But the reason I decided finally to share this anecdote is because of a criminal-justice policy advocated by the presidential candidate heâs just endorsed. Itâs another of those many spectacular contradictions I mentioned earlier.
That is, Donald Trump, if he becomes president as Kennedy is now working to make happen, wants to start executing drug dealers. He said so in a speech as president in 2018: âThese are terrible people, and we have to get tough on those people, because ⌠if we donât get tough on the drug dealers, weâre wasting our time ⌠And that toughness includes the death penalty ⌠Weâre gonna solve this problem ⌠Weâre gonna solve it with toughness ⌠Thatâs what they most fear."
He said it again in 2022when he announced his current candidacy: âWeâre going to be asking [Congress to pass a law that] everyone who sells drugs, gets caught selling drugs, [is] to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts.â

I assume the âdrugs in questionâ will only be birth control, abortion, and gender-related prescriptions, right?

Weâve had a tiny service business for over 30 years, we service regular people all the way up to the ultra rich.
Today I had a long conversation with one of the ultra rich, he owns a huge company and is an influential person. Heâs in his 80s and a very nice man.
We were just talking about stuff not related to politics and then it came up. He said he was holding off on some financial stuff until after the election because heâs worried about whoâs going to be in office.
Uh oh, here we go.
Nope, he said he voted for trump once and he always voted for republicans but heâs done.
He said trump was nuts and the democrats needed to be in charge and then he explained to me why.
I said he was preaching to the choir.
It was a great conversation and gives me more hope.

I know you said you live in a pretty red area⌠are you still more or less Trump signs around your community than 2020?

Oh my gosh, itâs awful, and not just signs, itâs more like shrines.
But, once we get of our town we start to see a lot of Harris Walz signs.
But nothing like the trump stuff, just one sign on the lawn that says Harris Walz. No giant flags, no huge democrats kill babies signs, just old fasioned tasteful signs.
Iâm the only democrat on my private road, my neighbors know this so I wonât put a sign up.
But when anybody within wifi range looks for networks they will see several HarrisWalz networks because I have an old router broadcasting fun SSIDs.
Which reminds me I gotta add WeWontGoBack.
I also gotta find my notes, I used to have an open wifi network that would redirect to a web page. I want one of the network logins to redirect to the Harris Walz campaign page.
Thatâs the kind of stuff that amuses me.

Hereâs what you see when searching for wifi in my neighborhood along with everyone elseâs networks.
Side note, I canât believe how many people just leave the default names on their equipment.
I collect routers, I have a couple more I can plug in.
Got any good SSID suggestions to drive them nuts?

From a post on EvilBook:
Reposting from elsewhereâŚ
Have you heard about the Never Walz Group? They bought booth space at the MN state fair to hand out anti-Walz stuff. What they failed to do is buy the domainâŚso someone else did. 
Go to Neverwalz dot com (spelled out here because otherwise it will give a preview and ruin the surprise)
