it, so I immediately went to a bookstore to verify. Sadly, it was the truth. dobson and his disgusting tax-free "focus on the family" (or, as we call it, "fungus", or "focus on fascism" ) carry far too much influence here in fundieville to this day.

Because he thought he could make it go away before the election. Hence all of the silver bullet cures that never worked. Ivermectin, bleach cleaning, etc.

Yes, they can eff off with the 4 years ago question.

16 days before the election and CNN is talking about Arnold Palmer’s anatomy? The media has been so slack in addressing trump’s bizarre behavior and now they see it happening more frequent that they can’t ignore it. Just think…….this week he’s swaying to music for 39 minutes, pacing the stage 20 minutes because of mic problems, cancelling interviews, swearing constantly and now this. If I wasn’t living this, I would not believe it was happening. This is how low we have sunk because of 10 years of this POS.

Jake Tapper allowed Mike Johnson to spout a list of lies and then the recording cuts off right as Mike Johnson starts to speak about the Trump Arnold Palmer fiasco. I'm not sure how the rest of the interview went but, quite frankly, it looks more like a promo piece for the Republicans than anything else.

It's very disappointing to me that Kamala HQ did not vet this better.

of lies with no contradiction. Even when Tapper went back to the question, he didn't overtly say that Trump isn't talking about policy and personality seems to be all he wants to focus on.

I'm not sure what Kamala HQ has to do with it--were they responsible for the placement of the cut off at the end?

As for Speaker thinks he is Moses Johnson (God tells him things) and his question about four years ago

Hey, I remember four years ago

I remember people dying and being stored in refrigerator cars because the morgues were full.

I remember Mr. Trump babbling about injecting disinfectants and telling us to try large animal de-wormer (ivermectin) against Covid. I remember people cheering our first responders and our doctors and nurses for risking their lives.

I remember Mr. Trump knew nothing about anything so nobody had enough protective gear. Nurses were using trashbags.

I remember tons of people lost their jobs and millions lost their lives.

I remember Mr. Trump slashed the budget of the CDC before Covid hit us. I remember Mr. Trump refusing to do proper tracking and tracing because he didn’t want his numbers to be “bad”.

I remember Mr. Trump preferred the counsel of our adversaries, like Mr. Putin, to the counsel of our intelligence community.

I remember Mr. Trump said he would get the U.S. to three percent growth. He never did it.

You know who did get the U.S. to three percent growth? Biden/Harris did, that’s who.

I remember Mr. Trump was clueless about everything except for lining his own pockets and causing others pain. He tried to steal everything, everywhere all at once. He still does. Mr. Trump is the very model of the modern globalist kleptocrat.

I remember Mr. Trump’s attempted coup. I remember his rioters killed Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick and drove other police officers to committing suicide. I remember his supporters pooped in our Capitol, smeared their feces on the walls and brandished confederate flags. Mr. Trump’s rioters bashed police with our flag and sprayed them with bear spray trying to kill VP Pence, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Romney and probably any other elected official they could find. Thank God they did not find any.

Are we better off than we were four years ago? You bet your bottom dollar we are.

After Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were inaugurated, Americans all over this country were able to sleep peacefully through the night.

Never go back!

that's pretty basic when someone has just said they can't find ANYONE who thinks they are better off now that 4 years ago. How's about millions of people who had loved ones they've lost, for starters.

I'm actually worse off financially, but that's got nothing to do with any politician. It's because the place where my husband worked got sold to a new owner that mismanaged it into the ground, causing it to be shut down, after sailing through the pandemic without missing a beat.

In every other way, I am MUCH better off, unless you count not being in constant fear for my own life and my husband's to be a step down, for some reason.

Just wanted to say that. Carry on, friends.

P.S. Harris-Walz ARE going to win!

...penis, Whatsa matter, Speaker Johnson, are you wishing your candidate had not discussed Arnold Palmer's johnson? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Where oh where are all the DU pun masters? Surely this juxtaposition of the Speaker's last name with this euphemism for penis is fertile ground for the punsters extraordinaire.
