Today's First Political Post

If I had to pick the Number One reason to oppose Donald Trump getting a second term…well, it would be tough to pick just one. The fact that he's insane and determined to be accountable to no one would be a strong contender. So would the hatred and divisiveness he loves to spread. But I think if I had to choose just one, it would be his continuing insistence that he is the only thing standing between America and total poverty, disease, annihilation and general doomsday. His campaign is built on creating false panics everywhere.

If you read no other article to which I send you, read Kevin Drum's latest summation of how just about nothing negative that Trump says about non-Trump governance and the state of this country is true. There is so much room to do better but things are nowhere near as bad as the Republican candidate for the most powerful job in the world claims.

And while you're over on Kevin's site, read this about how Trump claims Kamala Harris went to meet with Vladimir Putin, told him not to invade Ukraine and then he did. This part about her meeting with Putin is a completely made-up story.
