    A day at sea

    --and in the background on the TV is Morning Joe---a first for me.

    He just suggested a challenge---one I think well worth passing on. For the trumpers here----sit down in a quiet room and listen---actually listen to one of trump's rallies. Don't cheat and read the rino talking points----make up your own mind. trump talks about biden being unable to string two sentences together----trump seldom constructs one intelligible, grammatically correct sentence. I'm not sure two in a row is possible for trump.

    Both sides wonder how anyone can support the OTHER candidate after watching the edited sound bites on THEIR news /entertainment media..

    It is always beneficial to watch both candidates on friendly, hostile and neutral media.. then figure out what the truth really is..

    Foreign press can be good.. France 24 and AlJezera are not kowtowing to us right now and provide some interesting food for thought..

    Editorial comment.. We are presently between the devil and the deep blue sea..

    I don't understand how anyone could support either candidate if they actually listen to what they say. The same applies to the fringe candidates.

    I agree but I can do no better than try to defeat trump---and move on---maybe to the Supreme Court

    Joe--good post, and I share those sources as well

    I can tell when a buddy has been listening to a single source of information.. buddy will often refer to the “Biden supporters “.. I don’t know any “Biden supporters “, but I do know people who know that we will be forced to “settle “ for their least objectionable candidate.

    With a conservative SCOTUS and one or both houses of congress being GOP in November, Biden may be viewed by some as a balancing factor.. just a thought..

    To our members here who think voting for Biden is an answer to the problems in this country I would suggest they go to a quiet room and contemplate the daily destruction of American democracy
    OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

    And they should contemplate the possibility that someone who has promised, if elected, to be a dictator on day one. trump has done more to damage democracy than anyone else in the history of this country.
