What Are You Going To Do?

 "I think it was a poor choice of approaches to remembering my father, but what are you going to do?”

That was how Arnold Palmer's daughter chose to explain her reaction to the former game show host and convicted felon's "tribute" to her late father. The man who was impeached twice when he was president and would like to have that job again chose to regale his followers in Latrobe, Pennsylvania with a twelve minute digression about hometown hero Mister Palmer. A golf enthusiast himself, the adjudicated rapist chose not to discuss Arnold Palmer's exploits on the links, but rather his appearance in the showers. 

Once again, I ask for the nation at large: How is this race even close? 

It was at this same event that the convicted felon referred to his opponent as a "**** vice president." One might imagine that the usual rapier-like wit employed by this seventy-eight year old serial adulterer has become compromised by the clock ticking on the wall. Time is running out for "the weave." The abrupt insertion of what the kids at my school refer to with mild shock as "the S word" suggests that the time for subtlety has passed. 

Witness the Orange One's appearance earlier this week on Fox Und Freunds when he told the folks on the couch with him that he intended to close the Department of Education, and that he would deny federal funding to any district that didn't teach the things he wanted them to. He also spent fifteen minutes making french fries at a Philadelphia area McDonalds.

Just to prove a point. 

What point? 

Probably only those who are truly tuned into "the weave" understand exactly what the Republican candidate for "president" is attempting to do. The same guy who dissed Detroit at a campaign stop in (checks notes) Detroit. The same guy who referred to the insurrection of January 6, 2021 a "a day of love." Which capped off a week that began with his MAGA Dance Party. 

Some might consider this a poor choice for a candidate running for president. But what are you going to do?
