Brad Raffensperger For Himself

-


Background: Politics is like a game of cards. Players decide which cards to hold close to their chest, to be released at a certain point. Brad Raffensperger, Georgia Secretary of State is good at the game.  We know about Trump's phone call telling him to find 11,780 votes to defeat Biden, because Raffensperger leaked it. Why? Looking out for himself. He played a different card in the last Georgia Senate Run Off election.

Old post, 6 December 2022 titled Brad Raffensperger's Memoir.

Brad Raffensperger, Georgia Secretary of State is working on his memoir, or he’s contemplating it.

That is why he should ensure that no party element tries to tamper with the result of the 6 December Senate Run Off election between Ralph Warnock and Herschel Walker.

Raffensperger’s memoir will be a historical account of his life, especially his input in enacting the 2021 voting laws to make it difficult for Georgians to vote. His publisher must warn him that he cannot distort history, and label himself pro-democracy. Examples.

Early voting turnout. He is on national television claiming that the high early voting turnout is proof voter suppression laws are not suppression. They are. That’s why his new laws compressed Run Off elections from 9 to 4 weeks. The early voting turnout is proof that he cannot stop the rain. Georgia will vote by car, truck and on foot.

Early voting after Thanksgiving. No matter how many peaches he eats, Raffensperger cannot sugar coat the truth, how he tried to prevent the strong voter turnout he’s claiming. Initially, he gave the directive that there will be no early voting on Saturday after Thanksgiving. Why not? He quoted state law. Ralph Warnock and Democrats went to court. They won. Raffensperger took the matter to the Appeals Court. The Court said all Georgia counties can vote.

His memoir must include these milestones, his milestones as an anti-rainist. With all his voter suppression laws, he could not stop the rain. Georgia will vote, come rain come sunshine.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
