I refrain from engaging in politics much these days, but that doesn’t mean I’m not observing the ever escalating bullshit emanating from the Democrat presidential wannabes. And now Joe Biden has entered the fray by recycling the whopper that Trump said some of the neo-Nazis at Charlottesville were “fine” people. Which as anyone with half a brain knows is a complete fabrication. As Althouse notes:

…
we were shown images from the Charlottesville march — replete with the “Jews will not replace us chant” and swastikas — and then Biden’s blandly earnest face asserted that Trump said some of them “are fine people.” But Trump did not say that! It’s absolutely established that Trump excluded those people explicitly before saying that there were some fine people on both sides of the question of keeping Confederate statues. (At the time of the fine people remark, Trump said, “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.”)

I can only hope the vast majority of Americans are tuned in enough to utterly reject this kind of bullshit. Well, I guess with the economy humming along, lies are all the Democrats have to run on.

Meanwhile, here in the real world (at least the one I live in) things continue pretty much as the always do.

Summer is upon us now so I find it best to be off the streets by 10:00 a.m. and pick up again after 3:00 p.m. Two shorter walks as opposed to one long hot one. We’ll see if I can maintain that kind of motivation.

I continue to self-medicate my bout of the blues.

Honestly speaking I’ve got no room to complain and what I do complain about are things pretty much within my control to change. Sometimes it’s just easier to go along to get along. And sometimes it isn’t. I’m kind of in a transition between the two at the moment I think. But rest assured a bad day here is better than a lot of the so-called good days I’ve lived in the past.

I’ve just got to stop giving people the power to hurt me. Heh, you’d think after 63 years on this planet I’d have figured that out by now.

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You’re faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life’s been way off line
You’re falling to pieces every time
And I don’t need no carryin’ on

‘Cause you had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
