Michael Bennet is such a non-entity that despite going on CNN and saying he wanted Biden to step down, Senator Welch of VT is getting credit for being first. The party is showing it's *ss in multiple ways.

As for the George Clooney op-ed I lost respect for the man when he chose to work with Brad Pitt again. Pitt's children are dropping his name. It's all you need to know about his character, and Clooney chose to work with him. Sorry if I don't consider him as a source of good ideas.

JFC can't the Dems get it together & stop the chicken little bs! The time to oust Biden, withhold money, make the calls from the inside passed LAST YEAR! Now ballot dates have passed & the war chest accumulated. So buck up & get the same talking points Trump is also OLD & Project 2025 is bad.

God bless the creator of gabapentin! My poor fur baby has had a rough night, but a little medical help, and she's sleeping, through the worst of the fireworks after 2 hrs of shaking and crying, because some nitwit started setting off fireworks before the sun went down.

Try to imagine Trump & Biden standing on stage with someone named Count Binface, a ventriloquist, & The Monster Raving Loony party as legit candidates as the UK Prime Minister just did. How is the UK a serious country?

I kind of wish election night in the USA was like the UK where everyone had to stand on a stage while the numbers are read out. I mean could you imagine candidates here madly trying to do math in their head to figure out if they won while also pretending to be content with losing?

I miss my mastiffs, I do not miss the cost of their meds. I was paying close to $500 for Muggy's arthritis meds alone. So instead I got 2 dogs where everything is double.

Walking the dogs, neighbor stops & asks whom I'm voting for. I lie & go w/dunno, so he rolls out a bizarre conspiracy theory, heavily religious diatribe, how Trump=Satan, to test us, & he's part of billionaire cabal to kill all poor people w/Covid, so we have to vote for Biden. Whack, but sure.

Finally, run on Biden is old, and he knows that so he's surrounded himself with competent smart people. Get Kamala Harris on TV everywhere messaging her competence. Get Buttigieg & Newsome all over as they're good a messaging/communicating for the campaign. Stop the panic. Or it's just giving up.

Next debate prevent the purported Gish Gallop. Say Biden only shows is Trump agrees to live fact checking, if Trump says no, it's agreed Trump is lying, liar, who lies. If backs out or bails, call him a lying coward everywhere & in anyway because he can take a tiny push back 5/...

Then put on blast, Trump is also, checks notes, OLD! Point out his mistakes, verbal diarrhea, frailty & you're electing his VP or heir Don Jr, not Trump. You're voting for his surrogates: JD Vance, Boebert, MTG, etc. as much as Dems are voting for Biden's. Trump is old should be everywhere. 4/...

True. Worse even. She'll easily win, it's a safe GOP district. She had name recognition, so only a one on one race would someone have had a chance.

If the other 5 people in the race hadn't put their egos first & had dropped out to get behind one challenger, she might not have won. She hasn't cracked 50% of the vote.

We have a fox in the neighborhood that approaches dogs & my hounds were like 'let's play' & I'm like,'Let's not' as unlike the dogs, I'm not vaccinated against rabies. Also basset hounds are trip hazard.

Sorry to drop in a random conversation, but get thee to Wales. It's such a lovely country! I assume thanks to Wrexham more Americans are visiting, but when I went in the 90s it was like an undiscovered secret.

The giant breed rescue we got our mastiffs from now state you can't spay/neuter until the dog is 2 or x-rays show their growth plates are closed. Our first pair of mastiffs Muggy was spayed at 6 months, Beowulf was neutered at 2, he never developed the arthritis like she did. We think that's why.

Got dragged to the mall, tried on a dress, felt so fat & ugly I walked right out of the store & wanted to cry (that could just be the hormone swing this wk). Also, why are women's not designed for women with boobs?

The best explanation I read for the KP comms team, is it isn't really a comms team. It's 'yes men' that share what W & K allow. Whatever is going on with Kate, it's clear the BM has decided despite a quasi-gov. role (USA role = 2nd gentleman) she can dissappear w/o explanation.

How do make a non-paté food into a paté? My one can food eating cat will only eat paté & won't touch the sliced gravy stuff I accidentally bought. My other 2 cats won't eat wet food for squat, though my 16 yr old queen will eat deli sliced turkey if it's torn up & put on the floor, never on a plate.

Had a complete melt down on my hair stylist, not only am I hormonal, driving over my mother had one of her bs anecdotes about someone who managed college w/o student loans or cc debt, when she knows I'm in debt keeping a roof over her head! I can't work 2 jobs, garden & maintain HER house & not cry.

But it's an excuse to watch 1776 when John Adams is appalled by Jefferson & his wife having a sooner, so Franklin reminds him not everyone is a Puritan from Boston. Otherwise, I hate every neighbor setting off fireworks.

Apparently, people are moving out of Denver in droves, I'm skeptical. Reading all the reasons people were suggesting why they move, I call bs. Property taxes, unhoused people & crime. They'll find that everywhere. My brother, in a small,red state, town complains the same stuff there, too.

I go out to get the mail, note a plant needs water, so I go get the watering can, remember plants out back need water, so go out, realize I need to cut back foliage so I can use my a/c, get the clippers and decide a bunch of other stuff needs trimming. I now have a pile of branches & leaves.

The Olympics needs the lady from the Spelling Bee who bigs up the kids when they lose vs the NBC person who sticks a microphone in their face "how do you feel about having failed America?" I love this lady going 'you're amazing & wonderful & going to set the world on fire' when they lose.

There's only so many times one can see the guilty clicker fly through 34 times; so watching the Spelling Bee & its soothing to the soul seeing bright, happy kids, passionate about learning. Yet one was still proudest being able to belch the alphabet, because that's kids for you.
