Prickly City by Scott Stantis for October 14, 2024

Make America Great Again

I don’t know. I think tRump is very spiteful. Also, America has always been great!

There is only one choice, and the correct choice is to Vote Republican 2024

Yet another Republican – a heavily-armed Republican – was dissuaded from assassinating Trump.

That makes three.

Somehow the Democrats will be blamed.

Anger, fear, and spite are all salient features of ONE of the choices, the magat one.

The other choice is Kamala Harris.

.

Of course, Stantis knows this, but he cannot let go of his both siderism.

I’ll ask again: what policy proposed by Trump has the potential to help Americans? His “concepts of a plan” for health care? (Is that like “Infrastructure Week” from term #1?) His economic proposals are ill considered and likely would lead to more inflation and a massive increase in the national debt. So, if personal economics is the concern, no way Trump should win.

FALSE EQUIVALENCY ALERT!!!!!!!!!

If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for, but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong. If this is too blind for your taste, consult some well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way. This enables you to be a good citizen (if such is your wish) without spending the enormous amount of time on it that truly intelligent exercise of franchise requires.

Stopped into one of our local sign making stores. Asked what they’d charge to make a yard campaign sign that said “Don’t Vote For The @sshole”. They told me they couldn’t do that as it would be offensive to people. I said the TV stations broadcast everything DJT says and people find what he says offensive, so what ’s the difference? No reply, just blank stares. I turned around and left.

“…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering.”

The media are doing a fine job trying to scare people.

Is it wrong to fear an angry person? Or fear a man who sows fear?

After considering the respective party platforms, positions, and typical ideology, and after attempting to weed out the hype, exaggeration, and fear mongering of each and both party’s ads, slogans, warnings, and accusations, ask yourself: “Of these two less than desirable candidates, which can most likely actually do the job, and/or do it better?”. Vote for that one.

The next 4 years are shot, no matter which side wins. I hope we have better choices next time.

Don’t vote for the one those signs try to promote. That’s all tRump. Instead vote for a bright future for our Great Nation.

Demagoguery at its best!

Scariest decorations on the neighborhood lawns this Halloween season (shudder).

Vote for Harris if:

1. You enjoy paying 20% more for groceries and 30% more for energy.

2. You abhor Jews.

3. You are anxiously awaiting the arrival of WWIII.

4. You want illegal alien cartels running your cities.

5. You want to speed the bankruptcy of the US (actually both major parties are doing that anyway).

We don’t get any sort of third (or more) choice because the Electoral College exists.

Try Vote Your Hopes. They may be unrealistic, but at least its in the right direction and if a candidate fits, go for it.

VOTE GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ll vote for Harris as a 3rd choice.

Vote Trump
