I was writing about the reaction to the 2016 election<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLooking back at that, I have no absolutely no idea what connection I was trying to connect to with that. I think, maybe, I was thinking it was something to do with the 2016 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the time I wrote in 2017, the morass that would have been the first bits of the Trump administration were already starting to swirl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I could go back through to see if I can find some of the most egregious examples of overreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe I’d be smart to just forget most of those overreaches. But that’d require separating out what many of the same people excused with regards to the 2020 riots, and COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But my reflex is simply to refuse to associate with the worst examples of overreach on either, or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yeah, I’m just not going to associate with you, much less do business with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe that’s unfair, but it’s all I can do in my position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nI’m subjecting myself to more Joe Rogan because I wanted to hear what JD Vance had so say, even though I voted against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guy can speak. Can’t say that same of any of the other people on the major parties’ tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nI’m really following things at a distance. I’ll elaborate more in a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, I’m glancing at the NFL scores. Fire Dennis Allen? Um, okay. But it looks like Mike McCarthy should probably go first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*looks around for the entry where the Mike McCarthy offense-coordinated Saints beat the St. Louis Rams*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Um, yeah, I can’t find it right offhand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will I be long-appreciative to the coaching staff that finally brought a playoff win to the Coonasstrodome? Yep. Am I bored as hell by the string of teams that all look like it’s 2000 again? Yep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
