It will be looked back on as both.

The worst of times with the best ending.

After thinking about it for a day, I have decided that "FG" decided to refer to Kamala as Indian to boost/equalize her with Vance's wife.

I appreciate your Substack, podcasts just don’t do it for me- hearing impaired and patience impaired. I can reading is much faster than listening and perfection isn’t a requirement.

You are the best. The very best.

If Trump were my relative, I hope we'd be organizing an intervention and getting him into rehab.

Well, I don’t know what DSR is. I’m happy to have discovered you on Substack. I don’t have any any problems whatsoever with the way you write …thanks so much.

go to www.thedsrnetwork.com. We do 15-18 podcasts a week on policy and politics. Nearly 1 million downloads a month. Great, loyal listeners. All expert content all the time. And some fun. (And some of us have been podcasting together for almost 10 years now.)

I honestly have trouble with podcasts. I’m more interested in reading what you write. occasionally I will look at a video, but only very short succinct ones …I guess I really do have ADHD :-)!

DSR = Deep State Radio. Check it out. I've even got the mug, the tumbler, and the T-shirt.

I've been a huge fan of yours for years via your DSR podcasts (fewer and far between now! Sad!) but quite new to your Substack and am surprised that it's, well, how do I say this lovingly? Slapdash and kinda sloppy. There, I've said it. Sigh. Maybe write less frequently (& less reactively) with more of your never-failing, always crisp insights? You are just too damn smart for diatribes and the easy Gets. What'd ya need Substack for anyway? Better to grab more airtime from "the failing" DSR which is simply a bore without you. With affection from the Oregon Coast.

And Trump denied that Harris is black to a room full of Black journalists. A stupid, stupid man.

Maybe that's the question we should be asking.

"Are you saying, sir Sir, that you're too stupid to recognize a multiracial person when you meet one?"

The one group that's lagging in support is voters over 65...actually lower support than Biden was receiving.

I'm baffled as to why...

With luck, that won't matter.

Are the over-65 stats broken down by race? As an over-70 white woman, I'm continually embarrassed by polling stats for white people in my age bracket. (The ones I know personally, however, are cool, and if any of them *aren't* gung-ho for Harris, they aren't saying so.)
