Long day. Work stuff, then stopped by Team Kendra HQ in Morgantown. I got there when it was not open, and it was all grey and industrial and blah so I went back later with some mums, some water, a couple dozen apples, some bananas, grapes, and other stuff.
Twenty days to go. What are you doing to take back our country?
Also, if you are so inclined, they can still use the cash:
If we get a couple hundred in the kitty I will hunt down Steve and post a picture of him. See what I did there? Kitty. Steve.
I think I am delerious.

Oh, is your mancold still bothering you? I’d make you some chicken soup if I was nearby.

The flowers were a great idea! I would have killed for healthy food the 10 days I spent in Iowa for Obama before the caucus on Jan 3, 2008. All those normally awesome foods like pizza and cookies and junk food got really old really fast. I still remember the day someone dropped off lasagna and salad.

Thanks, John. I needed to see Best Dog. She is such a dear one.

New ETA on the site upgrade? The last date mentioned has come and gone.
Slowly and creakily, the current site iteration is becoming a lesson in entropy.
Elizabelle
Her is the best dog.
And so is Rosie. And Thurston, in his, um, inimitable way.
John Cole
@NotMax: We pushed it back to after the election. No one has time.

@Elizabelle:
Leave Thurston alone!
John Cole
@John Cole: @NotMax: Plus I want the input from three of our reader who have agreed to help.
RAVEN
Year of the dog or dog of the year?
Elizabelle
@debbie: Poor Thurston. Always under a cloud.
Elizabelle
@RAVEN: Bored with his fame.
HELLO THERE!

Not in my book. He’s my favorite. And, no, I’m not biased because of Lovey. And her crazy but lovable and smart self. And whose brother is, I am sure, every bit as entertaining.

I hope you’re feeling better. The cold that’s going around is miserable.

James O’Keefe and Project Veritas embedded a mole in Senator Claire McCaskill’s (D) campaign. They’ve released video which shows that Claire McCaskill is a Democrat.
The transcript of the press call with Claire McCaskill’s campaign manager:
“…So this is really a question for Josh Hawley, what did he know, when did he know it?”

Don McGahn is out. Today was his last day.
Did we know this already? The news and “news” comes at such a pace, I truly can’t keep up or even know what I know.
Which I’m sure is part of the Master
Plan.

Love doggie.
wrt site upgrade, there have been rumors of nested comments. You PROMISED me it would never happen!! ???
Brachiator
@SiubhanDuinne: This story about the White House counsel seems to be just breaking. But no official confirmation. Could be another wild week.

@Brachiator:
I thought that was announced a long time ago. But it’s hard to keep up with all the slimeballs who come in and out of this administration.

@eemom:
All of the “nested comments” comments I’ve seen were from outside agitators.*
* Certain regulars being snarky dicks.

you have spellcheck turned off? It’s DAlerious //

@SiubhanDuinne: Not news he was leaving – it was already reported, and he was only in it until Kavanaugh got through. Perhaps a little earlier than expected – but kind of small potatoes at this point.

So I spent a couple hours in a bar writing GOTV postcards w/ the younglings who run a local Democratic Township org. It had been mostly dead before they revived it. They were activated by Wilbur’s campaign, are working hard to elect Dems up & down the ballot—including McCaskill, so there’s at least one good thing to come from that mess. Definitely a different crowd from my Indivisible folks but we are all in the same team & in the same fight for our lives.
As for canines, I’ve been saying for over a year that I’ll be looking to adopt a new pooch if the D’s take the House. I think it will happen & am working hard to make it so.
I am now off to watch a taped soccer game between the US & Canadian women’s teams. Goodnight everyone.

I meant to add earlier that it was very nice of you, John, to take them some flowers and water and healthy food. Great idea, since the two Democratic HQs I’ve worked in seem to always have a lot of cookies and coffee and doughnuts but not much fruit.
John Cole
@eemom: There will NEVER be nested comments or up or down voting of comments, ever.
H.E.Wolf
Just got home from the local campaign HQ for the Democrats. While we put stamps on hundreds of GOTV postcards, there were about 15-20 phone bankers getting orientation and starting to make calls.
The office vibe felt purposeful rather than frantic, which seemed like a good sign.

@John Cole: how about User ID numbers and FAQs to give some authority during pie fights? (I miss D-Kos)

I would like to be able to give quick positive feedback to a comment. My favorite D&D discussion website allows you to give XP for a post (because it’s D&D) or laugh with a post if it’s funny. You can’t down vote anyone.

@Brachiator:
His ‘planned” departure was announced the day after it was revealed that he had been talking to Mueller
TOTAL COINCIDENCE!
NO COLLUSION!!

@John Cole: I am good with that. Thank you. No nested comments. Evah.
Balloon Juicers smart enough to be able to keep track.

@John Cole:

Nested comments, like autocorrect, are the lapdogs of Satan.
eemom
moderation?? Da fuq did I say??
WaterGirl
@eemom: Cole hates nested comments so much that the mere mention of them puts you into moderation? Just kidding, I have no idea. I can’t find a single bad word in your comment.

Hey John – I’m writing and sending post cards for Kendra. By coincidence, I asked PostCardsPatriots for whichever candidate needed the most support, and was given hers. Little things like this makes the world more comfortably smaller. Nice with the flowers and fresh produce!

@John Cole:
I have to say, I’m with you on nested comments, but I wouldn’t mind being able to down-arrow eemom for going berserk on a harmless commenter.
