Of Course

 Another nice day is on tap for those of us living in Central PA.  Temps in the mid 80s (F), low humidity, and a sky full of sunshine.  I'll be doing laundry and hanging it outside to dry.  How cool is that? 

Work was... ah, so boring yesterday.  I talked to a couple of potential customers, but no measures.  Oh, and there was one large man with droppage (that's when your big belly drops below the hem of your T-shirt) complained that we didn't sell Lifeproof stairnoses.  "You can get them through a 3rd party online," he complained, so I looked.  He was correct, searching did reveal a matching Lifeproof stairnose, however I didn't click on the link because frequently you can Google something, and you'll get several hits, but when you click on them they take you to our website and the product you're looking for is nowhere to be found.

And, of course, we talked about the Supreme Court's decision to create an imperial presidency. 

I am extremely disappointed, as, I suspect, most of you.  In an odd way, I can see where they're coming from when they say there are certain things that a president should be able to do without having to worry about repercussions.  For example, the decision to drop the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Japanese honor would never have allowed Japan to surrender without those two horrific events, the war would have continued, and more Americans would have died, so they were considered official acts.  January 6 was not an official act stopping a war, it was a riot started by a bitter man who refused to accept the fact that he was a loser.  To try and think that these 2 acts are similar is pure stupidity, yet this decision by the Court fails to define what is official.  

There are those who fail to see the importance of voting in November.  They don't understand we're not voting for one person, but for Democracy.  The Republicans want an authoritarian government.  Authoritarian governments create rules and regulations to control the people, and those rules and regulations will be continually tightened because these governments don't care about people, they just want to dictate.  This authoritarianism will not happen here.  Conservatives do not understand that Americans are armed to the teeth.  Centrists and liberals will fight back.  We may end up with armed conflict which would not only crash our economy, but quite possibly the world's economy.  Of course, maybe this is all supposed to happen.
