The temp just hit 90 degrees. That's it. I'm shutting it down. Might take a chance on going outside again around 8:00, if it is back in the low 70s by then. But, until then, no way. 90 degrees is nuts, nuts, crazy nuts!

Pretty tough run an effective campaign when the response after your every public appearance isn't about your message but whether you appeared to be clear-headed or looney.
"Biden sounded pretty clear today when he spoke at ..."
"Biden sounded a little looney today when addressed the ..."
"Good day for Biden, he got all the names right when he spoke at..."
"Bad day for Biden, he introduced the podium as VP Harris when he addressed the..."
"Good day ..."
"Bad day ..."

There once was a farmer from Newfolden
whose smile would the ladies embolden.
About him they'd gather
and ask which would he rather?
Said the farmer, my prospects are golden.

So, the very few people that had the know how and wherewithal to steal the election all happened to be Democrats?
Lucky break for Biden. Especially given that the Trump administration held the reins of power and had the courts packed with friendlies.
Or, are you saying there was a super secret select group of people with super powers that were able to twist the election dials Biden's way with their invisible fingers?
Wait, isn't that a conspiracy?

And what kind of election steal argument is it to say that people who hold common opinions will take similar actions? Of course people that tend to think alike will tend to act alike. That is why you tend to find people who like pizza in pizza parlors. And that is why people support the candidates they do. If that is all you are saying, you've said nothing. How does your belief that the election supported in that argument?

You can flip and twist for all you are worth, but all you have said is one side cheated this last election, the Biden side. And you keep coming up with cockamamie arguments to pretty up and support your contention.
Biden's people think Trump will wreck the country. Trump's people believe Biden will wreck the country. Both sides call devil on the other. But you say only one side will cheat and subvert the will of the people to keep their devil out, the Democrats. Yes, Bruce.
And that is a phony coat of morality you slyly paint the Democrat election stealers with, one that washes off with the first thought. Any demented nut can see a devil in the bushes, but it is not moral act when that nut lies and cheats, or worse, to keep that devil at bay. "Oh, those poor misguided Democrats. Those poor demented fools thought they were doing good when they subverted our Democracy and stole the election. I feel sad for them, poor twisted souls, but they did cheat and steal the election, as I have maintained from the beginning."

Things that think alike don't have to conspire to do amazing things together. All you are saying is that Democrats cheat at elections and Republicans don't. Same exact thing Bruce says, except Bruce is more honest about it. Bruce just says Democrats cheat, Republicans don’t. No birds involved. You say there was no conspiracy to rig or fix the election, simply that enough Democrats were just collectively moved by some invisible hand or spooky wind to individually twist, tilt, and cheat the election Biden's way. And then you slyly say that this move to subvert the election is perfectly understandable because if these misguided people actually believe Democracy is at stake, which they do, then of course they will feel a moral obligation to twist, tilt, subvert and cheat the results however they can... and by thousands upon thousands of small cuts bleed an election of its integrity and justness.. Huh? What do you know? But… wait… Apparently, by your reasoning, this mysterious wind only blows in one direction. Apparently, by your reasoning, there weren’t Trump supporters who believed only Trump could save our Democracy and protect our Freedom. And apparently, again by your reasoning, unlike those "only Biden can save Democracy" Biden supporters, these “only Trump can save the country” Trump supporters experienced no such misplaced moral calling to twist, tilt, subvert, and subvert the election Trump’s way in order to save the country. Only Democrats are collectively moved to cheat by secret calls in the wind. Republicans aren’t. No need for birds. Just say what Bruce says, Democrats cheat, Republicans don’t. |

Morning!
Paul augured nine post holes yesterday. Three were in the wrong place. Paul then augured three more post holes. How many post holes in total did Paul auger?
-helpful hint #1: The wind was out of the north at 9 mph.
-helpful hint #2: There was a large bird watching. The bird had a clove of garlic in its beak.

Morning! Off to ACME Rentals to get a post hole auger. Project "Deck for the Front of the House" starts today. Be careful if you get a hand held, gas powered auger. I was using one once and the auger hit a big root. The auger stopped, but then the top assembly, motor, handles etc started turning. I couldn't let go fast enough as it ripped the handles out of my hands and hit me. The top, engine, etc, made several revolutions before stopping. Yes, I had something similar happen to me once, and I learned my lesson. I now have my wife do the drilling. |

Oh, after a Duck Band practice, Dave told me he had felt the same tingle, and the tingle prompted him to vote twice more. And as we were talking, we heard this ruckus, and when we went out to see what was up, we saw Todd jumping up and down and flapping his arms for all he was worth. We left quietly without saying anything.

Things that think alike don't have to conspire to do amazing things together. That's interesting. And it does explain a few things. For instance, no one told me I had to vote twice, but when I went to vote, I felt this tingling, and something in that tingle told me I either had to find a way to vote again or else fly south for the winter. I wasn't sure which one it was, might have been both, but filling out those extra ballets for Joe definitely fed the tingle. So did backing over the neighbor's Trump sign. |

Pretty sharp people to know which six to put the fix to and that those six would be enough. Couldn't have been Democrats. Must have been those Chinese dwarves Trump told us were hiding in the voting machines. Sneaky little buggers.

[I'm assuming the above refers Millring's belief that certain people in power "re-purposed" the results of the 2020 election in order to keep Trump from being re-elected]
You've trotted this argument out before, but it is specious.
There was no talk of "Trump ending Democracy" until Trump actually tried subvert our Democracy in his attempts to overturn the 2020 election complete with his ongoing attempts to discredit and malign every single aspect of our electoral system: our local election workers and judges; our elected state officials from both parties who oversee and certify our elections; and the entirety of our country's judicial system which, per our Constitution, is supposed to be the final word... all this uncaring damage just to service his pathological id.
Prior to Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election which he had just lost, the criticism of Trump was not concerned with his attempt to destroy our democracy as his attempts to overturn an election he had just lost had not yet occurred. Nope. The criticism of Trump during the 2016 and the 2020 campaigns revolved around concerns with his character, incompetence, dishonesty, ethics, and his complete lack of focus, diligence, and even interest in the parts of the job that actually required thought and preparation... in short, work.

What I want is Gretchen. What I get will either be Biden or Harris. Or Biden then Harris. That's it. There are no other D's with a snowball's chance in Arizona. That's a fact, Jack.
If not Biden, then it's Harris. She is the sitting VP. She is leading in the "replace Joe" polls. She checks every box the Democratic party has to check. It would be political suicide for the Democratic party to pass up a woman of color who is the sitting VP and checks every box in favor of a white male or white female with less experience and lower poll numbers. The Democratic party has done dumb stuff, but it isn't that dumb.
