1. Your mom rocks.

[underpants]

2. 👍 to that

[Lonestarblue]

3. My 90-year-old mom would have said the same in different words. She never, ever cursed.

Her lessons on cursing seem to have had little effect on me! Sorry Mom!

[LiberalArkie]

43. I would not want to bet on it though. As I was never one to have ever cursed in my life or used the "bad" words

I was known for that at work.
I was just a customer support tech. But I was responsible for the service to all the corp execs, all the special circuits on our campus, So many that AT&T had a colo in our switch room.

But: One day, one fateful day. On a day when the corp board of directors was having their big meeting. On a day when then President Clinton was visiting. A wireless tech decided to update one of the wireless switches. He had been stepping through and following the MOP until he flipped the page. And on the top of the page, in big letters was the statement "DO NOT PERFORM THIS MOP OUTSIDE MAINTENANCE WINDOW".

By the time he read this. the switches had rebooted. No cell service in the city.

Being an Aspie, I noticed my phone did not have cell service and several others did also. I looked at a cell guy sitting at a little roll around desk typing on a notebook. He looked at me. I looked at my cell phone. And then the longest tirade of curse words came out of my mouth. And they kept coming out, like they had been stored in my brain since childhood. His manager just walked in and saw me cursing and put 2 and 2 together. Then he started hollering that he would give us this but if even one little thing ever happens again he would fire all the departments on our floor.

So even a mild mannered quiet person sometimes curses.

4. Question - was this a re-introduction to Trump

She surely knows him since he was POTUS. Is this her basically checking back in? Is this her seeing this devolved version of Trump as he is now?

[underpants]

11. I was thinking it might be

I’ve said for a while here that people just tuning back are going to be astounded at what they see. He totally reflects spastic recent talking points and going back to old jokes everyone but MAGA has forgotten about.

[LAS14]

5. As for CNN giving air time.

1 - I don't want CNN deciding what I should and shouldn't hear.

2 - I expect CNN to fact check. Did they?

[krkaufman]

13. But ...

… is CNN providing equal-time coverage of Harris-Walz speeches/events?

[LAS14]

40. Probably. nt

[mucholderthandirt]

35. They've been fact checking, calling him out of the lies. Shocks the heck out of me.

My guess is the rich bastards that own the media have decided to let the world see this about Trump, because they know he's going to lose. They'll pull back with their Project 2025, rename it, but other people in charge, and wait to see how 2028 looks. I think it will be at least two election cycles before that pops up again.

[Linda ladeewolf]

44. They will never give up

Not until they wind up in prison, they have a start and unless we take it all back and tax the crap out of all billionaires and deport those who are not legal citizens and a few who are, but are traitors to the constitution, we will have to deal with it over and over again. I think perhaps we need to do what Germany did and make all Nazi and white supremists propaganda illegal in this country. I believe in free speech, but this is not free speech this is just dangerous, traitorous rhetoric. Designed to destroy this country and turn it into a 17th century feudal society with oligarchs at the head and the rest of us in servitude to them.

[magicarpet]

8. The emormous tax breaks for the rich are about to sundown.

Gotta get trDUMPie back in the White House to give them huge tax break ten more additional years on the calendar. trDUMPie will be sure that base is fully covered, Kamala likely won't

These television personalities rake in mega paychecks. These trDUMP tax break for the rich fatten their paychecks too. So news anchors want trDUMP back in the White House too.

[LoisB]

9. Your Mom is a smart lady.

[malaise]

10. Old, stale, tired

and mostly lies

[SharonClark]

12. My 93 year old mom has a STOP TRUMP

sticker on her side door window.. Last visit she told her doctor that trump is mean and hateful and her doctor agreed.

[Captain Zero]

18. My mom passed three years ago @93

But all during his term she kept saying she never saw such a mean acting man as president.

"He's mean" was her summary of him every time.

[TNNurse]

14. What a smart woman your mother is.

[Dem4life1970]

15. She is not wrong.

[dai13sy]

16. I want to hang with your Mom

She Rocks!!

[Linda ladeewolf]

45. Mmmmmm

Scones!

[Warpy]

17. The FEC needs to step in on this one

and make his campaign pay for the air time since all he's doing is making one of his old, tired speeches.

This isn't a press conference, it's one of his stupid pep rallies without an audience.

[doc03]

19. My mom died in 2012 at 93. She could not stand to look at him long before he

even thought about being president. She said his mouth looks like a bottom feeding fish, I think that describes him pretty well.
A bottom feeder.

[usonian]

20. My grandmother used to say something appropriate to this matter (In Italian)

Go shit in the dump.

He'd feel right at home there.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. Give your mom a hug from all of us at DU.

[FarPoint]

23. What other news networks gave "it" airtime?

I was watching " Lord of the Rings" The Power of the Rings on Prime...I want to review for upcoming season 2...

[Bundbuster]

24. My mom died in 2015 at age 103

She detested and was physically repulsed by everything about TSF since seeing his "rise" in 1980's New York. If she had not died a natural death then, I'm sure that his primary win months later would have killed her.

[Island Blue]

25. My parents are 86 (and both very Southern)

and they are vehemently anti-Trump. I won’t repeat some of the stuff that my mom has said. 🤣 Once upon a time they were Republicans , but switched parties when the religious right fully took over the party in the ‘80s.

[OAITW r.2.0]

26. Nothing wrong with her bullshit detector.

[CTyankee]

27. I'm 84 and I want to see him dead before I pass away. Is that a bad attitude?

I'm in pretty good shape for my age. He, OTOH, looks like shit. Or whale blubber.

[Cheezoholic]

28. I'm flying to Fl next week and my mom is picking me up at the airport (she insisted) in her 2022 turbocharged 260hp

manual 6 speed VW Jetta GLI. If you're near I4 E or I95 N of Daytona midday Wednesday stay outta the left lane. She thinks she's racing at the track when she's on the interstate lol. It's hilarious to be at a stop light with her and some youngster pulls up in a tuner revving his little tuner pipes and when she responds (she went to a shop and had her exhaust pipes modded and LED's put in the wheel wells) they look over and see this short little white haired old lady who proceeds to smoke their ass through the first 3 gears when the light turns green. Yeah, she actually did that with me in the car last year. Scared the shit out of me. lmao.

She was the first woman elected to any office (Clerk Treasurer) in my hometown. She's already making phone calls for the party. Something she's done since she was a teenager in the late 50's.

She's 82 years on this planet and still has the same fire she did working for JFK's campaign. God I love her

[3catwoman3]

32. Is she from Pasadena?

(couldn't resist)

[mucholderthandirt]

36. I'm in love with your mother, I now want to be her when I grow up. I'm 66, and Betty White is my hero.

[cilla4progress]

41. Cool!

[Devilsun]

29. My Mum is 92 and recently had a heart attack

She told the doctors and nurses at hospital she wasn't going to die because she had to vote for Kamala first.

[Phormio]

30. Phormio

My mom is 100 years old, WWII veteran (Army nurse). She has had dementia issues since her stroke in 2007. In 2016 when Trump was constantly on the news spewing his bs she looked at me and said “who is that guy? I don’t like him!”. I said “that’s Trump, he’s running for President.” She said “well, he looks like pissface to me!”. I’ve not heard a better description of him since. Although I kind of like “Felonious Punk”, with apologies to the great jazz pianist/composer T. Monk.

34. Welcome aboard!

Trump's hair, for sure, looks like cotton candy spun out of pee. Maybe your mom would enjoy that description.

[orleans]

39. seems you've been around awhile (2016); i'm glad you decided to post something.

hope to read more of what you write

[calimary]

42. Welcome to DU, Phormio!

Glad you’re weighing in!

[gopiscrap]

47. I agree

welcome to DU

[Skittles]

31. YOUR MUM IS MY KIND OF GAL

YES INDEED

[czarjak]

[Johnny2X2X]

37. If the Networks gave him 4 hours of free primetime airtime every night

Harris might win all 538 EVs. The more he talks, the better off we all are.

[nitpicked]

38. My mom sat out 2020

And probably would have done the same if COVID hadn't hit her.

For years, in response to the signs on lawns, I thought of a Yes!/No! sign ((if I can't convince my mother, just don't bother us)).'

((I already applied to vote absentee))

[geardaddy]

46. Sounds like my 93-year-old mom

She hates Drumpf
