"THEY'VE wanted a ballroom for 150 years"

THEY’VE who? Why does no one ever ask him who the fuck “they’ve” are?

Must be all those voices in his empty head.

What about the working class?

I am a lifelong Democrat and I love Kamala and Tim. I think they did a good job campaigning in such a short amount of time. The only criticism I have about Kamala's speeches is that she talked a lot about helping the middle class, but hardly ever mentioned the working class. Many people, myself included, have never felt like they have made it to the middle class, so I think that might have hurt her chances. Many working people aspire to reach the middle class and never really make it there.

I'm voting next week on my birthday!

Wednesday October 16 is the first day of early voting in Kansas. And it's my birthday! What a way to celebrate making it 73 years, so far! I get to help make history by voting for Kamala and Tim and every Dem on the ballot. I was afraid I wouldn't live long enough to help elect our first woman president, and here we are! We're not going back!

My FB response to a Democratic friend who wants to replace Biden with Howard Dean

This is way too important to get wrong. Our country (and the world) is experiencing a dire emergency. Trump is a monster who will end America as we know it. And Biden is not a doddering old fool. He has been a very effective president. I think that, along with being sick and probably on cold meds that can sometimes make you feel worse, President Biden was so gobsmacked by tRump's Gish Galloping barrage of blatant, easily disprovable lies that he was overwhelmed. My brain doesn't work as well when I'm sick. It's too late to change candidates now. I like Dean, and lots of other Democrats, but I'm sticking with Biden and Harris all the way.

I think the lack of a live audience and a teleprompter, along with being sick

all affected President Biden's performance. I think both candidates do better with an audience, but Trump is such an accomplished liar and bully that the lack of an audience didn't really faze him. I know that Biden usually does fine without a teleprompter, but he was feeling ill and being bombarded with lie after lie, faster than he could keep up. I know when I'm sick my brain is a bit fuzzy. Trump didn't need a teleprompter because he lies as easily as he breathes. I'm sure he was pumped up on Adderall or coke and the simple joy of being a bully. He was enjoying the hell out of himself. I'm sure his followers were thrilled by the whole thing, but no sane person is going to see Trump as anything but the lying bully he's always been.

I'm glad our President is feeling better today. Onward and upward! GOTV!

Well, we all knew it would end this way

There aren't even 17 honest, principled Republicans in the Senate. Looks like there are only seven. I'm sure the madman is grimacing with glee.

He just said "anominous" sources

Earlier he said that BLM protestors "ramshackled" the city. I'm pretty sure he was trying to say "ransacked".

What an idiot! How did he get through law school?

Trump is so clueless about the fact that Pence's role simply was a ceremonial one on Jan 6

that he believed, and made his supporters believe, that Pence had the power to overturn the electoral college votes. Why has no one this brought up? He played president for four (long) years, and didn't even know how the system works. Shouldn't a president know such a basic thing? Shouldn't people who run for office know basic civics?

I love how they are always saying that Democrats hate Trump

while never following that thought and asking why we might feel that way. We just hate him for no reason.
