Incredible. I cannot wait for his reign of ignorance to end. Absolutely anyone would be a vast improvement.

amyrs, it seems we are becoming a nation with no conscience. This aberration in the WH has brought out the very worst in the entire Republican party. I'm afraid that now the genie is out of the bottle, we'll never be able to get it back in. We were once a compassionate nation, but no more. Looking forward to tonight's debate and having the chance to hear all the front runners in the same debate. Will we have any stand outs?

But republicans;icans did not hear them Get out! You must have misunderstood. This is the Party Of God. The Bible thumping, Scripture quoting Party of Almighty God who said, "Suffer not the little children to come unto me." Then again, knowing these Evil and mean spirited ghouls, they could interpret that quote as, "Let them drop dead and they will be with me in Paradise." It's all about interpretation. Oh, and evil people who use the bible as a two edged sword and weapon of mass destruction. Imagine? They make me proud to be an Atheist. They also make me angry, disgusted, sick and tired of their hypocrisy. Hypocrisy = the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. Claiming.

Great debate! Democrats have some fantastic candidates. Castro is going on attack against Biden too much IMO, but otherwise I think they're all doing well thus far, but at 8:30 central time I would say Elizabeth is doing the best.

nashville11 , I do think EW would fare the best debating against Agent Orange. She is too far left for me personally, but of course I will vote for whoever gets the nomination. I thought they were dodgy on how they would get anything done with the Senate held by the opposition. For that reason, I am not really worried about an extreme progressive getting in. I don't think they would be able to get much done, but in the words of your not-so-favorite president, we'll see what happens. ABC fact checked the transcript immediately after the debate, and Joe did not contradict himself after all.

I thought it was a good night for the second tier candidates. Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker all helped themselves. Beto's coming for your guns exclamation, however well received by the audience, is political suicide. Castro's cheap (ageism) shot at Biden totally backfired. He only succeeded in making himself more unlikable and mean. And not-for-nothing, he was completely incorrect! A replayed tape of Biden's statements showed that Castro's accusation was false. As far as the top tier, I think EW will continue to go up in the polls. Bernie looked disheveled, sounded terrible and hasn't really said anything new since 2016. I'm also starting to think that Kamala Harris is looking more like VP material. And finally, there's Joe Biden. I love the guy but, he doesn't really inspire confidence. I wish he would slow down a bit and think about his answer before he speaks. His gaffs and constant corrections mid-sentence can be exasperating.
ETA: lani, you snuck in there on me lol but, hey....great minds....

Pam and Lani, great minds really must think alike as I agree with you both. lani, I laughed at your nickname of Agent Orange. How right on target! I also have grown tired of Bernie, and did not appreciate Castro's needlessly vindictive attacks on Biden. And yes, Biden needs to slow down and think through what he says. I did not like Yang's comment about going to his website and getting money. That sounded too much like something Agent Orange would try--buying votes. But all in all I was pleased that we have such good people in both the first and second tiers. Now we just have to pick the one who can win, because they would all be light years better than what we have.

On a lighter side, our hummers are still around, we added more sugar to their drink as recommend for the long trip ahead of them.
The males seem shyer then the females, going to miss them at our windows. Nice to wake up in the morning and see them at their feeders.

I didn't come up with Agent Orange but stole it from the GDT, who probably got it from somewhere else.
On the topic of birds, we have our annual quail visitation. Wiki says they are year round residents, but I only see them this time of year. I love how they post a look-out, their little top knots, everything about them.

Agent Orange! Love it!! Every time I put the tv on his stupid looking ugly mug is on with that mouth yak, yak, yapping away and still not saying a damn thing!
How much ugly can a person take before she snaps? I'd like to take that red neck tie and place it around his red neck and tug and tug and keep on tugging.

Anne, there are words to describe our disgust with Agent Orange. Kwim? Wink, wink. Lol.
I love the bird stories and sightings. Thanks for posting them. Made me smile. 😊 There's nothing like the sound of chirping and singing birds outside my windows.
I even like the "caw-caw" of Sheryl and Jim our resident crows. The gobble, gobble of the wild turkeys too.
Bird songs. Nothing like it. 🐦🦃🕊🐤

Same here with hummers. I know they won't be with us long but we sure appreciate having them for the months they're here. Didn't know that tip about giving them extra sugar for their migration coming up. Thanks, yogamama007. We have turkeys too. More bear sightings in our town than I remember in past years. I would love to see one at a safe distance. Michael Moore was on Real Time last night - he gave me hope that Bernie could get the nomination. Said he may be old, but he doesn't act old. Biden lost me when he talked about the radio and record players. I'm not happy with the hijinks he pulled in Ukraine for his son's benefit, or the fact that he's against the ACA paying for birth control. Michael Moore said Dems have to work hard to get out the 70% of the population who will vote Democrat: women, the young, and people of color. Bernie does well with all those groups. I'm very impressed with EW and Mayor Pete, too. Who would stand up best to Trump in debates when it's just the two of them? Interesting that the national debt is never mentioned. I know that was a lot of topics for one paragraph. LOL Glad you're all here and I apologize about being a very infrequent poster. We have our houseguests for the foreseeable future until air quality improves in Malaysia, and my dear hubbie has pneumonia. Tooooo many doctor's appointments but we are happy with all our wonderful providers. Today is our 51st anniversary and we're celebrating with cleaning out the fridge of all it's leftovers!
