Today's one-liner: "The shortest way to the distinguishing excellence of any writer is through his hostile critics." Richard LeGallienne
The Australian Broadcasting Corp. is coming to Northampton County to cover the Presidential election. They'll be at this Sunday's Trump flag rally and are interested in what voters on both sides think. They are particularly interested in what first time voters think, as well as those who have changed their minds from the way they voted in 2016.
If either of these situations apply to you, please give Chloe Ross a call (202-329-7085) or email her at ross.chloe@abc.net.au .
You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
That's fair dinkum. Why did the koala cross the road? To see his flat mate.
ReplyDeleteSeeing Australia return to it's roots as a penal colony with it's Covid-19 crimes, as well as gun confiscations, what politicians are doing in the failed democracy that Australia has become is part of my overall decision to vote Trump.

ReplyDeleteMy family fits, we "caucus" as a family and have always voted as a block, all who could vote last time voted for Jill Stein, this time it's all Trump even our new voter, although we prefer and were in full support of Tulsi Gabbard without any arm twisting.
We all consider Trump a default vote and were hoping the DNC would provide a sagacious alternative candidate.
OMG I will miss Trump's "flag rally". I will be cleaning my toilets. Darn it all! I will think of him though while I work as I have my own "Dump Trump" flags rolled in my TP holder.
ReplyDeleteTo 10:51 comment: those are three wildly different candidates with different platforms and views. Your family block clearly doesn’t know what it stands for. Or doesn’t care.

ReplyDelete"those are three wildly different candidates"
Perhaps, but all three are hated, marginalize, or outright ignored, by the Main Stream Media, in that aspect all three are similar, also all were being accused of being Russian agents/assets by the crypto-scatological propagandists, and media outlets.
Any candidate looked upon as favorable or electable by Main Stream or Authoritative Media sources is usually not worthy of consideration, those are the shills. They will get most of the suckers.
What we stand for, and what we care most about, is rarely seen on the news, or represented by politicians, or expressed in main stream popular culture, if it was, we'd think less of ourselves, this is where we get our win, what we care little about is losing a lousy election.
Pssst. They call it Mainstream Media, because, you know, its sort of in the middle where most people are and easy to verify information there. Your complaints are hollow because you're in a off shoot, sub tributary stream that most people easily discredit, which in turn reflects poorly on you for continually supporting it.

ReplyDelete6 companies own your Main stream media they and cross verify each other.
