Yesterday I posted I should moderate a presidential debate between the Republicans and Democrats. I could also and would enjoy doing one for all the non major party candidates.
I know one is done at one point, yet I would be honored to participate in that debate also.
Cheers
This is easy. I have spent years grumbling about the
failures of both major parties so I can be as close to impartial as anyone.
Some may say you don’t like Trump which is true, yet I am equally aghast at
years of Democratic ineptitude.
I would not be afraid to ask either candidate the real
questions this country wants to know the answers and stick with it or ask follow up questions
until they answer in full. I want the mute button and I promise you as much as I
would want to say something I would keep my own opinions out of it.
I also feel it would be an honor to moderate the debate and
would take the role very seriously. I say this because I know many readers know
I can be snarky or smarmy at times.
This country needs a debate where the candidates are held to
the fire and while there are many people in our country who could do that, one
side or the other is always going to throw out lack of impartiality of any
host. The media does have sides and it is obvious.
I think being the host allows me to address or frame
questions in such a way to give undecided and independent voters a real look at
both candidates. We know both bases are going to come out strong for their
candidate and it will be the independents and current undecideds that will pick
the winner so I think it is imperative they have a debate host that addresses
what they want to hear.
Here are the rules: I ask a question to a specific candidate
and that candidate has two minutes to answer the question. I then move on to
the next candidate and their question. I will ask both candidates most of the
same questions, but not in the same order just to keep them answering the
question, not throwing feces at each other. There will be no rebuttals. The
candidate answers the question asked and then I move on. Again each candidate
will get most of the same questions, not just in the same order. If they stray
off topic they get muted. They must answer the question asked.
I can be reached at my email on my profile and will clear my
calendar for when needed. October sounds good.
Cheers
And new parties,
Well at least one name changed, but it is still the same policies
that have not moved this country forward for decades. Essentially the same old
same ole, so what happens next?
I don’t know, maybe afterwards if Trump loses a new party
will emerge from the remnants of the old GOP, but will it be a rehash of the
Republican party or will fresh voices and faces bring forth a new era of
responsible centrist right policy, or is that just a pipe dream.
Right now there is an extraordinary amount of new news to
digest, and both campaigns are already in attack mode. I have seen some posts
on “X” that are ungodly out of bounds when it comes to human decency directed
at VP Harris, but that is all Elon Musk’s new version of free speech, so kudos
to him, not. And we all knew this was going to happen since Trump has unleashed
the worst of humanity and given them permission to denigrate any and all with
intense amounts of ugliness. I am not going to vote for her, but what is being
posted is an abomination of free speech and abomination of civil discourse.
So again we need new candidates and new parties and apparently
a new come to Jesus moment for some people, because whatever come to Jesus moment
Trump was supposed to have had, well Jesus came and Trump shut the door.
Project 2025 isn't just
for Trump, the people behind it are using Trump to get what a small group of so
called conservatives want. Their most honest statement is that this is for the
next "conservative" president. Right now Trump is their best option
since he holds such a sway over a large chunk of the electorate, however the
authors/backers would switch horses mid stream if it gave them the best chance
to implement their agenda. This is a blueprint for one heck of a power
grab and is much more than Trump. There is serious money and serious effort
behind this and it will not go away even if Trump loses. That is what is really
scary about Project 2025. The duopoly of the Democrats and Republicans have
failed us and these people realize it and are ready to fill a vacuum in
American politics and will destroy our country and constitution if given the
chance. Trump just benefits from it and he definitely knows something about it,
yet like everything with Trump he doesn't care about any details as long as he
gets what he wants.
Are aliens demons, are demons aliens, are they separate beings
from separate dimensions, do either exist? Well first of all they do somehow
someway in some dimension. Second I need to find out which one can cloak itself
and run around my dwelling. I swear I saw something run across the room twice.
At first I thought it was the dog, then I realized the dog was in another room.
The second time just kind of flipped me out.
Anyway I think it is demons because I cannot find my favorite
bell to ring. Nothing like a nice chime in the air to soothe the soul. Second
our shoe rack is collapsing and of course it cannot be because corporations use
shoddy material and all the cracks are because this is a second rate product.
Just cannot be a cheap piece of garbage made in wherever. So it must be demons.
Who else would make you pull something completely apart to see if it can be
repaired?
And all conspiracy theories are true. Just ask the people
that believe in them. Some though are more true and I feel one is developing
that is scaring the fecal matter out of me. I am talking about Project 2025
brought to you by the same people that say the deep state is out to get us.
And what is worse there are very smart people who don’t seem
to realize the depth of the problem. Some people think Donald Trump is the problem.
At this point Trump is the puppet and I am not talking the Putin puppet of 2016
which to be honest has some conspiracy theory truth to it. Still though the
2024 problem is some people including some very rich people are using Trump to
instigate a complete takeover of our country. He has no clue that he is being
used. They are whispering all sorts of things in his ears to rally his troops
to elect him. He is desperate to win because he is actually fearful one of
these prosecutions might work and put him in jail. He is ready to believe anyone
that tells him they can save him. And once he is elected they will be able to
control the reigns of government no matter who follows him. Sounds
conspiratorial, correct? Well go read the document outlining Project 2025. They
ain’t lying.
And yet all the Washingtonians intellectuals on both sides
of the aisle aren’t even giving this a second glance. People will disseminate
all sorts of madness about Trump and now Biden’s age. They will dive deep into
the ramifications of either winning the Presidency, yet they are not addressing
the monster behind door number 1. As a democracy we are about to be screwed if
Trump wins, but not because of Trump. Yet no one has seen the light. Well John
Oliver did, but he spends thirty minutes trying to tell us jokes while putting
a flashlight in the cave to see the monster. No elitist intellectual wants to
admit he is on to something. Yet you do not have to believe him, but do as he
says: READ THE DOCUMENT!.
Yep they published their plan, at least they did us the
favor of proving how stupid we are since it is right under our nose and we aren’t
doing anything about it. I still admire and respect these same intellectuals
that just cannot hear the rumblings from the dragon in the cave. I wish I was
as well read and well published to point out to them what they are missing. Sometimes
it helps if you can speak someone’s language to get them to listen to you. Yet
for all their education and experience in the world of DC politics they just
continue to pontificate on what they expect or what they deem are the problems.
They cannot be bothered to look outside the wall surrounding the mindset of DC
machinations to realize how dangerous the threat laying at the bottom of the
swamp ready to rise and eat them and then spit them out.
And for the rest of the country they are too busy worrying
about the things that matter and for the last forty years have wrought on us.
Our savings destroyed in 2009, our sanity destroyed in 2020 by a real pandemic
that no one to this day knows what to do if another one came along, and the
post pandemic financial disaster known as inflation that has eaten up our
wallets, savings, paychecks, and is headed for our children’s future. And in
total you have the ever increasing wealth gap, the deterioration of education,
the constant decline of healthcare along with the constant rise of healthcare
costs, the slow withering of social security and medicare, the increase costs
of any insurance you might purchase, and the list goes on.
And for some reason unknown to any sane person the Democrats
and Republicans think that either Biden or Trump is the person that can steer
this country to a better future. Oh yeah baby, conspiracy theories are all too
real and we are staring at one large monumental disaster that cannot be explained
in any rational way. The swamp monster known as Project 2025 and the ignorance
of DC is real and it is coming to eat democracy alive.
And if you think that I am a chicken little running around
screaming the sky is falling, well then don’t complain to me when a huge chunk
of it hits your life because it will. And what I am fearful of is that it has
for many people they just don’t realize it yet since we have had it too easy
for too long. And that historically is when things do start to fall apart.
I hope that we can keep this great country going, but it is
going to take some work and some people needing to wake up that we need new candidates
and new parties like yesterday.
You can blame many things on demons or aliens, but you
cannot blame our self destruction on them. We are staring it in the face. Or is
all this just a mirage to keep these same demons and aliens entertained. Either
way I still want a better future for me even though I am old, yet more
importantly for my children and grandchildren and on.
