So I should rename the thread to Trump vs Biden and lock it?
In 1998, 4 of us from Marquette went to Dairyland.  We were not only going to see the races, but also to see the WWF wrestler Kane (pretty popular at the time), who was going to sign autographs at the track from 7-9pm.  My friend was hoping he'd be able to get a picture of Kane pretending to choke slam him.

We got stoned, left late, and took a few wrong turns getting there, so we ended up arriving just in time to see the grappler--dressed in all red--get into a Lincoln Navigator and drive off.  No one got autographs nor pictures.

Anyway, Dairyland was in Kenosha.

The movie A League of Their Own tells the tale of the WW II era woman’s professional baseball league and their persistence gaining acceptance in a male-centric time. The story is told from the perspective of the Racine Peaches, their league-wide catching star (Geena Davis), her scrappy kid sister (Lori Petty) and their washed-up pro ball player-turned-manager (Tom Hanks).

While the Peaches eventually lose the 7th game of the woman’s World Series, the film captures the comradery, hard work, and perseverance of the women who played in the league.

Anyway, Racine is pretty close to Kenosha.

The kid sister did get traded to the Racine team who won the championship (with a young/good looking Tea Leoni making a cameo)

I was finally going to get around to watching this movie but now that I know how it turns out I guess I can skip it.  Thanks

Racine Belles! Damn, I totally screwed that up.

Besides, Rockford is the Kenosha of Illinois.

Encourage and demonstrate mask-wearing would go a long way for me personally

 Notice that the potus pointedly told the people at his roundtable in Kenosha to take off their masks "because the people want to see you". 

Modeling good behavior is an underappreciated aspect of past Presidents who are held in high regard.

I ran a State Senate campaign in Kenosha, living at the "Executive Inn" for over three months in beautiful Pleasant Prairie right off of 94 (behind The Brat Stop which was good for coming home late from the office). Hotel guests got one free drink per night at the bar so that was a plus. The Italian food down there resulted in weight gain that took at least 2x the time to take off. Tenuta's Muffalato sandwiches and Infusio's sausage were significant contributors to that weight gain.

His visit was what everyone should have expected. He refused to condemn violence by his “side,” painted Rittenhouse and cops as the true victims, took credit for stuff he didn’t do, refused to accept responsibility for anything, and lied a lot. Nothing more than one of his typical campaign stops.

Around all of the crazy, he got a couple of soundbites that, objectively, will play well in Wisconsin. Biden is going to have to go to SEW and GB/Fox Valley to earn his votes.

Yes, it should.  She should not get a pass on her response to this pandemic at all.

She won’t get a pass from honest Democrats/liberals like you, Fluffy and others here. Let’s see how CNN and MSNBC (or even ABC, CBS and NBC) handle it.

She should probably wear 25% of the makeup 45 wears to cover the ugly, otherwise your comment would just be misogynistic, aina?

And yes, she should be called out for this, held accountable and apologize.....and if her points of view remain the same she should be ousted.

Of course she should wear a mask.

And the comments about Pelosi's looks were juvenile and uncalled for.
