A father's choice

The judicial wheels in Michigan turn slowly but they get the job done.  I'll give the governor the benefit of the doubt in stating that she was acting, in good faith, for the public's greatest good; it could be worse.  Can Mr. Beagles finally get his cash deposits for all of those bottles and cans?

Too often when a person's mind is made up, it's made up without much consideration of facts and there's nothing I can do about it.  Is there a threat of an immigrant invasion?  I don't think so; I'd like some proof beyond the braying of an ill-informed autocrat.

Mr Beagles has made his voting preference clear but I'd like his opinion on something.  Suppose, years ago, he was in a conversation with Trump and the fifteen year-old Daughter Beagles walks by, with Trump commenting (as he did with Michael Cohen), "Look at that piece of ass, I’d love some of that.”  To be fair, Trump didn't know it was Cohen's daughter, but still... we already know that Trump agreed with Howard Stern when he said his own daughter, Ivanka, was a "piece of ass."

Is Mr. Beagles thinking, "This guy's got my vote!"

 

 

jocks vs jackasses

I don't normally comment on Tuesdays especially when there is not a post from Beagles, but as I was perusing the sports section this morning something occurred to me.  They are in the post season now, and while there were a few cases of corona at the start of the season, for most of the season they have been free of it.  This is 30 teams with rosters going up to 40 at sometimes, and then there are the coaches, grounds crews etc. and basically nobody got the corona.

Sure they have plenty of dough for preventive methods, but nowhere near the dough the white house had and certainly not the expert care, and yet look how many of the white house team have gone down.  That's all I wanted to say.

polls

And now it appears that your hero has not only been  too ignorant to keep himself from the corona, but also once he found out that he had it instead of quarantining himself he was spewing his covid breath over his allies so that now the reps aren't even sure that they have enough senators without covid to nominate their latest supreme court judge.  Well you have your mantra that keeps you from having to consult your conscience or think too deeply about anything.  

But thankfully there are people who think about things.  You know earlier I kind of disparaged the wishy washies, but now I am thinking maybe they are not as bad as those who are just dead set on something, like Sure he shot that guy in bright daylight in cold blood in the middle of Fifth Avenue but I am going to vote for him anyway because I have this unfounded fear that the other guy will take my gun anyway and nothing in the world can ever change my mind about that.

Well luckily many of the wishy washies and more than a few republicans, after noting what an idiot he was at that debate have realized the folly and are coming to realize that maybe Biden is a better choice because you know, he isn't bull goose looney, which has been reflected in the most recent polls, and we are still waiting on polls that will reflect the knowledge of his covid idiocy.

My sister doesn't believe in polls, well she is thinking mainly of the 2016 polls that incorrectly said that the big girl would win the election, but really what they said was that there was a two thirds chance she would win, but that left a one third chance that she would lose.

After all these years people wonder why is the weatherman wrong so often, and the reason is that it is so complicated, it is all about molecules of air and, oh I had to look it up, there are 

1.04 × 10⁴⁴ molecules of air in the atmosphere and it is all about how they bump into each other and if one hits the other just so that one will hit its neighbors just so, but if it hits it just a little differently it will hit its neighbors, and perhaps other neighbors a little differently and so on and so on until you get to the butterfly effect.  

Of course there are nowhere near 1.04 × 10⁴⁴  people in the country. but they are made up of  7*10^27  molecules, and unlike the atmosphere there are way more different kinds of molecules, and if you calculate how many people there are in the country, I think that puts us at maybe a million or a billion times less complicated than the atmosphere but of course that is just peanuts in this magnitude of numbers.  

Kind of a digression there but the point is the weatherman doesn't always get it right, but you do read him or watch him every morning and plan your day approximately with that.  And that is why polls mean something.

Victory!

 Remember when I told y'all about how our state legislature was suing our governor because she illegally extended her state of emergency without their approval?  At issue were two contradictory laws, one passed in 1945 and the other passed in 1976.  The 1945 law said that she could, and the 1976 law said that she couldn't.  Both the trial court and the appeals court ruled that the 1945 law took precedence over the 1976 law.  Then an initiative petition drive was launched to repeal the 1945 law, which would have settled it once and for all.  On Friday, October 2 the petition was submitted to the Michigan Secretary of State with 539,384 signatures on it, almost 200,000 more than was necessary.  On that same day, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the 1945 law was unconstitutional.  The repeal effort is being continued to get the law off the books so that a future Supreme Court decision can't reverse today's ruling, but the good guys have won, at least for now.  All of our governor's executive orders pertaining the the plandemic have been declared null and void.  If she wants to impose new regulations, she will have to collaborate with the legislature, which is what she should have done in the first place.

Trump's catching of the virus has not changed a thing for me.  I still plan on voting for him, even if he dies before the election, because I'd rather see a a dead man in the White house than a Democrat.

The main reason the hungry hordes didn't wreck this country two years ago is that Trump stopped them.  If it hadn't have been for him we might all be speaking Spanish today.

wise choices in troubled times

 So what made up your mind to vote for Trump was that somebody you hated hated him and he hated her back, and what confirmed to you that it was a wise decision was that it pissed off The Institute's very own kindly Uncle Ken.  Well it's good to know that we have steady and informed hands such as yours to steer the ship of state.

Steady and informed hands to choose the stable genius who helmed the richest and most powerful ship in the world into a covid morass, and now it appears that even though his office has way more preventive medicine than he has bothered to obtain for the country at large that has not prevented himself and his wife from getting the disease. Yes you have chosen wisely.

It would not take a Democrat three days to come out against white supremacists, so it's unlikely we would ever nominate a candidate to the liking of Beagles.

Oh, is the latest Latin American horde going to destroy America just like all the ones before it did?  Trump may not be able to save Beaglestonia because he may well be too sick.  Pence could step in but he has spent all the time maskless with the equally maskless covid breathers, and he might be too sick too.  But that's ok too because I'm sure Nancy could handle the situation.

 

The Die Is Cast

I think I made up my mind to vote for Trump more than a couple months ago, but I can't say for sure because it wasn't a hasty decision.  I remember wishy-washing about it for awhile, but I think what pushed me over the edge was when Queen Gretchen unilaterally extended her state of emergency declaration in defiance of our state legislature, which was last May.  I understand that Her Majesty and Trump hate each other's guts, which is good enough for me. Seeing how upset it made Uncle Ken tends to confirm in my mind that I made the right decision. 

I said that I might vote for a Democrat if they nominated somebody like George Wallace, but I don't think they make them like that anymore. 

I see that the hungry hordes from Central America are on the march again.  It's a little early for that, but I think they want to be first in line when Biden throws open the gates, which is another good reason to vote for Trump.

A Trumpust(ule) amongst us

 Well shit.  I wonder what tipped you,  Just a couple of months ago you were going to vote for the libertarian or some other third party nutcase,  I believe you even said you might vote for a democrat if the dems chose a dem you could get behind, which I didn't believe at the time.  Maybe that wasn't you, just one of those dolts you see on interviews.

Anyway since my vote and Old Dog's votes are meaningless due to the Electoral college, while yours has heft because you live in a swing state, I gleaned a little happiness from the knowledge that at least you were throwing your vote away rather than sending it like a poison arrow into the heart of America.

So what changed?  You say that the Democrats want to raise our taxes, take away our guns, and let illegal immigrants over run our country.cr But then you were saying that same thing a couple months ago when you were planning on voting for the 'Tarians, so what I want to know is what changed your mind in the last couple months.

I'm not going to go down the rabbit's hole of trying to argue logically with this because that would be a big waste of time and emotion,  I just want to know what changed your mind.
