We are having a string of really really good weather here on the Planet Ann Arbor. The last two (weekend) mornings, Coffee Boy has served me my coffee in the Landfill Backyard. Here is the sun coming up. Yesterday was a Football Saturday and I could hear the UMich marching band practicing as I drank my coffee. It was sooooo loverly. Hail hail Michigan, the champions of the west. And I am not even a football fan.

But I do pay minimal attention to the “home” teams and football was a mixed bag this weekend. UMich won their game but the GG was unable to find it on TV so he could not watch it although he did walk downtown to mix with the 110,000 fans. The Li-ons lost today (although it ended up being quite close). He found that on TV but spent a lot of time sitting outside reading The Last of the Mohicans instead, bouncing in and out when it sounded like there might be some action.

I am frustrated about people that try to tie what they are calling “socialism” to Kamala’s “policies”. Does she have policies? I dunno but I also dunno why people keep trying to compare her “policies” to Trump’s “policies”. Trump? Policies? Whut? Infrastructure week? We never got to that during 45’s presidency (or whatever you want to call it). Over and over and over again he promised to replace Obamacare with something BETTER and we would know what it was in a couple weeks. Did that ever happen? NO IT DID NOT! And yet his “base” is still hanging on to his “policies”. Again, what policies?

The day after Kamala beat the pants off Trump in their one and only debate (because he is afraid to “debate” her again), I changed my facebook profile pic to one of me standing tall looking a weeeee bit like my dad/granddaddy and saying, “I stand with Kamala but live in a divided house”. My point was that I do not agree with my husband on the candidates but we somehow live together peacefully (well except for the usual marital crapola). Comments were respectful until today when, well, I won’t go there. Mostly. But…

Socialism was mentioned as an evil. Yes, socialism (not to mention communism and capitalism and WHAT ABOUT FASCISM?) can be evil. What other isms am I missing? But I think most of us have lost track of any precise definitions of these terms. If you want to define Kamala as a socialist, you must first define “socialism”. Then you have to connect “socialism” to anything Kamala has said or done. In a MEANINGFUL WAY. I don’t think most people can do that. I certainly can’t although I am a Kamala supporter so I am unlikely to.

Folks, you are unlikely to sway me from voting for Kamala so don’t even try. I do NOT want another term of Trump. I didn’t think he had a decent grip on reality back in 2016 and I do not think he has one now. My issue with him is not that I think he’s senile despite the word salad that he has been spouting SINCE 2016 (and probably before but I didn’t have to pay attention to him then). I think he is a narcissist who does not care about anyone but himself and therefore is not fit to lead our country.
