    Just seventy eight days of this suspense

    Until we dump both Trump and Pence.

    We'll all work hard turning out the vote

    Then return to sanity will commence.

    Governors, why can’t I see the comments on any thread? I’m properly logged in.

    Daily Kos' Morning Digest had this notice of a CO race.

    ● CO-03: Republican Lauren Boebert continues to try escape from the far-right image she's spent years cultivating with a new commercial called "Helping Others." Boebert tells the audience, "For years, I volunteered to counsel at-risk women at the Garfield County jail. After their release, some lived with my family, and others, I offered jobs."

      That's a pretty good spot, actually, although only Republicans would think a table-waiting gig in a Rifle restaurant is a “good-paying job.''

      But the 3rd CD wonders, where is Diane?

    Is there a secret password to read the open thread now?  I can't access the discussion. Nor the weekend open thread.

    Russia, if you've got Pols comment posting, you should publish them. You'll be greatly rewarded.

    We are working on a comment display problem related to our upgrade to WordPress 5.5 last night. Please stand by.

    I posted the countdown ditty just after midnight — but couldn't read it.  Apparently, others have the same problem.  Is help on the way, Alva.

    Meanwhile, if Polsters file our thoughts, and there is no one to read them, does Trump still stink?

    How to watch the Democratic convention:

    Live on ABC

    I’m watching Michelle Obama now. Miss her.

    Bernie’s speech can be seen here.

    Kristen Urquiza gave an emotional speech in which she blamed Donald Trump for her father’s death from coronavirus:

    “His only preexisting condition was trusting Donald Trump, and for that, he paid with his life,” she said.
