Love it! And loved Will Rogers’ style. Fits perfectly today except he’s just about blocked every which way to kick him out! Fun writing, Ramona… thanks for sharing this again! 🧡🎃😍

This is right on time and I absolutely love it. I'm so tired of hearing about what Trump said or did throughout each and every day. I needed a break. I mailed in my ballot yesterday so I'm just ready to have this election done and over with so Trump can move to another country where he can be the King. This writing was so enjoyable and what a relief to frolic through each word and sentence without my adrenaline pumping in search of my escape. Thank you for this delicious break- so well done!

I needed a break, too. Feels good to find humor in something political.

But I woke up this morning firmly convinced Trump is going to lose. All signs point to it. Screw the polls!

I agree. I think there are a lot of people who say they're voting for Trump but behind the privacy curtain, it's another box they're filling in. They're finally embarrassed too.

I think the polls are skewed, as usual, which is why I put no stock in them. I look at other signs, like the numbers of early voters, the huge amounts of funding and support for the Democrats, and how women are reacting. All signs that Harris is far ahead of Trump. Getting out the vote is our top priority.

Sublime.

I guess the Trump fellow has to use humble words to make himself understandable to his voter base…

Great job, Ramona! I kept picturing Will Rogers saying your words! 💙

I wish he were here to do his own analyzing. I wish the same about Molly Ivins. We could use them right now!

And John Lewis and Barbara Jordan

Absolutely! But I put Molly Ivins in because she was a humorist like Will Rogers. Sorely missed.

Thanks for the humor, Ramona. It’s a much needed break. Hope you’re hanging in there too.

I’m feeling much better today. Today’s the day I’ve decided Trump can’t win.

Spot on, Ramona. Knowing what we know now (compared to 2015) takes a little of the shine off the humor, but it's still a breath of fresh air.

I think about Rogers' quote: "Things ain't what they used to be, and never were."

Thanks for sharing this again. I bet that little typewriter is something special!

It is! It’s at my grandson’s right now or I’d take a picture.

Loved it! Gosh I hope you're right - "All signs that Harris is far ahead of Trump." With all my heart actually. I don't know what to think. I want to believe "Trump can’t win" and am fearful that he will find a way to wiggle his way in. It's so important and so many folks seem to have been convinced otherwise.
