THIS IS OUR BEST?

Greetings. I am a voting constituent in rural west Texas. Tonight’s the night. We’ll see which vision of America wins the day. Doom and gloom and destruction. Or hope and joy and optimism. Here’s hoping we’re smarter than I think we are. VP Harris has put forth a detailed policy outline. For the people. We hope that DJT might do some of the same tonight. It would be good if more is offered than just broad sound bites, based seemingly on Project 2025 concepts. In the meantime, we get to read more of this kind of nonsense… “MAGA Republicans today spread slurs about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, claiming they are eating other people’s pets and local wildlife. Right-wing media figure Benny Johnson, who was one of the six commenters whose paychecks at now-disbanded Tenet Media were paid by Russia, was one of those pushing the false stories. So was X owner Elon Musk.  The story was debunked almost immediately by the Springfield police, but Republican politicians ran with it. The X account for Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee ran it; so did Texas senator Ted Cruz, who shared an image with two kittens saying: “PLEASE VOTE FOR TRUMP SO IMMIGRANTS DON’T EAT US.” And the Republican vice presidential nominee, Ohio senator J.D. Vance, posted: “Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn't be in this country.” (The Haitians in Springfield are in the U.S. legally.)” Pathetic. Texas should deserve a better Senator than one who spends his time sending such crap out. But I expect he thinks it’s funny. And since he keeps getting re-elected, maybe we don’t deserve better. Guess we’ll find out come November.
