Some of you know that I have a connection with Doc's. 

Add to the discussion the number of businesses that closed doors for the week.  I office in the US Bank tower and everything is either closed or limited.  The bank branch itself is closed for the week.  The Courthouse is working on zoom, but no trials.

I'm a bit of a political junkie, and I believe it's important to know what's going on. So yes I watched some. Couldn't watch anywhere near all because there's just too much, but I watched several recaps of the "highlights."

Correct. It's nowhere near equivalent.

Hmm, lying to USA public for four years on Joe's cognitive state, doesn't seem to be anything serious.

Sorry, I knew Sir Larry posted about Doc's --- i didn't realize he linked the article. My bad.

And honest Joe?
Did it break the counter?
Or maybe to be political correct we don't do that for people that are mentally handicapped.

Oh, he's nowhere near that number.  Don't be silly.

Keep lying to yourself that they are both the same if it makes you feel better.  Maybe go waste some of your money at a gaudy second-rate "resort"

Tell us again how your dream is to hang out with a convicted rapist. Love to hear how your Marquette education led you there.

You kids may have to find something else to argue about.

Oh I have no doubt they're coming up with all kinds of nasty b.s. to spread about any of the contenders to replace Biden.  That's what they do.

Mr. Trump's favorite book is the Bible.  There hasn't been a point in his life where the teachings of it haven't guided his decision making.

It's refreshing as an evangelical Christian to have the faith and belief in a man who has lead his life on the teachings of Christ and the Holy Father lead our country.

A man of no avarice, lust, greed or narcissism is what we need at the moment.  We need a man of faith, a man who lives the faith.  Mr. Trump is that man.

Very nice of Barrack.

Cognitive decline, you say?

Thanks, worth a chuckle.

People who were so receptive of a Kenyan Muslim in the White House are now freaking the F out about a true man of god getting a second chance 🤨

The best part of that take was the same people who were convinced he was Muslim were the same that were unbelievably outraged by his pastor's (admittedly terrible) remarks. So he was one of those Muslims that are loyal to African American baptist churches!

Good news.  Sounds like downtown business was much healthier the last two days.  Hopefully, that alleviated the stress of the first few days.

Wondering if more people came into town for the big speakers.

Makes sense.  My guess is locals also figured out how to navigate the security perimeter to get back downtown

Let's see now -- there's that commandment against coveting thy neighbor's wife.

There's that commandment against lying.

There's that commandment against false Gods.

There's Jesus' admonition to "love thy neighbor as thyself."

I do not understand why Evangelical Christians could ever support the current Republican nominee.

The nominee's actions are a walking, talking permanent advertisement for Satanical virtue. If you really want to evaluate a person on adherence to Biblical and Christian principles, Barack Obama is your guy. He's faithful to his wife, he's a good father who was active in his children's lives, he was respectful of his elders and even had his mother-in-law living with him in the White House. His actions, however you politically feel about President Obama, were in keeping with Jesus' teachings of feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, caring for the sick etc.

If you don't like President Obama, there's always President Carter, who was the living, breathing embodiment of Christian virtue.

Look, frequent Scoopers know I'm no great lefty. I'm what George H.W. Bush once called a compassionate conservative. In that vein, I have no use for a man whose primary campaign weapon is ridicule, distortion and fear-mongering. I try to take my Christianity seriously and while I don't always succeed, the virtue is in doing you best for God and your fellow man. The Republican nominee clashes with every single Christian teaching I ever learned.

That's why I hate this election so much. The other guy -- or gal depending on what the Democrats do -- hardly excites me either.
