Helps out a lot around her and her elderly parents houses. He seems to hold a lot of what I assume are traditional Hispanic values especially around the household duties of men and women. If I disowned family members who disagreed with me politically, family gatherings would be boring. We don't discuss politics but some branches thrive on chaos My brother is a huge MAGA fan. Luckily, he lives in Pennsylvania and I live in Metro Detroit. I <think> he saw my Twitter page though, he hadn't talked to me in a while. Of course, we haven't discussed politics in years...

Yeah, nobody listened... My favorite was the Ecology Song. Or was it Mercy, Mercy, Me? ETA: And people did listen for a while, and passed legislation to help with clean air and water with good results. Unfortunately, people have either forgotten, or never knew about rivers catching fire, air quality alerts, and generally how dirty many of our cities were, and how important it is to keep the regulations to maintain our cleaner, healthier, environment. Even now it's unacceptable that we keep hearing about lead contaminated water in places-and yet it could get even worse.

When this happens I don't know, and will depend on what happens on Tuesday. I can only say it won't be easy, and all the junk 'news' out there might make it impossible. I hope not. I was reminiscing the other day about elections like 1976, when I was not going to be particularly unhappy in the morning whichever guy won. Good times..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead Trump was able to rehabilitate himself over the years while Dems avoided saying much about him and taking some mythical ‘high ground’. Obama on Trump: Who cannot understand how an NBA superstar can be both Greek and Black… Who spreads ridiculous fantasies that Haitians are eating people’s pets. Who just this past week arranged for one of his supporters to tell jokes about Black people eating watermelon and Puerto Rico being an island of garbage right there on stage at Madison Square Garden. Do you that is someone who will look out for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combination of Vance and Musk may be scarier than Trump. Then the possibility of throwing RFKjr into the mix.

Good times..... I used to love everything about elections-from watching the debates to watching the conventions, right up to watching the returns come in on Election Day. This was true even when the results were different from what I had hoped. Now I think I'll have to stay offline for the next few days, except for some things I absolutely have to do online. '76 was the first election I was allowed to stay up and watch-I was 9. I vaguely wanted Carter to win but felt like Ford was also fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he saying that the glass is protecting him, or that he wants people to shoot through it to get the press? I honestly can't tell. Good grief.

I understand what you are saying, but this is way more effective coming from Obama (who hasn't been in office since Jan 2017)... Biden tried variations of this when he was still in the race, but it didn't work because he's currently in office, and it comes across as defensive. Don't have that problem with O doing it.

Does he make a different appointment to the Fed than William Miller, one who starts the battle against inflation sooner? If he does he gets re-elected in 1980, no Ronald Reagan, and who knows where we all would be? And where does the right wing go if the Ford wing of the GOP keeps them shut out for another cycle or two? The stakes of an election may not seem high at all at the time, but you never know!

I wouldn’t rule out Reagan challenging Ford again in ‘80 especially if things stayed sour for Ford as they did Carter. “See, I told you so”. But who would the D’s have run? I’m not familiar with the bench at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
