Talk about living in the age of disinformation and misinformation.

I always say watch what they do not what they say and who their backers are. I notice that some Rs are trying to pretend that they are not abortion absolutists.

That's always been 'my' guiding light; actions, not words.

Rest assured, pretense is all it is, because they( or at least some of them) can smell the looming defeat.

To quite a TV show I've finally started watching " Winter is Coming" !

Here's something none of you know: trumpers do not research. I am being sarcastic. One trumper said that Biden was the worst president of her life time. I don't know how old this person was but- Jimmy Carter took that honor, George W, Bush, Gerald Ford. Surprisingly Obama was rated low. Johnson was rated very high.

In other sources Obama was rated very high (7th) Trump was consistently rated in the bottom 5. Obviously this girl was talking emotion and prejudice and not facts.

Unfortunately, emotions are more often the bases of voter's preferences. It's been a long time since legislatures supported teaching civics to create an educated electorate. No coincidence, in my view.
