Politics: 2019 Kentucky Election Results

With the 2019 elections already a thing of the past, I might as well write this and one other blog post about it before looking ahead to more of 2020 elections. I had written my thoughts on what was going on with Kentucky governor election before it happened. Well, now I’m going to post some of what’s happened since regarding it.

The Democrat, Andy Beshear, won the election against incumbent Republican’t Matt Bevin. It would seem that Matt wasn’t wanting to go down easily as, instead of conceding his loss, he claimed that there were voting irregularities. There was no evidence to back this up. Well, there could have been, but Matt didn’t bring any up or try to fabricate it.

Some say this election as Kentuckians rejecting the ways of Trump. But it wasn’t that, not really. Matt was the most unpopular governor of any state at that time. He was widely hated among the people in his state and own party. Plus, of all the elections that took place in Kentucky in 2019, Matt was the only Republican who lost the race they competed in.

Sadly, before Andy could take over, the Republicans in the state continued their terrible ways of doing power grabs and limited a newly elected Democrat of any power that they would have had otherwise. That’s a huge problem for this country as a whole and should be banned.

Something that might be worth pointing out relating to this post are the ads. It seemed that the way Matt tried to promote himself failed him. He tried to align himself with Trump, but that did not convince others to vote for him. He did some racist attacks, but that didn’t help this time. And he never really made much of a case for himself.

When Bill Clinton was a lame duck, he gained controversy for the last minute pardons that he had done on his way out. Matt is now facing similar backlash. Only he pardoned more and some worse people, some of whom had political connections to him. Sadly, our only hope for justice in this case is hoping that they will be caught with a new crime or one they weren’t charged with before. Matt must not have cared how much worse he would look as a result of this.

I don’t know if pardons can be undone and I also don’t know what issues they might have in terms of why they are even a law. People in Kentucky, prominent Republicans, it should be added as well, are not liking what Matt did and calling him out on it. Even Mitch McConnell is saying just how bad Matt is. If Mitch thinks you messed up, then you done messed up.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/12/13/1905525/-Kentucky-Republican-Senate-President-Calls-On-Feds-To-Investigate-Bevin-s-Pardons?detail=emaildkre

I don’t think there is much else to say. You are more than welcome to find out what Matt said about the pardons himself. I was going to include an article, but it wouldn’t load and I couldn’t read what it said as a result. The first Bush also caused controversy when he pardoned I think all of the people related to the Iran Contra Affair.

To sum up this post, the most unpopular governor of the country lost reelection, there were some issues with changing the rules on their way out, there were controversial pardons that were not all without personal bias, and Democrat Andy Beshear is now governor of Kentucky.

Politics: 2020 Republican Presidential Primary Thoughts

Sorry for any potential confusion about when political posts in this blog would appear. I have a certain thing as to when I can do certain blog posts. Anyways, since I talked about the primary that the Democrats are having for president, I might as well talk about the one that Republicans are having. There are other Republicans besides Trump in the election. I’m kind of saddened by how little focus any of them are getting in the news. People should know that Trump is not the only Republican running for president next year. But that’s not the only issue.

The RNC is meddling in their own election process. The same people who thought that Bernie Sanders was rigged to lose are making it harder for anyone other than Trump to win the primary next year. For one, they are refusing to hold any official debates. Secondly, they are cancelling the primaries in various states. I have no idea if this means that the states that aren’t cancelling primaries get more delegates or not. While you may hear Republicans correctly state that the Democrats did this in 2012 and 1996, you can quickly point out that there were no others in the race then to make it matter. Republicans also cancelled primaries in 1992 when Bush I had a challenger in the Republican primary.

To date, the states that I know for sure are cancelling primaries are Kansas, South Carolina, Nevada, Alaska, and Arizona. Minnesota did something similar by putting only Trump’s name on the ballot on their state. Now some of these people running have to make sure that they are on all the ballots in the states that will do primaries. There have already been mistakes made.

It is interesting and oddly appropriate how the Republican Party is being undemocratic about how the voting process works. Of course, Democratic and democratic are actually different in some ways. But I might as well get to who is in the primary.

Donald Trump had been an absolute failure as president. In my mind, only very few people have been worse presidents. His strange cult of followers insists that he is great or that it doesn’t quite matter if he’s racist as long as his supposed greatness is intact. Of course, not all of his fans admit that he is racist. But it doesn’t matter. His term is going to end sooner rather than later and I don’t see a path to him winning in 2020. But his primary opponents aren’t much better in terms of if they are good.

Bill Weld was the first person besides Trump to enter the race. According to some timelines, he was in the race longer than Trump. Bill is very moderate, but doesn’t seem to have any strong ways with the Republican Party. His liberal side is the worst of it. He was once a Libertarian and was their candidate for vice-president in 2016. I shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss him, but what he thinks seems to be all over the place.

Joe Walsh was an Illinois state representative who didn’t last that long in office. He seems to have a rivalry with Tammy Duckworth, the junior US senator from Illinois. She has pointed out a lot of the controversy he has caused, such as when he claimed he would grab his musket if Trump would lose the presidency. Why is he running against Trump? Apparently, Joe has seen the light and knows what a terrible person Trump is. There could be hope for him thus far. He is not a candidate I would abandon the Democratic primary to vote for. But he might be a good enough person if you were going to do that.

Mark Stanford is quite an immoral person. Unlike Trump, he has experience as he was a US Congressman before becoming governor of North Carolina. He then disappeared for a while and it turned out that it was to have an affair. He doesn’t seem to have done anything illegal to do that, as far as I know, which I could be wrong about. He then returned to Congress where he voted against Trump 11% of the time, earning his ire and causing Mark to lose the next primary. This makes me wonder if his run is simply about revenge. But he might be the challenger in the race with the most experience.

There are more candidates in the race, including a white supremacist and Holocaust denier. Of the main people, there are no truly good or outstanding candidates. It doesn’t seem like any of them should be president ever, especially Trump. But if I had to pick one that I think that people should vote for that I’d actually want to see as president, it would be Joe Walsh. If you want to vote for someone in the Republican primary that you would actually want to see a president, then vote for him. And do not vote for a candidate you want to lose. That might be part of the reason of how we wound up with Trump in the first place.

Politics: 2020 Democratic Presidential Primary Thoughts

I may start doing recurring posts in this blog about the two party’s primaries until after both of them have been decided. Since a Republican is president now, the Democrats get to go first this year and I hope to be able to do recurring updates sometimes when I can. I will mention some of the candidates as far too many aren’t important even if they are in the race.

Michael Bennet is a Colorado senator. He could be good, but hasn’t made a mark yet in the race. I don’t think that we should vote for people who don’t really make a mark, although we could try to prove the media wrong and say that he would be a good person. I’d say that he is a good person with good values, but might not work without a notable good boost. Strangely, him being a white man might actually help.

Joe Biden is not the good choice for president that many people think he is. He might have even hurt Obama’s chances of winning the presidency. He’s not a safe choice. The scandals with him regarding women aren’t too bad, but they are bad enough that we won’t ever hear the end of them. He’s known for blunders and not admitting when he’s wrong. He is almost like Trump in some ways that make me think he shouldn’t be trying to replace him. In 2012, people might have voted for Obama as they didn’t see Mitt Romney as being much different. We could have that same issue with Joe Biden against Trump.

Cory Booker is a New Jersey senator and a largely good candidate. But I don’t know if he has done much to stand out in this large race. Still, if SNL can get Keegan Michael Key to show up and do Cory Booker impersonations, that would be something I’d like to see at least once. And I do think that he’s different enough from Obama that he’ll avoid any potential pratfalls there. He does have possible personality issues, but that might be common where he’s from.

Steve Bullock is the governor of Montana. He is a Democrat is a red state. He could be good, but hasn’t made a mark in the race. He might be one of the candidates who would be better off running for senate instead. (Does Montana have a class two senate seat?) If he can win in red places, he might be a better choice than others.

Pete Buttigieg is a gay mayor in Indiana. I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with him due to him being gay. But that might be his only claim to fame right now. He could be questionable in terms of quality and whether or not he should last in the race. He’s also really young. And it would be very interesting if it were him against Mike Pence in 2020. I do like the fact that Pete is a Christian. I’d put him at the better end of the spectrum, but not at the top.

Julián Castro is a former Obama cabinet member. He’s a good candidate, but hasn’t made a mark on the race yet. Maybe he will work. I think that he’s Hispanic so that could be a good pro in the race since Trump has done a lot of negative things regarding the Hispanic community. I guess that we’ll see what kind of mark he’ll leave on the race and if he’ll stay in long or not.

John Delaney is a current US representative. It is too hard to tell if he’s a good candidate or not. He might be one. He’s a possible moderate, which might be good for attracting independents and Republicans who don’t want to vote for Trump. Maybe he’s a better choice that we realize, but he hasn’t made much of a mark just yet.

Tulsi Gabbard is a current US representative and it is too hard to tell if she will have a major impact on the race in the end. Maybe she will work, or maybe she won’t. I don’t think that she has much impact on the race right now, but isn’t a bad candidate at all.

Kamala Harris is a California senator. Maybe she would work. It is kind of complicated, her place in the senate right now. But she could work. She is kind of in a similar place where Obama was when he first ran for president in 2008. I think that she is too new and can be a bit of a loud person who can be mean or at least come off that way at times.

Amy Klobuchar is a Minnesota senator and she seems good, but hasn’t made much of a dent yet in the race. Apparently, she might be ill tempered according to people who have worked with her. Buzzfeed made it seem like a bunch of people who worked for her suffered emotional abuse and she has an unusually high turnover rate of those people. While I don’t know for sure if this is accurate, I have the feeling that she might not be as good a choice as I first thought that she was as you might have seen in my Madam Secretary blog.

Wayne Messam is a Florida mayor and might not even be considered a real candidate. I don’t think that he has been invited to any debates just yet. He is black, not that it matters much. He should probably be avoided when it comes time for the election.

Beto O’Rourke is a former representative and maybe he would work, but he is probably running for the wrong office. He should run for the US senate again instead of president as he had a better chance of flipping a Texas seat blue than he does of winning the presidency.

Tim Ryan is a current US representative. He is possibly good, but fails to make a mark yet. I’d have to say that since he hasn’t stood out in any way, he might be good just to ignore unless he makes more of a mark in the future.

Bernie Sanders is a Vermont senator who is a good, but I think he’s not someone to vote for this time around. He might just be going for the next in line for the presidency and that hasn’t been a good thing. It failed Democrats in 2016 going with who they felt was next in line to run and it also failed Republicans in both 2008 and 2012. Plus, his health problems are worrisome as well and he should just stay where he is in the senate.

Joe Sestak is a former representative and he might be the worst candidate in the race out of all of them with experience simply because Democrats don’t like him. They have supported others before him and you shouldn’t go with someone that their own party doesn’t like.

Tom Steyer has no political experience and I can’t remember much else about him such as who he is or how he made such an important enough dent in the race to be important enough to be considered a major candidate. Like all candidates without experience, he should be avoided as we’ve seen what lack of experience translates to in terms of no things done.

Elizabeth Warren is a Massachusetts senator and she might be the best choice for who out of the Democrats should be the next president. I think that it is more likely her winning than anyone else. We’ll see what happens for sure later. If all conservatives have against her are racist attacks and name calling, maybe she’ll turn the phrase “nevertheless, she persisted,” into “nevertheless, she was elected.”

I’m going to combine the last two people into one section. Neither Marianne Williamson nor Andrew Yang have political experience. Andrew says that he wants to give every American $1,000. It sounds like it would work as incentive to vote for him, but that money is better spent elsewhere outside of just random handouts. I don’t even know much about Marianne Williamson in terms of who she is or what she does. Would the fact that they are minorities help them or hurt them against Trump? I have no idea, but I think that good candidates should have experience and while we can get good people without it, why take that risk?

There are others in the race, but they aren’t important in terms of whether or not they should be voted for or even have an influence on the race. Do people even know offhand about all of the other candidates in the race? They aren’t really serious at all.

Now I get to my endorsement of who people should vote for in the election: Elizabeth Warren. She is the best candidate in my mind and she will keep persisting until she wins. I hope that she is as good a candidate as I think she is, although I don’t think that she’s flawed like some others might think either.

I’m going to wrap up this post around here. I might do more of these in the future as more of the candidates change and we’ll see what all happens with that. I hope to have a post on the DNC convention next year and will continue to post on the presidential election until after it’s over and I have the final results. We’ll see what else I’ll talk about in terms of the elections.

Politics: Kentucky Governor Election 2019

This will be the only post about a governor election this year that I will be going into any huge detail about by doing a post like this specifically about this state’s governor election and not the other two. But I live close enough to the state that it makes sense for me to cover the incumbent governor, the main challenger, other challengers, and who I think you should vote for if you can vote in this state. Let’s get to it.

The incumbent who is running for reelection is Republican Matt Bevin. He is actually the lowest rated of all the current governors in terms of approval rating. Thinking about his policies, he was in favor of exposing his kids to chicken pox. That might have been okay at one point, but now there are vaccines against it that should be used instead. He is in favor of the right to work legislation that is poorly named and a bad idea. He’s also against refugees.

Now let’s get to the Democratic candidate in the race. Andy Beshear is in favor of universal health care. Based on the political commercials that I’ve seen, he’s in favor of a lot of good things that are bad things according to the other party. What’s funny is that a lot of commercials that Republicans do are meant to make one vote against Democrats and they have the exact opposite effect on me.

There are some third party candidates in the race as well. John Hicks is a libertarian and Amy Husk is from the Socialist Workers Party. Neither of them have political experience. Both of them should be avoided as a result.

To end this post, I’ll get to who I think Kentuckians should vote for on November 5^th of this year. Matt is a terrible governor in my opinion and shouldn’t be reelected. Thus, Andy Beshear is who you should vote for. His liberal policies probably aren’t as bad like Matt would have you believe. That is why I think that Andy is the best candidate in the race.

Politics: 2019 Elections

Well, as promised, here is the first post on future elections that I will tell you about in this blog. I am going to post a date regarding the 2019 elections. You might not know that there are even things to vote for this year. I’m largely only going to mention the three states that have governor races this year. It is up to you to keep track of any other election that might be going on this year if you aren’t part of these three states.

Which states are electing governors? Kentucky, Mississippi, and Louisiana are. I will do a more in depth post about Kentucky in the next post. I won’t do the other two states as in depth. Note that the primary for Kentucky and Mississippi have both already happened. Both Kentucky and Mississippi have Republican governors. The governor of Mississippi is term limited. Louisiana has a Democratic governor. Now let’s take a look as to what is happening in each state.

Kentucky: Republican incumbent Matt Bevin is up against Democratic Andy Beshear. I am close enough to this state to see some ads for the election, but have only seen two thus far. I do not know what to make of the candidates.

Mississippi: Jim Hood won the primary on the Democratic side. A runoff between Tate Reeves and Bill Waller Jr. on the Republican side will take place on August 27^th of this year. I wouldn’t know who to pick on the Republican side, but wouldn’t go with either of them when it comes time for the general election anyways.

Louisiana: John Bel Edwards is a Democrat incumbent running for reelection. He is not the only Democrat in the race. There are also a lot of Republicans in the race as well. The primary voting system is kind of weird and you won’t see parties mentioned on the ballot. If someone gets enough votes in the first round, there won’t be a second round. It is possible that there will be two candidates from the same party in the runoff if there is one. The main voting is on October 12^th with a possible runoff on November 16^th. Note that both dates are Saturdays.

Before I end this post, it is worth noting that since there isn’t as much to talk about in an off year election like 2019, posts that I’ll mention before the events have happened might cover both of the primaries for president. I’ll start with the Democratic one since they are the challengers in this race and go into the Republican one next. I will do this on and off until I am able to get to the main election for president once each party’s nominee is decided. Now to end this post, I will get to the schedule of the elections this year.

Schedule (dates are Tuesdays unless otherwise mentioned)

August 27, 2019: Mississippi runoff election

October 12, 2019 (Saturday): Louisiana jungle primary election, possibly only election

November 5, 2019: general election, Kentucky and Mississippi general election date

November 16, 2019 (Saturday): Louisiana runoff election (if needed)

S1E10

If you are keeping track of when this show was originally available on CBS all access versus when the show is airing for free now (6-16-2019 versus 2-19-2017), the delay of time that is was 850 days. Does that mean that whenever the second season will air for free (if it does), it will also be a delay like that?

В «Тайме» от 14 мая 2018 года была опубликована статья под названием «ФБР в кризисе», в которой объясняются проблемы, возникающие с бюро после различных проблем, таких как неправильное обращение с расследованием электронной почты Хилари Клинтон. Эндрю МакКейб помог утвердить утечку в Фонд Клинтона незадолго до выборов в 2016 году, что заставило Джеффа Сессиона уволить его до запланированной отставки. Это упомянуто на странице 37 этого выпуска. Джеймс Коми совершил две грубые ошибки, которые всех разозлили. Сначала, 7-5-2016, он сделал пресс-конференцию, где он очистил Хилари Клинтон от преступлений. При этом он возобновил расследование менее чем за две недели до выборов, согласно странице 36 статьи. Все это заставляет задуматься, а не была ли основная причина проблем с выборами связана с Россией вообще.

If I had to guess why the show is airing now, I think that it is likely because of the new show that the showrunners of this show will be doing on CBS called Evil. I think that this would help promote the show in a way. I don’t think that it was an online petition or anything like that which got this to air for free on TV.

Earlier in this blog, I had shared a video of the ten hour version of the Harry Potter Ding Dong Song. Sometimes you will hear people say that they watched all of a ten hour YouTube video but you won’t believe them. Well, someone did watch all ten hours of that other video and posted a video of themselves doing it. Here is a link to this other video in question.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-tcNuBG8m8

Something that I might have to keep track of some more at some point in time is the show Without a Trace. I plan to add actors from that into cast updates of certain blogs of mine. I might even have to post a link to the theme song from it here, but I don’t think that I will since I have the first season on DVD and no one in the original cast ever left the show. It is interesting as most shows aren’t like that.

Now since I won’t be able to post much about politics in this blog for a while since I won’t know when I’ll be back with posts at all after this, I might as well get to the idea that is going around that Trump somehow isn’t racist. This idea would be laughable if so many people weren’t trapped in this horrible line of thinking. What’s sad is that there are some news outlets that aren’t helping dispel any of these myths.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/7/25/1874222/-How-The-New-York-Times-obsession-with-white-voters-helps-amplify-Trump-s-racism?detail=emaildkre

In the meantime, we have to remember all sorts of important things about the world. While one side seems to be stuck on the wrong idea that climate change either isn’t real or isn’t caused by humans (either to not fix the problem or because the coal or some other industry is paying them enough money to continue to cause problems since they would be negatively affected by it), another side realizes that there is only one planet earth and we should save it. Solving climate change is important. And we might have to solve it incredibly soon too.

Continuing the story of the false imprisonment of a US born man who was detained by ICE, he seems to have gone through a lot worse things than we realize. And he might have gone through stuff that illegal immigrants (who are still human beings) might suffer through as well. This man should become the face of changing the whole debate on illegal immigration.

Also earlier, I talked about the fake presidential seal that had aired during one of Trump’s many campaign rallies. The follow-up story to it explains who did this, but not how it wound up at the rally, which I think remains unknown still.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/7/25/1874522/-Meet-the-man-who-created-the-fake-presidential-seal?detail=emaildkre

We still have issues of people who are accused of sexual misconduct in some way. Here is an article about another one. If this were a Democrat, this would be the end of the nomination. But since this is a Republican, then you can bet that this will not be the end of this story like it should be.

If you ever hear about Trump having his highest approval rating ever, know that while it isn’t a lie, it is not the full story either. He has never had more than 50% of people supporting him in his approval rating his whole term. No other president that had a recorded approval rating failed to have a positive day of polling in their term.

Switching to the show for a bit, it is worth noting that they keep saying Ponzi scheme over and over again and I haven’t been saying it in this blog. The reason I haven’t been saying it is that I didn’t know how to spell it and Word kept underlining it in red, making me think that it wasn’t spelt right. Well now I was able to look it up and see what the real spelling of it was.

There has been a lot of issues between the two sides of our political world in this country. The main issues might be best described in this article. People are convinced of things that just aren’t true or correct. They live in their own world.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/7/28/1874311/-Left-and-right-have-more-than-a-difference-of-opinion-it-s-a-difference-of-reality?detail=emaildkre

Interesting things that I have read about protests and other things like that is about something that I never knew before. Something important happened once called the silent protest. You can read about it more here.

Now if someone ever tells you that both sides are the same in regards to politics in that both are ridiculous or that both are corrupt, then you should show them this article and point out the errors of their ways. There are too many issues with what is going on in this world to think that they are the same.

Since voter suppression is a huge problem, I thought that I might as well explain some of what’s going on with that. What can be done to fix it? Well, you might as well do any of the four things mentioned here to fight this terrible issue.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/7/29/1875195/-Four-things-you-can-do-TODAY-to-fight-voter-suppression?detail=emaildkre

Here is yet another article on this man whose name I should remember and hope that people remember since he is very important to the country now. They were seriously going to deport this US citizen simply because they wouldn’t believe that he was born here. They wanted to get him to do this.

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/7/29/1875217/-U-S-born-man-said-immigration-officials-tried-to-torment-him-into-agreeing-to-be-deported?detail=emaildkre

There are huge problems caused by white supremacy. But at least some people know that there issues with it and know that they can stop it if they know of the problem and can prevent issues with it.

Now that there have been two new mass shootings in less than 24 hours from each other, you might wonder what my thoughts on the two new mass shootings are. One was in Dayton, Ohio. The other was in El Paso, Texas. The Texas shooting was one done by a racist person inspired by Trump to kill as many Hispanics as he could. The other one was by a more liberal minded person who was inspired by Elizabeth Warren in some way. We don’t know enough about either one right now, although I hope to find out more about them later.

It seems that people keep thinking that doing nothing about mass shootings might do something to change it. Remember what Einstein said insanity was. Maybe we are focusing on the wrong thing that people can’t agree on right now. Whether or not we will ever be able to offer any help besides thoughts and prayers is unknown.

Act one has Maia brought into the office in front of Barbara and Adrian. They want her to be more bold and not apologize too much for everything. She was in for a review of sorts. Lucca then comes in for the same sort of thing. They want her to be a partner. The song from the series premiere was briefly playing in the background. Maia and Lucca talk for a bit with Maia worried about if they like her or not.

Marisa comes to bring a Mr. Stack (I think) about a certain case where he is set up and accused of being a cyber terrorist. There is some bad stuff on his computer that could cause a blackout that he has no idea how it got there. He offers bitcoin as currency and there are some random words on the screen about it. They wonder whether or not to take the case.

Act two is when Colin and Lucca talk to each other. They had broken up. She gives him the flash drive with the information on it regarding the crime. Henry is offered a deal to get less time in jail. He calls someone for help. Diane gets a call about her husband and he was in a car accident. People come for Lucca. She is being detained as a witness in a case.

Act three has Henry talking to someone. He doesn’t want to go back to prison. He then calls Maia about attending dinner together. He was also told not to say goodbye to anyone. Maia wonders what to do about Lucca. Diane goes to the hospital in order to see Curtis, her estranged husband. He had called her earlier this morning. She is really worried about him.

Colin doesn’t like what went on with Lucca. He wants to quit, but gets promoted instead. There is chaos as they try to free Lucca. Maia winds up with Adrian. Lucca is being charged with working with the cyber terrorist. They don’t think that they have a good judge for this case.

Act four has this man from earlier explaining to Henry that people want to go after Maia for perjury because of her testimony to Sue Sylvester in the previous episode and Henry has to take the 35 years in order to get her off. Marissa looks after who might have done something and they find a man from earlier. Diane talks to him as Marissa is Jewish and Jay, the investigator, is black. They still don’t know what he might be doing in regards to the blackout.

Diane is shown a video of Curt and he is shown to have saved a baby, the act that got him in the hospital. Adrian believes that the flash drive might have been a Trojan horse. But it was an act of sorts for some reason. Maia talks to Mr. Staples, the man who is very sinister and showed up earlier this season. Maia fights with the other lawyer as the case gets really crazy in some way.

Maia talks to her parents at a meal. Henry wants to take the deal of 35 years, but still wants to have one last meal with his family. Diane talks to Mr. Staples. He then talks to some man that I’m not sure if we’ve seen before or not. This man is arrested. It is their client that shows up and a blackout happens just when he wants to it.

Act five has Lucca being released as the real hacker was caught. Diane and Adrian talk to each other about various things. Meanwhile, the Rindalls eat a meal together. Maia learns that her father is turning himself in. She wants him to fight, but he admits that he is guilty of this. He paid off whoever learned or got suspicious of the Ponzi scheme. He is then taken away.

Diane talks to Curtis about what all he has done. He wants to invite her to dinner. He promises that an affair won’t happen again. Lucca talks to Maia after showing up to where Maia lives. People show up to where Maia lives. Since Henry fled, she is being placed under arrest. Now I feel like I might have to get the second season on DVD as I’m not sure when or if the second season will air on TV or not.

There will be some things to talk about in this long closing, but not much that I will know for sure with no way or knowing when or if this show will air its second season on TV. I won’t know for sure when this blog will return as a result. If you go back to my first blog post, it will have a link to my Good Wife blog. It is still updated at least once a month. It will also include updates into who is not part of the cast of this show after the first season of it was over.

I won’t know for sure when most of these updates will be in this blog. I will be posting about elections in purely political posts until there is a show for me to blog about again. The posts will probably be on the second or third Fridays of each month. There could be some on other times as well, depending on if there aren’t enough read posts in my Elementary blog. I will not talk about elections that won’t matter at this point in time.

What is the election schedule of what I’ll talk about? Well, if you have ever read any of my Madam Secretary blog, you would know which states I might care about in terms of senator and governor elections more than others. I’ll also do ones about what happened in general with each thing.

I’ll start with the 2019 elections. They are the Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi governor elections. The 2020 elections include presidential, class two senators, and governor elections in 11 states including Missouri and Indiana. The 2021 elections are Virginia and New Jersey governor elections. The 2022 elections are class three senators and governor elections in 36 states. The 2023 elections are the same as 2019. The 2024 elections are the class one senators.

Well, that’s about it for this blog post. You will not see any political posts on my facebook page if you know them from there. There’s not much else to say. If I get the second season on DVD, posts on it will appear randomly. Days posts of this blog could appear right now are Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. I hope that I can move all political stuff to this blog once Madam Secretary ends, although it could wind up in any blog about a political enough show. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

There is this YouTube channel that I noticed at one point that covered what The Good Wife was like in terms of legal realism. This video is by Legal Eagle and shows an actual lawyer talking about the first episode of the show in question. Based on just that first episode, it would seem that the show is more realistic than I would believe. But there are all the other episodes that he doesn’t have time to review.

Статья под названием «Мастера шпионов» была напечатана в номере журнала «Время» от 6-11-2018. В ней Джеймс Клэппер и Майкл Хейден рассказывают о постоянных атаках Трампа на всех и каждого. На странице 43 говорится, что Майкл говорит: «Трамп подрывает действительность институтов, на которые мы будем полагаться еще долго после того, как он покинет свой пост». Проблемы, о которых они говорят, которые вызывает Трамп, могут привести к таким вещам, как «правительство крах, гражданская война и диктатура в других странах ». Действительно, многим фанатам Трампа нравится, что он встряхивает правительство, но я хочу, чтобы оно оставалось правительством после того, как он покинет свой пост. Эти два человека в статье убеждены, что Россия повлияла на выборы и вызвала победу Трампа.

So many people seem to have a hard time believing or accepting the fact that Trump is racist. I don’t know why this would be. There’s a whole Wikipedia article about the racist habits of Trump. Despite what this article says, the tweet that you would read by reading this article isn’t dumb so much as it is funny based on how wrong such a thing that they are suggesting is.

By now, some of you know that the Robert Mueller hearing happened. I watched some of the end of it. I don’t think that he helped either side as he seemed to just not answer a lot of questions that he was asked for some reason. I guess that he really is a Republican. Whatever the reason for this, Trump talked about how he felt that what had happened was a great day and great win for him.

After Election Day next year, I have the feeling that upon hearing that the Democrats took control of the Senate and presidency while keeping control of the House, he’ll still think it was a good day for his party. That’s how delusional Trump is. He thinks that things are going great, even when they aren’t. Any bets on how long it will take him to realize that hell is a bad place when he winds up there?

You’d think that election security would be a bi-partisan issue. It may well still be. But it seems that Mitch McConnell will do almost anything to appease the Russians. By now, most of us know that he has connections to them. Where is his dark money coming from? Hopefully not Russia as that would be illegal. (Is any dark money legal?) He is an embarrassment to democracy and I’d love to see him lose the primary.

Since I talked about racism earlier, I might as well get to this post about something that should not be happening in this country. There was a man who was jailed for about a month by immigration officials. This man is a US citizen since birth. Why had this happened? Well, racism is likely the answer, in addition to other horrible issues. Here is an article explaining more.

After Trump’s non-coherent ramblings to teenagers (of whom it should be pointed out often make poor life choices), people noticed something at his rally. Maybe it was that the American flag on the display screen behind him wasn’t working like at the last RNC convention. No, it was the logo that was wrong. I think that someone has since taken responsibility for this, but I don’t know for sure. Maybe this was just a staff mistake as they claim. It could be someone part of the resistance in his administration. I haven’t forgotten that that’s a thing. Whatever the reason, this happened.

Act one is when Maia and Lucca talk before Maia is going into a place. She has to walk past a group of other people where they talk with Sue, I mean Madeline. Lucca is the lawyer of Maia in this case. Maia has to answer truthfully to this agent. Adrian and Diane talk some about a cop from the first case of the season. Todd is a person in the cell that they talk to. But he’s not the brutality victim. Colin Sweeny is. Does this mean that we won’t see the new Colin in this show, Colin Morrello?

Act two has Colin talking to Diane and Adrian about his case. He also talks about the beatings that he intentionally takes by his lover so they don’t get confused. Back in her whatever thing that’s going on, Maia talks about the 2008 financial crisis. She was 17 at the time which would make her character about 26 now since this was set in 2017. Madeline talks more about what went on this day. She was at a doctor appointment before the time that she thinks her Uncle Jack was talking about the case.

Madeline thinks that wishful thinking was turned into actual memories. Is that a thing that happens? Lucca thinks that Maia might be lying in order to protect her father. I don’t think that I’d help a family member get away with a crime. Back with the Colin case, he is given a 3 million dollar bail. Adrian thinks that Colin could actually get this corrupt cop put away.

Madeline thinks that the doctor appointment was a cover for her mother to have sex with her brother-in-law. It is possible that she and Jack were trying to frame Henry for the scam. She doesn’t think that they actually happened, these appointments.

Act three has Barbara and Adrian talk about their infamous client to a lawyer who finds the whole thing funny. On the stand, the cop testifies. Colin says that he doesn’t have any marks on his hands and couldn’t have assaulted this cop. Diane is surprised that he might actually be telling the truth. Lucca learns more about Madeline and how she helped put away George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich. Maia talks about meetings that malaria prevention was going on. Her name was being used for donations, but she never knew what amount of money was being sent.

Diane talks to the cop on the stand about the case at hand. He fought with someone at the gym who was the real reason for the bruise on his hand. Madeline talks more about her eighteenth birthday party where Diane was at. Maia had a boyfriend at the time and either didn’t realize her true orientation or was still in the closet about it. There is a form that Maia might have signed too early and won’t count as a result. She thinks about many things about her life then as a result.

Act four is when Colin’s girlfriend talks on the stand about him hitting the cop of his own free will. Lucca and Maia talk to Madeline some more about Maia’s graduation from law school and living with her girlfriend, Amy. Madeline suspects that there might have been some bad things possibly happening on Amy’s behalf. There was a drug party that Colin went to with his girlfriend that causes more issues.

The team is able to get dash cam footage of that night after asking the judge about it in question. The firm’s investigator looks for a man in a suit. Wasn’t he the character that Jim Caziel played on Person of Interest? Richard is a person brought who might be a witness in the crime. Colin admits that he might have gotten privileges of some sort by donating to Richard. Maia never told her father about Amy’s parents investing in something which makes Maia realize that she might have known about the scam, even if she didn’t realize it at the time.

Act five has Adrian thinking that they have to use the drug angle to win the case. They both seem to like working where they are. Diane might have wanted to retire, but it seems that this show’s writers, I mean life, had other plans for her. Adrian realizes that Todd is the person they need to solve this case. He was given a phony possession charge that was dropped. Colin seems to give him a weird, secret handshake. Maia did not want Amy’s parents to invest in the fund. But she didn’t know why.

Colin didn’t get his ambassadorship that he was wanting. There is some sort of weird disclaimer that the show gives that might have been in Diane’s head. Maia talks her last bit to Madeline. Madeline wants to prosecute Maia.

On the next episode of The Good Fight, Maia has issues, Lucca is taken by the feds, and I can’t tell what else might be going on. Depending on what goes on with my life, I might not be back on this coming Sunday like I normally would be. But I should have the season finale posted sometime next month. I’ll explain more of what will be different in this blog in the next post. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Since this show is on Sundays, I might as well mention the shows that I watch or am currently interested in that air on Sundays. In addition to this show, I’m currently also watching 60 Minutes, Burden of Truth, and Instinct. I also would watch all of the ABC shows of Celebrity Family Feud, The $100,000 Pyramid, and To Tell the Truth if they didn’t conflict with so many other shows. I might want to check out What Just Happened? But I don’t know yet when or if that will work out.

В статье «Тайм» от 26 февраля 2018 года подробно рассматриваются проблемы, которые вызвал Трамп, не помогая рабочим, которые проголосовали за него. Можно многое почерпнуть из простого прочтения статьи. Некоторые люди, например человек по имени Хистер, убеждены, что Трамп не лжет, как его цитируют на странице 29 этого номера. Эта статья указывает в том же параграфе «что« Вашингтон пост »зафиксировала более 2000 ложных данных только за первый год жизни Трампа». Люди говорят о своих предполагаемых фактах и даже утверждают, что сделали свою домашнюю работу по этому поводу. Человек в статье думал, что Обама никогда не делал 3% -ный рост ВВП, когда он фактически «вырос на 3% в течение нескольких кварталов при Обаме». Некоторые люди на своих надгробиях выгравируют идею, что Трамп всегда прав.

By now, everyone knows about the terrible child separation policy that is still going on for some reason. They are detained in places where terrible things can and do happen to them. Here’s an article about one of those things.

So much has been going wrong with the Trump administration, I’m starting to think that if the only reason he hasn’t been charged is because he’s a sitting president. This makes me wonder if he wasn’t president anymore, if he’d be in jail like the former presidents of Peru. If you read this article, there could be other reasons why different investigations into Trump ended when they did.

The bad news is that a liberal justice of the Supreme Court has died. The good news is that he was no longer on the court when he died and his seat is safely in the hands of one of the Obama appointees, I forget which one. I might do a tribute to him in this blog when I start doing political posts after this season is done airing and before I am able to watch the next season. I plan to do a post on every Supreme Court justice at some point after they pass. You can read a bit more about him here.

I’ll never understand why we have a political side who doesn’t admit that climate change is a problem. Is this because they are well funded by the people who help make it a problem? Do they just not want to fix things and think that the best way of handling things is pretending that there is no problem? Are they not paying attention to the unusual weather we keep having every year? At least we have people who do something about it by refusing to work with people who can’t handle the truth.

By now, you’ve probably heard about the squad, the four Democratic women from Congress who Trump told to go home despite the fact that they are all American citizens. This racist tweet got his show cancelled. Oh, wait. No, he has all sort of people supporting him still. Now we’ve been in places like this before, as the next article will point out. Hopefully he doesn’t go as far as wanting people to die. But I am getting more worried every day about this country.

Sadly, the media isn’t doing as well as it could be in covering the Trump disaster. For one, it keeps using the same group of morons who thought that all men try to rape people and that should make it okay. I’m serious about this. CNN could be burning more bridges than they could ever hope for as both sides will hate them for all sorts of different things that they do wrong.

Switching to actually talking about this show for a change, I should mention my thoughts on Henry Rindall, the father of Maia. I think that he is like Jack Sparrow. Only he’s not an anti-hero, but a villain. He’s on whatever side will help him and is only out for himself and whoever can best help him. Maybe he’s more like the reverse flash of the TV show The Flash. Whatever the reason, I look forward to seeing what all will happen with this show’s version of a Colin Sweeny type character.

Act one has Adrian at the law firm, looking around to see everyone gathered in one place. Their founding partner was giving a speech. He privately argues with Adrian and others in the firm notice it. Lucca and the Colin of this show talk on the phone about where to meet and continue their romance or, more accurately, fuck fest. Maia meets with Henry in a garage after they leave the firm. She doesn’t want there to be further communication between the two of them. The firm people then go to a place where a man has to be evicted.

Act two has Diane and Marissa meeting with a lawyer, Mr. Kovach, about a case that relates to sex in some way. He represents a man named Paul. Paul might be both a victim and perpetrator of rape. As usual, I don’t understand this case yet. I hope that I’ll understand it later. Colin and Lucca meet in an art gallery where Colin’s mother shows up. She seems even weirder than Peter Florrick’s mother is or how Diane acts when she is playing Leonard’s mother on The Big Bang Theory.

Diane talks to the pastor that might be a criminal who claims that while he did know Paul, he never raped him and only helped him get back on his feet. Adrian continues to butt heads with a man who I think is his boss.

Act three has the usual tense music as different things happen. It is tense music, right? That’s how I feel that I’m supposed to feel by the music. More issues or something of some sort or another happen. Diane and Maia talk to Mr. Kovach who mentions that he has a video of Jeremiah, the pastor, walking into the room for a long time. There is an hour of footage missing. Marissa sees on the footage that Paul is wearing a fit bit and the data of his fit bit with Jeremiah proves that sex never happened. But what did happen in the room? And why is footage missing?

Maia talks to Henry and signs point that Henry might be suicidal. He ignores a call from her. Where is this music coming from exactly? Is someone listening to it or is it something that only us are hearing? Henry has trouble grabbing the noose he wants to hang himself with and falls to the ground instead.

Act four has Maia and her girlfriend Amy (I think) arriving at his house and going to the barn where they find him on the ground. He thinks that his suicide attempt will get his bail revoked and put on suicide watch until the trial so Maia gets rid of the noose and the paramedics are told that he fell. Colin and Lucca continue to hand out with each other and I wonder if there should be a drinking game for every time they bring up Trump in some way.

What is this new event that they are at? This can’t still be the art gallery from earlier. What’s with all these weird characters? Do normal characters exist in shows? Lucca learns that Colin might be running for senate. State senate or US senate? There is no way that someone is beating Dick Durbin anytime soon. And I don’t think that Tammy Duckworth is going anywhere yet, but that is the more likely to change parties based on what normally happens with that seat.

Henry is at the hospital and more family drama happens. Maia reads her mother what would have been his suicide note and she gets emotional as a result. She still has issues with her Uncle Jack. I wouldn’t want issues with any of my family members. If they have issues with me, I’ll be there for them if they ever change their minds and want to talk to me. More strange moments happen with the Rindall family. Back with the case, Diane talks to Mr. Kovach about what had gone on, but he says it is not over due to a mark on Jeremiah’s penis that Paul would be able to identify.

Act five has the pastor, Jeremiah, refusing to disrobe since it is not something that he wants to do. People want to prove that he’s innocent. Marissa finds evidence and we learn that the route that was taken kept leading to Mr. Kovach’s office. Paul was the person that they tried to evict at the beginning. The route proves that Jeremiah was not likely to have done something. Colin talks to Lucca about his insane family. She wants to end their relationship. But did she? I don’t quite get all that.

Back at the firm, someone has left the firm and they might affect things. People vote and Barbara causes a tie. What will happen next? As usual, I don’t get things as this show is too confusing to me.

On the next episode of The Good Fight, it seems like Sue Sylvester is up to evil again. Maia is accused of knowing about the scam. A lot of funny things seem to happen. I guess we’ll see and not understand more in the next episode. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Something that a previous episode clearly alluded to was Law and Order: SVU and an episode of it that didn’t air as it was shelved. I’m wondering if I should try to find a synopsis of it online like I did with No Consequence Day, an episode of Powerless. I think that it might be nice, should I be able to find it. Meanwhile, I love SVU as it is often called as a TV show and recommend it. Just know that it is one of the most grim shows ever and often deals with terrible subject matter.

时代的另一个问题是在2014年4月16日的一期中谈到了特朗普的关税。 关税的影响在很多方面都有所体现，并有可能影响未来的选举，例如2018年的中期选举。 在一篇名为“中美之间的意志之战”的文章中，它提到“特朗普知道中国的经济很容易受到贸易行为的影响，因为它依赖于它比美国更多，”本期第22页。 但它警告说“特朗普在政治上更容易受到伤害......”他的举动是“伤害威斯康星州和爱荷华州的农民和企业主。”这是特朗普在2020年失败的关键原因吗？ 我想我们会看到会发生什么。

Switching to a completely different topic entirely, you might be wondering what the last episode made me think when they said, “for more of The Good Fight, go to CBS all access.” Well, they were clearly censoring something that they can’t show on the network TV version of what’s going on. It made me think of this video, the Harry Potter Ding Dong song. Enjoy all ten hours sometime if you want to.

For a businessman, Trump doesn’t seem to have as much business sense as you’d think a person should have. For one, the basic idea of paying bills comes to mind. After his self centered “greatness” celebration that happened to coincide with the death anniversaries of three US presidents, he, like many times before, didn’t pay the bill that he’s supposed to.

We all know that he has money from campaigning non-stop. Can’t he use some of that to pay who he needs to? I don’t think that it is a good idea for anyone to not pay bills like that and I’d have to imagine that if Hilary Clinton had done it, Trump would rightfully be criticizing her for not paying the money she’s supposed to be.

Switching topics yet again, the Youth Gathering is going on. I can watch live streams of this online. They first started in 2010, the live streams. (The gatherings go back much further, but I don’t know how far.) In 2013, the first year I couldn’t really go since I’m no longer part of the youth group of my church, I watched the live feeds of them online as they happened. I missed one of them due to seeing a movie with my mother and her parents as that’s when worked best.

Part of the gathering that year took place on the fourth of July. They did the Star-Spangled Banner that day. I do wonder why they didn’t do something like God Bless America which covers both God and country. They could have also done the Battle Hymn of the Republic or other songs that you might find in a hymnal.

The next gathering was in 2016. Two of the live streams aired against the Republican National Convention that year, forcing me, a political junkie, to pick between which of the two to watch. If I weren’t a Democrat, the choice might have been a bit harder to make. But I’d pick the live streams over either convention, to be honest. If this were to happen again, it would be in 2028 when I might have to choose between watching the feed or watching one of the conventions.

This year, I have two shows that I blog about airing at the same time as the feeds are up. If you read my Elementary blog, then you’d know that I already picked the show in order to blog about it later that day as I normally would over the feeds. I am going to make the same choice again today. It’s a shame, too, as I’m sure to get more out of this onetime event than a show I could watch later, but am choosing not to.

There is one last day of the live feed tomorrow morning starting at 9:30 so I recommend that everyone who reads this blog watch it if they can since they are certain to get better morals out that than this show ever could bring.

https://www.lcmsgathering.com/livestream/

Act one has Colin talking to Lucca, saying the false information the Elsa had fed this firm in question. There is then a dramatic walk that she goes on to Maia about. We see Mike talking with Spencer and a grand jury about what’s going on. Elsa tries to delete info from her Elsa device, but it doesn’t seem to happen when Mike takes it from her. They learn that Travis might not exist. Mike talks to Maia’s father. He wants to talk to her again. Maia goes over to her or her girlfriend’s place.

Amy and Maia say that they might have to move from their place, but this could be a lie of some sort. Rose Leslie is great at acting. They both turn off their recordings. He says that they are coming after her. He says that a grand jury will try to indict their firm and start in ten minutes by giving them subpoenas. Mike wants to destroy the firm and he only wants them indicted for now. At least two people are given them, Lucca being one of them. Are you allowed to decline them?

Act two has everyone talking about what’s going on at the firm with the other firm going after them. Elsa thinks that their clients could be scared off and the firm would go bankrupt as a result. She feels that Wilbur is the person who can close down the grand jury and is the best way to go on the case. Adrian talks in front of the jury about being an African American firm, as does Barbara, I think.

Marissa wants to learn Italian and come back as a shark in her next life. I think that ABC has a way of doing this. She gets served. Colin’s firm doesn’t like that they had brought race into the trial? Is that what it is? Mike gets served as well. He confronts the odd Elsa about this. She is just wonderful. I might like her more than Rose Leslie as an actress. Is she a starring member of the cast yet?

Act three Elsa talks to the investigator of the firm whose name I can’t remember as I’m not even sure that I know it offhand. The information relates to the Rindall case in question. Colin admits that he’s dating a lawyer at the firm to someone at his firm. He is defense at the case. Adrian is the plaintiff. After some discussion, Colin is not able to dismiss the case in question.

Lucca is brought in as second chair as Adrian takes the stand. On cross examination, there is some talking back and forth as the judge of this case, Judge Gallo, doesn’t like the fact that Mike, the defendant, didn’t show up to the trial. Meanwhile, at the grand jury trial, Marissa keeps bringing up race, much to the annoyance of Spencer. She then gets on her cell phone which shouldn’t be allowed at a courthouse.

Back at the civil case, a new person is on the stand. Elsa seems to think that he might be trying to steal clients or do something bad with them relating to the firm. Colin and Lucca talk after the case is on recess and make out. He admits that he was told to break up with her. But are they really dating? In my mind, since they only seem to have a sexual relationship, they aren’t doing anything that serious, non fuck buddies do. Back at the case, there are more issues and more people are served.

Act four has Mike talking with the two people who are on the stand at the same time for some reason. They talk to Diane, who has been absent from a lot of this episode, and Adrian over the case from the very first episode. The evidence might have been something she could get disbarred over. They bring up mirror puffery as a defense. What is that? I know the ad term puffery, but don’t think that’s the same thing.

Marissa learns that there is a photo tech id number that is important and relates to Diane in some way. Diane says that the lawyers were exaggerating to get people hired in the case. Mike is convinced that there is wrong doing and will bring in Henry, the father of Maia, in order to clear things up at the grand jury.

Act five has Diane talking to Adrian. She feels that she has to resign from the firm. He wants her to fight. Perhaps this will be a good fight? It would make sense since I didn’t know if this had a meaning before. Maia confronts Henry again. He explains some of why he has done what he’s done, in order to help himself. She threatens him with lack of not seeing any potential kids.

After some debate in the court, Elsa calls Henry to the stand. He admits that he was offered a lighter sentence in exchange for his testimony here. I have no idea what is going on with a lot of this Henry stuff and love that I’m not sure that I can tell who is on what side. Mike tells Elsa that it isn’t over after the backlash at the trial, even if it is implied that he might have been lying later to protect Diane. Lucca might have done something bad, at least to Colin, but he still comes to her place.

On the next episode of The Good Fight, Colin’s mom notices the new relationship, Maia continues to have issues with Henry as she stopped talking with him, there might be a power struggle of sorts at the firm, and who knows what else who didn’t already spend their money on seeing this. I’ll see what happens later. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.
