Republican plant question .... Doesn't President Trump deserve some credit for the foreign ...

... successes?

Biden: "Very little." And then law school Professor Biden drops 4 minutes worth of spot on
knowledge on him. If you put a southern accent on him it was a Bill Clinton type of moment.

Trump is gonna be on NBC tonight. So what?

Every time bat crap crazy Trump is on TV or out in public it costs him votes and does
not gain he any more support. Trump will have his 25 to 30% base but his support is
eroding by the hour and the more people see what a train wreck he is the more support
he will lose.

By the way Trump will be so hopped up on God only knows what drugs he might have a real
melt down or suffer some kind of cardiac or cerebral accident on live TV.

I said that I was done doing election protection work..

.... but I just signed up again to work outside a polling place in central Ohio.

Please if there is a God send me some proud and or Boogaloo boys.

I have been doing this since 2004 and I know they really can't do shit outside of being arrested. Nobody can talk to a voter within 100 feet of the door and nobody can obstruct a voter outside the 100 foot line but hopefully it will all be over prior to election day. It will be tough but we are going to turn Ohio a nice shade of blue this year.

Btw I have 100 pound lab who is a sweetie but she is very protective of me too. I think she might be sitting with me.

For the 1st time in years I have felt @ peace

Trump has no money, he is bleeding support, even national Republican leaders such as Ed Rollins the chair of a pro tump PAC is saying, “the race is over,”* and he is dying too.

For the 1st time in years I have felt @ peace. This AM my granddaughter was laying on top of me watching Disney’s "Frozen" as my son was making coffee. We still have much work to do before, during and after the election but very soon Trump will be behind us and have to deal with our new A.G. Glenn Kirschner. We all need some normal. We all need some peace too. Blueberry pancakes and family are good things.

Trump Campaign Cancels Almost $7 Million Worth of TV Ads in 3 Midwest States

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-campaign-cancels-almost-7-million-worth-tv-ads-3-midwest-states-1537235

President Donald Trump's re-election campaign reportedly reduced spending on television advertisements in three midwestern swing states since the beginning of September, after canceling ads entirely in a handful of others.

The campaign relinquished advertising slots worth at least $2 million in Michigan and Wisconsin over the past month, and cut additional funding to broadcast advertisements in Minnesota by nearly $5 million, Buzzfeed News reported on Wednesday. Advertising Analytics, a media company that tracks ad spending, reportedly confirmed the latest budget numbers.

News of the Trump campaign's spending cuts in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota—all considered Democratic-leaning battleground states ahead of November's general election—followed reports published in early September that said the president's team was pulling ad funding across the board. A detailed New York Times report suggested heavy spending in certain areas during the earlier part of Trump’s campaign trail prompted officials to reallocate funds away from advertising ventures as early as July.

March 22, 2017 Joe Biden got to meet Joe Biden



Earlier today, former Vice President Joe Biden made an address outside the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the seventh anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. Among those present for the speech were House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senator Chuck Schumer, California Governor Jerry Brown, a crowd of viewers and a special guest—Biden the golden retriever.

The adorable four-month-old ball of fur was named after the former VP because his owner was such a fan, and he finally got to meet his namesake today after his address. Biden (the dog) and his owner Sydney arrived at the Capitol early this morning and waited for four hours before the politician made an appearance, according to Buzzfeed News.

"As soon as he saw the dog during the actual speech, he pointed at the dog, tapped his friend and then started like cracking up," Sydney told Buzzfeed. She said she signaled to him towards the end of his speech, and he came over after making his remarks.

"As soon as I told him his name was Biden, he started kissing the dog, which is like exactly what I expected Biden would do," she added. And that's when this happened:

"As soon as I told him, his face lit up," Sydney added. She was lucky enough to also get a selfie, squeezed between both Bidens.
