Joe Biden Silently Delivers

-


I hope House Republicans are not playing tag with the intention to impeach Joe Biden, the sitting U.S. President, with the hope that it will result in an ocean of votes in 2024. You impeached our president, we will impeach yours. That might not work because Joe Biden has a halo around him, that is only detected by voters. His voters don’t waste time on the internet, celebrating his virtue. They sit and wait. How they wait. They are now waiting for 2024. 

Republicans are hoping voters will find something similar in both families. Donald Trump was impeached because he is a bad guy. His family is currently in a New York court because the Trump organization was found liable for fraud. How about the Biden family? They are just as bad. We, Republicans intend to impeach the President and his son Hunter Biden is also in and out of court, for this crime or the other.

No problem. If Republicans feel voters will see that Joe Biden is not as pristine as snow, and vote for Trump, that’s fine, but remember, both will be starting on a clean slate. Biden has the advantage of having this halo around him. He’s the guy some Americans sleep well at night knowing that he’s the President. He’s a likeable fellow. How? We shall never know, but voters that like him know.

What halo? It’s not scientific. How can you just like someone so much, you want him to be President? It’s not scientific, but it’s the human element, something politics destroyed a long time ago. Likeness is human. We like some people, we don’t like others. Period. I had a boss who didn’t know anything about the job. I did. One day she said, “I can’t stand her anymore.” I was out of the door after a bogus disciplinary hearing.

Because of Biden’s halo, Republicans might be killing themselves with their own spear, by impeaching him. Big wigs in the party will vote for Donald Trump and present him as the 2024 presidential nominee. Did they ask the mechanic, bus driver, farmer, nurse or factory worker they will vote for such an ‘illustrious’ human being? The answer is 2024.

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
