My High School Buddy October 20, 2024 “I’m sure you’ve seen this,” I wrote a very smart, upstanding New Yorker I’ve known since high school: Trump Fixates on Arnold Palmer as ‘All Man’ in Showers During Profane Rally “I have,” he replied. “He is not my idea of a good candidate, but at least he is willing and able to speak off the cuff. Let me know when Vice President Harris speaks unscripted so I can react to it.” “Listen to her on Fox or Howard Stern,” I wrote back. “No Teleprompters. Yes, Trump’s comfortable saying anything off the cuff – “vermin,” “s–t Vice President,” “General Millie is an idiot,” etc. etc. But he killed the immigration bill that would have fixed the border problem. His Project 2025 is a fascist blueprint. His own vice president, his own chiefs of staff, and hundreds more of his own people are warning us urgently not to let him back in office. Has anything like that ever happened in American history? Or, really, in ANY country’s history?” So far, no reply. If we all do something, we’re gonna win — early signs are good. But beating a demagogue backed by billionaires and Putin (Russia goes all-out with covert disinformation aimed at Harris, Microsoft report says) — who murders journalists and opposition leaders and tens of thousands of Ukrainians to get his way — is no slam dunk. Seriously: do something. And yes, money can still be used effectively. Thank you!
