Welp...

 Welp, I did it. I got rid of X (used to be Twitter) because that piece of crap Squealon Muskrat in all likelihood will turn it into a warped right-wing propaganda outlet, much like Fox "News" or the garbage you hear on right-wing radio (Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, etc.). So, I peaced out of there and uninstalled the app off my phone. Speaking of Fox News, I bet those ditzy goofballs and so-called journalists over there are hamming it up and probably throwing a victory parade, over on radio, Glenn Beck is probably crying crocodile tears of joy. Fuck that guy, forever. Hypocrite. Oh, and the New York Times had this article today claiming that "evangelicals" are calling Mango Mussolini's election win as a divine mandate. As I stated over on Threads (where you can find me now), it's quite a flex considering the man is virtually the Anti-Christ.


This has been the latest, and the coup-de-grace, in what has been an extremely crappy six week stretch. First was the news that my dream woman, who I've spoken about before on this blog, went back to her husband. That set off a chain of events that has continued to this day. Then came Milton, which destroyed the roof of Tropicana Field in the process and all but rendered my favorite baseball team homeless for God knows how long. Then my favorite basketball team lost their best player due to injury and have been in free-fall since, my favorite football team lost their two top wide receivers due to injury and have lost three straight games with the 49ers coming to town off a bye this Sunday. The Lightning all of a sudden can't get out of their own way and are in the middle of a four-game winless streak. Then of course, Tuesday. I won't say anything further about that. So, I wound up deactivating my Facebook page this week, the reasons are what I just listed and this.


At least college basketball has started, so I actually have something to look forward to, even if UNC-Duke isn't until February, but this autumn has been anything but kind to me, I hope winter and the Yuletide season is much, much better.


Catch me over on threads!!

UPDATE:

It's The Final Countdown...

We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To Earth who can tell?

--"The Final Countdown," Europe, 1986.


Hello, everyone. We less than 24 hours away from the very first polls closing for Election Day 2024. Hopefully, most of you have took advantage of early voting where you are. I did a couple of weeks ago, and from the looks of things where I went to vote, many others did too, which is a good thing. If you're able to do so, please vote tomorrow. 







If you follow my twitter page, you likely know how I voted in this election, but for the record, I did something I hadn't done before, I voted Democrat up and down the ballot. I'm sure that my stepmom and father are probably turning in their graves, since they were Republicans for as long as I've known them, but they don't know how extreme right-wing that party has become, and I have a theory as to why that is, and it goes back several decades. I won't get into it on this post, although I may have alluded to it in prior posts. Not only that, if I knew nothing about politics (and I still know very little), knew English, and didn't know squat about either of the candidates, I'd likely pick Harris anyway. I mean Trump has no plan (to speak of, WE WANT DETAILS!) except deport immigrants and propose tariffs on everyone, which actually does us more harm than good. And the stunt he pulled the other day? Disgusting. We've already had four years of this shitshow, we don't need another four. 

Two other big ballot initiatives here in Florida are Amendments 3 and 4, which legalizes recreational marijuana and legalizes safe abortions here in Florida. I won't get into the details of each amendment, because there have been various debates and commercials (which thank God are ending tomorrow) about both of them, but I voted "Yes" on both. Why? Well since DeSantis is our governor, I'll let Dave Chappelle to explain:








Yeah, I don't like DeSantis, and I never have liked him. Unfortunately, I've lost a few friends over my political choices the last few years. For the better? Can't tell. Now do I think that the left is a bunch of communists who want us to conform to a certain way of life. No. Do I think the right has become a bunch of populist fascists? Not necessarily, but do most of them seem to blindly follow an individual with a cult of personality? Absolutely. Will said individual claim if he loses it will because the system is "rigged?" Probably, even though this isn't NASCAR, where apparently you can alter the results so that a certain driver advances in their "Playoffs."

So, grab a bag of popcorn, some Xanax, and your bottle of liquor and enjoy (at least try to) the events of the next 24 hours...or more. Probably more.
