My gastro uses propofol. When they wake you up, you are wide awake. No stoned as balls over here, alas.

I really like him, but I think she'd do much better naming a younger VP. He is exceptionally qualified, but he's probably going to quell some of the enthusiasm young voters are showing for Harris.

Democrats have been concerned with his age, it was being taken seriously, hence the calls for him to pass the torch. I think his age was being taken seriously. While he was the presumptive nominee, he would have had my vote because I believe Trump should never ever be allowed to serve again. I've said I'd have voted for a dead frog before I'd vote for Trump and that wasn't a joke.

I don't think it's hypocrisy to support the candidate you have been given, until he isn't the candidate any longer.

I do see your point; I believe that it is the perception of many outside the Democrat party.

He was nominated by the Greenback party, (third party) running against the Democrat and Republican nominees. He had less than 1% chance to win according to his wiki. I'd say that no matter how fuzzy the definition of major party is, the Greenbacks weren't that.

He sounds like he was an intelligent person who was concerned with social justice, especially for the native tribes.

How about Trump is the oldest nominee of any major political party? Would that be accurate?

I think independents understand the great danger Trump poses and are going to hopefully vote for the person most likely to defeat him, and at this point that is Biden.

And yet, I and many others will vote for him. We cannot let Trump anywhere near the presidency. I honestly would vote for a dead frog over Trump. The staff that's in place is competent, have done well for us, and I believe they'll hold things together until Kamala takes over.

Of course we would all rather a much younger, charismatic candidate, but it is what it is.

At this point, I truly believe most Democratic voters understand the assignment.

Do it. You'd be amazed at how many people on the left have done so.

My husband and I did. We've trained extensively. I can guarantee you the other side knows how to use their weapons. It feels ridiculous, but I really think bad things are coming and we'd better be prepared.

I hope y'all laugh at me and call me ridiculous, but I'm truly concerned.

Well, King Trump I will just look at it anyway, and have Biden prosecuted anyway. It'll be HIS official act, and that will (forgive me) trump any of Biden's official acts. We all know the protection of immunity is for them, not us.

This SCOTUS is so corrupt.

The debt is taken from the inheritance/estate, right?

He probably wouldn't have a problem. Mary was 12-14 years old according to some sources and 15-16 in others when she was pregnant.

I am so sick of Republicans bowing down to Donald Trump. He is such a a vile man and yet they have done nothing but put him before the country.
