PEEVER LAW #106

DEMOCRACY CANNOT AFFORD TRUMP. WE GOT ENOUGH PROBLEMS.

We, The Heart of Our Democracy

We, The Heart of Our Democracy





THIS WAS THE BEST SPEECH AT THE DNC. A TREMENDOUS SUMMATION OF OUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO SHOCK THE NATION BACK TO LIFE. IT IS NEVER EASY. THE
RICH AND POWER BROKERS WILL NOT MOVE OVER WILLING. IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF
WORK, PARTICULARLY BY THE YOUNG AND DISENFRANCHISED. BUT IT WILL
HAPPEN. LOVE ALWAYS TRUMPS HATE.

EATING CROW

WELL, THE DNC IS OVER. I DID WATCH HILLARY'S SPEECH. IT IS GOOD TO HAVE A FEMALE RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. SHE DEFINITELY IS SUITED FOR THE JOB. SHE HAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE. AS PRESIDENT, TOO MUCH EXPERIENCE TRUMP'S TOO LITTLE. OR NONE. YOU CAN SEE BY HOW PEOPLE AGE THAT IT IS A HORRIBLE JOB TO HAVE.
I KEPT IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH A FRIEND AT THE CONVENTION WHO WAS A BERNIE SANDERS DELEGATE. WHILE ALL WAS NOT ENTIRELY WELL, MANY DECIDED TO GO OVER TO HILLARY AFTER BERNIE'S SPEECH. IF A MAJORITY OF BERNIE DELEGATES BELIEVE THE PLATFORM IS PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH TO PUSH FORWARD, THERE IS NO REASON THAT I, SITTING COMFORTABLY IN HOT SPRINGS, SHOULD NOT ALSO DO THE SAME. I AM NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED, BUT ENOUGH SO TO THROW MY SUPPORT TO HILLARY. TRUMP MUST BE BEATEN AT ALL COSTS.

What's next for the Bernie Sanders revolution? The populist insurgency is ratcheting up. • Hightower Lowdown: What an amazing Democratic primary season it’s been, including this happy result: WE WON! “We” being the millions of young …

PEEVER LAW #1

NOTHING GOOD EVER HAPPENS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

ALMOST 69 YEARS OLD

• I'm 69 years old and I still haven't run for the Presidency. I don't really want the job, which is why I would probably be pretty good at it. I wouldn't put up with any shit. If someone said let's go to war, I'd fire them. If someone said let's give the rich a tax break, I'd fire them. This would help the unemployment, cause I would then hire people with brains. Anyone mentioning doing away or cutting social security and medicare would be eligible for life in prison. Social programs for struggling people would be in, welfare for the corporate farmers and rich CEO's would be out. I would declare universal health-care a human right, and I wouldn't mess around with Congress, who are bought by the health-care industry. It would be a Presidential mandate. I probably wouldn't be very electable, but man, would I have fun debating these morons.
• I'm 69, but I don't feel that old. I feel about 25. Well, in the morning I feel a little older, but once I'm up, find my pants and a shirt and some shoes, have a cup of coffee, play golf, take a nap, and eat dinner, I figure someone made a mistake on my birth certificate. Long about 8pm, I head to bed. I take my meds and figure I'm probably 69 after all. They say it's all in the mind. Yea. you bet.
• Sixty-nine isn't all that old anymore. They say it's the new middle age. "They", of course, don't know what the hell they are talking about. "They" ain't ever been 69. The average age for males to survive is now 75. That's only six more years. I think I'm going to go back to church. I need to start cramming for finals.
• When I think back over 69 years, it seems to have passed so quickly. I remember my first day of school. My buddy was suppose to stop by and take me, but he forgot. That first kiss, which I ain't going to say much about, cause it wasn't my wife. All the baseball and basketball memories. College, seminary, graduate school. Forty-five years of marriage, two kids, ten dogs, and four different homes. It's all still up there, in my mind. Fortunately, I can still remember all of it. The good, the bad, and the ugly. It's all right there. All-in-all, I can't complain. It's been a good life. And I'm hoping to beat that 75. I still got a lot of things to do, like learning how to speak "Mexican"  (Bush Jr.) and figuring out what the hell a square root is. In the end, I'm only hoping for one thing: that people can say "He was a good man." That will do.

THE BROKEN SAVIOR



I think Sanders is a good guy, don't get me wrong. But he is not a revolutionary. He is a Democrat turned independent, which hardly qualifies him as a revolutionary. He owes way too much to way too many. He has been in politics most of his adult life. I would advice all those young and disenfranchised Sanders supporters to look outside the political realm for the leader. Someone comfortable and a part of the establishment will always weasel out when the going gets tough. Welcome to Bernieland, where the savior from Montpellier, who, when the going got tough, bailed. He cries reality. I cry sucking up. Revolutionaries don't do that.
