What's going on

 People of the future, I promise this is non-fiction.

A day after the 'Rona in the Rose Garden event, Trump met some Gold Star families who were prepared to overlook his comments about "losers" and "suckers" who die in military service to this country.  None of the people in attendance has tested positive for covid, but he chose to blame them for infecting him. 

We still don't know exactly what they did to Trump during the "routine" trip to Walter Reed last November because everyone involved was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement.  Perfectly transparent.  By the way, Biden has dementia and takes brain drugs and is dying, probably.  

The experimental antibody treatment Trump got last week requires human fetal tissue from aborted fetuses.  Abortion is still legal, but not for long if Handmaid Amy has anything to say about it.

I just noticed that baseball playoffs are going on.  Was there even a season?  Who thought those disturbing cutouts of fans behind home plate were a good idea?  At least make them famous people like the cover of "Sergeant Pepper."  If the World Series had an In Memoriam feature like the Oscars it would include Tom Seaver, Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Al Kaline, Don Larsen and Whitey Ford.  That's five members of the Hall of Fame and a guy who got lucky one day.

The last Trump demographic is slipping away:  more than 1,600 "faith leaders" have endorsed Joe Biden, citing Trump's "cruelty and corruption."  Biden is getting more pushback from anti-choice Catholics than from the evangelical Protestants right now, which is kind of funny.    

Trump hates CNN so much, he's deploying raccoons, possibly rabid, against it.  Joe Johns was the most recent on-air target.  If this doesn't work he might try wolverines in tribute to the Wolverine Watchmen, the Michigan terrorist group who plotted to kidnap Governor Whitmer.  After the arrests Trump accused Whitmer of doing "a terrible job" and whined about her lack of gratitude to the FBI and him personally, of course.

Is Kamala Harris likeable?  I don't know, I never met her and I don't judge people by the personae they project on television.  (Exhibit A:  Bill Cosby.)  Is this a factor when it comes to judging women in public life?  Apparently.   Has she been an above-average senator who can be an effective vice-president, keeping in mind that Joe Biden will turn 80 in his first term?  Absolutely.  Did she "win" the debate with Flyspeck?  Let's look at a tweet from a truly unlikeable woman, Kelly "Sticky Fingers" Loeffler:

Generic Tweet is the name of my Fountains of Wayne-techno cover band.  We wanted Insert Name Here but it was taken by some Belgian dance troupe.

Like the sad high school baseball hero in Springsteen's "Glory Days," Trump would rather play the 2016 game than face today's lineup, which is why he's screaming at underlings to finally, finally get something on Hillary Clinton.  Mike Pompeo, technically (checks notes) Secretary of State, assured Dana Perino at Fox News, "I certainly think there'll be more to see before the election."  He means, of course, HER EMAILS!   When he's not being snubbed by the pope, Other Mike pores over millions and millions of deeply uninteresting, largely routine emails, sent from an UNSECURED PRIVATE SERVER, which may be the reason we lost Vietnam or something.  Alternately, Typhoid Donnie senses that time is running out and there are so many nasty women he hasn't locked up yet. (Like any.)  Our tax dollars at work.  

In addition to being technically challenged, C-SPAN is about as apolitical as you can be in covering politics.  They just turn on the camera (usually just one) and point it at the event -- a hearing, a big vote, a tedious speech to an empty House chamber or dressy people walking into a banquet.  I have no idea who Steve Scully is, though both Sean Spicer and Brit Hume have twittified* to his impartiality.  But Trump wanted the second debate moderated by somebody more impartialer still, like maybe Hugh Hewitt.  The ever-helpful Russian bots appear to have hacked Scully's Twitter account to make it look like he's conspiring with Trump turncoat Anthony Scaramucci.  There probably won't be another debate, but if there is, VERY VERY UNFAIR!!!  Sure, that's how Kennedy out-debated Nixon.

Meanwhile he's raving about the tiny windows again.  What about those windmills?  Still carcinogenic?

Remember Mahendra Amin, the doctor who's been industriously sterilizing migrant women for the ICEstapo?  (Surprisingly, he's also a Medicare fraudster.)  This story fell into the memory hole a month ago.  It must not be forgotten.

I'm tired.  I predict next week will be even more of a shitshow.  Please make normality happen again.
