Anyway last long course meet of the season. Summer swim continues though. I really wish the kid had better genes and strength to compete against all the other kids. While I am proud she shows up daily and puts the grind but gosh I also feel that feeling of not being in top 10 even after putting so much effort. On the plus side she is happy with where she is so that counts majorly!

I have to say republicans are absolute masters at media narratives. Make no mistake these bombings are simply to redirect attention from LA. Also has Google simply taken a big money dump? All I see are ads for how I should call my reps to force them to sign the Trump tax bill. NOT ONE Democratic ad saying the opposite – YouTube is littered with Republican ads telling us why his tax bill is such a great idea. There is nothing from other side. Nada. We truly are fucked.

At swim meet this morning a mom (mom of kids BFF and a liberal) goes “I gotta get gas this morning. He attacked Iran and I am like shit price of gas will go up and I gotta fill the tank to save some bucks” and she bolted. This is the problem with Americans – they literally cannot think beyond their noses for most part. That’s why I find a lot of these protests hollow. Because I also know people like her – who are otherwise excellent people and have great families. It’s just that their conveniences take precedence over anything and everything and that’s why we have Trump.

This Rishabh Pant comeback is for the ages. What a 100. I honestly thought his cricketing career was over after his horrific accident and he seemed like he could barely walk. What a comeback from that kind of injury back to the team and then doing it in style.

Last night A dreamt that she was picked up by ICE and threatened at gun point. The constant news cycle messes up with brains allright. Most white people will never get the concept of psychological safety and what it does to people of color, so I don’t blame them if they look at others and think why can’t they be like me 😆

I and my manager had a long conversation this morning where we both agreed that our mental health is basically shot at this point with all the things that are going at work and outside of work right now in the local area. As if the day to day political news doesn’t wreck us, things at work are largely no better either providing no mental safety of any kind. Every fucking day is a tornado!

I am sick and tired of I will work across the aisle candidates or I represent everyone if I win. No – I don’t want you to. I want you to represent me and when you win represent me. I don’t want you to work across the aisle I want you to throw mud across the aisle and kick them in their balls. Enough of being nice. You don’t deal with Nazis by offering your other cheek! Even Gamdhi knew his non violence movement would not have worked in Germany.

Ghazala / Jones both ahead in their races and hopefully win. I knew I was not gonna vote for Stoney the moment he got endorsements from McAuliffe, Pete and the establishment. Good to see actual good candidates ahead! Jones def won too close for ghazala.
