I don’t think I could handle the radical change from the so-called deep dark DNC convention to the dire dystopian depths of the RNC fear fest.

Its comical that Trump and his team were calling the DNC.

" Trump slams Democrats, says where they see ‘darkness’ he sees ‘American greatness’"

Don’t see much sunshine or hope building with the speakers I see on that list.

Maybe even worse. Just read that Mark Meadows says the idea here is to put “heat” on “bureaucrats.” I think this is the federal regulatory system for drug development being told by the Shouty Mean Boss to just do it, he doesn’t care how.

ETA made a quick look-see and there’s nothing out there to suggest there’s any kind of new drug. That would be a major news story everywhere. Just Trump lying because he’s desperate.
