The networks initially gave the Dems 1 hour of coverage each night so that Trump could be held to the same hour. Not sure they kept to it. You know he’s gonna run long. They’ll time it so Trump speaks at the end of the hour, and takes it into extra innings.

That would imply they will do a good job.

I’m going with relabelled chloroquine. They’ll call it “freedom juice” or something.

I really liked Kamala Harris’s speech, because it was positive and she smiled all through it. Don’t expect to see much of that in any of these.

We had a case here some years where someone trimmed an Oleander plant and burned the waste. Almost killed him, his family, and made several of his neighbors sick.

Land of Promise
Land of Heroes
Land of Greatness

It’s Dystopian Disneyfatherland!

Walk the Boulevard of Broken Promises and browse the souvenir shops for masks with holes cut out of the center.

Buy a plastic wreath in Land of Heroes, then awkwardly place it on a wall, afterwards, enjoy 2 scoops of ice cream in The Bunker -our themed family eatery.

Head on over to the Land of Greatness and check out the blackened earth and tree stumps of Scorched Earth Policy - grab a rake and see if you can stop a fire!

See the kiddies romp in Land of Opportunity - can you strip mine this wilderness? Find out on the Pipeline Flume ride as you barrel down an oil pipe - don’t forget to get a picture to send to gramps - oh wait, gramps is dead.

Maybe he will cop a feel on live TV.

The idea had been proposed at the penultimate meeting, but then 45* felt that Pence might ‘accidentally’ elbow him over the edge of the caldera.

One of many watch parties to be had!

Wouldn’t be the first time. And it’s a known dementia thing.

I was hoping to see Eastwood debate that chair again. The chair won the first round, but Clint is ready for a rematch.

MyPillow has a new line of products especially for caskets - or so I’ve heard.
