Week 20 of Q Life comes to an end today. So far, so good.
One of my favorite character actors, Wilford Brimley, has died at age 85. He was excellent in every movie I saw him in. He won me over with a brief appearance at the end of Absence of Malice, and his performance was one of the best things about The Natural, a movie I've seen at least six times. He played a lovable grandpa in Cocoon and a bad guy in The Firm. It seems like we're losing our best people at a faster rate than we're getting rid of the worst ones.
When I read about what's happening in the country now, it seems like there are many, many people working as hard as they can to find ways of dealing with problems that threaten us, both as individuals and collectively, as a nation. Meanwhile, the guy in the position we think of as the most important job in America? He spends his time tweeting, watching cable news shows, playing golf, and feeling sorry for himself.
My opinion: If Cheezy even drops a hint, maybe as a teaser, that he's thinking about refusing to debate, Biden should jump on it and cancel. I agree with Biden advisers who see more drawbacks than advantages to giving Cheezy the platform that he was handed against HRC. I already know that nothing I could see on a televised debate would change my mind about how I'll vote.
Much is being made on liberal websites about Cheezy's surrogates who appeared on Sunday morning news shows and refused to answer questions about using foreign assistance to defeat Biden or postponing the election. Since lying on network talk shows could never be perjury, surrogates like Meadows and Jason Miller could easily say "No, of course not" and move on.
They understand they can create panic among Biden supporters by simply ducking the questions and letting (D) imaginations run wild. That's been one of Cheezy's classic moves when he wants to stir up a shit storm.
Here's an excerpt from a report in the Washington Post re: what Cheezy's up to now:

Here's an excerpt from a report in the Washington Post re: what Cheezy's up to now:
"And as the campaign aims to mount a more aggressive defense of Trump’s handling of the (coronavirus) pandemic, the president has reverted to touting unproven miracle cures, attacking public health officials and undercutting his own government’s push to encourage good health practices."It's not clear to me how you "aggressively" defend Cheezy on handling COVID-19, since all the available evidence shows that COVID is handling HIM.
