A Little Later Today

 I had breakfast with my brother this morning, so today's running a little late.

We have a chilly day on tap here in Central PA.  Our high this afternoon is expected to be in the low 60s (F).  Right now our outside temp is 48 (F).  We are supposed to have full sunshine, which is nice.  Most of my windows have a southern exposure so all of that bright sunshine pouring in through them will keep things at a constant temp.  My heat is set to go on if the temp drops below 68 (F) and so far that hasn't happened.

I did work yesterday.  Things were very slow at the flooring desk, which is where I spent most of my time since I was the only one in the department.  I also did a lot of aisle work since that's my new job description.  One of the full time specialists is talking about stepping down out of his position and moving to a different department.  He sometimes rushes through his sales without checking carefully, making mistakes that management is tired of correcting.  One of the appliance specialists is thinking of doing the same thing.  He had himself switched to a plumbing sales associate so he wouldn't have any metrics, but then stayed in the appliance department because he didn't want to work in plumbing.  Well, he's an appliance specialist again with metrics and he's upset because he's not going to be held accountable.  I suspect he will end up resigning.

As for breakfast with my brother, he's against the war, yet he still supports the Orange Anus. I suspect this is because for years Republicans have deluded themselves into believing that with the right conservative leadership, massive numbers of Americans would simply choose to become conservatives.  Republicans have been delusional since Reagan, so there's no fixing them.  He did say that if the GOP suffers badly during the midterms it's their own fault.  He's still not making the connection that he, himself, is one of the  millions who are to blame simply because of who they elected.

And, of course, last night this happened.

I actually saw the clip of him saying this.  His words are directed solely at his base.  No one else in America condones this evil.  Threats like this will not make him popular, nor will they win him supporters. I don't doubt he says things like this because his dementiated brain actually believes this and has no problem with a foreign government taking out Americans on American soil.  Comments like this might be one of the reasons Fox Entertainment is no longer carrying his rallies.  Perhaps Rupert has learned that airing hate like this is like walking into quicksand, without help there is no way out, and I'm fairly certain at this point that no one is going to throw Ruppie a rope to save his network.  The truth is that the Ellisons might actually be hoping for something like that to happen, since that might propel one of their Fox Lite channels into the number one propaganda slot.

The Rallies

Yesterday our weather was crappy.  Overcast skies, with drizzles throughout the day, and a high in the low 60s (F).  Last night I turned on my heat.  The thermostat is set at 68 (F).  I wouldn't mind the low temps, but I truly am tired of all the precipitation we've been getting.  We're supposed to have sunshine for the rest of the week with temps in the mid 70s (F).  I was hoping the transition to Autumn would be quick, however these weather patterns are dashing my hopes.

Something's up with blogger again.  Bob's Saturday post showed up this morning with a posting time of 0800 this morning, however it's 0732.  

I worked in the paint department on Saturday with a paint associate who used to be a doors and windows specialist until they started moving people around.  She's unhappy.  Her hours were cut.  However, besides her part-time job with the orange retailer, she has a full time job with the state that pays well.  She was complaining because her husband was up for a promotion and didn't get it.  And all the while I'm thinking, maybe she shouldn't have bought that Lexus last year, the one she told me she still owes $26,000 on.  The icing on the cake is that she is a Republican and a supporter of the pedo in the White House, and she is still waiting for him to make things great again.

So, I plucked my last tomato from my garden this morning.  This is a beefsteak tomato, however, when you see it next to a butter knife you know it's not that beefy.

The Orange Anus doxed Republican senator Tom Cotton on Saturday by publishing his personal cellphone number.  This is the sort of thing 12 year-old children do when things aren't going their way.

Orangie is also campaigning in 17 states to support Republican candidates.  There are those who don't believe he'll survive this, and some are praying he doesn't.  I'm betting he does, though by the time his last rally rolls around his speeches are going to be so off the rails even Fox Entertainment won't be carrying them.  He had one yesterday in Mississippi and he had a crowd, sort of.  Most of the people were wearing MAGA haute couture and I knew that these were people with a poor education, and poor jobs who seriously believed  Orangie was going to make them great.

We've got less than a month before the midterms and a day doesn't go by in which the Orange Anus doesn't do something to piss off even more Americans.  This is a good thing.  Saturday evening in Ohio he told Republicans that if they all go out and vote Republican victory was going to be so big they were going to celebrate by "shoving it up the Democrats ass."  I can remember when Republicans at least made the attempt to say they had ethics, and values, and morals.  Not any more.  And if November goes badly for Republicans he's going to strike out in anger.
