1/ I know you heard Trump's interview with Mike Wallace was a train wreck, but did you know HOW bad?
I thought not....

For reasons that are difficult for anybody, even Chris Wallace, to understand, President Trump sat for a lengthy interview with Chris Wallace, a Fox News host who gives tough interviews.
2/ If you would rather see some excellent comedic reporting on the interview, Trevor Noah goes through the
worst [I mean best of course] moments....
10 painful but amusing minutes.
3/ Ironic - Portland Oregon is one of the most progressive cities in America, but has one of the worst police forces too....and this
was BEFORE Trump sent in the secret police....
Forty-eight hours later, the only mark of the “riot” at the Portland Police union headquarters is a small hole in one of the gold-tinted windows, plugged with putty.
The police killing of George Floyd on the streets of Minneapolis on May 25th unleashed a torrent of anger against police departments across the nation. But in this Pacific Northwest city, with a shameful history of racism and police killings of black residents, the reaction has been intense and sustained. Protesters have marched by the thousands across bridges.
4/ I ain't wearin no stinkin mask!
5/ The Lincoln Project with a tribute to John Lewis "Wake Up"....a wonderful ad....
6/ Marco Rubio posted a tribute to John Lewis, but unfortunately used a picture of Elijah Cummings....
Floriduh - you elected this phony asshole...
7/ Tom Tomorrow with one of his better ones....
8/ And here is John Lewis crowd surfing on the Colbert show.....remember he's in his late 70's!
About three minutes....
9/ And finally....
10/ Time for one of the unnerving apocalyptic columns from Umair....this one unfortunately has
more than a few grains of truth to it...
There’s no other way to say it, so let me just speak frankly. Thanks to Donald Trump’s stunning lack of leadership, America’s in a state that can only be described as free fall. Rarely in history has a nation descended into chaos, depression, despair, and mass death at all. But this fast? It’s unprecedented — outside of true authoritarian implosions, that is.
How bad are things in America? Unbelievably, shockingly, incredibly bad. Let’s begin with Coronavirus, and then proceed through economics, to politics and society.
11/ This is a sad story, because regular readers of DDD know one of my go-to columnists is Andrew Sullivan, who is conservative but has a world view that's different but often makes sense. Now he is being forced out of New York Magazine because his conservatism makes some of the staff there feel uncomfortable. Nothing else, just him being slightly right wing.
These are weird times we live in....

The good news is that my last column in this space is not about “cancel culture.” Well, almost. I agree with some of the critics that it’s a little nuts to say I’ve just been “canceled,” sent into oblivion and exile for some alleged sin. I haven’t. I’m just no longer going to be writing for a magazine that has every right to hire and fire anyone it wants when it comes to the content of what it wants to publish.
12/ Trump aces his cognitive test....
13/ On the same basic topic as Andrew Sullivan, Matt Taibbi roasts the left using the same purity tests that the conservatives
tried to use years ago....a very good article...
In August, 2005, Rolling Stone sent me to cover a freak show. In a small Pennsylvania town called Dover, residents contrived to insert a sentence about teaching “intelligent design” into the curriculum, and fought for its right to do so in an extravagantly-covered trial in the “big city” capital of Harrisburg.
Dover’s school board president, Alan Bonsell, was a fundamentalist who believed God shaped man from dust.
14/ One of our alert readers sent this advice below on your mail-in ballot....also if you fill in the contact info on the form they are supposed to call you if there is an issue....
A family member of mine had a mail-in ballot rejected due to old signature mismatch. Many of us have had hand issues that change our signature over time. Here’s an important tool that can enable folks to update their signature file.
If your mail-in ballot was rejected here’s a possible remedy
Correcting a Missing or Mismatched Signature on a Vote-by-Mail Ballot
If a voter forgets to sign the return envelope or provides a signature on his/her return envelope that does not match signature examples on file with the Lake County Supervisor of Elections office, he or she may correct the discrepancy by completing and returning a Vote-By-Mail Ballot Cure Affidavit (DS-DE 139 - English PDF / Español PDF ). The deadline to submit the Affidavit is no later than 5 p.m. the 2nd day after the election. Failure to follow the Affidavit instructions carefully may cause his or her ballot not to count.
15/ "Not My Child...a powerful, emotionally wrenching ad about mothers being forced to send
their kids back to school when it's unsafe....wow....
16/ A chilling story in Rolling Stone, detailing how Republicans are planning to suppress and intimidate voters on November 3rd...
In June, President Trump sat in the Oval Office for one of his periodic interviews-turned-airing-of-
17/ Maybe Andrew Sullivan's last article for New York Magazine, a long and fascinating essay on how humanity has
always been plagued with disease, and how it's likely to get worse. If you are a fan of history, this is really interesting....
It’s strange that we now see America threatened by a plague. Because without plague, America, as we know it, wouldn’t exist.
It may have been the most devastating epidemic in the history of humankind — surpassing in its mortality rates any before or since, including the Black Death in the Europe of the mid-14th century. Smallpox arrived in America with the first Europeans and went on, with several other imported diseases, to wipe out up to 90 percent of the Native population in a relatively short amount of time — millions and maybe tens of millions died. https://nymag.com/
18/ Love this ad....."Comrade Trump"....
19/ I guess the Villages are reaping what they sowed in June when they opened everything up with a vengeance,
with Covid cases and deaths rising fast in July....
THE VILLAGES, Fla. — For months, many of the residents at one of America’s biggest retirement communities went about their lives as if the coronavirus barely existed. They played bridge. They held dances. They went to house parties in souped-up golf carts that looked like miniature Jaguars and Rolls-Royces.
And for months they appeared to have avoided the worst of the pandemic.
Todays video for the chaps- the stunt driver Ken Block tears through the streets of Los Angeles, ruining tires and generating adrenaline!

Today's hunter joke
One night at a local bar frequented by a bunch of deer hunters who werewaiting for the opening day of deer season, the local sheriff scoped out thejoint for possible drunk drivers.As he waited, eventually a patron stumbled out of the bar, fumbled for hiskeys, tried them in three different cars until he finally found his, gotinside and rested his head on the steering wheel. The deputy knew he had hisdrunk driver, so now all he had to do was wait for him to start his engineand pull out of the lot.A few minutes passed by and most of the other deer hunters had left by then,when the patron abruptly lifted his head, cranked the car up and drove outof the lot like a bat out of hell. The deputy followed him and stopped himpromptly.He administered the breathalyzer test and it read 0.00. Confused, thedeputy asked the driver what the hell was going on.The driver looked at him innocently and said, "Well, tonight I'm thedesignated decoy."
