They're hitting the Panic Button

 Sunday isn't always Funday.  Sometimes work gets in the way.

I had an 84 year old man yesterday who wanted to put inexpensive carpet in his basement... himself.  He obviously thought he was physically capable to undertake his task.  He wore sunglasses through most of the 20 minute transaction until he exclaimed, "oh, I still have my sunglasses on.  That's why I can't see right."  His wife was with him.  She was too complacent.  Now, I'm not saying he wasn't sharp, he was, however his plans were designed for a much younger version of himself.  We all have our limitations, which is why most of us, at a certain point in our lives, pay someone to do the job.

One of the things I need to do on workdays is take my temp.  I'm a little over 95 (F), my reptile genes must be running the show since I seem a little cold blooded.

And I don't know about you, but from where I sit I can smell the stench of Republican Desperation.  The death of RBG is a chance to make the Courts Conservative.  The Idiot Jerk in the White House sees this as a way to give his failing campaign a kick in the ass to try and get it moving.  This is what you expect from a political party so out of touch with America.  And overwhelming every one of their actions is the silently terrifying fear they're going to lose everything which, is why Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death is causing them to hit the Panic Button.

Let me explain.  I watched a clip of Biden reading a statement about RBG's death and as he left the room a reporter yelled out "are you planning on increasing the number of judges on the Supreme Court?"  Republicans simply don't understand how easily their majority can be turned into a minority.

As for the Idiot Jerk's nominee?  It's going to be a woman.  Can we talk stupid here?  Not about the gender, but about the fact that he believes women will vote for him because his nominee has tits.  This tells you a lot about Conservative thinking in regard to women.  They don't understand women are intelligent.  They believe women will forget that they've been fighting for gender equality for years,  that they want to make their own decisions over their own bodies and not be restricted by rules some Cracker Jack Christian has put in place.

These Conservatives are phonies straight from hell, and it's time to send them back to where they belong.

Vulnerable

 Yesterday was drizzly, with rain on and off, and very warmly humid.  I had turned the A / C off since the previous day temps had been fine...  And, of course, I forgot to turn it back on yesterday morning before I left for work, so when I got home it was steam room city in my house.  More rain is forecast for today, with  possibly a thunderstorm this evening.  California's supposed to get record breaking heat again this weekend... and like all weather patterns it will move east. Yippee!

Things seem to be slowing down at work.  That is normal for this time of year.  People become less active as the cooler temps of fall arrive.  Well, at least they're supposed to start arriving.  We are running a $5 pain rebate which means now's a good time to buy my hall paint.  The colors are slowly being narrowed down.  And some picture frames arrived 2 days ago.  I'm framing the original artwork for my book covers to display in my newly painted hallway.  

As for the possibility of the Idiot Jerk in the White House having Mini-Strokes?  Well, he has always been socially dysfunctional to a degree.  He has been manipulating the media for years, even his reality show was designed around his ability to skirt the edges of reason.  He has been pushing the boundaries of his own lunacy in order to get the attention he craves.  His success has always hinged upon his ability to spit out extravagantly outrageous criticisms. What we are seeing is his braggadocio becoming more outlandish.  My Mom had dementia and she would sometimes make things up as her mind slowly seeped into her own reality.  The Idiot Jerk?  There may be a hint of early stage dementia, but mostly he lies on purpose.  More and more, he's relying on the freakish nature of those lies as he desperately grasps for a means to get himself re-elected.  For him, to get fired, will be a mind crushing humiliation.  Come on people, let's humiliated the Hell out of him.

This being said, I don't find it surprising he's encouraging the residents of North Carolina to break the law by trying to vote twice.  This is not dementia, this is dirty desperation.  He will continue to be more absurd, which hurts him.  There is no rationality in his campaign.  He is throwing as much shit as possible.  Well, let him throw it.  All of that shit only makes him weaker and more vulnerable. 

For those interested, below are 4 of the colors I've chosen to eliminate for the hallway.
