MarianJack's JournalPlease do NOT pay any attention to these F**king polls.
I will always believe that to some degree Hillary Clinton's "loss" in 2016 was due to just enough people in just enough places thinking that she had it in the bag and so decided that their vote simply wasn't needed.
I'm 65 years old and my first vote for president was in 1976 when I was 21. Ever since I was old enough to vote in 1973 the only year I didn't vote was in 1978 when I was going to grad school in Ohio and received my absentee ballot from Pennsylvania two days after the election.
As far as presidential elections go I've voted in some landslides, 10%+ margin (1980, 1984), some with comfortable margins of 4 to 9.9% (1988, 1992, 1996, 2004, 2008, 2012) and some close ones with under 4% margins (1976, 2000, 2016). The widest % margin in my life was LBJ's 61.1 vote in 1964. I would be fairly certain even LBJ would've said that he needed every single one of those votes.
We do NOT need a Democratic Tom Dewey in 2020 because Dolt45 desperately needs and deserves repudiation, and the only way that we can insure that it will happen is if WE get off of our crusty asses (and I have a BIG ass) and make it happen. This election will not be over until the votes are counted and, to paraphrase President Ford, our long national nightmare ends at Noon on 1/20/21.
My wife and I voted on 10/9. I'm taking our son up to cast his first vote tomorrow so we know that Biden/Harris will have at least 3 votes in Maine.
So, have you voted or do you have a plan to vote? If not, than please do. This election is just too damned important.
That's my 2 cents, and quite possibly over priced at that. Thank you for reading and please VOTE!

A question for my fellow cookie lovers.
The answer is NOT Mallomars.
One of my favorite cookies, which may no longer be being made, is a rectangular piece of devil's food cake with a very thin coat of marshmallow and a chocolate coating on the outside. It's one of my favorite cookies but I haven't had one since Christ was a child. I just thought of them a few days ago at the supermarket but couldn't find them. My wife couldn't remember either and when I asked the employees they looked at me as though I had three heads when I OBVIOUSLY have four!
If you remember what they're called I'd be grateful if you can remind me.
Thank you in advance.

I know in this forum that I'm preaching to the choir.
However, do the Trump worshipers SERIOUSLY see Dolt45 and his family and flunkies still coming into close contact with press and public as though it was just another day after being exposed to the Covid 19 virus yet still don't figure out that Donald Trump and his mob DO NOT give 3/10th of a rat's ass about them? they couldn't care less if their own supporters live or die. Reprehensible.
Of course, look at who I'm talking about. I don't think that any of us has even the remotest idea of anything that even resembles intelligence or thoughtfulness on the part of Donald Trump, his campaign & "administration" or the modern Republican party.
Just my 2 cents, nd quite possibly over priced at that.

Regarding Hope Hicks.
Didn't I read once that Dolt45 was banging her?

Once or twice tonight Joe Biden referred to Dolt45 as a clown.
He corrected himself immediately, but how many of you believe, as I do, that it was deliberate?

A fun question just for the S&Gs...favorite candy bar?
Mine would be close between mounds and dark chocolate Milky Way with Three Musketeers not far behind.
And yours?

May I point something out?
There are many people who are correctly concerned about Dolt45 and his unwillingness to leave office.
What I would like to say is that a presidential term ends at noon on January 20. The swearing in ceremony is a show for the supporters and the "news" media. At noon and one second The new president will be Joe Biden, who will have the power and authority to instruct the Secret Service to remove Donald Trump's crusty "239" pound ass to the curb. The Secret Service will obey President Biden's orders.
Given what I know of Biden's generosity, maybe he'll spot Trump cab fair to the train station, or for all we know, the police station for him to surrender with his three oldest idiot children.
After this 4 year nightmare with this monumentally horrible excuse for a human being in our White House, I can wait for the Inauguration.
That's my 2 cents and quite possibly overpriced at that. Thank you for reading.

I have a just for fun question for my fellow tennis fans,
Who do you thing may/will win the singles championships at the US Open?
At this midway point my picks would be Jennifer Brady for the women and Stefanos Tsitsipas for the men.
No need for you to explain because I ask the question for the sheer unvarnished hell of it.
I definitely think that we're seeing the torch being passed to the new generation of champions. Thanks for reading and for any comments.

So...Jerry Falwell Jr. liked to watch the pool boy bang his wife.
Republican/fundamentalist family values in action.
Wow.
