The end of an era
Trump Walks It – Just!
The only comfort it brings me, is that I can say –
“I told you so!”
In fact – consistently – in many blog posts -since August 2022
Even with the glaring personality defects he put on display, while campaigning – such as – rambling, incoherent and unscripted, streams of conscience – or should that be – ‘unconscience ?
– and his compulsive lying – is getting worse.
Even in the televised debate with Kamala – his Democratic opponent – he repeated another big lie:
Not only, are all illegal immigrants – convicted criminals, rapists and drug dealer- they are all now, stealing their neighbour’s pets
and eating them.’
Even the adjudicator / verifier had to interupt to announce that the statement was not proven – Trump’s response “A lady told me direct” –
End of argument –Master Ddebater ( well,that’s close enough!)
He obviously lost the debate – but continued to claim that he had won it – mostly to reporters who knew better than listen.
As the Washington Post put it:
“Americans ordered up Donald Trump. The world will foot the bill”
As Joan Rivers put it:
“In America, the average IQ of the population drops, the further away it lives from the coasts”–
Right – I’ve had enough of Trump – he stopped being ‘amusing’ a long time ago. and I’ll bet you have stopped being amused, as well.
Which reminds me – my main regret is that – I didn’t put a bet on Trump to win!
A short conclusion:
The blog is nearing retirement – mainly because I am – looking for a real retirement.
75 next June and never been out of work ever, since I was 15 – (running – after school – to Birkenhead market – to take down stalls – which I worked all day at weekends and school holidays – and stow contents in secure lockups – and doing the reverse early mornings on market days.
All for bit of – ‘cash in hand’ which went straight to my mum.
So, I believe I am due for a rest.
In retrospect – I probably started the blog too late – it’s more of a young person’s game.
I was persuaded to give it a go, originally by Nikki – who became my web manager and blog editor – and I needed persuading – but glad she persevered.
She persuaded me that, I could do it and I now believe that she was right.
I’m proud of a lot of it, and enjoyed most of it – and
– it did give me a focus when I needed it –
But – what I consider is a – well earned, retirement is now appropriate.
So – a big thanks to:
everybody who –
- helped me create the blog – particularly Nikki of course –
- and – anybody who –
- accessed and supported it from the beginning
- -made online comments (nearly all of which were complimentary)
- and it helped me through a few difficult years of my life – to my current (apparent?) sanity.
I hope you enjoyed some of it as well.
The website – with all 150 posts – including this one – will remain open for some time and –and it is not impossible – that a new subject – so engages or annoys me, – that I produce a new post/posts.
But – I intend to avoid Trump entirely!
So –
Thanks again and – look after yourselves.
Cheers
