Garden
Today, I found our first cucumber and first zucchini. I also set up a new patio table. Unfortunately, the umbrella that came with it is too small. I may have to go back to our old one, or buy a bigger one... perhaps in bright red.
Politics
For yesterday and today, I have been listening closely to CNN radio. First, I listened to the Democrats making amendments to their platform. They seemed to know exactly how to do so and their amendments made sense to me, mostly.
Next, I listened closely to the Republicans making amendments to their platform. Unbelievable. Besides not knowing about "seconding amendments", "when to have discussion," what to do when somebody "calls the question." Surely somebody there must be acquainted with New Bedford Major Roberts' Rules of Order... but it did not seem so, and confusion reigned.
Some of the Republican offered amendments seemed crazy to me. But then, I should have expected it. Years ago, I was an officer of a Nation-wide organization and went to their conferences. However, after a couple of them, I was through. Each and every chapter president would get to the microphone to make comments and offer amendments... and many of those were also ridiculous.. they were designed to allow the speaker to speak and draw attention to themselves and their petty likes and dislikes. So was it was, it seemed to me, as I watched the Republican amendment maker stream.
I started to write down the Amendments so that I could put them into this blog entry. But, I gave up. Nobody except those who listened to CNN would believe some of them, so why bother.
The next CNN reporting was on the actual Congressional interrogation of the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. The Republicans on the House Committee treated her very shabbily.. they were mad because their favorite FBI leader had not recommended a jail term for Hillary Clinton. Ms Lynch preserved her "cool" and made the questioners look like assholes. And now, based on next to no evidence, a couple of Republican Reps have filed suit to investigate Hillary on her "veracity."
So.. here we go again... the Republicans are promising to do the following"
Reopen the Benghazi investigation.
Push to see the FBI evidence used to exonerate Ms. Clinton.
Kill Obamacare.
Investigate the "false" statements of Hillary.
Connect Ms. Lynch to Bill Clinton in conspiracy.
Get the FBI Director to confess to conspiracy.
In the meantime.. I expect that Mr. Trump will be asking the "Birthing" conspiracy to opened.
Mr. Trump has stated that when he is elected, one of the first thing that he will do is to order his Attorney General to "get" Hillary.
Look... if you are planning to vote for Mr. Trump.. look carefully at his words about Moslems, women, the disabled, Mexicans, etc etc. Do we want such a person running our country?
And, besides, when did America stop being "great?"
And, when you get into that voting booth and decide for the good of your family not to vote for such a person... also think about those things in the Republican Platform....which is against:
Obamacare
Women's Rights
Evolution
Global Warming
Marriage Rights
Immigrants
etc etc
