Two pretty nice days in store for us today and tomorrow, if you believe weather forecasts. Which I generally don't.I think here too but my weather app is currently shitting itself. Pretty sure we're going to hit near 80° today. I recall tomorrow would be nice too but there is more rain coming.

All politics aside, the American tax system is a bait-and-switch shell game, the marks are people who are bad at math and think a refund is free money, and the procedures make it nearly impossible to hit the correct balance. It's stupid. I'm all for progressive taxation, but can we make it not so ludicrous?

Trumpf comments at Gettysburg pretty sad. Why does he always sound like a sixth grader who didn't read the assignments but gets called on to comment?He doesn't prepare. He doesn't think he needs to. But let's face it, Biden was the previous low-water mark, and hasn't improved except by unfortunate comparison.

Not even a little. For the record, I don't think Biden is "the guy". But, he's the guy we have right now.

You're not trying to tell me Joe Biden walks on water and is a great orator are you? I mean, this is a guy who once asked a paraplegic to stand up and be recognized. And that's still better than Trump's oratorical drivel.

My truth is Uncle Joe is an OK guy. Would he be president if he ran against anyone but Trumpf, no. Would I vote for him against most anyone else? Probably not, but he's far and away the lesser of two evils.Well, okay, I was insulting Trump. Does that help?Yeah, it sounded like a compliment.I was being complimentary to old Gaffer Joe.

And it's ongoing commentary about Drumpf and his supporters for the next four years like it was from 2016-2020?Honestly, I'm not even sure how this is a decision.
