(Or college. I lectured 5 days a week for 30 years. No notes. You can either talk on your feet, or you can’t. Good lawyers do it, too.*)

The optimism, hope, positivity, energy & joy at a Harris rally stands in incredibly stark contrast with a Trump rally where the entire message is that the U.S. is falling apart, WW3 is imminent, we should hate people who are different than us, & an Orange Messiah must save us.

When Trump & MAGA thought the nick on his ear was going to win the presidency for him, they failed to recognize the first rule of politics. Americans want leaders to make them feel good about themselves, about their country, and where it’s going. They don’t care about your ear.

What did happen to the bullet he took for democracy? Did Joe Biden get that in the coup?

Psychological warfare.

All ten Jewish Senators are Democrats and 24 of the 27 Jewish members of the House are Democrats. Here is why Kamala Harris's decision to choose Tim Walz shows that the Democratic party is hostile to Jews.

If only Trump could stop being Trump:

“Working for the common good.”

What a quaint, beautiful American ideal.
