Hey Rick great article. Btw. “Gibberish”, not jibberish. Yeah I am spell checking :) it’s the English lit in me.

" I predict Trump will directly accuse VP Harris and the Biden administration of trying to have him killed." Seems he got Melania "click here to buy my book" to do that for him.

Great article; cringe picture.

Please don't turn her into a cartoon character. Our side is better than that. We don't need MAGA-style fantasies, when the reality of her is more than powerful enough. Leave MAGA to their pricey trading cards; the adults have serious work to do.

Please don’t do this. We look like hypocrites if we make fun of them for doing it.

I hope she wipes the stage with him. I can't wait to see this.

Good piece, Rick...thanks.

Folks, after reading Rick's piece, I recommend reading Tom Nichols' piece in todays The Atlantic Daily newsletter...

"What the First Debate Question for Trump Must Be"

The moderators ought to start with the fact that he rejects the foundations of the American system of government.

She is so damn smart, I do not believe she will fall into the policy trap. She will likley use this to make sure the voters who are not familiar with her get a good look at who she is.........all the while attacking and calling out the lies.....but like Rick said. Something like 'Ok, everything that guy just said is a Lie'

We shall see.

Honestly I believe he will get so frenzied he’ll show his true racism and the N word will come out. Whether we can hear it depends on how loud he gets but I would hope the mods would say what did you just call her or did you really call her the N word? The other thing is when he goes off on his batteries, sharks or whatever else stupid comes out Kamala should just laugh cause he hates being laughed at. Where’s the debate bingo card? Make sure you include a square for racist name calling.

Ok finished reading your masterpiece! No that’s not thinly disguised sarcasm! HOL Boy you really have a way of writing for those who come for the humor and stay for the insight! Although I had really really really already thought of some of those things you mentioned Kamala should do during the debate, reading it made me feel simultaneously smart and less than “god damn it, why can’t I write that good”.

I have so much anxiety, I feel like the lady who met her in Wisconsin spice store. 😕 I didn't watch the last debate because I had a sinking feeling. I may not watch this one either. The media, even if she wallops his ass, is going to give him kudos. I look back on history and this is not new. God help us and keep a steady hand on kamalas shoulder. 🙏

Sage advice but really I believe Kamala has this debate sewn up. 💙🌊🇺🇸
