Too early in the morning to drink...
- Politics: Biden needs to step aside, today. He's 82, and he's already shown that he is not capable of being President today, let alone for four more years. It's tragic- I actually don't think he's done a bad job, given the problems of the past four years- but for the good of the nation, he needs to announce he won't run for re-election
- Politics 2: At this point, unless Kamala Harris steps aside (and why should she), she would be the natural replacement as the Democratic nominee. I admit she hasn't impressed me as a politician; she's all right talking to people that already agree with her, but the President also needs to address people who either disagree with her or are unsure. On that front, she's been terrible so far. There are issues that work in her favor (abortion, crime) and issues that work against her (immigration, inflation). But that applies to every politican. We will find out if she is up to the task. Harris and the party has four months to make the case- and the chances of her winning are much better than if Biden remains on the ticket.
- Politics 3 (last one): If I'm a Democrat (I'm not), or I'm a person who hates the thought of Trump winning (I am), then I am furious at the Biden White House. They've known he's been having problems for months. People have seen several video clips of him forgetting, appearing lost, stumbling. But rather than acknowledge this, they covered it up, did not give the press a chance to interview him, and blocked any primary challengers.
It's now July, it's almost the convention, and the public only just now has discovered how far gone Biden is. Worse, Biden has announced that he's staying in- and because he has the delegates, I don't think the Democratic Party can block him.
Trump went through a Primary. I don't like it, but the GOP has decided he's their standardbearer, and they had a fair chance to test him and replace him. The Democrats didn't with Biden.
If Trump wins in 2024, the people who covered for Biden deserve the blame.
- Sports: The Cavaliers signed Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell's an outstanding player, and he is showing that he wants to be the team leader (look at how he was encouraging his teammates during the playoffs games, even when he was injured). The Cavs have a lot of talent, and hopefully the new coach Kenny Atkinson can elevate the team. Given the moves by the rest of the Eastern contenders, they will need to step up.
- Writing: My friend Don Mewha has written a book. I'm jealous. During COVID I tried to write a superhero story. I did finish the story, sent it out to try and get published, got rejected soundly, and put it aside. (Though if anyone wants to Beta read it, send me a message)
I've got a couple ideas germinating in my head, but I'm trying to figure out if I have the time and energy to try again. It would be something different. It's definitely a better way to spend my time that trying to beat Grimdawn on Hardcore mode.
