(Un?)Intended Consequences

In January 1998 John, Jacob and I visited the town of Canterbury, home to Canterbury Cathedral.

Image from Wikipedia because it was a damn good picture.

It is a a beautiful cathedral. But part of the fascination with it is it’s history — the fact that it was the site of the assassination of Archbishop Thomas Beckett at the behest of King Henry II. Sort of.

Reportedly, the King was famously infuriated with his former friend, the Archbishop for a number of transgressions, including excommunicating a bunch of English nobles. He famously uttered:

“Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?”

Being the King, folks took it as a command. Wikipedia names the four knights, Reginald fitzUrse, Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy and Richard le Breton, either carried out the king’s command, or misinterpreted the king’s intention. Either way, they assassinated Archbishop Thomas Beckett on the altar of Canterbury Cathedral.

In case you are hiding under your bed trying to get away from news about the election, Trump opened his trap again today, and once again said something that should disqualify him for the presidency.

Today’s vomit from Trump can be heard here:

Yeah, I know you didn’t click on the link.

He said:

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.”

Now let’s see. Did Donald Trump just call for the assassination of Hillary Clinton? Or will one of his followers, you know, one of the disgruntled, racist, misogynistic white guys get out his gun(s) and do Donald’s bidding.

“Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?”/

“Who will rid me of this troublesome girl?”

Especially since, in spite of the fact that Trump’s campaign is tanking and he is hemorrhaging in the polls, and he’s claiming that the election, if he loses, will be rigged.

What could possibly go wrong.

I Will Register

This election depends on me.

But it also depends on you.

My most important job this year is to vote. Yours too.

Will you be able to? Are you registered to vote? Or will you feel as foolish as Donald Trump’s kids who weren’t registered to vote in the primaries

I’m registered. I just double checked, because a lot of monkey business has been going on. I wanted to be sure.

**You can register or check to make sure you’re still registered. here:**

I WILL VOTE.COM

You can do this from your living room. Your office. Your phone while waiting in line at the grocery store.

Do it today.

Vote

Elections Matter.

Don’t let Donald Trump sit in the Oval Office.

It’s Just Not Funny Any More

My sense of humor has gotten me through the most difficult of times. Illness. Death. George W.

It got me through the early days of Donald Trump’s candidacy — because after all his is a walking joke, isn’t he?

Every one of this progressively outrageous actions has left me sputtering. But I’ve always found a thread, although rarely enough for a blog post lately.

But it’s just not funny any more.

This morning, GOP Candidate for President of the United States called upon Russia to hack Democratic Candidate for President and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email. He encouraged them to do so. He sanctioned a foreign government — one that the United States has had challenging relations with since the Russian Revolution in 1917.

As reported by the New York Times, the man we cannot let become president said:

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Mr. Trump said, staring directly into the cameras. “I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
