Or rallying his base to harass her.

Slightly OT… Wonder how many Hunter Biden laptops there are, the FBI has one and now Giuliani gave another to the Delaware Police…

Happily I have already voted for Biden

And this is exactly what I would expect of him. That he would reach out to a grieving widow and spend the time it took.

All the more I am sure of my vote.

”When asked what she would say to Trump if he called her, Roberts responded that she would hang up.”

On November 3rd, America hangs up on Trump.

Wish we all had one of these when we collectively slam down the hand piece. That sound is a classic right after a stiff “and a Good Day to you Sir!” Bam!

You realize that, no matter what happens, he will claim to the end of his life that he won and that the election was stolen from him.

If you’re waiting for him to humble himself before the nation . . . don’t.

It’s just surreal that we have a major theme in this election which is what you could call the empathy gap—one candidate who has a lot of it in contrast to another pathologically lacking it nearly entirely. And it continues to be surreal as you go down the list of other things we’re deciding this election on. Do we need a competent person to be president, or not? Should we deal with problems? Have allies? Maintain national security? Uphold our ideals? Govern in the interests of the people? Not allow official corruption? Have impartial justices? Not use the justice system to harass critics and rivals?

I could go on. It’s surreal.

I was going to vote for Biden no matter how many laptops Giuliani managed to produce. And no Biden has not been my favorite in any of the many primaries he has participated.

Don’t worry. I am more than cynical about this. And I have been around the block way more than just once.

Correct. And it won’t matter to him one bit. He’ll still think he won.

There’s a longstanding tradition of using the FBI, CIA, and various intel and law enforcement agencies to harass and persecute perceived enemies. This didn’t start with Trump.

And you think you’re going to get all that from a Joe Biden administration, huh; that nothing morally suspect will occur under his stewardship?

Born on third base. Convinced he hit a triple.
