What is it with right wing extremists and dogs? Are the Trump and Vance claims just more projection?

When I was a kid in the mid sixties, my working Mother would save a few dollars off her paycheck every week and she’d treat me and my kid sister to a trip to the Jersey shore. We’d go a bus in Philly and in less than three hours we’d arrive in Wildwood. One guest house where we stayed bragged that Woodrow Wilson slept there. I was back in Wildwood this weekend and looked up the place. It’s still standing but is now the towns Civic Center. Miss my Mom.
They're not running a campaign to get individual votes from Americans. They don't want you to vote and they'll suppress it any way they can. Republicans are perverting our elections. If the Democrats can overcome this treachery (House and Senate) they need to start playing hardball with how our elections are run. We need to begin seeing that Party that is fine with disenfranchising voters every step of the way. The Electoral College needs to go.

A great history-based look at the Electoral College by Dr. Richardson. It's important that we all understand what this means. Our elections have become instruments of giving more power to a candidate that isn't popularly elected. It's time for a change so that everyone's vote counts equally.

The young woman that spoke at the convention so eloquently about her abuse at the hands of her father was in attendance and her interaction with Harris provoked tears. A young woman from Apalachee High School who was shot in the arm just weeks ago was also there. Her story, told in partnership with her mother, was moving. A mother who lost her younger daughter to Georgia's strict abortion ban appeared with her other two daughters. Not a dry eye in the hall or with anyone with a heart.
I'm not a huge Oprah Winfrey fan but I watched last night's gathering on YouTube. Kamala Harris continues to grow as a candidate every time I see her. The production of this town hall was stunning.

Trump continues to attempt to undermine the very country he's asking voters to allow him to run. Such a dangerous, self-serving man. The Republican party has been put into a position to hate the very country they wish to govern.

Is this the worst House we've ever had? In our lifetimes, absolutely. How anyone can vote for this party again is beyond me.
"In lieu of consequential legislating, they passed bills such as the Refrigerator Freedom Act, the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act and the Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards (SUDS) Act."
Amazing article in today's WAPO:

In the future it will be important to remember who Liz Cheyney has been. Not surprised by this story.

We have lived through a lifetime of history in the past decade. Dr. Richardson suggests that we should be tired and I am.
I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing so many Americans so out of touch and willing to vote for a mad man. it's wearing me down.

I love Wanda Sykes. We all know what VP Harris didn't say, but still, she did kind of say it through a mind meld.

Flew in from that other place. Very Glad to be here, people are central to social media that works.
