Top comments: Open Thread

My schedule’s mixed around this month, so an open thread is the best I can do.

I am NOT disposing of evidence that right before the debate, TFG was unknowingly given an earpiece broadcasting the Intergalactic Mad Libs Championship. Any rumors to the contrary are slanderous.

But first, a word from our sponsor!

From troffelmasse:

VineyandVeals had a clear reminder that Harris is doing all of this as the only thing between us and complete fascism.

From belinda ridgewood:

In Jessica Sutherland's diary about Tim Walz reacting to Taylor Swift's endorsement, rflctammt made a poignant comment wishing everyone could have a dad like Walz, and Rhetor2 made a thought-provoking reply that could inspire a whole other verse of Imagine.

CA Libertarian had some thoughts on why Tim Walz is so easy to like and respect.
