Day of the Third Angel


Kamala's in Atlanta today, and isn't it interesting that everyone seems to refer to her by her first name, when virtually every previous president went by their last name?

Not that I'm saying it's at all assured that Harris will win the election, but recent polling and reporting suggests that the Great Red State of Georgia is in play and might go Democratic again (Georgia went for Biden in 2020). If Georgia goes blue, other swing states are sure to do the same.

Not that it will make any difference. I'm still convinced that regardless of the outcome of the popular vote, or of the Electoral vote for that matter, Republicans will contest the results in court. Disturbing recent reporting suggests that the far right has successfully installed election deniers into key battleground districts, and they very well may refuse to certify any results that aren't for The Big Cheat-Oh, Their refusal will be appealed, of course, and the case will eventually work its way up to the Supreme Court, who will install their orange hero regardless of the merits or the constitutionality of the case before them. 

And why wouldn't they? After all, a President Harris is sure to endorse Biden's recent proposal for accountability and a binding Code of Ethics for the Supreme Court, and they can't have that now, can they? No, they'll flip the middle finger to America, announce Trump the winner, and what are you gonna do about it, punk? Move to Canada? Write a letter? Post a snarky meme to Facebook? 

This is the last summer of America-As-We-Knew-It. Enjoy the season, savor it as if it's your last, because it's going to be.
