Debate Prediction

Chris Wallace will not ask any seriously uncomfortable questions of Trump...He will let him lie and project.

And he will make Biden defend against baseless lies. "Mr. Vice President ...How do you respond to that ?"

Should I kill a chipmunk

Firstly I am a vegetarian and love animals...

But this bugger is digging up the paver base under my patio .. I ignored it --- but its threatening the stability. He stores food inside the patio furniture ( in the winter when it is covered) ... there are droppings all over the place ... it drives me nuts..

I tried trapping it .. nothing happened .. it ate the bait though


I am thinking of killing it by making it walk the plank. killing is ILLEGAL in NJ ..as they are protected. what should I do.

I thought if Roe v Wade is overturned ..what is left for Republicans

They can no longer use it a wedge issue.

But I remembered there are many more steps left from making America into a christian nation ..( or as they call it - 'GREAT').. These assholes will not stop until they have Talibanized America...

Here are the structural reforms for police that I can think of


1) Get rid of municipal, transit, college, country police units ..Just have frigging STATE POLICE funded at state and federal level. They should be funded by income/sales tax. Not by Property taxes and traffic tickets.

2) No joining the police out of high school.. the lowest uniformed position should require a 4 year degree with some real world experience. This will automatically eliminate wannabe GI Joes - probably the biggest source of bad cops.

3) 2 year probationary period following police academy - prior to permanent hire.

4) Recruitment/Promotions/Contract should be through a state agency - free from nepotism and subject to legislature oversight.

5) Adequate representation of Minorities.

6) Central records of cop behavior. No Jumping precinct to precinct.

7) Special prosecutor for investigation of cop related crimes.

In seeking to boil the frog , Trump has been steadily increasing the temperature



He increases it some by saying/doing something outrageous that would have been the end of any other politicians career.
we are shocked
Republicans shrug - say its no big deal
Media does its headless chicken run
And the cycle repeats itself


Even if Biden gets elected -- it will take a lot of time for things to cool down and and for healing to begin.

Win or Lose - Trumpism has undone decades of progress.

Feel like drawing a dic pic next to Donald Trump

When push comes to shove ..This is what I am hoping for

If Donald Trump denies election results and tries to stay in power..

It will be payback time from Military high command.

The Generals will abandon him faster than you can say achoo.


Once he loses Military .. he we will back to being a failed businessman and successful conman.
