Did Trump seem angry last week during the last debate?

I thought he was intense. There’s a difference.

Aren’t you a little intense? Doesn’t it bother you when you dread going to the grocery store because you need more money to buy the same things?

Doesn’t it irritate you that your town is starting to look like a Third World country?

Doesn’t it make you a little intense when so many undocumented people are getting medical care that you can’t afford?

Doesn’t it provoke you some that your grandchildren can’t play outside at night because America has become so unsafe?

Do you even feel safe for them to be out in the yard or down the street alone during the day?

Doesn’t it make you just a little uptight when you go to buy a car and know that if you can’t pay cash for it that you will make payments and big ones for a long time?

Doesn’t it make you a bit irritable that renting an apartment of any size is insanely expensive?

Does it bother you that buying a house might never be within your reach?

How do you feel about seeing your ability to financially enjoy retirement shrink more every day?

Does it bother you that babies are aborted in such late stages of pregnancy when there is no medical necessity or concern about the mother’s or baby’s health?

Doesn’t it concern you that our country is so involved in the Ukraine-Russia war and also the Israel-Hamas war? Could we end up in World War III?

Doesn’t it bother you that we are living in an era where we need police protection more than ever but some government leaders want to defund the police?

Doesn’t it tick you off a bit that you may never be able to retire? 

I think Trump has every reason to be a little high strung and intense. I suspect you have times when you are as well.

Now Kamala, nah, she’s got joy. None of this stuff is bothering her at all. She laughs, giggles and has some funky facial expressions going on. As millions of people have illegally crossed our border for almost four years, she and Joe Biden have let them have their way. Prices on everything have strained the American economy during her entire tenure. Her solution is that America is going to move on and she will give every hopeful home owner $25,000, and everyone will be filled with joy. 

Handing out big checks to Americans, businesses and even colleges and non-profits during COVID started this huge mess of people preferring to stay home instead of work. It also began this economy crisis our nation is suffering.

We can thank Kamala and Biden for this joy that she only wants to continue.

Which are you feeling today? Trump’s intensity or Kamala’s joy?
