Loved the melted signs. and yes,, all those signs lined up do look like a graveyard with tombstones.
and of course, he only worries about himself. He doesn't give a flying fig about anyone else. I'm in the middle of Mary Trump's book now, and oh my,,, you can really see how he got this way. And his bad behavior was encouraged or at least, not discouraged by his father. And all the siblings tried to make Dad happy, which was impossible. It was quite a dysfunctional family.
And yes, I read somewhere, that if you get Covid despite always wearing a mask, you could quite possibly have a milder case because you didn't have a full-on exposure. Yet another reason to wear a mask. Must go to post office today, but I'll be there at 9 when they open. Hope to get in and out fast. Must mail nephew's birthday present, and hope to get more post card stamps for the "vote by mail" postcards that the Blue Wave Coalition is sending out.
Also want to see about a flu shot. After post office, I'll run into Publix and see if my new insurance covers it or not. (thank you Obamacare,, or I would be SOL)

Glennie, we got our senior flu-shot a couple weeks ago... We have United Health Care, through AARP, Medicare complete and it doesn't cost anything, nor do we pay monthly dues. We have had this Insurance since we were 65 I think. We get all of our shots at Safeway, just because they have a little room, right off of the pharmacy. Also the shingles, tetanus, & pneumonia shots.
Hoping the virus shots will be okay, and out soon, after a trial period. Saw China is talking about them... Hope Trump will listen, and maybe back them, or learn how to protect HIS country.

I just finished reading Mary Trump’s book. It was an interesting take on how Trump’s mental and emotional status developed. I listened to him this morning state that Biden is using performance enhancing drugs to get thru the day. How can the leader of the free world say that about his opponent? It just takes my breath away! Then there is the crazy rant Caputo (the assis. Sec. for HHS) did on Facebook. He basically said that the CDC is full of “deep state” people willing to have Americans die so Biden can be elected. This whole process has become so very polluted and mangled. I am concerned that no matter how this election ends, there will be a military element getting involved. Militias more than any federal police or armies. I may have to quarantine for safety this time rather than illness!

The Founders of The Environmental Movement Have a Message: Don't Vote For The Green Party
Sam Stein Politics Editor. Sep. 14, 2020
A group of some of the most revered and longest-active environmentalists issued a dire warning to the next generation of activists on Monday: Don't vote for the Green Party this year. And don't sit out the election either.The warning, coming in the form of a letter signed by more than 170 top environmental leaders, is an explicit recognition that third-party voting—including from within their own community—has tipped presidential elections in the past. It's also a plea to those who remain on the fence about Joe Biden, or who believe that they should cast a protest vote for someone else, that the stakes are simply too high.
"Sure, he (Biden) isn't perfect. Which of us is?" the letter reads. "But in the 2020 election, the most crucial since 1864, we have only two meaningful options: We can make a lifetime humanitarian our president, backed by an able cabinet and a progressive Congress; or expand the strongman rule of Donald Trump, who desecrates his office every day, spreads racism and a fatal virus for political gain, ignores environmental justice, embraces the fossil fuel industry, and calls the climate crisis a hoax.""If you don't get somebody in office that you can work with, then protests and demonstrations don't make a difference," said Earth Day founder Denis Hayes, a letter signatory. "I'd much rather have somebody I can work with than a symbolic vote."
"There is a strong motivation among disillusioned radical young people to vote third party now or sit out the election," added Peter Harnik, the coordinator of Environmental Action, a pioneer activist environmental organization. "We felt like we've been there and done this in the past. This is not the election to make a purity statement."

Chevy, I have just over 3 years to go to get Medicare. Hoping it will still be there when I hit 65. Biden said he would reduce the age to 60, which would be good for me and many others in the 60-65 age range who are no longer working.
And I am finding it interesting how tRump's mental and emotional statue developed too. It's pretty sad, really, but he is just plain MEAN. And has zero empathy for anyone.
Good article, Divine.

It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more "manhood" to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind. -Alex Karras

And the answer is....Joe Biden. For all the reasons you know to be true. I'm providing the link if you want to read the article.
Scientific American Makes First Presidential Endorsement In Its 175-Year History

What Can We Learn From Rival Presidential Ads in Florida? (NY Times, this arrived in my email)
It's that most central and chaotic of swing states, home to the hanging chad, the most recent statewide Senate recount, and already more than $200 million in television and radio presidential advertising in 2020.
We're talking, of course, about Florida.
It's perhaps the most harshly contested state between President Trump and Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic presidential nominee. Recent polls have shown Mr. Biden maintaining a slight lead over Mr. Trump — a Monmouth University poll had Mr. Biden at 50 percent with likely voters to Mr. Trump's 45 on Tuesday — but the margin of the race in Florida is expected to be razor thin. Mr. Trump carried the state by 113,000 votes in 2016.
Since July, the campaigns have been spending more on Florida's airwaves than anywhere else in the country. So far, the Trump campaign has spent $57.5 million and the Biden campaign has spent $63.7 million, including reservations through November, according to Advertising Analytics, an ad tracking firm. And Michael R. Bloomberg has pledged to spend $100 million in the state to support Mr. Biden.
But with the campaigns largely grounded by the coronavirus pandemic, Florida television screens are increasingly the primary method, along with digital advertising, by which campaigns are making their arguments to voters, and a look at both campaigns' recent advertising strategies reveals how they view their current standing in the Sunshine State.
Though the Biden campaign has been flexing their financial muscle recently with a ubiquitous ad presence across the country, it is the most expansive in Florida, where the campaign has more than two dozen unique on-air advertisements in different markets around the state over the past week.The most common message in Mr. Biden's advertising in Florida is a familiar one for Democrats: health care. He spent about $600,000 on one ad over the past week that retells the emotional tragedy of losing his wife and daughter in a car accident as he was sworn into the Senate, and how critical health insurance was to the care of his two sons. Two other ads, each supported by about $300,000 over the past week in Florida, link Mr. Biden's health care proposals to helping bring the country out of the pandemic.The Biden campaign is also clearly concerned about maintaining its lead over Mr. Trump among Latino voters. Though the campaign has spent $4 million on Spanish language ads in Florida since June, $1.1 million of that has come in the past two weeks, according to Advertising Analytics.A pair of Spanish language ads by the Biden campaign currently on air in Florida directly rebut attacks by Mr. Trump — evidence of a concern about the effectiveness of the president's accusations — and even embrace some of Mr. Biden's more progressive policies, such as raising taxes on the wealthy. "Trump talks a lot, but he's done little," both ads claim.
For Mr. Trump, who took a brief break from the airwaves during the Republican National Convention, his campaign's focus appears to be on two key groups in the state: seniors and Latino voters.Of the four Trump ads currently on air in Florida, one deals directly with Social Security. In that ad, the Trump campaign falsely portrays Mr. Biden as a candidate who wants to cut Social Security (Mr. Biden's proposal calls for expanding the program and raising taxes on the wealthy to pay for it).The ad also demonizes undocumented immigrants, claiming without evidence that a President Biden would take away Social Security from American citizens and give it to undocumented immigrants. Another Trump ad claims that under a President Biden, Floridians would have to "compete with illegal immigrants to keep your job."Playing to his base by sowing nativist fear about undocumented immigration has been core to Mr. Trump's political playbook since his rise in 2015. But it hasn't necessarily damaged his support among Latino voters in Florida. Though he trails Mr. Biden significantly among Latinos in Florida — the Monmouth poll found Mr. Biden with a 58 to 32 percent edge — that also comes as the state's Latino population has grown, and suggests Mr. Trump has made inroads with some Latino voters in Florida.
To that end, the Trump campaign has been spending heavily on Spanish language ads in Florida, $3.2 million since the start of August and $426,000 this week, according to Advertising Analytics. The Spanish language ad currently on air in Florida focuses heavily on the economy, saying that wages under the Obama administration remained stagnant, while Mr. Trump has raised overall wages. And it features a news clip claiming more Latino jobs had been created (Hispanic unemployment jumped from 4.8 percent in February to 14.5 percent in June, according to the Pew Research Center).Both campaigns have millions in ads booked in the state through November, and will most likely keep adding millions more. Voting begins in Florida with the distribution of absentee ballots on Sept. 24.
