An unscripted and unrehearsed conversation, recorded at our dining room table on an iPhone.  Driftglass:  &quot;Tuesday night I was feeling a little doomed, and my wife asked me what was wrong and I told her that at that moment I was doing some serious thinking about what to do in 2024 if Trump won.  And that thinking about the unthinkable was depressing the hell out of me.So we talked about it.  And then she took out her phone and said that she bet that other people were feeling the same thing too but didn’t want to demoralize our side, and were maybe keeping it to themselves. And maybe we should just record our conversation, and that would be our podcast for this week.&quot;Our podcast YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@ProfessionalLeftSupport the show:PayPal |  https://paypal.me/proleftpodcastPatreon | <a href='https://paypal.me/proleftp

Hi it’s Fran AKA Blue Gal, just letting you know that this week, due to lots of things going on here at Casa DGBG, we will be doing ONE podcast only, on Wednesday October 18.  The episode should be posted by 7pm Central time.  I’ve got lots of doctor appointments this week for some reason and today Tuesday, our cat, Barack Hussein the Kenyan Usurper, goes to the vet for his annual checkup.  Barack Hussein is our Sumo wrestler cat he weighs over 15 pounds but the vet says he’s not overweight just built like a brick house.  In other family news, Junior Dude turns 25 on Saturday, and he’s coming home on Wednesday for a week, so my other two are also coming home for a couple of days and this empty nester will have all three adult kids in the house for one 24 hour period on Thursday.  I struggled with whether to podcast that day because telling my kids to be quiet we’re podcasting would make them feel right at home, but then I decided I would rather not do that.  So again, we’re doing on

It&apos;s our 750th episode!  We talk about the horror going on in Israel,  and respond to WaPo&apos;s very silly article about Illinois Gerrymandering.  This plus the news of the week!  Thanks for listening!

10-28-2022 | It&apos;s the 62nd trip around the Sun for Driftglass, while later in the week, Blue Gal celebrates her 18th blogiversary. Driftglass notes that for Michael Gerson and other never-Trumpers, &quot;The Road to Damascus&quot; ended ten years ago. Our election sanity-saving advice? Ignore the polls, get your social circle to vote, do what you can to canvass, and then watch Caddyshack.
