the election is crazy in the USA

 my son is worried that no matter who wins, there will be violence. Given the horrid rhetoric by Trump against illegal migrant criminals, one does worry that vigilantes will start attacking anyone who is an immigrant: Both legal and the peaceful ones who fled to work at an honest job.

He lives in elderly housing gated community so he should be okay. But things tend to be getting crazy.

On the other hand, as the saying goes: Only Nixon can go to China, and that is why I suspect that Trumpie boy will deport high risk gangs but give an amnesty to those who find jobs and are not criminal (similar to the Reagan amnesty, which by the way is how my son's wife became a US citizen back then)...

Harris is blowing things by making this about Trumpieboy as Hitler: I mean he was president before, and didn't even take Hillary to court for her illegal email server or the Russia hoax.

She should be telling us how she plans to tackle the growing debt, put rules in place to screen migrants (not just criminals but for disease like TB) etc. 

Actually she lost my vote by saying that she not only will pass a federal law to legalize all abortions up to nine months, but will not allow exemptions for those who refuse to do abortions for religious reasons. Since one abortionist tried to fail me in medical school for refusing to do abortions, I take this personal. (by the way: The Civil Rights act of 1964 protected me. Presumably this law is still on the books).

And this law might force Catholic hospitals to close. Alas, too many nuns who run these hospitals are getting woke, so they would probably ignore the bishops and let abortions (and later euthanasia) be done.

You know, this is not just a right wing Christian issue: when I was in training and a hospital tried to force their residents to do abortions, the Muslim doctors refused, and when they were threatened with loss of their job,, all the other Muslim residents said: You fire them, we all leave. 

But seeing how easily my fellow medical students changed their mind when Roe was passed, I have no trust that the Christian docs would do the same, especially now that medical school is woke, and medicine pushes following guidelines if you want to work and get paid.

As for Trumpieboy: I had to laugh when I listened to this:

Trump as in charge of the X men team with Musk as Tony Stark?
