Please 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?
