the reflecting pool is , of course, trump's bane .....

Nemesis, the goddess of retribution, observed Narcissus' callous disregard for those who loved him. To exact justice, she led him to a pool where he saw his own reflection. Unaware that it was merely an image, Narcissus fell deeply in love with it. Upon realizing the truth, he was consumed by despair, understanding that his love would never be reciprocated. This realization led him to take his own life, and legend has it that from the place of his death sprang the narcissus flower, a symbol of his self-obsession

who are our 2028 candidates so far

i know these guys have been denying this, but i think a few of them have decided.
whoever wins will have a hard job, so maybe we need to decide now to support whoever comes out on top.

1. kamala harris
2. gavin newsome
3. j b pritzger
4. andy bashear
5 AOC
6 pete buttigieg
7. mark kelly
8 chris murphy
9 sheldon wjitehouse
10. liz warren

am i missing anyone?

whoever wins, we'll need to immediately address

1. the war - we will be in a big one. the new president will need an immediate cease fire.
2. the debt - trump is killing gdp and burning money "like we've never seen before." debt may be several, or many times gdp.
3. the depression - with no jobs, no counter cyclical income programs, and no credit our people are going 3rd world homeless and hungry
4. the big scam. - the criminal gang currently robbing us must be punished and as many trillions as possible clawed back.

we really wanted to screw up the election.
