    Ordered two bumper stickers from them last night and just mailed my first contribution. I’m 65 years old and this is without a doubt the most important election of my lifetime. Will be looking to do much more to dislodge Putin’s flabby puppet.

    Today’s fundraising email from Adam Schiff:

    When Barack Obama picked Joe Biden as VP in 2008, he hit a home run. Well, Joe Biden picking Kamala Harris is a grand slam.

    Lots of praise for Kamala, battle for the soul of our nation, then asks to contribution to be split 50/50.

    Biden Harris sounds like a good name for a 100 percent Ivy League white shoe law firm, which never take Trump as a client.

    Has Mike Pence ever in his life looked as happy as Kamala Harris looks most of the time? (The rest of the time Harris looks determined.)

    jl

    @Mary G: In countering Trump BS and gaslighting Harris can be a combination of pile driver, steam roller, and blast furnace, and implacable vice. When he gets in the mood Biden can do a lot of that too.

    So, at least will be some gratifying moments when those two go to work on Trumpster sneers and smears, lies, nonsense and generalized disinformation.

    @Emily68:

    I really like Harris.  I supported her in the primary, and when she dropped out I hoped she’d join Biden’s ticket.

    For some reason she reminds me of Pokey (Gumby, the animated clay character’s friend) but in a nice way.  It’ll be great to have someone competent, tough, smart and funny as VP.

    narya

    @Emily68: That’s one of the things I like about the whole ticket–they look genuinely happy, and likely have a genuine sense of humor. There’s just . . . JOY there, not smug satisfaction, not sneering contempt, but joy and determination.

    Second here from a fellow NC native.

    We’re going to get both bumper-stickers AND a yard-sign – the latter, however raises the practical matter that as was the case four years ago, if we leave them out overnight, local TrumpAssHoles will likely steal them and discard them.   An alternative notion I’ve mulled over, but not really come up with a practical solution to implement, is if there was some way I could embed an ink-filled membrane around the edges and supports of a yard sign that I would leave out at night, which would spill (not explode, just spill) loads of harmless but indelible ink that isn’t washable all over the perp’s hands and arms.  Something that they could only effectively rid themselves of by the natural process of skin wear and replacement.  I have locations in my yard where though what the sign is (Biden-Harris) would still be obvious at night, yet dark enough that the ink enhanced membrane wouldn’t be visible until too late until the perp has marked themselves.  What exactly could they complain / explain to police about, since they were trespassing to steal something?

    Joe had that famous line about Giuliani: Every sentence a noun, a verb, and 9/11.

    I hope Kamala finds an opportunity to allude to Joe’s joke somehow – maybe an observation like: With Trump, his speech patterns are so slurred and broken, we’re lucky if he even gets a noun and a verb in the same sentence.

    You know, I find myself shaking my damn head over some of my friends’ friends on FB – referring to Joe B as “the lesser evil”, and how they’re not going to sully themselves voting for “the lesser evil”. I just find myself thinking, “man, that’s a sign of someone who does not have enough ACTUAL PROBLEMS in their lives”.

    Does anyone have a link, btw, to that LGM meme with the vapid white kids lying in bed saying something like, “my vote is embued with the spirits of love, laughter and generosity – it can’t be given away to just anybody”? It just so perfectly embodies my scorn for that kind of thinking, and I always mean to capture it when I see it over there…

    Yes.  My bad.  Curtis Mayfield, indeed.

    No big deal. It’s funny. I had actually been listening to him performing the song the other day.  But the YouTube comments reminded me that the history of popular music is pretty deep. Lots of good artists to try to remember or to keep track of.

    Anyway, some good and inspiring speeches and great music. It’s been a good day.

    @RedDirtGirl:

    I haven’t seen the spawn of your friend in Falmouth since the fall but I do hear their news and they are doing so well.  A won an award at her graduation!  I’ve got some happy news coming next month involving my son’s SO.  He is coming up next week and I think they are going to get together- appropriately distanced and masked of course.

    @Mary G: “Sarah Cooper… is getting her first comedy special thanks to Netflix.”

    Been watching her other stuff after I started watching her political impressions. Besides her stand-up and her Trump,  I think she did Cuomo and some other politician. She’s hilarious.

    Only problem, which is becoming a big problem, is that whenever I watch Trump speak now, I see Cooper doing him. It’s even worse when I just hear Trump speaking, the image of Cooper impersonating him overwhelms my consciousness. I’ll either figure out a way to make that into a good thing, or slowly go mad. For some reason it’s very disturbing right now.

    @MomSense: That’s great! And although I didn’t see her mom, I actually managed to grab a swim with A in BH, at Lakewood Pond. I think she just got offered a great environmental organizing job

    @jl: Google up a Presidential photo of Warren Gamaliel Harding, subtract about 10 years in appearance** and 20 IQ points.***

    ** In fact Pence at 61 is >3 years older than Harding was when he died; blame a century of advances in cosmetology.

    *** Upon his demise, Harding was characterized by e. e. cummings as “the only man woman or child who wrote / a simple declarative sentence with seven grammatical / errors” … Yes, Virginia, Mikey Pence (during his time in Congress, the consensus Stupidest Member Of The House Of Representatives [SMOTHOR] even though Louie Gohmert was there!) is That Dense.

    @Elizabelle: …in Northern VA, not so far from the anonymous NFL team’s park…

    Not so close either. FedEx Field (often referred to as ExLax Field in deference to the quality of the resident team’s play) is actually in Prince Georges County,  Maryland, ~5 miles east of the DC line and roughly 10 miles on the far side of the Potomac from NoVA. (And. just FTR, <40 miles SW of the home field of a much better [in every way] NFL franchise. :^D

    @evodevo: I’m actually hoping for a stroke the day after the convention. There would be so much infighting between Pence, trying to invoke the 25th, Jarvanka, playing the princelings of the royal court, and quite a few other Goopers trying to redo the nomination.
