Laughing. Just before your post arrived, Joyce Vance, I got a note from a (retired) friend who is not watching any TV today because she's so anxious. I was until I watched/heard the chickens. I think I'll play that on repeat all day AND tonight, if the orange menace (the kindest phrase I call him; others involve Yiddish my parents (z"l) said to never use in public) says too much, I'll just turn the chickens on. Thanks for doing this tonight.
I just want to hear what she has to say. I don't want to hear what he has to say. Can't we just overdub his voice with turkey gobble-gobble sounds?? I might enjoy it that way. lol
Totally concur!! We got home tired and forgot about Joyce's chat and just toggled between the SF Giants baseball game and whenever Kamala was speaking. I knew we would miss important and even funny spots but we could only handle about 3 Orange sound-bites per hour.
I was actually on the verge of being impressed by Kamala's opponent. It was as if, compared with his brutish behavior against Joe, Orange's handlers laced his pre-debate Big Mac with 'ludes. But all Kamala needed to top off her performance was permission to dance with castanets!
Caught where he cited Victor Orban as a job reference! That alone was worth the finger-stress.
Does anyone think Kamala was being sadistic by making fun of not just his crowd size, but the crowds streaming early for the exits?
And MSN is discussing Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala. Wish it was a joint announcement with the KC (Racist-Named) Football team. Well, from what I gather, if she has any voting-age fans, Taylor alone will turn the election for Kamala. If she can get the children to the polls, that is. Anyone out there have a clue on the child vote?
BEST OF ALL, during the debate, Amazon delivered our cc of 'Who Could Ever Love You' by somebody's niece with an axe to grind in the memory of her sad dad, persecuted by her evil uncle and grandfather.
There's a scene in some old movie of a damsel standing paralyzed in the stands watching her beloved in the arena fighting the villain to the death, and as I recall it I got so scared my parents had to turn off the tv. Sort of like that.
You are prophet. It was indeed ugly. Your boy looked and sounded like an angry and incoherent old man, someone totally detached from the truth...which, of course, he is.
And by the way:
That pesky inflation that was fueled by a global pandemic and a global supply chain crises--neither of which was caused by anything the Biden Administration did--has cooled dramatically. In fact, in response the Fed is expected to lower interest rates in the coming days.
According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, migrant encounters have fallen precipitously since President Biden's Executive Order this past June, an Order that become necessary after your boy killed the bipartisan Border Act of 2024 so that he could use the issue as a bludgeon in his quest to regain the Office he legitimately lost in 2020. You may have noticed him wearing that issue out last night.
And the international alliances that are so absolutely crucial to our ability to maintain a semblance of stability in the world have been resuscitated and strengthened by a seasoned statesman named Joe Biden. This, after the fiasco of the previous Administration. NATO is now alive and well.
You are so brainwashed. Trump wants to nuke Palestine, terminate the Constitution, and become a dictator like the heads of state in North Korea, Hungary, and Russia.
I don't know anything about chickens....but those feather babies sound very, VERY happy. They surely know they're safe and loved, and they definitely appreciate that tasty treat. It's such a good thing to spend your life protecting and caring for other lives.
Thanks....with Penzeys, popcorn, drinks and chocolate. Off to go make brownies before the debate. (Tip-Costco sells Ghiardelli brownie mix. Add in more chocolate chips. Unfortunately, it's not Celiac friendly.)
Everyone, please take a few seconds before the debate to send good wishes to E Jean Carroll tonight. It will be an extra traumatizing night for her. (1 too painful for her to watch.)
During winter, put the brownie mix in a pie crust. If you like peppermints, add crushed peppermint. No need for nuts/marshmallows with that combo. Then top with vanilla ice cream/custurd/gelato/sorbetto.
Never enough chocolate. Hence the extra chocolate chips in that 3x chocolate chip mix from Costco. One time I actually made it with too many chocolate chips. The mix didn't stay together. It tasted good.
All the punditry I’ve read today puts most of the weight/expectations on Harris, and everyone has a different idea about what she needs to do. Trump on the other hand only should try to “control himself.” Once again, no one is saying:
“Trump needs to appear coherent, make sense, and tell the truth. He needs to not look and act so old and so out of touch with reality.”
With this huge difference in expectations, Harris’s performance will have to be that much better than his just to be considered adequate. If it were a level playing field she should be able to eat a ham sandwich up there and still win the night.
And still this erosion of expectations for Trump goes largely unaddressed.
very much the "grade on a curve," "sane-washing," double standard. If I'm not careful I can slide into anxious despair. President Biden's grading was so much harsher, above-the-fold top-of-hour headline news. This man riding down the golden escalator in 2015 lives in a world where he is never ever held accountable. That's our assignment in November. We're the ones we've been waiting for, most definitely. Yes, there are other activities we can engage in to build the coalition. Ultimately, it's register, vote, defend the results.
Finally got my butt in gear and became a subscriber last evening. Joyce, your newsletter rocks! Keeps me updated, educated and inspired to be positive, albeit realistic in these strange times instead of an anxious mess! Looking forward to watching with you all, not usually my thing but here we go! I’m a Philadelphian , by the way so the energy here might just be bananas!
I don’t see “incoherent ramblings” on the bingo card. It may be unwinnable.
DEI and LGBTQ are also missing.
D (Don Jr,)
E (Eric)
I (Ivanka)
Oh I love that!!
Incoherent ramblings should've been the Free Space!
Haha. Love it.

The chickens made my day.
I love watching your chickens!

I don't know that I'd be able to tell the difference!

Feels so great to be in this together!
😂🤣😅😁😉🤪😜😛
I’m anxious too! I don’t think I can not watch but I will have no fingernails left by the end.
I love the chickens too. Have a stressful day and the calm me right down
Will be joining from the island of Gigha in Scotland, at 2am our time. Such dedication!
I appreciate you, Stephanie!

Ditto. Still haven’t decided but I should gird my loins and have faith in Kamala.
Why? Her goal is to say as little as possbile.
How is she going to defend crushing inflation, an open border, and feckless foreign
policy?
Or her previous positions? Defunding police & ICE, Green New Deal, Free sexual change surgeries for illegals, and on and on.
Its going to be ugly.....
Did you actually pay money to come in here to look ridiculous and repeat Russian Foreign Ministry propaganda?
That's remarkable.
Did you forget the “/s” or are you getting paid, Comrade?
Shaking my head. Waving buh bye 💙

Kamal is exposing clearly his nonsense & danger
Wha huh? I’m thinkin yer in the wrong place, dude. This is blue country! 👎🏻
Blue is true country!
Really James ! Hmmmm

FYI-I add a cup of mini marshmallows to Ghirardelli brownie mix and sometimes chopped pecans as well!
During winter, put the brownie mix in a pie crust. If you like peppermints, add crushed peppermint. No need for nuts/marshmallows with that combo. Then top with vanilla ice cream/custurd/gelato/sorbetto.
CHOCOLATE!!!
Never enough chocolate. Hence the extra chocolate chips in that 3x chocolate chip mix from Costco. One time I actually made it with too many chocolate chips. The mix didn't stay together. It tasted good.
The bingo card is a great idea. But I would add sharks and Hannibal Lecter!
Thank you for doing this. I’ll be there for sure. Much better than screaming at the television!
How do we not scream at the TV?
Where’s the popcorn recipe? I can’t find it!
I need the debate popcorn recipe please! 🍿
Same
Chickens eating a breakfast salad is just what I need for today, thanks!!

The chickens are having their own salad debate 😁!
Great to know we’re watching with like minds!
NOT calling djt “President”, but “Insurrectionist”/“Oath Breaker” from the start, 🙀
would have been a better start to this debate!
He sidestepped the deportation question.
Yup no answer on how he would deport "more" than 11 Million.
