Not that it will affect the outcome up here

But the missus and I just cast two for Harris/Waltz and Mary Peltola.

Felt for the poor librarian, (that’s our polling place) who was frazzled by the sheer numbers that have done this since Monday when it began.

If enough of us vote we will win.

LOL have to share my foolish confoundment.

So sometime a couple of weeks ago I noticed that a fair number of the posts down thread were suddenly highlighted in yellow. “What now??” I thought, expecting an update notification with an explanation.

Fast forward to today when I realized I’d fumble fingered my way into grazing one of a few spaces on the toolbar, and yay, I can make the yellow go away.

What a maroon, sez I!

Photoshopped J. D. Vance images are now on CNN front page.

This is going to leave a mark.

He's not the president David

Stop calling him that.

This is really pissing me off

Every single time he calls him president trump.

For my Schadenfreude

I drop in to check on DJT at CNN business. Up until today they’ve rated it a “4” claiming it is expected to perform inline with the general direction of the overall stock market.

Someone over there finally grew a pair today and moved it down to a “3”, which is expected to underperform the market average.

Finally, some cracks in the wall.

Voted for Mary today.

Come on folks, this is an easy seat to keep.

Way too many posts complaining about JD 's "Jazz".

Be sure to not let the autofill go wild folks. Be sure to type jizz when you mean jizz.

I doubt the man can play a note on a banjo, let alone jazz.

LOL! GME is trading higher than DJT right now.

Diamond hands vs. tiny hands.

So I was watching Rachel's 8/6 show

Which was basically the entire rally in Philly where Kamala introduced/sang the praises of her vice presidential pick, and it struck me.

Kamala (and we by association) were blessed by one of the strongest stables for a vice presidential candidate pick for either side that I can remember, period. Buttigeig, Kelly, Shapiro, Beshear, my god, the beauty of it is that she gets to find use for these worthies in her administration when she takes office in January.

This could be the progressive victory that I’ve dreamt of since I was eighteen.
