mean one, i was in line to vote, and they announced the new.!!!
(it was not a land slide. it was “Close”…)(but he still won..)
A good friend of mine said. many years ago:
“It doesn’t matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in”
I’m sure he was quoting someone, but I’ve no idea who!
No politician acts for the long-term good of their country these days,
but only the short term good of their party.
I will be interested to see if the Epstein Files finally get released in full,
since I suspect there are too many powerful people to be exposed for that to happen!
When I taught History, I advised the students to never hitch their political
star to any single party’s wagon. They all have good ideas, and they all
have bad ideas, and elections are how the people say which they think the
current crop is. Our democracy is healthiest when those who are in power
are reminded they can be voted out of power. Or, as one wag put it,
Politicians should be changed as often as babies’ diapers, and for the same
reason. Now, as a citizen of Texas, I found the election results a little
surprising, but I was never a fan of Abbott, and only a blind backroom
huckster would have put Paxton up for any significant elected office. I
remember when Texas was a yellow-dog Democrat state, and I remember
Ann Richards, the last of that ilk. Gina Hinajosa is no Ann Richards, but
if she was, she would just remind Texas why they quit voting in
Democrats. It looks like the Republicans will also lose the Texas House but
keep the Senate, which will be a bar to most ERISA (Every Ridiculous Idea
Since Adam) legislation. They will probably soften Texas’ anti-abortion
legislation, which was unnecessarily draconian, and take the hard edges
off several other laws, assuming that that will keep them in power. It
won’t. The first big company that cancels a move to Texas, in favor of
Florida, will wake people up to why Texas is one of the biggest economic
engines in the country. And the Republican legislators will pull the “flee
the state” trick on the Democratic leadership that the Democrats thought
was so clever when they did it. And the Texas legislature is very limited
in how much they can convene (something like 90 days every other year).
And we passed a constitutional amendment that prohibits a state income
tax. So it could be fun.
I didn't proofread this.

Hang in there PC. I’m 12 yrs older than you.
Us old guys will make it. The young I’m
not so sure. By young I mean less than 50.

JO
With the DildoCrats in power,
if the Epstein list isn’t released,
it means that too many on the
list were DildoCrats, not
RepubliTards.
