Hiatus Ramble - 8/28/2024

Good Ol' Matty P is going to be on hiatus for a week or so, while traveling on some pleasant family business.

Just a few thoughts as a parting message:

Apparently Vice President Harris has a greed to an interview on CNN with Dana Bash, and with her running mate, Governor Walz in tow. The interview will be taped in advance, so what we will see is an infomercial, not a real interview.

She has also agreed to a debate with former President Trump. It'll be on ABC, an extremely anti-Trump entity. It will be interesting to see if Trump can manage himself. If he does as well or better than in the Biden debate in June, he'll be very successful. If she can lure him to fly off the handle, and he goes rogue, she will emerge the winner.

I do realize she's way, way left of me, but I really like Nicole Shanahan. I like the way she communicates and I get the sense she's sincere. I like her a lot. For that matter, I also like RFK Jr., warts and all, and Tulsi Gabbard, who is my favorite of the three. Some of my friends are completely unwilling to even consider liking these Democrats turned Trump supporter. Some of my friends are stubborn bastards.

Shanahan, Kennedy, and Gabbard all have their differences with Trump, but recognize sometimes for the greater good you compromise principle for the practicality of avoiding an even worse outcome. They recognize that it's a binary choice, and KH is a worse choice. Some of the anti-abortion/pro-life absolutists abandoning Trump (who nominated the judges who overturned Roe) could take a lesson here.

I heard it said, and I think it was correct, unintentionally but surely, Donald Trump has exposed the uni-party portion of the GOP. These are the noteworthy neocon and establishment types who are now backing Harris or sitting out in protest. Thanks for self identifying as members of the uni-party, scumbags. Trump has brung out the real you. Fuck the real you.

Jack Smith has refiled a new indictment against Trump. He, and his boss AG Merrick Garland, too, are obsessed with interfering with the 2024 Presidential Election.

Jack Smith is a partisan political hack. He's also an asshole.

Trump, if elected, needs to clean out the entire upper echelon of the DOJ and FBI, ALL the U.S. Attorney's offices, Intelligence apparatus, State Department, Department Homeland Security, and other agencies. Have them all, every last one above whatever is the right level to protect the rank and file, tender resignations ON DAY ONE, with job application attached if they want to stay on. I am talking about thousands of Federal Employees. This has to be done to clean out the Merrick Garland's down to the Alexander Vindhman's.

I am finally fully and totally convinced: The 2020 election WAS stolen. The 51 intelligence official's letter and the FBI pressuring social media and news media to squash the Hunter Biden laptop story, which the KNEW without question was legit, deceitfully calling it Russian disinformation, was the difference in the election, other cheating notwithstanding.

I have lots more to say, but our travel preparations are waiting. See you round the first part of September.
