WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
This is my letter to the World
Real World Address
This is my letter to the World
This is my letter to the World
That never wrote to Me
The simple News that Nature told,
With tender Majesty
Her Message is committed
To Hands I cannot see
For love of Her — Sweet — countrymen
Judge tenderly — of Me

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

THE GRIEVANCES.
These are the original. I think we could come up with some new variations on the theme– He/She has endeavored to keep us thinking that our individual safety was more important than our individual liberty.
“He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the consent of our legislatures.” These would be the State Karens who decide how many people you can have at Thanksgiving Dinner.
This is not a political blog, but I’m an American and so from time to time, I recall our history in light of the day.
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
I’m sorry. That did not work as I intended.
Trumpslide!
Nothing succeeds like success. I googled 1 day prior predictions 2016 and actual 2016 electoral college votes.
Get some!
If I could, I surely would vote for Trump. Unfortunately, I am Canadian and cannot. Thanks, Gerard, for bringing the excellence of this man to the fore. We need more like him.
We are going to have the biggest landslide in history
My prediction- President Trump will WIN AGAIN, and with at least 354 electoral votes.
MAGA and God bless America.
So happy bureaucracies like the vaunted CDC has our back. Fuhk! They are smart sunsabitches! The actually saved us in the epidemic.
Now I have your attention. This morning, on the radio, the news that the pandemic is going into its deadliest phase ever, and also the CDC says that even though this is the case, we are encouraged to go out to the physical polls and vote. If you have been quarantined, it’s okay to vote. I shit you not. COVID is deadly, but voting (of course they want you to lean Biden, don’t they?) is more important.
Following the “science,” no doubt. I hate the CDC and all doctors in charge of groups. I hope to hell somebody has the courage to grab them by the pussy and frikkin destroy their action. That radio report this morning was so insulting it is indescribable.
Today. Election Day. 2020. A reality show. A cliffhanger.
I’m holding my breath, waiting to hear shouted across the nation:
DEMOCRAT PARTY,
YOU”RE FIRED!
In a just world:
Place the AG and the State Auditors in NV, AZ, MI, PA, GA and NC in jail immediately. They sit atop a throne of lies.
The Libertarian candidate in NV has taken half of the votes Trump needs to win. Happy, now, Libertarians? The time a 3rd party candidate cost America her freedom and threw the world into a thousand years of chaos. File her candidacy under: “fuck around and find out.”
