Re: Serious Question For Democrats

By that measure, Biden still wins. Yeah, I prefer his policies and I sure as hell don't want trump appointing any more judges.

But he doesn't deserve such consideration on the merits. He is a fraud and a felon, and does not deserve to be anywhere near public policy, much less as POTUS

Going back to the Yucatán later this week. Two of our daughters recently spent a week at the villa and seeing their pics has me really looking forward to spending some time at our 2nd home.

This won't be nearly as nice as Dave's brisket PET, he obviously has years of experience and knows all the nuances of the cook. On the other hand, I've never cooked ribs this way.
