of going to prison, said political party; sad as it is, ought to at least have the opportunity to change course before the convention that locks it all in.
Their jumbotrons should all be tuned in to the event and news coverage, it will be very convenient for tens of millions of people to watch all at once.
Thanks for the thread Rhiannon

It is pretty remarkable that it's gone this far. Not all that long ago, many thought that W was the bottom of the barrel, and outside of the Iraq debacle, he looks almost quaint by comparison now.

(25,555 posts)I've been here almost since the beginning, though I had a different account then. I thought that nothing could ever make me feel like 2000, but 2004 was close, and then 2016 just blew it out of the water.
2020 was a relief, though only to a certain degree, because there's still so much to do. We need a repeat of that in November.

I had dental surgery that day, voted on my way home with my face still half numb. I fell asleep on the couch watching the returns and woke up at about 3am to see this creep on the TV with his entire extended family. I thought I must be having a bad dream - still do.
