It has been my practice, on the whole, not to post regarding political topics on the Sabbath and, so far as possible, to avoid political discussions on Sunday.
But there’s a presidential debate on Sunday night, and the breaking political news has been coming thick and fast. For a politics addict such as I, the past thirty-six hours have been absolutely fascinating.
If you don’t want to ruin your Sabbath with this kind of stuff, I understand. I’m going to try to keep my thoughts focused elsewhere, myself. But Saturday night, during the two intermissions of Utah Opera’s quite solid production of Carmen by Georges Bizet, I was completely riveted to my cell phone.
So here’s some stuff I’ve been watching:
“Republican Party Could Recover as Early as 2096, Experts Say”
CNN has been uncovering more examples of incredibly crude and misogynistic Trump talk.
And it goes on:
“All Events For Mike Pence Have Been Canceled According To Donald Trump’s Campaign Site”
“UH OH: CNN Reports Pence Is Considering Dropping Out”
“Utah GOP leaders in ‘full-scale revolt’ against Donald Trump after leaked video”
“16 Years Ago, William F. Buckley Wrote This About Donald Trump And It’s Eerily Accurate”
“Trump Tells Howard Stern It’s Okay To Call His Daughter A ‘Piece Of [%$#]'”
“Trump is a Creep, and the Republican Party Should Sack Him” (from a former Republican senator)
“RNC Attorneys Looking At Options For Replacing Trump”
“BREAKING. RNC To Stop Mentioning Donald Trump In Phone Call Scripts”
“The RNC Has Reportedly Closed The Door On Donald Trump, and Withdrawn Funding”
“If Trump DID Drop Out, Here’s The Constitutional Way The RNC Could Replace Him”
