Who we elect for president, seems to matter to the rest of the world.

Our dotard in chief, Joe Biden, is the president, but he doesn’t appear to be mentally competent.  No one is certain who is making presidential decisions.  Today, October 9th, 2024, North Korea has decided to cut road and rail links to South Korea.

A year into President Trump’s term, the North Korean leader and the South Korean leader shook hands at the demilitarized zone between the two countries.

The world degrades quickly with no American leadership.

Letter from Dennis Kucinich

Dennis Kucinich has a bunch of crazy ideas, but he does seem to have integrity.  Bernie Sanders is similar.  I’d never vote for either one.  Kucinich put out this statement with a few interesting observations, and a whole lot of superfluous jabbering.

When I heard Vice President Harris brag about former Vice President Dick Cheney endorsing her candidacy, that put the exclamation point on the fact that the leaders of the Democratic party are for war. I am not.

A paradox of this campaign is that the much-villainized former President Trump, (representing a party that has also taken us into unnecessary wars) is the one who speaks to the need to negotiate and to talk directly with potential foes in order to avoid war, or to end it.

What seems like a paradox to Kucinich is really his misunderstanding.  President Trump got the leaders of North and South Korea to shake hands at the DMZ.  That is incredible.  Trump also got the Abraham Accords signed by Israel and Saudi Arabia.  Putin invaded Ukraine under Obama and Biden.

When Trump took office, he was opposed by all of the Democrats and half of the Republicans.  He was opposed by the war industry puppets to whom Kucinich refers.

Kucinich did not take the courageous step to endorse Trump.  That would have been something.

Eight years ago, we should have spent more time talking about how much Mike Pence resembles Race Bannon from Johnny Quest.

Vote for whomever you’d like, I just think Tim Walz does resemble a walrus.

When Tim Walz takes his grand kids to play miniature golf, does he put pencils in his mouth and make walrus noises to amuse the children?  If not, then, missed opportunity.  Miniature golf is fun.

Turns out that Walz doesn’t have grandchildren, so he should file that tip away for later use.

It occurs to me that if I worked with an anthropomorphic walrus, like one might on BoJack Horseman, I might call him ‘Walz” if we got chummy.

Vote for whomever you’d like, I just think this kind of thing is funny.
