Listen to Michelle—
“If you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can,” Obama warned. “And they will, if we don’t make a change in this election.” If the nation is to “have any hope of ending this chaos,” the former first lady continued, then “we have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it.”
...Which brings us to the five most significant words of Obama’s address. She did not simply urge her audience to vote for Joe Biden; she urged them to vote early. She urged voters who must vote absentee to request their ballots immediately and return them as soon as possible.
And she urged voters to cast their ballots “in person if we can.” www.vox.com/...
Yes, Ma’am, we will.
Michelle Obama’ complete convention speech:
If you are reading this diary, you are probably involved enough to know you are registered to vote.
However, someone you know may not be.
Ask your neighbors, family members, co-workers. I have a friend who asks every college student she sees in the grocery line behind her.
If folks are not sure if they are registered or need info on how to register in their state, they can look here: www.vote.org/…
On that site, one can check their voter info, find their polling place, find what’s on the ballot, find how to update their voter info if needed, find how to register to vote in their state, and learn about absentee voting by mail in their state.
Yes, Sir, we will.

She recorded her Aunt Maryanne talking about Donald
Maryanne Trump Barry bitterly criticized her brother, President Donald Trump, saying, "Donald's out for Donald," and appeared to confirm her niece Mary Trump's previous allegations that he had a friend take his SATs to get into college, according to audio excerpts obtained by CNN.
The Washington Post first obtained the previously unreleased transcripts and audio from Mary Trump, author of a recent bombshell book about the President and one of his most outspoken critics. Mary Trump, who has said that Donald Trump is unfit to be president and has voiced support for his rival Joe Biden, revealed to the Post that she had secretly taped 15 hours of face-to-face conversations with Barry in 2018 and 2019...
Among the some of the more critical comments made by Barry was commenting on how her younger 74-year-old brother operated as president. "His goddamned tweet and lying, oh my God," she said, according to the recording. "I'm talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy shit."

The Times' article —
published in October 2018 by reporters David Barstow, Susanne Craig, and Russ Buettner — revealed that "through dubious tax schemes" Trump received "the equivalent today of at least $413 million from his father's real estate empire."
The Times said in its story at the time the article was based on tens of thousands of confidential records it had obtained. In her book, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man," Mary Trump said that she provided the reporters 19 boxes of documents and explained how she ended up working with the newspaper.
