birdgal, I donated to a subset on ActBlue that specifically targets Senate seats that they consider most likely to swing Democratic. I gotta keep hope alive! I was just watching Blondie Press Secretary lying her ass off as usual, spinning what her lord and master said at his latest rally. Just for a little perspective: The U.S. currently has approx. 20% of the world's Covid cases AND deaths, and 4.25% of the world's population. Case closed

Lying is their language. It's the only language they speak.
Their 3 little monkey like supporters see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.
It's a match made in Hell.
I honestly believe these Trump supporters are as blind as those who poured poison down their babies throats because their cult leader, Jim Jones, told them to do it.
I really believe they'd do it. These are not Reagan or Bush Republicans. These people behave more like loyal and crazed cult members.
How can people be so stupid?

our country really is doomed if we have the orange greasepot as our president 4 more years. you know he'll do some other lying and cheating to try and upend the constitution and get perpetual presidential seat for the rest of his life, only to give it jared frat boy kushner upon his death. we're fucked. and people who support him can go fuck themselves. i'm so over their stupidity. it's like watching charlie manson be the president and they don't even see it.
i donated to actblue as well, and the death by tweet. i still plan to donate to vote vets.

I put a stamp on my absentee ballot Saturday September 19 so they would treat it as first class mail. and I tracked it to the city clerk. They got my ballot today Tuesday September 22. They give the correct ballots to each chief officer at each polling place Election Day. they open them and put them through the machine on Election Day. I did that August 11 at the polling place I worked at. It would be funny if I seem own ballot envelope when I work Election Day. Glad the ballot got there quickly.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
You can put a reality tv host in the WH but you can't make him a president. Or, a decent fellow.

I like that Cindy McCain endorsed Biden. I wonder how her daughter will react to it on The View. She (Meagan) is a staunch conservative, guns and anti-abortion her big issues.

Yes, it looks like hope is gone for the Supreme Court. But there may still be one small glimmer of hope. These senators that flipped have said they believe a nominee should be put forward. It still doesn't mean they need to vote to confirm. Maybe there is still some small hope that during the hearings the nominee will manage to turn off several of the GOP Senators. Sure, it's a small chance, but just maybe.

Also, the actual voting on the SCOTUS nominee may be delayed until after the election, but I'm not counting on it, for sure. I keep hearing that since the top candidates are already judges, the necessary vetting has been done.

all hope is not lost. i was happy to see mccain's widow endorse biden. i think the fact that many conservatives are endorsing biden is huge. also the fact that he's catholic gets a lot of catholic conservatives on his side. he is still very much a conservative himself in the global sense of the word. wouldn't have been my choice by a long shot but i think the extreme right we're dealing with now needs a ginger hand to slide it back, plus we are getting some good progressives where we need them. we just need biden's foot in the door. then we can move forward with actually helping the marginalized and start on a path to make the distribution of wealth more equitable.

The polls in Florida and Arizona are scaring me. If the presidential election goes south the Senate will be a must.

If people were stupid enough to vote for a tv game show host, a rich spoiled manbaby, for the president of the US, they should not be surprised that he's not very presidential! They should be glad because they wanted a change and they got it.
They should just be grateful that a seasoned politician, a First Lady, a Senator, and a brilliant woman did not get elected. Because, you know, she lies. Please raise your hand if you've never, ever told a lie.
I'll wait.
