Whew! Never expected France would give the U.S women trouble in Olympic basketball, but they sure did. They were tenacious on defense and rebounding and forced numerous American turnovers. We were fortunate to get that one-point victory, which enabled us to tie China for number of gold medals. Next stop, LA!

Iran, if you’re listening . . .

Looks like the U.S will get the most medals in the Olympics this year - and more than our winning number in Tokyo - but China, which lost to us by one gold in Tokyo will beat us in golds. Just too many events they’re good in while we underperformed. Most notably in swimming, track, and beach volleyball.

@grayman @LnzyHou Thank you!

Did anyone see Lawrence O’Donnell’s takedown of the press’s double standard when it comes to asking questions of Trump vs Biden/Harris? Can someone post that link? My iPad is not cooperating today. Thanks!

@Koore Very likely.

#politics. Harris should not agree to a debate with Trump hosted by Fox - which admitted in the lawsuit they lost that it isn’t a news network. Opinion/entertainment only. Okay, maybe the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens program would like to host a debate?

Thank you, Joe Biden. Thank you for putting a stop to Trump in 2020. Thank you for your leadership in getting important measures passed that stagnated for so long. Thank you for your international expertise in keeping our allies together and getting our political hostages back from Russia. And thank you for your wisdom and patriotism in ceding power to your second in command so we can prevent Trump from having a second go at disaster for the country!

@kob LOL,

@feloneouscat Well, it’s because the venue’s officials didn’t allow the thousands of Trump supporters waiting outside into the building, according to Trump. And not only that, Harris supporters were coerced to attend. Jeez, he’s got a lie for everything.

@LiberalLibrarian And all its cities are interchangeable, apparently.

@ProudCanadianAthiest Good for him! But now he’ll have to hire a security team because of the death threats that’ll come at him.

#politics We’ll see how Vance will try to wiggle out of a debate with Walz, so he won’t have to answer for the lies he’s told about him and his military service. Walz would destroy that so-called Marine.

Agree. And Smith as AG isn’t a far-fetched idea going forward. For sure, he’d have the motivation to see his hard work come to fruition finally.

@thedisasterautist Yup. Never should have been picked for AG. Not in his temperament. Always bending over backward to be fair, as judges - the good ones - are won’t to do.
