Hola Ciao -

2 ounces mezcal or tequila

1 ounce fresh lime juice

¾ ounce Cointreau

½ ounce Campari or Aperol

2 teaspoons agave, or more if desired

Shake with ice and strain, garnish with orange slice

The drink is a lovely shade of orange, like both of our candidates (WHY SO MUCH BRONZER)

Sip until you can no longer count the days until November. What a fucking nightmare. If someone made a movie of this mess, no one would believe it. I say drink, smoke, dance like no one's watching, hide your money in a coffee can and throw your tv out the window ala Network.

SHERRY,

I believe and agree with your article here.

If FT self destructs further, perhaps Biden can prevail.

Otherwise I say turn Kamala loose! Way loose so she can grab the attention of every Dem and Progressive and younger voter to try to kick ass.

Thank you, DJ. I believe she can summon the fire to do just that.

Let’s pretend Biden steps aside. Who is the ace that the Democrats have up their sleeve? Uh, that would be nobody.

It has to be Harris, whether they like it, or not. In my opinion, anyway.

I think it can be whoever the Dems nominate, but I’m not sure. But I don’t think Harris can beat Trump. I really hope I’m wrong tho.

I hope so, too. At this point, the whole mess is surreal.

I agree. An ace, likely not.

More likely advertising and new stupidity might take DT down a bit.

It has to be Harris. She’s VP. That’s how it works unless she’s convinced to bow out, too. We should get used to the idea because Joe could have a stroke at any minute and game over.

I totally agree. Thank you, Denise.

The only way Trump doesn't win this election will be if he drops dead, so don't kid yourself. For some reason everyone is unhappy now, they think crime is on the rise (it's not) they think the economy is terrible (it's not) and they think immigrants are destroying America. They are not, in fact they are keeping the economy afloat. If immigration is stopped our population will decline and we will circle the drain economically. But no one knows that. They think everything is going to shit and people who feel that way vote out incumbents.

I’m not kidding myself. I agree. Thank you, Paul.
