Beyond me why the Secret Service ignored the voices in the crowd who saw Mr. Crooks. (What a name!). Oh Lucian, I am praying for Kamala and all of us. This is a “tipping point” moment in our history and in world history. Thank you for all you write.

After seeing Kamala Harris speak yesterday, I am convinced that she is the warm sunlight that can banish Trump's creeping, sinister darkness. They may make fun of her giggles, but she has a joyful spirit and such positive energy. I love her laughter and sparkle. We absolutely can do this! And now Trump has J. D. Vance tied around his neck like a rotting chicken. Hah!
Love 'rotting chicken'. That's what I used when crabbing around the edges of Chesapeake Bay. Tie a long string around the rotting chicken neck then wade out to waist deep water with a crab net and a basket that floats (attached to your belt along with your end of the string), toss the bait out. Soon enough, there's a nibble. Slowly draw the string & bait toward you until it's close enough to slide the net underneath the crab. As soon as the crab notices the net coming up below it, the crab lets go and literally falls into the net.
Once the basket is half-full (they'll climb out if you fill the basket), head home and steam in a large pot in a couple of inches of beer, add Old Bay seasoning. Put a table outdoors, cover with newspapers and have at it with nut crackers or mallets. Best to wear an apron while eating. There's nothing sweeter than fresh blue crab meat. Unlike the rotting chicken which is eventually released for the enjoyment of the bottom dwellers.
Yes! I did that a few times along the Eastern Shore of Maryland when I was teenager. I wasn't bold enough to go into the water, so I was lying flat on the prow of the boat, lowering and raising the rope and scooping the crabs with a net. We had amazing crab feasts, just as you described. It was so much fun. Old Bay Seasoning is the best!
We have had years of Secret Service scandals. The media either ignores them or drops their coverage after a couple of days rather than following up on what, if anything, was done to fix the problems.

The near-miss assassination attempt on Donald Trump is the latest in a string of scandals surrounding the Secret Service.”
I'm glad you put "liberal" in quotes, because the mainstream media is anything but. Reporters on the ground tend to be a relatively liberal lot, but the shots are called by the upper-level editors, publishers, and owners, and liberal they mostly are not.
And here I thought it was being LBJ's VP . . . P.S. I've been a Tom Lehrer fan since I was barely in double digits. Inherited it from my father. My impressionable mind was also influenced by _That Was the Week That Was._

I hope she keeps smiling and laughing, as it will drive Trump crazy..

Here's a tribute to her.
And to all women working to save our democracy 👍💖
Wow! Thanks for this—it made me cry. I'm remembering my mother and grandmother.
Same here 😔.
It would be the best theme song for Kamala's campaign. I've written to Keb' Mo's manager and to the White House. Maybe it'll go somewhere.
I will send it to a couple of people I know. One is a delegate.
Oh yay!!🎉
It's perfect!
THANK YOU!!! Hope Kamala sees it!
Thank you @StillLearning!
So frigging GOOD!!
Right??😻😁☺️
Did you watch the speech? A statesman and my hero. Kamala was a brilliant choice for VP and now for president. I'm so happy to feel so hopeful 💞

Our mainstream “liberal” media is loathe to besmirch the image of people or organizations that they have put on a pedestal.

Money tends to quash a fiery liberal spirit...see Tom Lehrer's Whatever Became of Hubert ...

Love Tom Lehrer! Here's a favorite of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAEmhqdLFs These day, it can as easily apply to climate change as to "the bomb".
Plus a link to a compilation, all of which he placed in the public domain: https://tomlehrersongs.com/
He was so talented. I believe he was a college professor in real life .We wore the grooves out on his record.
"tipping point". Please say it's so!
