Watch this if you want to see a bit of humanity. Ask yourself if Donald Trump could ever have a moment like this in his life.

Trump would have called that guys wife too if the guy came up with enough cash to make it worth it to him.

John Fetterman, Dem candidate for Senate in PA, just went to the hospital suffering from a stroke, mere days before his primary election.

Those could be some interesting negotiations/debates.

"World renowned heart surgeon" :lol:
He is a former cardiothoracic surgeon and a professor emeritus at Columbia.[8]

He has promoted pseudoscience, alternative medicine, faith healing, and paranormal beliefs[9][10][11] and has been criticized by physicians, government officials, and medical and popular publications, including in the British Medical Journal, Popular Science, and The New Yorker, for endorsing unproven products and non-scientific advice. The British Medical Journal published a study in 2014 that found more than half of the recommendations on medical talk series including The Dr. Oz Show either had no evidence or contradicted medical research.[12] In 2018, Donald Trump appointed him to the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.[13][14]

He’s a total asshole and a con man. He’s the perfect choice for the GOP.

Ezra Klein is a thoughtful progressive writer. I found this editorial interesting.

So now we'll drop all this "Hillary did it" stuff, right? I'm sure we'll never be hearing about that conspiracy theory again.

As a Suns fan for the last +35 years, I really like that idea of "every loss now just means a bigger win down the road." I can see why people fall for this bullshit.

Pretty pathetic that our rights are being torn away despite our having the House, Senate, and White House.

I used to sing “Proud to be an American” every once in awhile when appropriate and do a pretty decent job. Now I don’t sing it anymore and have ignored requests for it. I can’t in good conscience sing that now. I am definitely not proud of my country right now. I don’t know who we are anymore.

I don’t call myself a Democrat even though most people would assume I am based on my posts. I’m not a Democrat and I am definitely not a Republican. I am a moderate. The Dems to me don’t seem to have any good leaders. They have people who sort of have their hearts in the right place. They don’t have a clear plan and the only plans they had failed. I don’t know if the Dems are to blame for all the ills in the nation and world right now. They will get the blame at the ballot box and at this point in our democracy that could spell the end of our democracy.
