So tonight’s the final “Presidential” debate. I used quotes, because I suspect it’ll have far from a presidential air about it. And that’s because one of the participants is anything but presidential material. The most amusing quote I’ve read so far today comes from Trump shill Kellyanne Conway:
“If it were up to me this entire conversation would be about what I know the people would want it to be about, which is the issues….”
Well the only thing that’s stopping that, Kellyanne, is your boy. I’m sure Hillary would love to discuss the issues. I bet she’s even prepared to talk about the issues.
At least tonight marks the beginning of the end. I don’t know about you all, but I was sick and tired of this election months ago – and it’s only gotten worse. I’m really not looking forward to the riots and violence when Trump unleashes his basket of deplorable mouthbreathers when he refuses to concede the inevitable (and part of me is still terrified that something will happen to get Trump “elected”).
And if you thought the Republicans refused to let Obama get anything done the past eight years, just wait ’til you see what they do with Clinton. So if you happen to live where the Senate and/or House races are close, don’t forget to vote. Otherwise we could be down to about three Supreme Court justices in a few years.
Living in an overwhelmingly blue state (Clinton even leads easily here in the Great White North, which is not exactly known as a liberal oasis – though given that she won both her Senate races here, it’s not surprising), we haven’t been subjected to many national campaign ads. Both sides are putting in a lot of money on some Congressional races up here, though, and they’re extraordinarily annoying. I don’t watch much live teevee, but when I do, I keep my finger on the mute button.
It’ll be a relief when this is all over. November 8th can’t get here soon enough.

So, that’s over. If you watched last night, I admire your intenstinal fortitude. I couldn’t even stand to listen to clips of that idiot talking. I can barely read his words without puking.
Started to watch it and I just couldn’t look at that freek-show’s smirks and water drinking one more night. Mr. FK did the heavy lifting and filled me in afterwards. What did Trump think would happen? She is a tough litigator. Litigators are tough dawgs anyway, but when she was a litigator, she had to deal with even more ogre mysoginsts than women do today; the woman has brass ovaries. Nice to see a woman take that dolt down. Now hope the country gets rid of him for good.

Some day I’ll figure out how to get a gif from a page on to this blog. It’s only been how many years?
Twitter is tough, because with their animated gifs, you can’t just copy the image URL. It’s probably easier to just embed the tweet, which you can do by clicking the three-dot “more” symbol at the bottom right of the tweet and thenselecting “embed tweet” which will bring up a dialog box. Copy the code to embed the tweet, and then come back here and click the “source” button on the top left (this will allow you to paste the code in).
Kinda like this:
Thanks! The Trump gif was the one I wanted to embed! I thought it spoke volumes!
No more edit/delete op in 15 minutes?
No? Must’ve had an update break something. I’ll have to check it out.
Netflixers!
That looks great. And what a wonderful weekend we have here to watch it. Rainy, windy, high of 49 today.
Betty the Banana Slug – whoot!
I also noticed the edit delete was a missin’. I sure wish twitter had an edit feature.
