Dear BBQ readers,

Actually I rather like the fact that the BBQ website doesn’t normally get into politics much. But as many of us know, this election has caused us a lot of anxiety so it isn’t too surprising to see more BBQ politics.

What i will add to the political discussion on the BBQ just before the election are some links to information.

Personally i’m pretty liberal so you can figure out who I am voting for. I have respect for the republican party of old, but it seems obvious that the party has gone a bit haywire since Trump got involved. Maybe the republican party needs to take the next four years and rebuild their platform.

If you support trump, you might want to read the material linked to below. They all warn against electing Trump, but they are respectable journalistic or otherwise well researched material.

Two articles from the New York Times editorial staff. One about Trumps fitness for office, and one about what Trump’s associates have warned about Trump. These are not partisan, politically biased articles, but are objective. Well, objective as much as we can be in these weird times.

And a third link, just published, is an article that released the JD Vance’s dossier that the trump organization compiled for their private use. Vance was highly critical of Trump before he became Trump’s pick for VP. Many people now realize Vance is a rather weird person. Since Trump is old and may not last his full term if elected, his VP, Vance, is someone you really want to be familiar with before you vote him into office. Not to mention Vance and Walz will be debating in a few days.

“Read the JD Vance Dossier
We’re publishing the supposed Iran-hacked document. Here’s why.”

Note, the article contains a link to the full PDF report on Vance.
