Hopefully this is good news, even 43% is far too much though. BTW, I didn't realize Hillary did this well with seniors. Trump has such cognitive dissonance he doesn't seem to realize that he is also elderly. With any luck this is the kind of thing that will make people stay home. https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1316199771019849729?s=20

I'm really sorry to hear this. Sending good thoughts your way.

There are so many radicalized people out there. I just don't know how things are going to get back under control. It's really disturbing how many relatively normal people have turned to insane beliefs and actions thanks to Fox and the internet disinformation campaigns.

Yes, I'm in Nebraska and I can't stand Joni Ernst. I decided to make modest contributions to her, Kara Eastman (Don Bacon NE is awful) and Al Gross. I envy people who have real money at times like this.

Speaking of Act Blue can anyone tell me which races are competitive, so I can make some small donations? We have to repudiate these nuts completely.

Just when I think things can't get any crazier in this country "militias" get together and decide to kidnap the governor of Michigan with the intent of putting her on trial ISIS style. All because she wanted people to wear masks during a pandemic. 🙃

Here's some good news. Very relieved Harris will be protected.

^ Did my friend tell everyone who would listen that lung cancer is a hoax? Did she encourage other people to smoke because lung cancer is no big deal? Is she trying to take healthcare away from millions while engaging in a massive disinformation campaign about cancer and how to treat and prevent it? 🙄 What a ridiculous analogy.

^ Well, I am pretty pissed that these egomaniacal fools let it come to this. It's unreal.

I had the exact same thought! 😆 Hey, I admire the people who dislike him but truly don't wish harm on anyone. For my part, I was dancing in my kitchen last night.

Thank you Carl. I found that article really enlightening. I'm in a liberal bubble more than ever since the pandemic. I have noticed that there are far few Trump signs in Omaha this year. Maybe those people will just stay home. I think it also helps that Biden is Catholic and this is a very Catholic state. They may have felt the need to vote against some one like Bernie, but with Biden they'll sit it out. I hope anyway.

I think she is just a typical gold digger who was thrown in way past her depth. I agree with her on the Christmas stuff. I don't give a f*ck, especially given everything else 45 has done. I would say the same about any holiday decorations that people made such a big deal of (although her choices were strangely Gothic). After listening to the transcripts, I agree with her friend. She probably does care to some extent about the children, but she doesn't understand policy. She certainly doesn't understand the difference between Obama's boarder policy and Trump's. Hell, neither does a good chunk of the population that has a better grasp of English (I'm not insulting her. I don't know her native language either). She's as subject to the mass disinformation campaign and cult as all these other people who are going along with pure evil. Many of them are presumably much smarter and certainly better educated. Looking at Kellyanne and Kayleigh and all those generals, lawyers and members of congress specifically that have worked for/with Trump and enabled him. Also, I don't feel sorry for her. She could learn and do better if she chose to.

He didn't because he IS a white supremacist. That's one of the few things he's relatively honest about. He openly loves cruelty. I grant you it's astonishing in an American President. Has anyone American leader so openly hated most of their own people before? I can't think of anyone. "We" basically elected a sadist.

How the f*ck can anyone be undecided, I ask you? Seriously, what more could anyone possibly need to know?

I couldn't watch it. Everyone said Trump would go after Biden's children and given that he has lost two of them I just couldn't. Even though I wasn't exactly gung ho for Joe in the beginning, I'm thankful that he is taking on this burden (and what else can we call it at the age of 78) to help save our country.

I can't watch this debate live. Trump is a slime bucket and has no limits.

Thank you. I am definitely feeling the anxiety the closer we get to the election. I just have to stay off Twitter for a few months. It feeds my fear.

@DRW50 I find it terrifying. Then people say "well, the military won't allow it". Really? That's a pretty vague assurance. Who in the military will stop him and how? They might not physically fight for Trump, but they won't stop a bloodless coup. As far as I know there isn't even a process for them to do so. I may not like Ayn Rand, but she had a point when she said "It's not who will give me permission, it's who will stop me" (paraphrase") . I haven't seen a lot of people stopping Trump so far. I'd sure like to know what the plan is to stop him if there is one. I hope the people who matter have come up with one.
