Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people.

He was the worst POTUS in history.
Impeached twice.
Convicted felon.
Tried to stage a coup.
Sold state secrets.

But hey …at least he isn’t an intelligent Black woman.

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

Just would like to point out that an incredibly "likable" woman ran this time, and it's still really close with that awful, unintelligent monster of a man.

It was never about Hillary's "likability." A lot of people just prefer hateful, ignorant men over smart women.

Dear Trump supporters, this is what you are teaching your children to think is presidential. 😳

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

Look, I agree that Joe Biden had a pretty rough night, anyone saying otherwise, isn’t being honest, and dishonesty is what they do, not us.

For the record, Trump was abysmal, unless of course, you’re scoring on the volume of lies told and the number of policy questions ignored.

I can recognize the reality of last night while also understanding that one debate does not a candidacy nor a presidency make, so here is what I’m going to focus on today, and every single fucking day from now until Election Day —

Donald Trump is a CONVICTED FELON, business fraud and adjudicated rapist who incited a deadly attack on our Capitol in an effort to subvert democracy and toss out the votes of more than 80 million Americans because he couldn’t handle the fact that we rejected him. He’s a sociopathic megalomaniac who has bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, mocked a disabled reporter, says immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of our country, and refers to his political adversaries as “vermin.”

He intentionally and perpetually divides human beings into factions based upon their differences and then pits them against each other because it is in that hate-filled space where he can grab on to the kind of unchecked power he knows deep down he could never actually earn on the basis of his personal merit, of which he has none.

He’s a sexist, racist, homophobic xenophobe who doesn’t give a flying fuck about anyone but himself.
He has no regard for humanity, no use for decency and he sure as shit has no allegiance to our democracy.
He has said he will be a “dictator on day one”, and he means it.
He’s not besties with murderous autocrats because they wear the same dress size.
He likes them because he wants to BE them. And if handed another four he WILL be them.
The rights he’s already stripped from us will look like child’s play compared to what he would take from us if given the chance.

And maybe Joe Biden wasn’t at the top of his game last night, maybe we had all hoped for a better performance, maybe he wasn’t perfect, but here’s the thing — he didn’t have to be.
One night is not reflective of his last four years and it is not indicative of his next four either.

Joe Biden has stewarded this country competently and safely. He’s gotten MASSIVELY good things done for us, and he wants to do more. He wants US to have more. More rights, more freedom, more personal power in shaping our collective reality.

And he is not interested in taking this democracy over the side of a cliff.
We’ve had 4 years of him keeping us on solid ground. And we’d get 4 more years of him making sure the foundation is sound, the cracks repaired. The immediate threat to democracy, vanquished, if only for now.

So that he can pass the torch that’s still lit to the next generation. And in that race, we can duke it out over who we think is best. The people decided on Joe, and they will choose someone new in ‘28.

But we gotta get to 2028 intact, or what we’re gonna get is “day one dictator” and an autocratic future of “Supreme Commander” Trumps in line of succession for generations.

So, I’m not going to focus on one night. Instead, I’m going to focus on recalling the constant chaos that was the four years under Trump. I’m going to focus on the competency of the last four under Biden, and I’m going to do everything in my fucking power to make sure that the madman who golfed while refrigerator trucks piled up with the bodies of our fellow citizens, called our fallen heroes of war “suckers” and “losers”, and sent a rabid mob to hang our lawmakers never gets anywhere near the White House ever again.

And I’m going to hit harder than I’ve ever hit in my life, because I made a promise to my kids in 2016 that I would fight to right to the wrong that was Donald Trump with every fiber of my being.

So that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Today, tomorrow and every single day that passes while I live and breathe, I’m going to fight to keep him from holding power ever again.

[The Seneca Project @senecaprojectus]

Never underestimate the resilience of the American spirit or Joe Biden.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. https://t.co/Tn2TQu5Djo

Serial cheater Marjorie Taylor Greene is walking around the Capitol calling her fellow party member Lauren Boebert a slut because she got caught jacking some dude’s beanstalk in a theatre full of kids, Sen. Markwayne MMA-Mullin is threatening witnesses with wheel kicks in committee rooms, and the recently shit-canned Speaker is kidney-punching one of the assholes who fired him and then getting chased around the building like he’s the Road Runner trying to evade Wile E. F’ng Coyote.

The Republican Party is using our tax dollars to turn Congress into the Jerry Springer show.
And frankly, it’s fucking embarrassing.

Hanako ("flower girl") was a remarkable koi fish that lived for 226 years.

In 1966, Professor Masayoshi Hiro from Nagoya Women’s University's Laboratory of Animal Science dedicated two months to meticulously ascertain Hanako's age. Like the method of counting rings in tree trunks to determine a tree's age, a fish's age is deduced by counting the rings on its scales.

These rings, discernible only under a microscope by an expert, reflect the seasonal variations experienced by the fish. A broader ring indicates the summer season, when a fish typically consumes more food and experiences accelerated growth. Conversely, a narrower ring suggests the winter months, marked by a slower metabolism in the fish.

Through this technique, Hanako was determined to have been born approximately in 1751 and lived until 1977. Remarkably, upon examination of the other koi fish sharing the same pond with Hanako, it was found that they too were all centenarians, with each surpassing 100 years of age.

For the first time in history, a Speaker of the House has taken a position that he will not support aid to Israel unless there are conditions. It represents the first time in history that a House Speaker has all but endorsed conditioning aid to Israel. This is a dangerous precedent that cannot be allowed to stand.

When I ran for Congress, I made it crystal clear that I would oppose anything other than unconditional aid to Israel��whether the attempts at conditioning come from the far left or from the far right.

The cheap cynical game that Speaker Johnson is playing sets a dangerous precedent for conditioning emergency aid. It represents a dangerous politicizing of Israel in a time of war. It represents a dangerous decision to pursue division over unity and politics over principle.

The House should vote on a clean bill, with no poison pills, that would send an overwhelmingly bipartisan message of unconditional unity around Israel. Our ally deserves nothing less in its moment of greatest need.

The Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas want nothing more than for the House to be dysfunctional, divided and distracted. Choosing gamesmanship over statesmanship, as Speaker Johnson has elected to do, will contribute to the further erosion of US-Israeli deterrence against common enemies.

What is the point of voting on a cynically conceived bill that is dead on arrival in the Senate and that would be vetoed by the most the pro-Israel wartime President in history—the ONLY President to travel to Israel in a time of war?

Speaker’s Johnson’s bill would have the real-world effect of not delivering aid to Israel immediately but of delaying it indefinitely. This, to me, is as shameful as it is senseless.
