Veep

 Of course I was enchanted with Elizabeth Warren and hoped someone who didn't need it would be elected. We need that kind of ruler, not a galloping egomaniac narcissist rapist who tells us to not believe our lying eyes.

My only question is what veep would help the cause. A female is good because nobody would kill Biden, those kind of wackos don't want a woman president. So in a way she would be good assassination insurance. And she would be the best VP in history. She would get so much done. She's a pragmatist who can see the pain in bankruptcy. and if she were not a woman would be a great Republican, except she turned on them and didn't betray her class.

But can we depend on a VP that doesn't bring any voters. We need a veep that brings in some votes. Maybe cancels out Kanye West? People on both sides have problems with Kamala Harris. You sort of heard a black woman muttering whenever Donald Trump spoke and she could be that voice, but there's nobody perfect for that role. Actually there are 100s of people perfect for that voice, but we don't know who they are. We don't have binders of women. Remember how stupid Mitt Romney looked? He looks a lot better and less hypocritical and more virtuous than our current president. He's publically broken with Trump to prove he is his own man with his own thoughts. He's not a stooge like McConnell who they had to invent a new circle in hell for. 

After those two names, I'm lost, I'm not an insider. I'm an outsider speculating like most of us.

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

6 month old podcast

Al Franken has a podcast , and he has my favorite Heather Cox Richardson , and they have an interesting discussion. He talks about the knife edge. She really explains the Republican strategy. Flood the zone with shit. Alternate facts, and fake news opens up the idea that there is no reality. It's basically reality versus false reality.  The goal is to both get people to back away from politics, and to tell them how to specifically think. Developed in Russia, a system of overturning democracy. Running fake candidates, who switch parties, and running candidates with the same name. Blackmail is a technique. Create a fake reality that people come to believe. They're willing to vote for a narrative is not true, and they're willing to vote away their rights.  You can flip it and use the same tools.You can weaponize social media by ignoring the shit, and fight back against all these techniques. People defend democracy. They're talking about community and caring for people and ...
