Since CBS is the only live access I have on the internet (at least that I know of), I watched the last half hour of the circus called the Presidential Debates, then watched the news, then Stephen Colbert comes up next. I'd be curious to see a time of speaking stat because in the part of the debate I watched, the moderator allowed Trump to speak a lot more than Clinton. The recap commentators said Clinton had a lot more specifics in response to questions about her plans while Trump offered the same sound bites he's used since day one which, unfortunately, is enough for half the country who do not seem to realize they are not getting details from him. I wish there was an alternative to Clinton with a viable chance to win, but the elections are rigged to keep other candidates who will be on the ballot out of the debates and off tv so people can't learn about Stein or Johnson without spending a lot of time doing a lot of research and realistically, people are not going to do that.
So Trump offers the illusion of change and people buy it the way banks loan him money even after all of his bankrupcies and failed businesses. Clinton offers some of the same old crap that has given the country to an Oligarchy that created a constant need for war and bleeding the planet dry of resources. Trump is part of that Oligarchy. Clinton represents it in government. That's the choice, the wolf or the wolf's representative. Either way, it is a pretense of chance and the same old divisive hate-fed world.
CBS news seems very Clinton biased, though they are using some facts. He is repeating cliche sound bites, ignoring questions, and not offering any detail or answers. She is providing details which are the same old plans that created the mess we are in. They both say "trust me" and they both want what is best for the wealthy. The country deserves what they get, either way, because that is the choice the majority makes.
Meanwhile, I am hungry. My belly full but me hungry. Two kinds of squash, cucumber, about four ounces of cottage cheese, about four ounces of yogurt, about a tablespoon of raw potato starch, about a dozen baby carrots, an apple, and about a dozen almonds. The belly is stuffed. I still feel hungry. Probably a lack of salt and minerals in the new diet. Hopefully I will get used to it and not feel hungry after a while. I feel more bloated than I used to after pigging out at a buffet yet all I ate were veggies, a dozen almonds, and maybe 8 ounces of dairy. Maybe it's the tablespoon of raw potato starch. I didn't have my apply wine vinegar today yet.
Then, Colbert. He obviously finds a lot more material to mock in Trump and gives Hillary a free pass, but then, he is part of the wealthy class she and other politicians cater to. He is amusing at times and has the occasional zinger (Hillary was so prepared for the debate his new name for her is Preparation H, because, after all, she did cool the Bern) but he really doesn't address the serious issues in the government run by the small wealthy class the way he used to on the Colbert Report. That may be because the Democrats have been exposed as being as much at fault for that as the Republicans and it's not his job.
Earlier I returned to Monday night Softball and we won 14-11 after leading 13-3. They came back with 5 in the fifth and 3 in the sixth. We were home team and there were less than three minutes left when we got out of the top of the sixth. A home run, a single, and two outs later and three minutes went by. The other team was mouthing off about how we delayed the game in those three minutes but only one ball was taken by the four batters and three minutes would be exceptionally fast for a half inning (including them taking the field). Six innings in 60 minutes would be an average of five minutes each half inning. Sour grapes. Most of us ignored them. We won.
I went to the supermarket for food after the game so I could stop whining about being hungry and having no food in the house. I guess it only half worked. I don't want to spend money on shrimp and sushi and other more expensive foods while I have no income so I am without any comfort foods these days. You may have heard that a few hundred times already. It sucks.
I had a really unpleasant weekend, emotionally. I am much better now.
Nite nite.
