Donald Trump's Georgia Canoe is Sinking

-

Kamala Harris will take the canoe home. Georgia voters have had enough with voter suppression laws and pure thuggery.

Background: Donald Trump is helping Georgia Republicans lose both House and Senate in November. How? At his August 3 rally in Atlanta, he blessed what the Georgia State Election Board wants to do: steal the 2024 election in broad daylight. Georgia voters remember that anything approved by Trump is illegal and immoral, and they will vote the Genius GOP out.

Time to refresh the memory

I don’t know what a conspiracy theory is. Yes, I Googled it but I’m still clueless. Thanks to former U.S. President Donald Trump, I know that ‘conspiracy’ is a legal term with dire consequences. Here’s a re-cap for the people outside the U.S.

November 3, 2020: America has a presidential election.

Who was running?: Democratic Party fielded Joe Biden. The Republican Party fielded Donald Trump, who was the sitting U.S. President at the time. I think incumbent is the right word, if I’m not mistaken.

Who won the election? Joe Biden did. Donald Trump refused the accept defeat and told his supporters to storm the Capitol on 6 January 2021, to stop the usual peaceful hand-over to the winning president. You have a television set or a phone therefore, you saw what happened on that day.

That resulted in the ‘twin cases’, about Donald Trump’s conspiracy against American voters.

Washington D.C: 1 August 2023 indictment.

“The purpose of the conspiracy was to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election by using knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted and certified by the federal government.”

Georgia Fulton County 14 August 2023 indictment.

“Defendant Donald John Trump lost the United States presidential election held on November 3, 2020. One of the states he lost was Georgia. Trump and the other Defendants charged in this Indictment refused to accept that Trump lost, and they knowingly and willfully joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in favor of Trump. That conspiracy contained a common plan and purpose to commit two or more acts of racketeering activity in Fulton County, Georgia, elsewhere in the State of Georgia, and in other states.”

The U.S. Supreme Court will give Donald Trump the immunity he demands. Yes, it will, judging from previous opinions. What next? What happens to these twin cases?

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

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
