I don't need to hear anything he says. I can read body language.

put a large towel on half of my TV do not want to see that felon. Too tired of yelling at my TV, he's such a waste. !0 years of him is enough. Too much hate, and division. He needs to be locked up in a strait jacket.

Anything else to do and have the mute thingy handy. Maybe some popcorn.



We might need to wake up Jethro for this one.

No, at least I don't think so.

It's in reference to an old truck driver joke about... I don't remember how it starts but at some point there's a couple cousins taking a verbal driving test and a scenario is presented where there's fer sure gonna be a big ass wreck and when asked how he would respond the test taker says,

"man, I'd wake up Jethro!"

Examiner asks, "Why would you do that first?"

Test taker says, ""Cuz he ain't never seen a wreck like this one's gonna be!"

If they happen, they happen.

She's going up against a criminal and a liar so that's not really a debate; it's a showcase of bluster and lies on one side and policy and reason on the other.

Should I get ice cream? Reese's peanut butter cups? Oreos (traditional)? I can't do popcorn because they stopped selling the cheddar flavor for some reason.

My shopping carts are always super embarrassing. smh.

starting the 1st thread? I'm going to hear the pre debate rundown at Mary Trump Nerd Avengers on her You Tube site. But I'll be catching comments here too.

Have MSNBC on mute right now.

I bought an eighth of some really nice King Koopa, and a six pack of Pleasure Town IPA which I’ve already cracked number one.

I’ll be fine.
