I wouldn’t dare trust the mail with a ballot right now.

See, I would've said "vote on Nov 3", but so many outlets are available to vote before that I didn't want anyone to miss it, and especially not early.

Kevin B., - You bad boy! Just for that, you have to clean out Ben Grimm's sports equipment locker for a week! :) :) :)  COROLLARY: I wonder if Ben sweats.

If you ever wanted a text book definition of the word ‘CONTRAST’ this was your chance.

I watched Joe.  And I came away impressed.  His answered were detailed (sometimes too long) and informed.  He even had the audacity to ask the person asking the question if they were satisfied with his answer!!

He was a calming, steady presence and he seemed comfortable seeking a leadership role and he was confident, and hopeful.   

Was it perfect?  No.  But it was PRESIDENTIAL!  

Trump’s little show was the visual equivalent of watching Charles Manson dip puppies into a bucket of acid.  He was sweaty, agitated, combative wreck, perched at the edge of his seat and glowering.  He took the opportunity yet again to lie, confuse, and obfuscate.  He had the temerity to claim he “probably” owes 400 million to foreign interests...but it’s nothing compared to how much he’s worth!   Which begs the question “Then why are you carrying the debt!?”  

He really thinks he is the smartest guy in the room!  And if that room Is one of his rallies he probably is.

BIDEN/HARRIS 2020 💙 

What raises concerns is who that debt is owed to. Credible banks?

And then, as noted under other cover, he stuck around an extra half hour TO BE SURE THAT EVERYONE GOT TO SPEAK WITH HIM. He had to know that the broadcast time was up; but it didn't matter to him. He made EVERYONE feel special. He treated George Stephanopoulos (sic) - um, Smith? - with dignity and respect. Dignity and respect - his whole night was about that. He even spoke more about what he was going to do than about what Trump had done wrong. I was never more convinced that this was the right man than last night.

And one special moment upon which I never thought I would see the sun shine. Mr. Biden was talking about how important voting is, and he said to vote for him if they believed in his plan and agenda - and if they disagreed, he told them to go out and vote for Trump! I friggin' cheered at that! Someone presenting as more concerned with America's destiny than his own selection for president.

And Trump spoke on those ratings-mongers NBC.* Did I need to see it? Why? It's the same shit I've seen for four years and I was frustrated enough that he got his whiny forum. Shame on you, NBC. Shame.

*Because I like MSNBC, I switched them on after the town hall. Even THEY (Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell) seemed a little contemptuous of their own network.

If I had questions, they were answered last night. Now go out and vote. It MATTERS.

I'm in Illinois, I could sit it out as well, but I won't.  I want to say I helped vote the orange bastard out of office.
