Wildcard Wednesday

I’d love to join Kat for an unraveled post today . . . but I can’t find my knitting and I am currently between books. To clarify, I have knitting around, but I can’t find the project I want to actually be knitting. And I’m sure I’ll be starting a new book shortly. But right now . . . here we are . . . and my head is filled with thoughts about last night’s debate.

I was infuriated while I watched it.

Infuriated that Trump rarely, if ever, actually answered the questions asked of him. Infuriated that he talked over the moderators and took more time than he was allowed. Infuriated that he lied over and over again, not the least of which was a ridiculous story that started over the weekend regarding Haitian immigrants in Ohio.

You know what I wasn’t, though? Surprised. We’ve seen his playbook and it hasn’t changed. Aren’t we ready for something different?

When Kamala Harris gave her closing statement and said that they only question she ever asked as a prosecutor was, “are you okay?” I was moved to tears.

That’s the person I want as our leader.

She’s the person I will be voting for.

  2. I didn’t see it since we were traveling during 90% of it. Hoping to view it today. My phone was blowing up though. I’ve never gotten so many messages and notifications. I feel your frustration and yet, I think it might have been exactly what people needed to be reminded how TFG acts and the abject lack of concern for anyone but himself. There are several weeks left to encourage people to vote because I think we need a landslide to minimize post-election tricks and trauma. Onward!

  3. Exactly!! At times, the debate just became ludicrous. I was surprised I watched the entire “show” because his voice turns my stomach so much. It does frighten and sadden me that SO MANY folks will still vote for him. We all need to be sure that another term for that idiot does not happen.

  4. What we were lucky to watch was a master class in debate… HER answers were perfection. She addressed his nonsense, dropped some bait, and closed with how she sees us and together we will move this country forward! He took that bait EVERY SINGLE TIME and it was glorious to see. One massive lie of his tonight that will become the millstone that sinks him… he stated that everyone wanted Roe overturned. Not true, MF, not true… and you are about to hear us roar in November when we vote you to oblivion!!

    Oh… and I am voting for HER as well! (along with an army of Swifties!!)

  5. That . . . is it. I understand the two-party system. I get that we all have different visions for the future. I don’t expect everyone to support the same party or the same candidate. I appreciate healthy debate and discussion. It’s just . . . HIM. I cannot fathom how thinking people can listen to him and not realize he is . . . speaking gibberish. All the time. It just . . . stymies me. And yet, here we are.

  7. I didn’t watch the debate. I knew it would infuriate me, and I am seeking calm these days. I did see the highlights this morning with my coffee, and I was not surprised that Kamala did so well while he did so poorly. However, I am afraid it is not going to change anybody’s mind about their vote. It seems everyone has their stance set in concrete. I am optimistic that she may win, but we need to keep motivating people to vote, vote, vote!

  9. I’m right there with you. I had to turn it off after a while and just watch the CNN analysis. Couldn’t stand to hear the voice of such a despicable person.

  10. I watched the first half or so with my daughter (and then turned it off because it was almost my bedtime and I didn’t want Trump-related nightmares). He’s shameful and dishonest and plain old mean, but Kamala? She was wonderful. My daughter actually teared up at one point listening to her speak.
