“2020”

By Jim Culp

Here we are again. The end of the year is coming very soon. It’s been a long one, and one that most of us would probably like to forget. We’ve seen riots, brutal police practices, and a global pandemic that still isn’t over.

Our country stands upon the brink of utter ruin, and people who cannot see that are as blind as an old man that left his readers in the bedroom, and the Sunday paper is a big blur.  It is an election year, and once again, we’re stuck with two candidates that as preferable as our country’s leaders as I am to be the next candidate for Miss America.

I watched my Steelers play yesterday, and even though they are on a winning streak this year, they still suffer from poor management and a lack of trying new things. After that game was over, I watched 20/20, and the first set was Leslie Stahl interviewing President Trump. He danced his way out of every question, lied five times, and finally got mad and walked out. Very presidential indeed. Anyone that is not convinced that Trump is a pathological liar is a very confused individual indeed. Trump lies twice as much as he ever tells the truth, and people still follow him.

Next was Leslie interviewing Vice President Mike Pence. Pence praised Trump for his victories (great and small) and supported him at every turn. He’s a true puppet. I’ve never had much use for Pence, but I am far from finished on the subject of Vice Presidential candidates.

After some commercials, we turned to the lovely Norah O’Donnell interviewing Joe Biden. Norah stuck to business, and asked Joe some tough questions, and reminded him of his age. He will be the oldest person to ever serve as POTUS if he is elected. Joe touted the normal statistics, and had a tough stance on Trump. He made a big mistake by claiming a tuition cost for so many students would be x-dollars, and fact checks immediately stated that they would be double that.

Joe, you’re getting old dude. Slow down and think before you speak. Stop trying to talk as fast as a twenty year old girl at a pageant.

The last interview was Norah with Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Kamala is a good looking Indian/British/Jamaican woman, and a very smart person. She has a massive amount of experience in running large agencies, and served as the Attorney General of California. I would have thought Joe would have picked her to be his AG, but whatever.

Kamala started the interview like she had just smoked a joint, and was going to laugh everything away. Norah set her straight in two minutes. They had a good interview, but one thing that stuck in my craw was that Kamala said she would “Do whatever Joe tells me to do.” There are a thousand tingles in my bullshit meter that tell me she won’t. I think she will follow that recipe for a short while, but then she will challenge him when it comes to extremely liberal agendas.

Once again, we are faced with two candidates, and neither one is preferable to me. One is a narcissistic douche-bag, and the other might wake up tomorrow and forget who he is. That’s how we roll in ‘Merca these days folks.
