I'm on vacation in Maine. In two days of cordial chatting with strangers, I have discovered several Ridin' with Biden folks. We don't start with politics, but with talking about seasonal staff (energetic and friendly immigrants), or National Parks (yes, thank you), or family sizes ("My grandmother had 22 kids!) and segue into the election and keeping Trump the hell away from Washington DC. Use a back door if you have to, but TALK!
To be clear, the poor Grandma was a brood mare and none too happy about it. Her granddaughter shared that info by explaining her license plate: "Dad and I." "He was the end of 22 kids and had a shit upbringing. We're pretty close." She's a heavy truck operator and trainer - a fabulous badass - and Dad is mighty proud of her.
yep. At this point probably Taylor Swift would poll better than Biden against trump. Showing you what the average polled-person thinks about what is needed in a president.
I agree Tom, with everything Lucian said. But, there's always a but, too many (a minority) Americans care nothing about the fate of Europeans. They don't understand there is a whole damned big world out there with 8 billion++ people who do matter and whose extinction will affect us. This comes when we focus on ME ME ME. Somehow, those of us who support Biden/Harris all the way need to find some way to rein in those blithering Diaper Democrats and get through to them This has nothing to do with age. It's DEMOCRACY that's at stake. Biden/Harris are the team that beat Trump in 2020. The Biden/Harris TEAM can and will win again in 2024 and put America back on track as a Representative Republic. No, Biden/Harris won't do a friggin' thing to protect those "poor long suffering wealthy oligarchs" (I'll try to summon up a smidgeon of grief for 'poor widdle Elon'). But they will continue to give America back to the 90% of us who have seen OUR tax dollars gushing up to support the wealthiest among us for the past 43 years.
This post from Lucian is powerful. I shared it and also yours to FB with my own urgent message to read and share widely. If I could get it up on Threads, I would.
Since President Biden's rally in Detroit on Thursday, I have been SOOOOOO relieved!!! I saw our beloved old Joe speak with intelligence, with force, and with humor -- and my heart sang (and is singing)!
TrumPutin has no intention of doing anything helpful on global warming. Project 2025 wants to repeal Biden’s climate programs. Eliminate National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) because its scientists are too gloomy.
For anyone who missed Biden's campaign speech in Detroit yesterday, here's the youtube link for the full speech. It's just under 36 minutes but well worth watching at this time when so much unfounded doubt about his capacities is being flung around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE7mDPX_jmk
I will point out that chump is still the existential danger he was a few days ago, albeit with a sore ear. He was on camera the minute he was hit. He is always image, there is no core to this cretin. Dems, stop with the overly apologetic tone. It’s the repubs who are the pro-violence and pro-gun nuts. You are not guilty of this travesty. The accusations are de rigueur for repubs. Accuse them of what you are guilty of. So I’m Sorry that it is their policies that have led to this, but call them out. Now, don’t wait for their narrative. They already blame you. Call them what they are…
It’s what keeps me awake at night. Ever since Helsinki, but even before, his Russian connections were obvious. He just can’t help blathering his admiration for the evil bastard who has become the world’s pariah (or piranha). Like two weeks in the WH and he invites Russians into the Oval Office, no secret, yet congressional Dems ignore the obvious. It’s just one more negative to them, atop a pile of negatives. But it’s the key one. Thank you for this.
Let me point out that it's
basically, in today's world,
a hop, skip and jump from
Russia to Alaska. AND Russia
has been defrosting the
tundra above Canada for
years now. Didn't Canada just
say, oops, we better kick in
a lot more to NATO then we
have been?
Putin, with Trump in DC,
could waltz right into our
country. He's been saying the
purchase of Alaska was
phony and he wants it back.
Sound a little familiar?
Damn right the democratic
party better quit helping
Trump and Purin do their dirty
work.
Victoria-I very much liiked your post about Putin wanting Alaska back. May I quote you?
Kamala Harris gave a rocking good speech today to applause at an AAPI conference in Philly. Biden-Harris in 2024, Harris in 2028!
Thanks Tom for sharing this post! It is very important.

YES it’s time to stop making Putin and Trump happy— Joe’s our guy and if the worst happens Kamala will be there!

We have to be united in our fight for Democracy. That is it period. If you want any push to do so, just imagine Putin's smirking face.
I shared your post and Facebook took it down!!
Amen!
