Did all I can and cast my vote for DJT (and Susan Collins) here in southern seacoast Maine. Not sure it will matter much to the overall result but sure felt good to vote for the good guy.

I just grin watching Trump “dance”. It’s great.

While waiting in line around mid-day, here in NEPA, the sentiment was very pro-Trump.

ID required and verified by voter registration records. Paper ballots entered into a machine that records and tallies. Everything seems legit.

I went out at half past seven, walked a half block up the hill, only to find that there is no longer a polling place. I looked to the right and saw the line snaking down the block. I turned around and went back down the hill. Voted this afternoon when everyone else was at work.

The Answer

Then what is the answer?- Not to be deluded by dreams.
To know that great civilizations have broken down into violence,
and their tyrants come, many times before.
When open violence appears, to avoid it with honor or choose
the least ugly faction; these evils are essential.
To keep one’s own integrity, be merciful and uncorrupted
and not wish for evil; and not be duped
By dreams of universal justice or happiness. These dreams will
not be fulfilled.
To know this, and know that however ugly the parts appear
the whole remains beautiful. A severed hand
Is an ugly thing and man dissevered from the earth and stars
and his history… for contemplation or in fact…
Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness,
the greatest beauty is
Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty
of the universe. Love that, not man
Apart from that, or else you will share man’s pitiful confusions,
or drown in despair when his days darken.

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’.”
