Our friend Keith went for a walk this morning! When he walks, he ponders and muses (his blog is, after all, titled ‘musingsofanoldfart’) and often the results are share-worthy, as they are today. He cuts through the rhetoric and gives a cogent summation of the person who seems likely to be the Republican nominee next year … and convincingly shows us just how foolish/dangerous it would be to allow that candidate to get a foot in the door! Thanks, Keith … you have a much more well-organized mind than most of us!
The rain finally stopped after about a week of wet weather. It is a sunny day for a walk about, but it will need to be in the morning with the summer heat. Here are a few thoughts to ponder as I wander.
Since we rid ourselves of Messers. Bolsonaro and Johnson, it is time to send Putin and Trump packing. Putin continues to stumble with his Ukraine foray and the truth about Trump’s crimes continue to unfold. The latter two need to be held accountable for their illicit actions.
The latest from Trump is he can be heard on audio admitting to and sharing classified information to others, including people writing a book about him. He, of course, is pulling a “Wizard of Oz” saying the tape says something else and we should “ignore the man behind the curtain.” The gaslighting continues.
Speaking of gaslighting people, I was watching…

Good share Jill. Between you, you and Keith make a great team for the USA. Oh that you could share a blog with a high profile. You might influence the American non-aligned voters.

Thanks, Roger! Yes, Keith and I do make a good team … he has his way and I have mine, and between us we manage to get the point across. The frustrating part is that for the most part, we are “preaching to the choir”, or as Hugh used to tell me, “spitting into the wind”. Ah well … sometimes you don’t know who might have been listening in and heard something that made them change their views, or at least consider other viewpoints.

I know … I just sometimes want to be a big rock in the pond, making waves instead of ripples, y’know?

Jill, many thanks for the reblog. You are so generous with your blogspace. Today, I was able to get in about two and 1/2 miles, so I had a good walk about. I was reading more about the travails of the current Speaker. It goes to show you that you should not get used to being on Trump’s good side, as you won’t be there for long. Invariably, you won’t genuflect low enough or jump high enough.
In McCarthy’s case, he had chance with his initial speaker’s contest to help unite Americans by joining together with enough Democrats to get elected. Instead he sold his soul to Trump and his extreme reps in Congress. He made his bed for his yesterday’s debacle. Keith

Thank YOU, Keith! We work well together … sometimes when I am uninspired, you come up with a post that says just what I was thinking! Great minds …
Yes, McCarthy has been doomed from the beginning, I think, and sadly he deserves what is likely to come to him, for he allows himself to be a puppet with not only Trump, but also the House Freedom Caucus pulling his strings, rather than being honest, fighting for things that actually matter to We the People.
