Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

Re: 2024
Important speech yesterday in Minnesota by the Orange Moron. Summary of points made and policies discussed:
1. He will now behave “worse” than he did before.
2. He talked about his friend “the late great Hannibal Lecter.”
3. Noted that he hits golf balls really hard and he taught a pro-golfer new tricks.
4. Told the crowd that Margaret Thatcher never laughed like Kamala Harris.
5. Talked and lied about his crowd sizes over and over.
6. He is like Elvis but “with no guitar.”
7. He wants to start a fight league for professional UFC fighters to attack migrants.
8. He asked people if they remembered Hunter Biden’s laptop.
9. Called Kamala Harris a lunatic and said that she can only beat him if she cheats.
10. San Francisco is communist.
But they “like his policies.”

There's a difference in interpreting things like "black jobs" and "sh~thole countries" and "I'm gonna rule like a dictator on the first day only" and "you won't have to vote any more... it'll be fixed" and "turned black" on and on
vs. mixing up politicians names and locations and other gaffes.

Unfortunately for Kamela, prices are up 19 percent from the start of the Biden/Harris presidency, and interest rates have stayed at a two-decade high since July 2023 as inflation has remained above the Fed’s target of 2 percent.
Will be interesting to see if she can shake that record.

How the press and social media and politicians themselves edit, distort and curate pithy sound bites for desired context can make benign appear malignant, and visa-versa. Easy enough to find examples illustrating this phenomenon from all sides. Consequences for being called out are minimal, as the points are already on the scoreboard and the base has gobbled up and regurgitated the message. It's already on to the next, and the next, ad infinitum.

Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama never needed anyone to interpret what they were saying. All 3 were great communicators. Folks may not have agreed much with what they had to say. The message was loud and clear.

then impugning the motives of people who do not use the latest woke term. What was previously the preferred terminology is now insensitive (or worse). It's a gimmick to perpetuate perpetual victim status.
