Hi
there!
Word
of caution: today’s post is political.
That’s
4 days in a row of political posts.
Really?!?
Yes,
really.
And
I’m sorry.
I
promise tomorrow’s post will not be political.
It’s
gonna be about comic books.
But
today…
Sorry.
More politics.
Anyway…
Tuesday
there was a special election here in North Carolina for the state’s 9th
Congressional district.
The
Republican candidate, Dan Bishop, won.
Which
I find quite a cause for concern.
Why
was North Carolina even having a special election for the state’s 9th
Congressional district?
Because
in 2018, the election results for the 9th Congressional district got
tossed out after the exposure of significant efforts of election fraud on
behalf of a different Republican candidate.
North
Carolina was having a special election for the state’s 9th
Congressional district because in the 2018 election, some Republicans were
caught cheating.
Well,
you would think that would be a strike against the party. But apparently not.
Then
let’s factor in Donald Trump’s visit.
Trump
came to North Carolina ostensibly to stump for Dan Bishop which I guess he did
for like a whole minute but mostly he did what he usually does which was brag
about himself and whine about his enemies.
Now
let’s put Trump’s visit in context with recent events.
A
couple of days before he arrived in North Carolina, it was revealed that Trump
had invited the Taliban to Camp David for a sit down meet ‘n’ greet on American
soil on the week of the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
More
context: Trump’s visit to North Carolina was in Fayetteville which is located next
to Ft. Bragg, easily one of the biggest and most important army bases in the United
States. From Ft. Bragg, hundreds (if not thousands) of troops have gone to
Afghanistan and put their lives on the lines fighting the very terrorists who
gave cover to the attackers on 9/11, the very same terrorist group that (and I
still can’t wrap my head around this but here we go) Trump invited to Camp
David for a sit down meet ‘n’ greet on American soil on the week of the
anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Really!!!
Yet
there was the usual gang of cheering Trump supporters celebrating every inane
thing Li’l Donnie had to say and then a day later voting for a candidate who was
very vocal and emphatic in his support for Donald Trump, the same man who (seriously)
invited fucking Taliban to Camp David for a sit down meet ‘n’ greet on American
soil on the week of the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Son
of a bitch!
Yes,
Trump did cancel the invitation for the Taliban to come to Camp David for a sit
down meet ‘n’ greet on American soil.
On
Twitter, Liz Cheney wanted to give Trump credit for doing the right thing in telling
the Taliban not to come to Camp David.
NO!
I’m not in favor of crediting Trump for rescinding an invitation that was his
dumb idea and should never have been extended in the first damn place!
But…
This
small minded, thin skinned narcissistic, traitorous bastard comes to my state
to tell people to vote for Dan Bishop and the next damn day, people fucking vote
for the guy who represents the party that tried to steal the election in the
first damn place last year.
I
have so little hope for the future.
Tomorrow?
Seriously, I need a break.
Comic
books, y’all!
