Margaret,
I was watching the news for a bit, which is getting exceedingly harder to do, but I’m glad I did. I learned that JD Vance is hanging out with evangelical religious leader, Lance Wallnau, who said after this month’s presidential debate that Vice President Kamala Harris used “witchcraft” to win the debate. Wallnau believes Trump has been chosen by God to restore Christian power in America.
I also saw an interview with Senator Lindsey Graham, otherwise known as Washington’s worst kept secret. Now that’s saying something because Washington is full of secrets that weren’t kept. Hell, it’s full of lots of things that weren’t kept, like Trump’s promises and Graham’s dignity.
But Senator Graham for this interview was being asked for his reaction to Trump calling Harris mentally disabled. For the record, Trump thought that was a funny insult and those good caring Christians who attend his rallies laughed. Yes. You heard me correctly. We are back to laughing at jokes about disabilities again. Just when you think they’ve reached bottom, Trump finds a new shovel.
Now nevermind the obvious fact that Harris isn’t mentally disabled. Lindsey simply had to say that making jokes about disabilities isn’t appropriate. He’s a Senator and yet he couldn’t muster even an ounce of courage. Instead he said Harris might not be disabled, but her policies are bat shit crazy. And as examples he gave Medicare for All and The Green New Deal.
So according to Graham, taking care of the planet is bat shit crazy. Taking care of the poor and the sick is crazy liberalism. Well, Lindsey Darlin’, sign me up for some of that nutty guano because it sounds pretty damn good to me.
That’s where the Republican party is today. Taking care of the planet and helping the sick is radical and crazy. Which is odd when you think about it because Christians on the right should realize that Medicare for All is quite literally the answer to What Would Jesus Do?
I just can’t even with these asshats anymore. Let me remind you that Lindsey called Trump a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot and Trump called Lindsey Graham the dumbest human being he’s ever seen. I could almost say that I finally agree with something Trump said, but I’ve actually seen Trump, so Graham would have to be at least number two on my list… followed closely by JD Vance and Mindy Noce.
So in summary, Trump is once again making jokes about disabilities. Trump supporters are once again laughing at disabilities. Lindsey Graham thinks taking care of poor people is bat shit crazy. Tim Scott is married and Lindsey Graham isn’t. Tammy Baldwin is the first openly gay member elected to the U.S. Senate, but Wisconsin is a swing state and South Carolina isn’t.
Well, it’s enough to make your head spin. The hypocrisy of the Republican party is astounding.
Can we all just vote for Harris and restore a little sanity to our country. I mean it really.
Margaret and Helen 
Kamala knows nothing about policy if she did she wouldn’t have allowed our president to make the USA a mess! Allowing migrants to take over our streets unsafe for our kids taking money from your social security Medicare and Medicaid and give it all to foreigners! Please ! Also she’s the last one in the room right? Allowing those soldiers to die in Afghanistan and never said I’m Sorry! Shame on them all of them! Let me ask you how is your pocket these days? Your grocery bills are sky high! And don’t tell me stopping price gauging because all these should have been done ! All they care about is the stupid Elite who live in their own cacoon ! Republicans are the common sense party ! If she gets in we are going to war!!!

Oh Helen, what a delight to receive your missive and know you are still writing, still feisty as ever. I agree with you 100% about wanting to get back to “normal” and voting for Harris to restore some sanity. As Juanita Jean Herownself (hairdresser extraordinaire from the World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon) once said:
“Government should be like your digestive system. When everything is working like it should, you hardly even know it’s there.”

Question: have Christian values changed since I was a kid? What would their parents do if you acted like this? I know what mine would have done. Margaret and Helen would have gotten the lollipop, except for a couple of bad words. The others would have been looking for the phone book to put in their pants.

Unfortunately thinking Harris is gonna save this country is bat $hit crazy too. You really need to do more research on her background and the support she is giving the Zionist cult. Open your mind and your heart and you need to stop praising or razzing either party. At this point they are both corrupt. If you’re going to support any candidate with good values it should have been Kennedy. If you can’t do that you just need to go back to sleep rather than trying to support the Matrix agenda!

Trump projects his shortcomings onto everyone who disagrees with him. He is an evil man (and that’s saying it nicely). I don’t understand his followers, especially women. Has their common sense escaped and been replaced with stupidity. If I were a religious person I would say the Devil walks amongst us and zaps “mentally disabled “ people to make them join the mindless masses of sheeple

Thank you Margaret. It really is getting difficult to remain an American, given what we are subject to each day by our right wing nutcases, Were I 30, I really would be planning to migrate somewhere–New Zealand? Anywhere not American. Keep up your good work.

I don’t know – the crap that is flying around is beyond comprehension. I don’t know whether to think that Jance was born or hatched? Either way he has no idea how things work – nor does he care. I could say more about Trump but there are so many ‘sayings’ about Trump that the list has run off the page and definitely won’t quit til when??? That is the big worry/question. All I know is that we had better try like hell to keep Trump away from the White House as he seems to love buttons and pushes any that he can find.

“Just when you think they’ve reached bottom, Trump finds a new shovel.” This cracked me up. It also reminded me of “There’s a Bottom Below,” a song by the great Malvina Reynolds (1900–1978). Some songs never go out of date. https://youtu.be/boyiqeyFwQ8?si=lj-CpfUQIxmsfZQH

Thank you, I’m planning on voting for her (even though it’s the EC that does the actual electing). I don’t know if the smarmy little git from SC identifies as Christian, but if so, he is simply among those who, years ago, left the worship of a Triune God, for the worship of Mammon, in whatever its current incarnation. And they all make very, very, sure, to stay OFF the Damascus Road.

Beautiful. If you want to hear batshit crazy, some elderly woman was on our pretty progressive court yesterday with a handful of trump flyers. She asked my husband if he planned to vote (we actually filled out our absentee ballots and they are ready for a trip to the Clerk today!) and he said he was. So then she asked him who he was voting for he answered “I can tell you this, I will never vote for another Republican in my life” to which she snorted while walking away, “Too bad the Democrat Party is so full of Commies now.” Seriously? Her hero wants ‘one day of violence’ to end shoplifting and we’re the Commies?
And Jesus wept-buckets, for all that’s worth. Can’t he smite these people with a lightning bolt or something? The Devil has taken over half this country.
