It's official. is 's VP pick.

I find it amusing that my autocorrect changed Vance to "Cancer."

Media should ask him if he's a spitter or a swallower.
He might want to get premeasured for a rope necklace.

It was to be expected. That guy auditioned reeeeally hard to become the next mini-me. No lie too small nor too ridiculous.
He’s no Pence, that’s for sure.
And I say this without a smidge of sarcasm

@KayVay Totally expected

@GottaLaff
Well, I’m signing off again. I decided to check the news after being off social media for an entire week, not looking at news sites, only local (wildfire alerts and such).
As I am thoroughly disgusted with what’s going on again, I’ll return to my abstinence. Never losing sight of who I’m voting for, of course.
I am un-swayable (yes, it’s a word)
Be safe!

I've been largely staying away from the news ever since public mouthpieces took all the crazy pills post debate. I drop in now, and I'm leaving again. More outrage. Helpless people. When does everyone take to the streets especially after the Cannon decision?

Meanwhile, I'm going to cleanse myself with some cathartic John Wick. On repeat.

Hugs to everyone.

@jenzi It pretty much is red

@GottaLaff My county elected Obama in 2008 - it came down, basically, to district 1 in Ohio and we pulled out a win. We are the path to the Presidency, you don't get there without winning Ohio.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@jenzi I know, and right now, Ohio is red. But there is hope.

jenzi ,
@jenzi@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Sherrod Brown is running for re-election and is pretty loved. There is hope as his opponent seemingly looks worse. He got cornered on abortion and tried to get out of it when we just approved a state-Constitution measure.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@jenzi I think Sherrod can pull it off.

Not so sure about Tester in Montana though.

anubis2814 ,
@anubis2814@friendica.myportal.social avatar

@GottaLaff @jenzi Yeah Browns polls have him well in the lead, I can't find any poll on Tester sadly which worries me, but Montanas are weird and will vote blue at seemingly random times.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@anubis2814 @jenzi I saw a bad poll for Tester, but only one flew by. I haven't seen any others.

It's too early right now to use that one.

clane22 ,
@clane22@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

@jenzi @GottaLaff Ohio IS red. As long as DeWine is here we won’t change. We used to be purple, but the gerrymandered districts put a stop to that, as well as DeWine. We have a very long road to go!!

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@clane22 That's what I was saying to @jenzi, that it IS red.

With blue moments.
