One reason the wholesome Tim Walz jokes are so landing so well is that we need a huge dose of that good ol' Jimmy Stewart earnestness and goodheartedness after 9 years of being told that small, greedy, obviously unwell cheaters, bullies, and psychopaths are worthy of leadership.

It's hilarious that pompous buffoon Mike Johnson is trying to sell this jive while Trump is shitting his pants, in brown rivulets pooling around his golf shoes, at the thought of having to spend 90 minutes on a debate stage under Harris' withering gaze.

Excellent! Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young endorses #HarrisWalz2024. And I can tell you as a friend of the late David Crosby, Croz would have been jumping up and cheering watching the DNC and trying to write songs for Kamala.

Every author's dream is writing a book that touches some readers so deeply that they post "birthday" pics every year on the day it was published. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Kristen G. Callow, for being a great person, a brave mom, and the biggest fan of my book "NeuroTribes."

In fairness, I can see why Trump and RFK Jr. get along. I wonder if they bond talking about the good old days with the late, great Hannibal Lecter. [quote via Out5p0ken on Threads from www.sheknows.com/entertainmen...

If you wish they still made albums like they used to, they do. Gillian Welch and David Rawlings' new "Woodland Studios" is a humble, unaffected little masterpiece.

Whoops! Better trot out Ronny Jackson to dash off another note declaring Trump the healthiest alpha male who ever lived, before he collapses to the floor. [photo by Olivier Touron/AFP] HarrisWalz2024

The bottom line is, we've all been traumatized by the past nine years. It's been a scarring nightmare, like people experience in abusive families, more than we could even speak. Our nation has needed this healing. [📸 Demetrius Freeman]

It was really compassionate of Obama to explain to the DNC why Melania spent the past couple weeks recuperating from not attending the RNC in the company of a certain Olympic pole vaulter. Vive la France!
