There Are Elections

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.  

I suppose I should trust that our most cherished institutions will hold.  

A Senior Judge in DC shut down the White House's attempt to intervene, reminding them that it's written in the Constitution that elections are run by the states.  

That judge, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, sits in an office on Constitution Avenue, a fact which made me smile as I addressed a postcard thanking her for doing just that.  

There are two women running for Governor of their states, and somehow their gender doesn't seem to be a core issue.  

That's another fact which makes me smile, and smiles have been in short supply recently.  

FFOTUS bragged about acing his MRI while the rest of us wonder what prompted the doctors to order it.  Apparently, death by drone is lawful even though the DOD lawyers didn't show up to the briefing to tell our representatives why.  A trans woman is the proud new madam of a brothel in Amsterdam and I have no idea how she showed up in my Substack feed.

And still, there are elections.  For today, at least, the center holds.
