I have a job currently that is
taking away a lot of time I used to have to watch shows on Mondays. I will have
a chance to see Monday shows at least once or twice before this temporary job
ends. But this means missing shows on Mondays that I like to watch. I have not
been able to see much, but can still catch some of the shows I like or record
others for later. Still, all the shows that I have seen in the past that have
aired on Mondays are 9-1-1, Bull, The Good Doctor, and Black Lightning. I also
might want to check out the shows of Bluff City Law, All Rise, and Prodigal Son
if I’m able to see them. But I might not like them and have yet to know for
sure just yet.
最高法院在《时代》杂志在其文章中谈到的2018年任期中提出了他们最糟糕的决定之一：“最高法院的俄亥俄州判决对投票权意味着什么？”。该文章来自日期为2018年6月25日的问题。他们裁定在这种情况下压制选民是合法的，这很糟糕，但是应该在像俄亥俄州这样的关键摇摆状态下进行。俄亥俄州只会因为错过一个联邦选举周期而将人们从选民登记名单中删除。根据问题的第8页，关于从选民中清除选民的普遍保守观点是“必须保护选票免受欺诈”。尽管有这样一个事实，“无党派…办公室在2014年发表的一份报告说，没有证据表明美国存在广泛的选民欺诈行为。”
文章继续解释说，人们理所当然地“担心该决定的影响可能在未来的选举中传播到俄亥俄州以外”，一位名为Lonna Atkeson的选举专家说，受影响的人“将是不成比例的民主党选民。”该文章提到，有“另有六个州也有类似的法律。”它提到一位投票权专家说：“其他州级秘书确实有将其视为驱逐选民的借口的真正风险”，这在佐治亚州将会看到正如他们现在的州长所做的那样。
El número 6-25-2018 de Time
habló sobre la infame política de separación de niños en un artículo titulado
"La pesadilla de un padre en la frontera de los Estados Unidos". Una
cita importante en este artículo proviene de Diane Eikenberry, quien dijo en la
página 6 de la política: "Esto es definitivamente nuevo ... Es algo que no
hemos visto". La política de separación familiar que Trump tenía era una
que él llamó tolerancia cero, que separaba a los menores de sus familias. Para
empeorar la política, "se ha extendido no solo a quienes cruzan la
frontera ilegalmente", sino también "cuando los padres han seguido el
protocolo legal para solicitar asilo". Eso es lo que hace que todo este
proceso sea increíblemente cruel.
I promised a former facebook
friend and cousin-in-law that once the Trump administration was over, I would
post the five best things about Trump on my page. While I think that I can get
to five, it does help that he signed a great law on autism. Now if only he
weren’t against protections for those with pre-existing conditions like those with autism…
In today’s look back at an old
blog post, here’s a link from my Elementary blog. In it, I talk about some of
the books I read. Sometimes I read Train. There are many books by that name so
hopefully you can guess which one it is. I also have only four books left
before I’m done with the bible. Something that is worth noting is that this is
a poorly done recap, like far too many of them are. If I have two laptops and I
have the show recorded on one, I should have just used the other to write the
post. I also talk about the power of background music and reference the film 8
Heads in a Duffle Bag. I have seen a small part of the film, but otherwise know
nothing about it.
Could the Trump presidency be
in danger of ending before January 20th, 2021? I wish that I could
be 100% sure that he would leave office on that date. I am about 60% sure that
he will leave then. But now with all the Ukraine scandal going on, I believe
that it is possible that he leaves office before his term ends. But I do think
that I can write a good poem about the man.
Deplorable does not describe
his followers, but it does describe him
Oh, how I want his presidency
to end
No one should support this
lunatic
All should shun him and his
evil ways
Liberals know better than to
support him
Dumb people see zero wrong or
lies in him
Terrible are his ways, indeed
Russia overshadowed his
campaign
Ukraine might be his undoing
Man I cannot wait until his
term is over
Please let this presidency
end!
When it comes to the Kentucky
governor race, the unpopular incumbent Republican Matt Bevin is up against
Democrat Andy Beshear. I highly recommend voting for Andy Beshear in the
race as he is the far better candidate. I only wish that I could donate to him,
but can’t afford to right now.
Sometimes there are political
people that would be dead to me due to things that they did. There is not
really anyone I feel that strongly about this year. But if I had to add
someone, it would be Rick Santorum. If only I lived on my own. I could make
tombstones as Halloween decorations of the living people who are dead to me.
Some might see it as a cruel thing to think so I’d have to see what others
think of it, but only if I ever do it. I probably won't though. But I might do them as facebook cover photos.
I wish that I could have been
talking about all of the Republican related things two posts ago. But I might
not be able to do that all in this post depending on how much time I have to do
things. I will try to do at least half of what is in this post now if I can.
But I might not even get that far. Still, I’m going to do some of what I can
and will hope for the best with the rest. I don’t have as much time to spend on
these things and I wish I did. But I should be doing more important things in
life instead.
People need to remember some
important facts about the gun control debate as there are lots wrong and stuff
going on in terms of misinformation going there. Thus, we need to make sure
that some of us know what is going on so we learn.
So much of what Trump does is
dumb. Here’s a story of him mocking someone that he thought was a critic, but
turned out to be supporter. Sadly, this isn’t the first time that this has
happened. I wonder if they still are supporters after this. Sadly, they might
be.
I don’t know why Mitch
McConnell isn’t trying to hide his shady connections to Russia. He is okay with
all sorts of interference and it isn’t a coincidence that he is up for reelection
next year. I wonder if Rick Scott, the incumbent class one senator of Florida,
and Josh Hawley, the incumbent class one senator of Missouri, got where they
are because of Russia. I think that it is possible, but not certain. I have no idea if Mitch has had much help from Russia thus far or if they are
certain to help him this time. They probably will help.
Republican’ts won’t even
pretend anymore that they want mass shootings to stop. You’d think that it
would be something with bi-partisan support against. But they won’t accept the
fact that racist people like white supremacists are responsible. Instead, they
think it is the left to blame.
Some people may not believe
still today that black people have dealt with more issues that people of other
races. For instance, some were held at gunpoint for holding a fundraiser. It’s
bad enough that we get blacks being shot for little to no reason other than
their skin color. We don’t need horrible issues like this showing up all the
time those people are simply living their lives.
While many believe that mental
illness is the main issue that causes mass shootings, what they do not know is
that there are other problems that can cause it instead. If you don’t believe
me, just read this article about it. And sorry for not remember what all these links say.
There are more issues, of
course, with Trump. It seems that people were stuck with a choice at a place
where he visited. While they were not required to work that day, they either
wouldn’t get paid for it or they’d have to listen to Trump speak. I would
easily choose going without pay as I’m not sure that I wouldn’t be a heckler in
the audience who would just be taken out and fired. I’d get to keep my job and
my dignity by not listening to that man.
The media seems to be doing a
terrible job nowadays at holding politicians accountable for wrongdoing or
other inaction. They just give them free publicity by reporting on
controversies without downright condemning these people. They also won’t let
the gun control debate go anywhere. That is where we need to see people holding
others accountable for what they do or don’t do.
You might hear a lot about
Trump’s economy being great. Well, it hasn’t really been that way. It seems
that whenever a Democrat is in charge and the economy is doing well, the
Republicans say nothing about it until one of their own is in charge and they can
claim the accomplishment as their own. And if the economy sucks when they are
in control, they say nothing about it until a Democrat is in charge and it is
suddenly all that person’s fault.
As you can tell, the economic
upturn of Obama was doomed to fail at some point, especially with a man like
Trump in charge. Things will start going badly for him and he will always find
someone else to blame under all circumstances, even if it doesn’t make a lick of
sense.
While I have yet to be able to
see a Democratic debate, I can only hope that I will at some point. I do want
to know if I’m with the right candidate or not. What I do know is that they
keep getting asked a question that Republicans never are: How do we pay for it?
Here’s the answer:
There should be an easy way to
solve the problem of school shootings or other mass shooting issues. But since
that isn’t going to happen since the NRA has Republican’ts wrapped around their
fingers, we get to have architects design school buildings that will prevent
this sort of thing from happening since keep guns out of the wrong hands is too
complicated.
A good economy isn’t going to
last and it has to suck when you are the reason why it is doing badly or
starting to. When you get to having issues with what you were doing and there
are problems. Why are there people thinking that the rich shouldn’t have to pay
more taxes? It makes no sense. And it is doing poorly for the economy thus far.
Mitch McConnell just does not
like working with others at all. He works so terribly with others, that it is
surprising that he and Trump get along so well outside of the treatment of the
Kurds. Mitch is already planning a war against the next Democratic president.
Hopefully, it is not one he gets to see as I urge Kentuckians to vote that
Mitch out.
All Trump seems to like doing
is either gloat about his supposed greatness or go on angry rants about all
that he finds wrong at some point. If you have a legitimate complaint about
him, he goes ballistic. I hope that I don’t wind up like that too much. One
should be able to hear criticism without being angered and not seeing their
point. The last thing that I want to do is be like Trump.
What people might not know
about voting rights and being imprisoned my hurt both them and the way the voting
system in this country works as a result. Now I’m still on the fence regarding
whether or not I like J B Pritzker, my state’s governor. But things like this
make me like him.
Every time there are issues
with mass shootings happening, there seems to be nothing at all changed.
Surely, no one wants them to happen. You’d think that both parties would agree
to doing whatever it would take to stop one from happening again. But that’s
not what happens. Plus, it is often the blatant racism that Republican’ts do
that is the rationale behind why mass shooters do what they do.,
Trump is certain to leave
office at some point in time. It is likely that he’ll be out of here on January
20th 2021. But he could be out of here sooner and that would be even
better for us. Read this and you will know how and why his presidency could be
ending sooner rather than later.
I will be sharing a lot about
why gun control that’s more effective than what we’ve been getting thus far in
this blog and possibly others in the future is needed in this country. I don’t
get why there aren’t more ways of limiting the NRA’s power. We can actually get
things done.
It will be important trying to
figure out a way of beating Trump in all 50 states. One should try to beat him
in all states, even those so red that you wouldn’t think they would flip. All
states are important. One should work on making sure states of all colors turn
blue for 2020. And he’s how to beat him in just one of the states where he did
well last time.
Another important thing
relating to Trump is that he must be called out any and every time that he has
lied, does lie, or will lie. If you are interviewing him and he lies, you need
to call him out on it. And you don’t need any reason why you shouldn’t do this.
Switching topics, there are
many issues with sex crimes and how they are handled. Read this article and you
might get outraged over the horrible handling of just one of the cases that is
going on. At the very least, they could have expelled both students. But just
punishing the victim and not the criminal leads to a horrible, backwards world
where the victims are the criminals and the criminals are the victims.
I don’t even remember some of
these articles after I first read them. I just knew that I wanted to use them
in my blog as I liked them. Some of them could have worked for either post,
probably to be honest in the end, but I put them in here as it was easier to
transfer it at the time.
Whether you heard about it or
not, Trump said some loony things such as being the messiah and he had issues
with mental health as a result. Sometimes, I think it is possible that Trump
might be the anti-Christ. He probably isn’t (didn’t the bible say it would be
popular?) and I certainly don’t want to spread rumors when we had enough of
that crap with the last president. Still, I’m almost hoping that he has a
mental condition like paranoid schizophrenia so that his craziness makes sense.
The only thing that I know for sure is wrong with his mental health is narcissism.
I don’t know how so much of
these links wound up in this dumb order. All this link is about is another way
of saying that Mitch McConnell has links to Russia and his state and our
country is suffering as a result of this. Sorry for the redundancy.
Brett Kavanaugh will never be
able to escape the stigma of what he was accused of, especially when he is
accused of even more problems. Why would anyone wave their penis around at a
party? Even if you were drunk, which he claims not to have been ever (I think),
that seems so gross and disturbing even. I would say that we might not have
heard the end of this yet. Who knows what could have been hidden from the
public thus far?
It is no secret that Trump
would be proud to take this country to another war. He knows that most of the
time, the support for a president goes up after a new war has started. But he
also knows that there might not be any good reason to start a war without lying
about the reason. We can hope that this is what doesn’t happen in the end. He
thought better of the Iran attack. Can he think better of other bad things that
he might do and not do them?
Trump might not know a bad
idea most of the time and he certainly loves to defend his bad decisions, even
when such defense makes little to no sense. Those who might have attempted to
rape someone are not victims of a smear campaign. Well, they might be, but
probably aren’t. Based on what I know, people are more likely to not report a
rape than falsely accuse one of it.
I do want to talk about the Mississippi
governor race for a bit. It is happening in 2019 and not later. After the
Republican primary, Tate Reeves won. There might be just a bit of shadiness
there since there might have been issues that got him elected or at least
seemed to benefit him. He had some of the votes seem to go his way when people
were trying to vote for the other candidate. But there had been no signs of
foul play as far as I know. Still, Jim Hood is the Democrat in the race and I’m
wondering if as long as Tate Reeves doesn’t win, we’ll know for sure that he
either didn’t rig things or wasn’t successful at it. Of course, even if Tate
wins, that doesn’t prove that he did anything wrong. It is just a possibility.
If you are able to vote in that state for governor, vote for Jim Hood.
If at first you don’t succeed,
try try again, right? Well, repealing the affordable care act is and remains
quite a terrible idea. It hasn’t helped Republican’ts as much as it could have.
Yet that is exactly what they are trying to do again in their campaigning. It
probably won’t work so they won’t get points for trying. Maybe if one of them
had a good replacement plan, it would work out. But they don’t have one despite
all this time of wanting to get rid of it.
Trump doesn’t seem to realize
that money comes from places and isn’t unlimited. Even though the Supreme Court
ruled that corporations can spend unlimited money in a race, they don’t have
that much money. No one’s money is unlimited. But that won’t stop Trump from not
caring about how much of what money he wants to spend is taken from other
things. And it can be insulting, really.
If I ever need a reminder on
how dickish the Republican Kentuckians tend to be, all I have to do is read
this article and remember the ad that Matt Bevin has ran. We don’t need racist
people in this world, but at least all of them nowadays tend to be Republicans.
Why is fear mongering their thing now?
I might have already talked
about this and duplicated this link by accident. Whether I have or haven’t,
this is a good story that isn’t too political in some ways as it explains that
a man has returned to his home country after originally being deported from it.
One of the worst parts about
the Trump administration is that most of the good Republicans, if there were
any, are leaving or are set to leave. This leaves a new party in its place: the
Trump party. If there is one thing that Republicans need to stop doing, it’s
what my friend suggests: take Reagan off of your political signs and put up
Trump instead. He’s who your party is now and few are doing anything to change
that from being anything else.
There’s a reason that Mitch
McConnell is now being known as Moscow Mitch. He might not live down that
nickname. His ties with Russia are worse than Trump’s ever were. Whatever will
keep him in office seems to be what he’ll do to stay in control.
A possibly hard vote for any
Democrat is if they were told by the angel of destiny that they could get rid
of either Trump or Brett Kavanaugh successfully by impeachment, but not the
other. It wouldn’t be too hard when you remember that the presidency has term
limits and isn’t a job for life. There are more issues with the crazed seeming
frat boy who went on to serve on the Supreme Court that I hope get to be
addressed in the future. One can only hope they can both be impeached. But I’d
want Brett to be impeached more since he might have actually done more illegal
things than we first thought.
When I thought of what two
senators not from states I declare an interest in I might donate to in the 2020
election process, Susan Collins wasn’t one of them that I wanted to go after.
Now that doesn’t mean that I don’t have issues with her. I sent her an email
and asked for a response. I never got one. I didn’t even get a standard “thank
you for commenting on issues” email. Susan has now become one of the Republicans
the rest of the party she represents wants to continue to stay in office. I
still don’t have the hatred for her that others do. But I don’t like her
anymore.
Voter suppression is alive in
this country in various states. Voter ID laws are one of the most common ways
they are used. I might do a post on how voter fraud just doesn’t happen the way
Republican’ts think they do. This is the same party who refused to believe that
Russia might have interfered in the election, despite all the evidence that
they did. Still, we need to fight these laws.
Trump is having quite the
strange relationship with China. He starts a trade war with them and then he
accuses them of trying to affect the 2018 midterms. Now, he wants them to help
him in the elections in 2020. And he did this in front of cameras that he knew
were filming him and would report this straight to the news sources that they
are.
After the facebook data breach
scandal, many people continued to use facebook and many will. I, for one, will
keep using it as often as I’m able to. They had a simple and good rule for
political ads. But they will not pull one of Trump’s ads full of false
information.
There are so many issues with
the elections that could happen or might happen in the future. We will see for
sure what will and could happen. I doubt that Trump will win and am pretty sure
that it is likely he won’t be on the ballot at all. He doesn’t want our country
to decide the election.
I want to hear someone without
preexisting conditions tell me why they don’t think those who have them shouldn’t
have health care. I’d love to know why they want us to suffer. They have
nothing to worry about and will never understand what it is like to be denied
coverage because of something they were born with or otherwise can’t control. The
Supreme Court may again decide on whether or not the affordable care act is
constitutional. We can only hope they vote the same way as before. Trump is
wanting to make the law go away, but not until after 2020.
Movie update: On Saturday, I
watched the last of the crossover tape. I’m amazed with how I’m always able to
watch the Halloween crossover between Bones and Sleepy Hollow, the last thing
on the tape, when it is Halloween. I replaced it with I am Sam. I didn’t watch
a movie on Sunday.
I don’t know what went wrong
with Chuck Grassley as he is honestly a Republican I can still respect at
times. But he is still causing problems such as giving the highly violate
Lindsey Graham more reign on the judges of this country than he should have.
Thus, Lindsey seeks to prove Trump innocent of any and all wrongdoing that he
has done.
Florida made a law that said
that former felons can vote again. This was a law made by the voters of the
state themselves. But the people in charge weren’t sure that they wanted the
law so they came up with illegal obstacles to stop it.
Trump rarely actually keeps
his promises and does his deals right. Whether or not he means to or tries to
keep them, he goes against deals all the time. He doesn’t do what he should and
that can be quite a problem to those paying attention who don’t want what he
has to offer.
At around 5:42, I checked to
see what games were on TV. One of my CBS affiliates was showing the news so
they will be airing this show on time. I tune into FOX to see what they are
airing. They are airing a Bears and Saints game. The Saints are winning. When I
go to my other CBS affiliate, they are also airing the news, but a different
news than the other one. I switch back to the game.
At 6, I decide to watch and
stick with 60 Minutes and check the game during commercial breaks. They might
not be airing as interesting stories as they could be. But that doesn’t really
matter as much. As long as they are airing shows on time, I’ll probably be
watching it over anything else.
I stick with primetime and
learn that the Saints won the game. The Bears were able to score a lot of
points as they tried to turn the tide, but they didn’t get close enough to
change much of anything in terms of what they could do to win. Now let’s get to
the episode.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin with Stevie arriving late for dinner, having gotten
lost in the White House. Elizabeth and Henry are now empty nesters. What
happened to their kids? Have they just been written out of the show, along with
a lot of other people we use to know? Will we get an explanation why they
aren’t here? Henry thinks that they should get a dog. They go through a lot of
different possibilities. The team is then called into
the situation room.
They might be able to catch the guy from the poisoning of
the people at the UN from the previous season finale. They might have to resort
to using drone warfare. There could be a military conflict. Elizabeth doesn’t
like any of the possibilities. We then return to the senate intelligence
committee. They have one of those? I’m surprised that there are intelligent
people on the senate. Jay talks to his on again off again boyfriend about
moving in potentially. Trevor, this man, seems to have issues with the
relationship moving too slowly.
Jay talks to his parents on
the phone who don’t know even the gender of his loved one. Perhaps the word is
betrothed. Back in the present, Elizabeth and more people talk about what to do
with their evil guy and how they should deal with it. How dangerous is
technology? There appears to be an arms race going on now. They need to protect
America while they still can.
In segment two, we get to
Elizabeth seeing her new dog, Delilah. Hey there, Delilah, what’s it like in
Washington? Elizabeth wants the dog taken away as it is too young and needs to
be with her mother and litter makes. Jay continues telling the story of meeting
people at Martha’s Vineyard. Stevie is then mistaken for Jay’s betrothed. This
is getting more awkward than a romantic comedy. Elizabeth talks to Peter in a
dream. Peter was fixing a car in the dream. She couldn’t work the phone in the
dream. Can anyone do that? There are things that you just can’t do in dreams.
Elizabeth once again goes
through options in the situation room. She decides to go against using drones
and brings in the SEAL Team (Wednesdays at 9/8 Central on CBS). Something goes
wrong with the mission as a helicopter spins out of control, possibly being hit
or having some other issue.
In segment three, we learn
that the mission was a success to take out the terrorist, but it also came with
the loss of members of the SEAL team. Daisy is asked about the possible use of
drones or something similar, only she declines to comment on it. Russell wants
to know how the matter was leaked. But he thinks that this could be grounds for
a ban on these aircrafts. Back in the past, Stevie gets upset at someone who
thinks that third party candidates don’t win. She said that Lincoln was third
party. Was there still a Whig party then? She gets angry about negative
stereotypes of women.
Elizabeth talks to the family
of those who lost their lives in the military strikes. They offer her advice.
We then get to Elizabeth talking with Ming and another person representing both
of their countries. She is looking for a ban on autotomonious (how do you spell
that?) weapons. She wants to make sure that this is not done for her own
benefit. She doesn’t want there to be an arms race, but does want to make sure
that the possibility of it getting hacked is removed. She issues an ultimatum:
either her country will start to work on moving forward with more drones or
they will work against using them.
In segment four, Russell
thinks that Elizabeth explains herself too much. She doesn’t want to worry
about being popular or effective, but wants to be presidential. Jay tries to
explain what happened with the man and how they weren’t paying a man back for
an illegal donation or something like that. Mike still has troubles finding the
right dog.
Russell reveals who the leaker is, but we don’t know who this man or
woman is just yet. Jay reveals that he was
wanting to get big game, just not what the senators were thinking. He does get
engaged to Trevor and reveals this to his parents. Elizabeth then talks to a
man about him leaking it. He thought that she was sending troops into harm’s
way. This man is arrested for breaking the law. Russell then reveals what the
Russians and Chinese have said.
In segment five, Elizabeth
addresses the nation on the now successful ban on drone warfare. She does
explain more of what’s going on with her decision such as why she’s making it.
She doesn’t want to have their fate consigned to algorithms. That’s for
YouTubers.
Mike and Russell still want to keep Elizabeth out of the loop.
Haven’t some people said that they tried to keep Trump out of the loop on
things? You wouldn’t think it would be hard to appeal to his ego and thus
distract him. Elizabeth thinks about the troops that lost lives. It is good
that she’s human and feeling bad about this. Elizabeth names the new dog that
she now has Hope.
On the next Madam Secretary, Elizabeth
is going to face her first real test where she has either kept a secret or is
lying about something. I don’t know what else is going on about things. I guess
that I’ll just have to see what happens next week. For now, this is Adam
Decker, signing off.
