I wonder how many people who lost loved ones to COVID, voted for the idiot-elect?

He made such a huge mess of COVID—worldwide!
And now he sits waiting to implement more of his hate-filled, selfish madness.
My whole life I've watched as our country votes without remembering the past. But this is by far the worst.

God help us, everyone (that's a purposeful play on the Dickens story—because I've always believed the gop wanted to bring the world back to that era).

UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting.

It's amazing how much hate there was for that guy. My first reaction was that because he was being accused of insider trading, that someone involved in that crime had him taken out.

But as the day progressed, I was gobsmacked (always wanted to use that word), by the amount of hate and "oh well" our country had for him—as I sifted through social media posts.

Weird day.

trump has been looking terrible. Anyone think he won't be with us much longer, and the dimwit will take the reins?

I wonder how many MAGA nuts

are sleeping with loaded assault rifles tonight.
Their wives and children sleeping with one eye open because daddy seemed like a drunk freak tonight watching Fox News.

East coast dockworkers' strike: October surprise?

I certainly hope the strike, that is certainly going to affect everyone’s wallets and purses, won’t be “heroically” solved by trump.

I smell a GOP rat.

Yeah. Being paranoid. But the rich will do anything to keep us down.

The Exorcist 45

I know a lot of DU folks don't like TikTok

but my god!!!!! I have been in stitches seeing all the videos of worried and confused dogs and cats while hearing, “…they’re eating the dogs and cats..”

Not going to bode well for that bastard.

Don non sequitur. He's getting so bad.

Did you all see the vid of Vance in the donut shop yet?

Wow.
How awkward was that?

I didn't know that the conventions were at one time important to a party chosing a candidate. August 17, 1976.

President Ford hadn't yet announced his VP as the convention was about to begin, and the Reagan campaign tried to put forth a rule requiring candidates to announce their VP before the convention. Must have been a nail biter for conservatives.

It's a 4 hour video (I haven't watched it all yet), but interesting to see how important conventions were back then.
One thing I've noticed, is that I didn't hear the word "GOP" mentioned once. I wonder when that arrived in our media in daily use.
