I have been getting constant text messages, supposedly from Joe Biden, asking me to donate, make sure I vote, and even some that ask for a few bucks for a chance to possibly receive a personal call from him after the debate.  I’m not a Democrat, nor am I a Republican.  I would expect constant texts from someone like Donald Trump, based on his tweeting history, but not Biden.  I know most, if not all, of these messages are scams and include links, so I have them muted so they don’t actually interrupt my day (and night), but I do glance at them occasionally when catching up on my texts, just to get a laugh.

I don’t get ANY Trump texts, they’re all from Biden.  Now THERE’S some texts I’d be willing to read!  That sounds like a blast, based on some of that guy’s tweets!  I could learn more new words, like Covfefe, and learn how to really rant like a leader!  That Wikipedia page is hilarious, by the way.

With all those texts and the constant TV ads we’re forced to endure, we’ve been moving more and more to just letting YouTube TV record all of our shows and we watch them a day or more later, just so we can skip through the commercial breaks.  Now it seems like both campaigns make sure if one has an ad at any point in a program, the other ALSO places an ad in an adjacent timeslot, so they’re always both in the same commercial break, most of the time back-to-back.  It really drives us nuts trying to tolerate the lies and slanting of truths on both sides.  They can’t just say what they’ll do and be honest about it, they have to attack the other side.  And if they DON’T do that to defend themselves, they’ll be perceived as weak.  There’s no winner.  The only winning move is not to play.
