This New Yorker cartoon is pretty much how I feel at this moment. This election can't be over soon enough.

 Emails? You can't be serious. In Donald Trump we have a person who is perhaps the least qualified temperamentally and intellectually we have ever nominated for President. Brags about sexually assaulting and harassing women. Makes fun of disabled people. Bankrupted 4 casino's. Is being sued for a fraudulent "University". Has had at least twelve women come forward and say they were sexually harassed by him. Feuded with a Gold Star family. Withheld donations to Veteran's charities and only paid(partially) when called out on it. Used his own foundation to pay off lawyers fees and reward a Florida Attorney General to look the other way in one of his lawsuits. Wondered why we don't use nukes. Had the honor of winning Politifact's "Lie of the year" 2015, not just for any one lie but his whole campaign. Let's not forget the wall he wants build to keep the Mexican rapists out. Let's keep out those Muslim's too. Had to think about disavowing David Duke, a former KKK leader. Thought women should be punished having an abortion. Thought a Federal Judge, born in Indiana, should be disqualified because of his Mexican heritage. Accused rival's father of being involved in President John Kennedy's assassination.

Yet we worry about emails sent from a wrong type of server. November 9th can't get here fast enough.

More Cracks

 

 

 

 

Congratulations to Hillary Rodham Clinton being the Democratic nominee for President of the United States. She is also the first woman doing so putting more cracks in that glass ceiling.  This picture is the most compelling and moving. It's was a quiet proud moment of a mother watching her daughter Chelsea speaking about her at the Democratic Convention. One wonders what she is thinking at that moment. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poor Susan

Poor Susan Sarandon looked like she was having an awful time. It must have been like going to a movie you hate. In a way she's the face and spirit of "Bernie or bust". The "I didn't get the toy I wanted so I'm going to sulk and or throw a tantrum" face. She's no Hillary fan so it's not likely she was going to get what she wanted at the convention.

Bernie did manage to move the party platform to left on issue's that were important to his movement. Not exactly sure what Susan or other Bernie or busters crowd was expecting. Bernie had already endorsed Hillary and it was clear he was moving on. Unfortunately many of those he inspired have yet to reach the same place. Recent polls do show that 90% of Bernie supporters will vote for Clinton but a staunch and vocal 10% continue to hold out.

 Many Bernie or buster's, like Susan, just can't see themselves voting for Hillary. She describes "in a way she's more dangerous" than Trump. They even boo and heckle Bernie himself and Senator Elizabeth Warren. I have a feeling nothing short Bernie running for President will satisfy any of them. Maybe they thought by holding there breathe and stomping on the ground they'd get there way.

Maybe I'll go watch Susan in Bull Durham later so I can see her act like a grown up.

Hillary is evil
