KGB Story

This morning, I read through a piece which was uttered by a Harvard professor.  It doesn't mean much to me....it could have been a Tulsa cable-TV repair guy.

The guy got onto some rant or claim that Russian KGB guys (secret agents) were capable of wandering into Walter Reed hospital where Trump was this weekend.

That was the bulk of his rant.....he didn't say that the agent put Ex-Lax into Trump's soda, or they had a bug inserted in Trump's room, or that the agent pretended to be a secret agent of Nancy Pelosi.  

All of this....without any factual data.

It was the kind of statement that you'd hear at the general store in the 1960s, where some farmer discussed aliens having landed and taken over the country, or that secret agents from Cuba were running the Ford Motor Company.   Yeah.....nutcase chatter.

Why did they have to be Russian KGB guys?  Why couldn't they be PRC (Chinese) agents, or Ukrainian agents, or German BND agents, or perhaps even Iceland secret-police agents?

Maybe it's just me....but it seems like some of these PhD guys need a break from work....maybe a full-year sabbatical situation and get pushed into a cabin in the Idaho wilderness with pallet of Pabst Blue-Ribbon beer, a freezer of steaks, and maybe no connectivity to the rest of the world....to clear their head.

If you are going to make up a Russian KGB story....at least get some names in the mix, suggest they are connected in some way to CNN, and crank up some story about the Russian mafia buying up cattle-futures on the Chicago market system.

Observations

1. Trump roaring back after a brief stay in the hospital?

Yes, and it makes you wonder how other folks could be handled, and if doctors really have any idea on treatment.  Patients are going to arrive shortly and demand the 'Trump-treatment', and what will the doctor say?

2.  Did Joe Biden really say: "If a police officer “goes on a 911 call, it’s better if he or she has with them a psychologist or psychiatrist?”

Yes, Joe said it.  Maybe it's time that we make up some national number....like '666' and when you have troubles of a nutcase type....you just get some 'Doctor Marvin-type' guy who will spend thirty minutes of clinical time talking to you and convincing you of the wonderful world around you.  

Naturally, it'd be a AI-type system, and going to a database in China. 

3.  If you had three doors....one leading to a room with Covid-19, one leading to a room of six cobra snakes, and one leading to a pretty weak African guy with Ebola....which door would you open?  

4.  Did Joe Biden really say: “The reason I was able to stay home during the pandemic is because black women were able to keep the grocery shelves stocked?"

Yes, Joe said that.

Some black women would be laughing their ass off at the comment, but Joe was serious.  But to be honest here....I doubt if Joe has stepped into a Piggly Wiggly in forty-odd years.

5.  If there is no Russian conspiracy this time around....what will consume the Democratic Party passion for 2021 or 2022?

6.  In a real insurrection....generally, a fair number of people either die on the streets or just disappear, so I'm kinda wondering if the Antifa guys grasp this part of the deal?  Maybe Professor 'Doug' didn't mention that part of the story?

7.  If you measured empathy on a Antifa guy....one to ten....where do you think these guys would range?  Then you start to wonder....where exactly did they grow up as a kid, and are the parent figures basic failures in life?

8.  Barrett confirmation process?  

If any negative 'swing' is filtered into the system by the Democrats...it'll turn into immediate advertising by Trump.  At this stage of the campaign, for Biden's sake....they probably need to shut up and say nothing...voting by the last work-day of October.
