Interview Tomorrow

I am interviewing for a release planner position at Stillwater Prison tomorrow. Hope the best for me, will you. I’d ask for luck, but we make our own, don’t we?

Tribalism 101

(538) As I have argued elsewhere, we should be concerned about politics being treated this way. I can hate the Yankees, feel wronged that Tom Brady is benched for a few games, and make the absurd claim that I would be very upset if my sons married Yankees fans. In sports, irrational partisan feelings are permissible because the stakes are so low. Irrational partisan emotions clearly exist in politics, too, but in politics we should be ashamed of them.

It’s an interesting read.

Weather

The rain moved into the area, and with it a headache. I’m going to bed.

Which Is It?

So, when Trump made his 2nd Amendment statement, which was he referring to? The right to bear arms or about the well regulated militia? Is he advocating for a lone gunman? Or does he support the grassy knoll concept?

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Name-Dropping Is A Distraction

(THR) On Tuesday, talk show host John Phillips, a Trump supporter, appeared on the news network and discussed the GOP presidential nominee’s controversial week.

“Over the last few days, I’m not surprised to see people running for the hills,” Phillips said. “The last 72 hours for Donald Trump have been the political equivalent of Chris Farley’s final 72 hours on planet Earth.”

Okay, on the surface it looks like this is an accusation of Trump committing political death by being out of control. However, the “people running for the hills” is the more telling part of this comment. Phillips appears to be a 27 percenter.  Chris Farley as an example really doesn’t seem relevant to the discussion. Instead, it’s a distraction from his point – that people are being traitors and abandoning Trump. He’s laying the ground work for shifting the blame of Trump’s possible Presidential election loss away from Trump and on traitorous supporters.
