Desperation or delusion? New road sign in Central Virginia.
In the next county over from ours (Red Franklin County, VA) I saw a new sign on the side of the road: Country Over Party: Democrats for Trump. Other Republican candidates names also added to the sign.
🤣
As if.

Please tag your thread titles with party and state! Like: "Mark Warner (D-VA), ahead in polls"
We aren't all knowledgeable about each candidate in each race, and it gives the rest of us an idea what you're posting about.
I just counted 10 threads without identifying information.
Please? Thanks

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Accused conspirators charged in a plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also discussed "taking" Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, an FBI agent testified at a court hearing Tuesday.
During the hearing here in Grand Rapids to discuss the charges filed last week against members of a self-proclaimed militia accused of plotting to kidnap Michigans Democratic governor, FBI Special Agent Richard Trask revealed that months ago, some of the suspects met in Dublin, Ohio, where Northam, also a Democrat, was discussed as a potential target.
At this meeting, they discussed possible targets, taking a sitting governor, specifically issues with the governors of Michigan and Virginia, based upon the lockdown orders, Trask told the court, referring to state-mandated restrictions implemented to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
No one has been charged with plotting to kidnap Northam, but, like Whitmer, Virginias governor was the target of intense criticism from some conservatives over the summer. President Trump has sharply criticized both governors, tweeting all-caps demands that their states be liberated.

Wouldn't it be nice if, after a Biden/Harris win, we could have one whole day without Trump's name
appearing on any thread in General Discussion?

Trump's weight?
I read today that he's well over 300 pounds. Was this verified someplace on his medical records, and how was that leaked or viewed?
Thanks!
