Thank you for posting that Orema. Somehow I'd missed that article.

I can't help but notice Susan Collins name doesn't appear in any of the categories which leads me to believe she has her nose shoved up Trump's behind as usual!

Maine Sen. Susan Collins (R) trails her Democratic challenger — state Rep. Sara Gideon — by 8 points in the latest poll from the Bangor Daily News.

Collins is one of a handful of GOP senators whose race has been labeled a "toss up" by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

In the poll, when asked who was their first choice in November's Senate election, 43 percent of respondents said Gideon, while 35 percent said Collins. Gideon's lead was greater among the registered voters surveyed.

Collins, who has served as one of Maine's senators since 1997, has seen her positivity ratings plummet, most notably among Democrats and independents.

Sixty percent of independents polled said their opinion of Collins had negatively shifted in the past four years, and 80 percent of Democrats said the same. She even struggled within her own party, as 34 percent of Republicans polled said they view Collins more negatively than they did four years ago; 31 percent said they view Collins more positively now than they did four years ago, the start of President Trump's presidency.

I apologize for this. I thought I was posting in the breaking news thread. Now it's too late to move it. It makes no sense here but I can't do anything about it. I am sorry.

Gun culture, and people of color being killed every day in America by gun toting haters is more than a worthy subject of discussion. I personally think Biden and Harris should actually cover this issue.

Wow talk about a shit show lie fest. Yes, I watched the first night of the Republican convention - I don't blame anyone who didn't.

Years ago - I believe it was during George Bush Sr - I committed myself to watching at least one night of the Republican Convention and reading their platform each election and have done it since Bush Sr. I do this to remind myself just how horrible the Republican party is and what they stand for. Trump may have taken things to a whole new level, but as far as I am concerned it has been a truly horrible party since at least Nixon.

Well, I don't even have to bother to read the platform because the committee voted not to have a new platform and just pledge allegiance to Trump. Unbelievable.

I thought it was going to be amateur hour since they kept changing everything until the last minue and with Trump micromanaging everything, but on that front it was okay. However, it was mainly speeches from a podium (taped but made to look live) from a federal building - which they shouldn't be doing.

The lying was off the charts. You would think Trump was this very kind, caring man who has saved us all from COVID-19 and Biden and all Democrats are evil socialists who are destoying, rioting and looting - and wll make it even worse if Biden is elected.

You would also think the Republican party is quite diverse made up of lots of black people, latinos, asians, etc.

The whole thing was bizarre and from another planet. They lied about everythig - from small things to major things.

Just an utter shit show. I don't plan to watch anymore of it.

This line of yours Bulldog? Isn't that the scariest of all? Hitler-esque, if you ask me.

I am sure the whole world is 'watching' and if American's let the toddler in the WH get away with this, then there will never be a way to recover (imo).

Thanks for keeping us posted. I appreciate it, a lot.

The Republican Convention

Fear-mongering, demagoguery, nightmare scenarios, loathing...all that was missing was Jew-baiting and you'd have a Nuremberg Rally ... but that might come tonight.

How despicable!

Mr. Jenny turned it off because i kept yelling at the screen.

The lying and gaslighting was bad enough, but what i could not stomach was the way in which SOMEHOW, every sentence uttered by every single speaker had a racist dog whistle in it!

Like they must have had a specialist working on it. Just stunning

Seems Melania has the toughest Convention job of all: trying to humanize Donald Trump.

BTW Trump has had one major success. He's managed to make the phrase "FDA Approved", suspect.

Yes, it was awful. What about the racist white trash McCloskeys? OMG. Unreal. "What happened to us could happen to any of you" - yeah if you brandish a gun at people you can be charged with a crime. According to Claire McCaskill they sue everyone and once destroyed bee hives that were near their property line that a Jewish synagogue had to grow honey for Rosh Hashanah. The children wept when they heard.

Don Jr. & his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle both were seriously deranged and looked drugged out. I hear cocaine was trending on Twitter.

The most mind-boggling of the lies to me was Trump's coronavirus. In their alternate universe Trump took decisive action and provided the much needed supplies. What???? Who can believe this gas lighting.

I don't think most people are worried about cities being overrun by mobs or that Joe Biden and the Democrats are going to demolish the suburbs. That seems to be the only argument they have against Biden so far at the convention.

I don't see how this could appeal to anyone other than those who were already planning to vote for Trump. I sure hope I'm right.
