We talked about the rise in antisemitism, the trump Teams Gas Lighting of america women, and even some fantasy football. Okay, i have been thinking a lot lately about that moment a few weeks ago. When Kamala Harris walked out on the Debate Stage and took Donald Trumps hand. She was aggressive in seeking the handshake. She did not wait for him. She leaned in, literally, into his space. I have been taking about that moment because its an example of the campaign she has run ever since. I mean, instead of ignoring issues where she is perceived to have a disadvantage, by the way, every candidate has disadvantages. She has dug into them. Take the economy. Time and time again, polls s

If you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country. Anyone would know that. So he does that to shock us, to get us to say, look how reprehensible he is. Were not showing you it for those reasons. Its number 10,000 of his moral bankruptcy, as if we need proof of that.
