Pre VP Debate warm up. Pre VP Debate warm up. I was thinking that Trump resembles Anger from Inside Out, and in the first movie, when Anger gets fed up, he goes rogue, steals mom’s credit card and buys a bus ticket to Minnesota (Make Riley Great Again). The only problem with going back, is that back isn’t a place or time we can get to.

And then I thought about Kamala, and her refrain We’re not going back but recognize she is talking about a different back, and the two sides don’t see back the same way. But her refusal to go back is also not so great. The Democratic party is kind of like Sadness, ready to flood us into liquidity such that no fires can start.

This metaphor isn’t great, I’ll admit, but it does bring up a notion about lesser of two evil’s approaches. If we are only restricted to Trumps sparky forest fire, or Kamala’s rainy kumbaya that eventually leads to massive mud slides while Mickey prays for the wizard to stop to water-bearing brooms (sorry Ashville and Georgia), we could spend so much time trying to combat the other guys (you know, team evil), that we’re not really spending any time doing something better.

Tribal allegiance, nor simple bipartisan get-along-ism isn’t going to change the fact that we need much more innovative approaches to changing our global ways. We’re not even being honest about the impacts we’re inducing.

Dang, I was hoping this was heading somewhere inspirational. Come on Joy pull a rabbit outta that hat, and make Pizza Delicious again.

What’s something you don’t fully agree with your preferred candidate on? Inspired by Brian's post

Attempted Trump Assasination- Was he actually hit by a bullet? (meta commentary: I imagine the future of uptrust will host more conversations of this nature… so let’s see how we navigate it)

On Saturday, former president Donald Trump was the target of an attempted assassination.

Two things I want to talk about–

1. Was Trump actually hit by a bullet? I’m skeptical that a bullet grazed his ear, and think it’s more likely that a piece of shrapnel clipped him. I’m not intending to minimize the fact that someone definitely tried to kill him, but rather I am irritated by his spinning and inflation of the story if there is a truer thing to be said about what happened.

2. The secret service really fucked up. How on earth do they miss a lone sniper on a roof that many of the bystanders identified before them? I don’t think there is a conspiracy theory here, but do believe someone should probably be fired for their oversight.

I’d like to hear others’ opinions on this + where your credibility comes from. Name your news source or experience that leads you to believe what you’re sharing.
