Did you know Trump is beating Obama in the polls! I sure hope Trump wins, because Biden will lead us into World War Two! To explain: Trump gave a confused, rambling speech on Friday at a rally in Washington. I hope it gets a lot of airtime.

If indeed trump is having brain problems, it will be very interesting to watch how his already borderline incoherent speaking style changes. Often the increasingly senile “lose their filters”. I’m not real sure what an unfiltered trump outburst would look like? Could you tell? ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > I’m not real sure what an unfiltered trump outburst would look like? Could you tell? I think if Trump’s filters were removed, it would allow for the possibility that a string of words that (purely by chance) form an honest and true statement could accidentally slip through. That’s how we’ll know. ---

Senator Jim Risch of Idaho inserted a clause into routine legislation that would have required planes flying in and out of Boise to take a circuitous detour so they wouldn’t pass over his neighborhood, then removed it from the bill when it got publicized. > **[Senator wants to reroute flights away from Southwest Boise, where he lives](https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/idaho-sen-jim-risch-wants-to-reroute-flights-away-from-southwest-boise-where-he-lives/)** > > WASHINGTON — Twice each decade, Congress approves a bill to fund and set the policies for the federal agency that oversees the nation’s air travel.

Old school quid pro quo corruption is downright refreshing these days, kind of like one of those old west historical re-enactments. ---

Republicans and conservatives in general seem to find whatever holidays and special occasions they can come up with and try to make it as horrible as possible for the minority being celebrated. Like when that fashion designer came out with a new line of dresses that looked like they had nooses around the collars, on Day One of Black History Month a few years ago. Trump being an asshole to liberal Jews? I did Natzi that coming. ---

I for one welcome such hatred of NYC that 9/11 is seen as celebratory rather than sober. Can I persuade him to show up at campaign stops east of the Mississippi?
