the latest from Trump is that he has proposed a migrant league of UFC fighters

he described migrants in dehumanizing terms - saying they were "tough, come from prisons" and are "nasty, mean"

and he wants the 10 Commandments displayed in classrooms which was supported by Governor Landry of Louisiana

Trump called him "the greatest Mayor of Louisiana maybe ever" - of course Louisiana is a State not a City and Landry is not a Mayor

Trump was unbowed when the Supreme Court shot Landry and his plan for Louisiana down

on his Truth Social nonsense forum he posted - "I will add 10 fabulous new Commandments on day one of Trump two so help me God"

Trump really is a total effing whack job - out of his mind - it really is a pathetic thing that so many support this buffoon

Regardless of which side you hope wins, is there anyone on here happy with any of the two (or 3 if you count Kennedy) presidential candidates? HOW DID WE GET HERE?

We got here because these are the two candidates we chose. The Republicans chose Donny with all of his known flaws. The Democrats chose Joe with his flaws. Flaws are okay-nobody's perfect. Don't like Donny? The time to reject him was during the primaries, but the GOP primary electorate didn't. Don't like Joe? The time to have rejected him was during the primary, or in 2020. But, the Democrat electorate didn't.

I heard once that elections aren't a marriage, where you are waiting for "the one". They are like taking a bus. You vote for the candidate that takes you the closest you want to go.

Now what? (that's my official reaction)

Quote:
A growing cadre of GOP social conservatives as senior as House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator JD Vance say no-fault divorce has undermined family stability, and they attribute a litany of social ills to it. Vance told high schoolers in California in 2022 that “even violent” marriages should continue in some cases. Johnson and his spouse, meanwhile, are in a covenant marriage, a rare legal institution available in only three states that essentially waives no-fault divorce rights preemptively.

Ronald Reagan signed the first no-fault divorce law in the US as California’s governor in 1969, allowing one spouse to end a marriage unilaterally. Before then, anyone who wished to end a marriage needed to prove their partner had committed an offense like adultery, abandonment, or abuse. The criteria could be tough to meet — in some places, a woman could prove she had been beaten by her husband, for example, but be forced to stay married if the jury did not find he acted with “cruelty.”

The stats speak for themselves when it comes to women’s safety: Between 1976 and 1985, as no-fault divorce laws proliferated, domestic violence against both men and women fell 30%, while the number of women murdered by partners fell 10%. Research suggests that over an even longer term, suicide rates for women declined between 8 and 16%.

A whopping 81% of Americans say divorce is “morally acceptable,” according to Gallup, but they actually aren’t getting divorced that often: Divorce rates are near 40-year lows

I support someone's choice to live as a human "footstool" but it should be voluntary. And that seems to be a problem with the far right. They keep trying to force people into their particular brand of living instead of letting people choose.

I’ll be at the movies and catch the highlights later.

Can’t imagine wanting to watch these two geezers argue for an hour and a half.

If Donny brings up drug testing, I do hope Biden makes a joke about Donny having to have his parole officer do it for him.
