This week, Trump was asked whether lives could have been saved if the country had shut down 2 or 3 weeks earlier.
“Nobody really thought to do that,” he said.
Actually, someone did. Trump threatened to fire her, and he opposed the idea for 3 fatal weeks. https://t.co/gDY3xG8hfW

As a political independent & centrist, I’ve voted for both parties in the past. In this critical presidential election, I’m endorsing @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris.
Progress takes courage, humanity, empathy, strength, KINDNESS & RESPECT.
We must ALL VOTE: https://t.co/rZi1mxh8DC pic.twitter.com/auLbc8xDBv

(Side note: Both Mr. Johnson and his wife are coronavirus survivors.)
Thank you @TheRock for your support at this critical moment for our nation.
You said it best: This election is about earning the respect of the American people. It’s about decency. It’s about electing leaders who tell the truth.
Thanks again, DJ. Next time we’re talking cars. pic.twitter.com/V5kHR5fQbe

Yes, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris today.
But he's also shown some interest in Big Structural Change over the years. pic.twitter.com/5ci8jmOD2F

Wrap Up the Weekend Open Thread: Another Endorsement for Biden!Post + Comments (161)
CNN’s @jaketapper to Jill Biden: “Your husband has been known to make the occasional gaffe…”
Biden: “You can’t even go there. After Donald Trump you cannot even say the word gaffe.” #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/bBInkVhm6L— State of the Union (@CNNSotu) September 27, 2020
In the 2012 VP debate Biden was about to say something was bullshit but stopped himself and said "malarkey." Everyone laughed and it became his thing. He's an entertaining debater.

Sunday Evening Open Thread: Handicapping The First DebatePost + Comments (280)
Summer, it’s officially over! From commentor Lapassionara:
If you need garden photos, I snapped some of the fall color in my garden. The top photo is a close up of my Mexican Sunflower. It is starting to go to seed, but it has been a wonderful butterfly magnet this summer.
Some sassafras leaves…
Some oak leaf hydrangea leaves…
And some Virginia sweetspire bushes, all getting their fall color.
The final photo is of my small sunflowers, which really did well this year.
I gave up trying to grow vegetables years ago, and I am envious of all the wonderful harvest photos from other jackals.

What’s going on in your garden(s), this week?
Dogs that sniff out Covid, a unique face mask and a bike race with a difference 🚴♀️
