I read it, and actually found it to be terrifying. The next step for these lonely, angry men is, of course, guns, which make them feel powerful.

First, polls are notoriously unreliable. Second, it's early days. Third, if Kamala gets out there more as 2nd in line, people who are capable of thinking beyond the next 5 minutes will realize it's an easy choice.

Agree that mental health should be a priority. Happy--or at least content-- people tend to be more ethical. Also the way we raise boys is actually going in the wrong direction right now, which is so discouraging. It's a complex problem & women simply need to keep fighting, as we've always done.

He actually can if the discussion would end and instead focus on beating Trump. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy if I ever saw one.

I know the feeling. I've been trying to get outside and really take in the experience. It can be pretty healing. The idea came from a great book by Dr. Rick Hanson called "Just One Thing."

It HAS been discussed, ad nauseum. And to the exclusion of the horrors of Trump. The reason I'm not freaking the F out is that Harris is his back-up.

That is another reason to support Biden, for those of us with a little foresight. If he does need to step down after getting re-elected, we get Harris. Voters need to see her a lot more.

You're 100% right on this. I was a prosecutor of DV and SA, and I remember thinking that I, as a Deputy DA, might not report. The court system re-victimizes, even w/ the presence of strong advocates. These crimes are under-reported, and women who are lying are incredibly rare + easy to spot.

I've been very pro-Biden since the debate, but I'm starting to come around to having Harris step in. She's the only logical choice, would be able to access the campaign funds for the ticket, is strong on abortion and the youth vote, and would kick 45's ass in a debate. Something to consider.

You are so right, Santa! I'll be giving my dog some Benadryl tonight and praying she doesn't shake w/ fear as has happened before. Meanwhile, in Napa CA they're doing a drone show, which sounds amazing (and quiet).

Agree! Here in Northern Cal, we're under a Red Flag warning (for fires), so a few shows have been cancelled. In Napa they're doing a drone show, which sounds awesome.

Everyone needs to calm the F down. Most likely this was a one-off due to cold meds. Also, if anything happens to Biden we get Harris, which would be awesome. www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/seco...

"How did we get here?" Meaning looking at the possibility of adjudicated rapist, serial liar, convicted felon and all-around monster from hell actually within sight of the WH? Why the F aren't you talking about that, NYT? You're an abject failure.

Child abuse. I remember the earlier case from the Pacific Northwest, and how expensive it was, as well as painful for the child.

I'll check that out. I also just posted an article from MedPage saying that Biden may have been taking cold medicine, which has side effects, and that he's totally fine.

If Trump had performed similarly, they'd all be rallying around him while lying about how great he did. Dems always blow it, and it's very frustrating. Good for you for speaking out!

I did not watch the debate--too stressful. So disappointed in the press this morning, but you're right, it's way too early to panic.

Trump always does badly in debates, fact-checked or not. Biden has more ammunition than ever this time with the legal losses (as was pointed out in the piece), and he seems to know how to stick it in with Trump's very fragile ego.

I think you're right about that, though the fake Christians would agree with my original point that Gd doesn't give a f*ck about women and girls.

What about fetal deaths caused by guns? Or not being vaccinated? Or pollution? Maybe God just doesn't like women.

Basically the only thing they have is hate, and as the saying goes, "the cruelty is the point." Yeah, I think we're good (in both senses of the word).
