Holy Sh*t - Notes on 2020, Vol. 16

After a considerable hiatus, I am back. I can pretend that POTUS and FLOTUS acquiring COVID had nothing to do with this. But then I’d be lying to you all. And we have enough lying going on in this Gucci belt-wearing, third-world country already.

Well, the anti-Trump insta-meme machines are full of it today. I fully expect to be sick of each and every one of them by dinner time. Setting aside blanket reactionary feelings of “Well, he downplayed and undermined the pandemic and this is what he gets,” the timing of it, from a Republican perspective, is far from favorable. This puts POTUS two weeks off from his campaign schedule and I’m sure this will hurt his numbers. Not that this means ice king Pence won’t be able to take on Kamala next week in the veep debate. I’m sure everyone is very excited for that.

The problem with these debates: they’re too spaced out. American politics should know their audience by now. We all have addictive personalities, we wanted more debates yesterday! They should all be back to back. This is how you all get our undivided attention. This is how you get people interested in politics again. I don’t think I’m alone when I say there is precious little space between being interested and completely, utterly disinterested when it comes to American politics. We all know Trump is ridiculous. We all know he has no instructive insight on how to run the country. And it’s all old hat. Sadly. So, yes, it’s a sin they don’t schedule the debates closer together. They’d have us by the balls.

I won’t give you a play-by-play of the debate nor will I pretend I remember every moment of it, because I don’t. But I will say that I found myself managing to hate Donald more and more by the moment. His opportunity to bring Americans together took a backseat to self-validation, deflection, and ensuring he publicly humiliated Biden in regards to his own children. Come on, Republicans. This guy is a bastard. And it’s fitting he acquired COVID, because maybe he will learn something about it, now that he has to quarantine at the White House with his estranged wife.

Well, needless to say, I will be on here more often now, seeing that we’re in the throes of the combative, mud-slinging time of the election year. What a time to be alive.

I will leave you with this: Please, don’t vote for this disgusting man.
