This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Our wings are not tired.

Vance being forced out would be delightful. The cult would accept whatever excuse they gave. No clue what the odds are of it happening.

I would experience such pure happiness that I would definitely lose my soul. (Worth it.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

A little schadenfreude (in my opinion) - the tRump campaign is complaining about the money they spent campaigning against Biden and want to be reimbursed (guess they actually paid the bills?). Their early revised campaign materials seem to be focusing on Kamala Harris as a sex object (?).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I'm really encouraged by how Dems are coalescing around Harris, and the political conversation has moved on to her VP pick. You know the timing on this has been exquisitely orchestrated, and I sense Biden's hand in that, particularly ramping up the calls to resign the nomination as the RNC convention rambled on.

Also my joy at seeing the Rs discombobulated by this turn of events. That is sweet.

Agreed on all counts, Theo. I'm feeling...hopeful? Is that what this feeling is?

I think I might be, too.

I grinned when I just saw a headline that Schumer and Jeffries just endorsed her. Oh yeah, there's some calculated stage managing going on.

I expect a family might feel this way when a beloved grandfather finally admits the cataracts have gotten bad and gives up their car keys.

Thrive to spite them

I read that Act Blue raised $63 million in one day and there was a Zoom call by Win With Black Women that had 40,000 or more attendees and they raised $1 million during the 4 hour call.

and the AP Says that her campaign raised $81 million in 24 hours smashing records. So let the GOP bitch about the money Biden raised, Harris can raise her own money.

I'm feeling better about this seeing the support around her.

Dramatic. Looking at a few videos. Surprise for the tourists for sure.
