Feeling it

I’m not certain if it’s the up and down weather or all the Epstein stuff that’s making me feel pretty lousy. I remember reading an article about Epstein during his first term. I was creeped out by what was reported then, although mostly I was perplexed that an Ohio billionaire would give some guy power of attorney over his assets. I’ve never been very trusting, so I’d need to really know someone well before doing that, and I’m not wealthy, and even then I might only do it while having a dangerous surgery.

I feel bad that I didn’t take the situation as seriously as I should. I certainly didn’t think much of all the right wingers railing about it, but, even with as little as we know now, it looks like they were right.

Yesterday afternoon I was in Northern Kentucky. During election season, I generally spot a monstrously large Thomas Massie sign in front of a house. When I lived in Kentucky, it always depressed me seeing that sign, knowing that it didn’t matter how many Ditch Mitch signs were in my liberal neighborhood, that it wasn’t going to happen that year. This time, when I spotted the sign, I started thinking that maybe the pundits are correct about the MAGA coalition splitting. It’s too soon to know for sure, but a good sign at the moment.

I’d like some other signs to come down.
