I'm having 2016 flashbacks and I'm not sure why Democrats aren't.
You've tried this strategy already. "I'm not Donald Trump" didn't work for you four years ago.

This is what happens when you spend years pretending that people voted for him because of a phantom Russian conspiracy instead of accepting that he won a legitimate election.
I know what the polls are saying, but I also know what they said last time too. I also know that when I drive around suburban MD I see almost no Biden signs, and when I drive in rural VA, I see wall-to-wall Trump signs.
Almost every single R-leaning friend who didn't vote for Trump last time is planning on voting for him this time, without any apprehension. Every single friend who voted for him last time is pulling the lever for him again, quite enthusiastically. Almost none say it publicly.
Perhaps the best representation of how poorly they campaigned was when HRC spent election night signing these covers. And up to the wire, Trump was campaigning in Wisconsin, etc (and was being called crazy to spend his time there!) telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/1…
Y'all need more Aesop's Fables in your lives because 2016 and 2020 are 100% "Tortoise and the Hare."

Out and about today at a museum in the DC area today, Seth mentioned that a woman in the cafeteria looked like Usha Vance. He said it couldn’t be her, because she was alone and buying stuff at the self-checkout and sitting at a random table. I looked, and yes, it was Usha.
I tried to chat with her, but she was in a hurry because she was alone, getting her kids stuff for lunch.

As much as I loved her before, I love her that much more now.
Anyway, @JDVance your wife is a delight and my kids now want to have their own astronaut costumes like yours lol

Every time I turn on the radio to a certain station midday, the host talks about how she had a serious depressive episode. She discusses what her therapist tells her. On a midday show on a rock station. Has her therapist ever listened, and other things I wonder.
“Well, you’ll have better luck dating if you don’t talk about your struggling mental health on the radio every day.”
“Nobody wants to date a lunatic and you come off like someone days away from committing a mass shooting.”

I really want to know what these people talk about in therapy, and if their therapists say this stuff to them.

Guys I am telling you. Buy activated charcoal & have it on hand. Take it to stop the puking and give it to everyone in the house proactively to prevent spread. I’ve been posting about it for a month and not to sound like I’m a QVC saleswoman but dozens of people messaged me.
I have posted my affiliate link so I make a small commission but I’m doing this out of the kindness of my heart. Nobody wants to be a puke influencer but that’s G-d’s plan for me and I’ve accepted it.

Buy this now, keep it in the cabinet:

Adults take two tablets, kids take one. If a kid is too small for pills, open it into a bowl of applesauce.

On Jewish Instagram, @MelissaSChapman is making a ruckus because she dared say Jews should marry Jews.

The fact that this is in any way a controversial statement is a stain on how gutless American Jewish organizations have been about the reality of Jewish continuity for decades
If you care about your faith and your community, you should marry within your faith and your community. Faith and community are important. You should have shared values with your spouse. This is in no way controversial.
Probably billions of dollars have been spent trying to make the Jewish community more open and welcoming to intermarried families. Why? People have made their choice to leave the community. Jewish resources should not be dedicated to people to whom Judaism is not important.

Since COVID, we’ve done one crazy thing and it has led to our family getting sick *a lot* less frequently. Read this 🧵 to find out more.
We wash our hands a lot more. That’s it.
I just have been seeing a lot of people do this stupid clickbait thing in an effort to gin up their engagement.

I keep showing my kids the movies I watched as a kid and realizing OH MY GOD none of the movies I watched as a kid are kids movies At. All.
Day After Tomorrow: Not a kids movie.
Volcano: Extremely not a kids movie.
Here’s what I remember from Volcano (Tommy Lee Jones, Anne Heche):

There was a volcano. It was rerouted. Yay.

What actually happened: So many people burned to death in lava. Then it was rerouted. Yay?
