This former diplomat was proposed to by a friend's father in Canada

so she could leave, because of Trump.



Every day I watch several of these RVAT videos, because they give me hope. Sometimes they piss me off for various reasons, but mostly they give me hope.

question.

i don't have cable tv or rabbit ears. everything i watch is on youtube or websites.

there's no way i would watch trump - i never actually do, but if i watch Biden's event tonight, will it show up in his ratings?

i would just love to wake up tomorrow and find out that Biden's ratings were like twice as much as trump's.

also angrier by the minute at NBC and Chuck Todd for doing this. it's immoral, unethical bullshit.

i'll miss my MSNBC lineup. Rachel, Nicolle, Ari, Chris, Lawrence, even morning Joe on most days. I like Brian too but he plays too many clips of trump. Actually grew tired of Joy but will probably be back, or would be if i didn't have to start boycotting MSNBC.

I've already voted, but I will tune in to Joe's event if it helps his ratings. just to fuck with trump.

So here's a little fantasy.

Biden wins BEFORE election day just based on numbers.

an old woman can dream.

The president is hoping that his return to the campaign trail will help him make up a steep polling deficit in the race’s final days, according to aides.

He’s behind in the polls because he is not holding enough rallies? And here I thought it was due to his failed leadership resulting in:
1) an out of control pandemic (100s of 1,000s dead)
2) a once thriving economy (thanks, Obama!) that is now tanking
3) his sponsoring unabated right-wing terrorism
4) his being impeached, caught withholding US aid to a country until that country’s leadership announced a phony investigation into Joe Biden
5) his peddling conspiracy theories, aligning with QAnon
6) his declaring he will refuse to accept election results not in his favor; he will not transfer power
7) his refusal to confront Putin and Russian leadership wrt their US soldier bounty program
8) his disparaging US soldiers, declaring those injured as being weak

I could go on but I think you get the gist.

okay so I heard several lies and now i'm muting pence,

but am i correct that Kamala is killing it?!
and she looks so good! so sanguine, assertive yet smiling radiantly, and telling the truth. the actual truth.

Multiple White House staff have tested positive for COVID-19 today

https://twitter.com/travisakers/status/1306257480796823553

The White House press pool was just informed, but Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is not releasing any further information.

This comes less than 24 hours after international leaders met with President Trump.

got my ballot today!

I'll be completing the ballot tomorrow, with my son as my witness, and dropping it off at the BoE Thursday morning.

It's only the 2nd time I've been in my car since mid-March. can hardly wait.
