Barack versus Mitt versus…Don?

Steamboat Landing in Washougal, Washington (2012)

A visual depiction of the crowded field early in an election year.

I so wish that Donald Trump was running.

Both Barack and Mitt, in their own ways, are stylish, good-looking gentlemen, and it would be so great to have Don as a counterbalance to that. Although I think he could achieve a decent degree of sartorial elegance if he coiffed his hair in a gold-tinged motorcycle bandana. Also, I imagine a universe where Mitt and Barack become friends and gang up on Don. Though I am thoroughly opposed to bullying in all scenarios except this one.

Go vote. Not for Don.

You have a fine imagination.

Laughing Out Loud Really Loud~~ "coiffed his hair in a gold-tinged motorcycle bandana" is as hilarious as a universe where Mitt and Barack become friends! LOVE the creative writing!

Great point with Lincoln and Douglas. Could M & B do that? My imagination has difficulty grappling with that...but I'd like to think it's not outside the realm of possibility...

The chances would be a little skinny. Maybe Obama and Christy could fit. They seem to have a certain respect for each other, at least for today.

Or is it Gov. Christie, that guy from the Garden State that doesn't seem to be a garden right now.

He should just change his name to Chris Chris.

So we watched. Watched him gasp. Watched him call out for his Mama. Watched him go limp. Watched the footage of courageous citizen journalists who dared and cared to keep recording and filming while four white men with guns enabled the murder of a black man, handcuffed, on the ground,

a knee on his legs,
a knee on his back,
a knee on his neck.

We watched as this happened.

Because I could not allow them to not. There may be all kinds of thoughts and ideas and perspectives on how old kids should be before having to deal with heavy stuff. I don’t pay too much attention to it. I’ve talked with our kids from the time they were in the womb, through infancy and toddlerhood and early childhood all the way up to the ages they’re at.
