Not the bibles, no.<\/p>\n
Last night my phone rang. I checked the ID. It read “SPAM-RISK.”<\/p>\n
Is it needless to tell you I didn’t pick up the call? Needless.<\/p>\n
Later, I was surprised to notice my little (red) message light blinking. What ilk of SPAM-RISK leaves a message? I would have thought the ID was sufficiently message-y. So I pressed the “listen to message” button and listened to the message.<\/p>\n
A pleasant, somewhat excited woman’s voice told me of huge breaking news, how someone maybe called Steve Gaines or something was ABOUT TO MAKE A KEY ENDORSEMENT OF…Donald Trump. And if I wanted to be “in on” this endorsement, all I had to do was press a couple of the number buttons and WOWEE! I too could hear the endorsement.<\/p>\n
I began chuckling almost immediately. After a while I figured maybe that important endorsement was coming from Steve Daines<\/em>, not “Gaines” — either of whom would be a resolutely unspectacular senator from one of those states I pay no attention to — without apologies.<\/p>\n How chaotic and disintegrating must the Trump campaign be to set up this robo-call self-identified as SPAM-RISK to a 212 phone number? I mean, Manhattan<\/em>, where in 2020 Trump won 14.5% of the vote against Biden’s 84.5%.<\/p>\n Doesn’t say much for fascists as campaign organizers, does it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not the bibles, no.
