Surprised to find this in my mailbox just now (and, yes, it's Sticker Mule):
Hi there,
Thanks for your email. We've unsubscribed you from our mailing list.
If there's anything else I can do to help, please feel free to let me know.
As if.
.
Well, you just never know until you know, y'know?
Got an email from a company I've done business with for a few years; they do bumper stickers, pins, T shirts, etc. Given the season I was expecting a promotional for campaign gear. Instead, it was a letter asking everyone to please tamp down the rhetoric. So far, so good. Then he asked that we at least stop the hate toward Trump and his supporters; he went on to explain that even though he supports Trump many of his employees support Biden, so it's possible to get along. Then he asked me to consider buying a Trump shirt to demonstrate a commitment to amity.
It took a few minutes for me to calm down enough to respond. Here's what he's finding in his inbox:
.
Biden is making it perfectly clear
that he's never had to pay people to attend his speeches.
.
Yes, I do find it a bit reassuring
to see live coverage of Biden's Detroit speech instead of an endless shot of an empty podium. Thanks MSNBC.
.
For those Democratic lawmakers who want Biden to step aside --
He should meet with them and say something like this:
I have spent my life in this party, on the Hill and in the White House, in service to this country. I have worked with good people who, like me, love this country; the list of accomplishments is long, and you and your constituents have benefited greatly. You’re fucking welcome.
Then he should walk out and shut the door.
.
On a side note,
be it known that I am not prone to violence. I don’t even like to watch anything that sells itself based on its violent content. That said, I admit that I wouldn't mind being in the room when someone finally slaps that putrid smirk off Mike Johnson’s face. Mea culpa.
.
Imagine if Stephanopoulos got a new show.
It could be called "No one expects the Stephanopoulos Interview" . . .
.
Stephanopoulos: Trump refused to be interviewed.
No shit, Sherlock, dictators don't interview, they dictate.
