A Palmer Reading 0

Robert Reich, in a longer piece about Donald Trump’s recent remarks about Arnold Palmer, reports an item which leapt out at me. He notes that Palmer was no fan of Trump. Here’s that excerpt:

Arnold Palmer’s daughter told The Sporting News in 2018 that the golf legend was so incensed by what he saw as Trump’s lack of civility that he made noises of disgust when Trump appeared on the television “like he couldn’t believe the arrogance and crudeness of this man who was the nominee of the political party that he believed in.” She added, “My dad had no patience for people who demean other people in public. He was appalled by Trump’s lack of civility and what he began to see as Trump’s lack of character.”

From the Youtube page:

Whose Land is this anyway? Does to belong to the mega-corporations, and we’re just here to be their workforce? Does it belong to Trump and the willing victims of his lies? Let’s take a look at where we stand on that issue.

Gutting Out the Vote 0

Nebraska executive branch meets the Simpsons.

Afterthought:

I do not think it a stretch to suggest that the reason Republicans are so intent on gutting out the vote is simple.

They sense that their chances of remaining in office when faced with free and fair elections may be–er–somewhat less than optimal.
