Drinking Liberally Update (11/15/2024)

In Politics: Nationally: The Election is over and the wrong side won. I have nothing to contribute to the barrels of ink being used by Pundits to explain away the Democrat’s lose this cycle. For those interested, I refer you to the New York Times Opinion page where you can find any number of explanations, some of it even insightful.

My only thought is that, Trump, whatever he does, has always exceeded my worst expectations, exponentially. I am prepared for the worst, but expect it will be worse.

 In Politics: South Dakota: The South Dakota Democratic Party (SDDP) lost two or three Legislative seats (there is a recount for the second House seat in District 15). South Dakota has 105 Legislative seats and the Democrats will now hold eight or nine of them, down from the eleven they held in the last Legislature. The Democratic candidates for the US House and the PUC also lost by substantial margins.

Trust me, when I first heard the rumor I just laughed. Just on its face it is interesting because I’m not sure what record Soehl is running on. He has done very little on council except spend our money foolishly. Curt’s name was brought up lately for the mayor’s race. I guess he is in if Erickson doesn’t run. I have also heard she isn’t the top pick for Lt. Gov if Noem resigns. I found this out because my speculation on Huether’s run and possibly running Curt’s campaign. I will admit this mayoral race will be fun to watch.

Does Pinocchio have wooden balls?

As we know, Trump supporters are always trying to say DJT is NOT a racist. I know, laughable. But when you try to appoint people that are blatantly RACIST your true colors show;

The Fox News host who President-elect Donald Trump just announced would be his nominee for secretary of defense was not allowed to work security at President Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration, supposedly because of a tattoo that military higher-ups believed might have been an extremist symbol.

According to Pete Hegseth, the “Fox & Friends Weekend” host and potential future defense secretary, the tattoo was a large Jerusalem cross on his chest. The Jerusalem cross originated with the Christian Crusades nearly a millennium ago. These days, it can be a simple marker of Christian beliefs ? or, in some settings, a symbol for the conquest and domination of Muslims or non-white minorities.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s a racist.

Before the election and after the election I have told several people that even if Trump’s economic policies were solid, I still couldn’t support him because of his racism. I really believe that RACISM is true evil and it will ultimately destroy this country.

My latest conspiracy

All the talk lately about who may run for mayor and the possible appointment of Erickson had me thinking. Even though Huether has been out of office for 8 years, there is plenty of ‘bad press’ surrounding his previous term that is still fresh. I guess what I am trying to say it will be hard for him to defend his reputation.

So what is my conspiracy theory? I don’t think he is running, BUT, I think he has been mentoring a candidate and will likely run their campaign. If this person wins (I have NO guesses, but I’m sure it’s some stuffed shirt banker) this would set up an opportunity for Huether to be chief of staff (which basically means he would be running the city like the current COS does).

I base my theory on NO evidence, but a gut feeling about how he operates.

I will admit though, if he does run again, I would rather listen to him talk every night on TV instead the Orange Menace.
