Free Chat Friday, Week 28

TGIF News Viewers on a cloudy, possibly tornado-y day here in the Holler — and elsewhere? Blistering heat, hurricanes, flash floods, drought — another typical 21st century day. It’s also another week of painful politics, so I looked back at a few cartoons from 2016 and 2020 before the elections and was reminded that we were in similar stress then as well.. Seems to be the name of the game if Trump is involved — we’ve had to listen to the guy and all the responses and reactions to the guy for almost 10 years. No wonder we’re strung out. . . .

After last night’s press conference and today’s inevitable all day non-stop repetitive autopsies of the press conference (let’s count the number of times we hear the term “high stakes”. . . .) it’s time to free our minds from the white noise of pundit-speak; this is Free Chat, so fill us in. What’s going on in your neck of the woods? There’s got to be more happening than the destruction of the Free World, right?
