ask me anything

and I'll tell you no lies

Nov 10, 2022

folks —

my next post is taking longer to write than I expected, but I do want to have a least one new thing up here every week, so today I’m going to give you the opportunity to ask me anything. I will strive to answer every comment on this post.

apologies in advance, but I’m putting the ability to comment/ask questions here behind the subscriber paywall. it’s the only way to prevent this page from being overrun with trolls asking me why I suck so much. (because it’s genetic, ok?)

thanks for bearing with me, folks, I’ll have a new post up in the next day or so

How did this happen and is there any hope for a better future in this country:

Tim Ryan’s loss to maga JD Vance

Mandela Barrnes loss to corrupt, election denier, soul-less, mean, deceitful liar Ron Johnson. Johnson had massive amounts of dirty money to run a series of very racist ads.

Three congressional candidates who are decent, intelligent, hard-working human beings:

Jeff Ettinger, MN lost to a far right wing creep

Brad Pfaff WI lost to VanOrden, an insurrectionist in Congress who participated in Jan 6 domestic terrorism

Matt Castelli, NY lost to do-nothing but lie election denier Elise Stefanik

Then there’s losses by Beto, Stacey Abrams. Florida is a disaster also.

Will there ever be an end to money in politics, the horrible racism and anti-semitism? I’m not hopeful.

There are other candidates I had no time to follow.
