I think tonight that we will not
Find either candidate completely caught
Though it would be fun
To hear a least one
Pithy, pointed and sharp bon mot

if she has any sort of health episode, coughing, stumbling, weird eye movements, it will have an impact, and 90 min is a long time in her physical state to stave everything off... A+++

Now I am armed for the debate! LOL Good video.

Just spent two agonizing hours getting my car inspected and the oil changed. It’s a REAL redneck place as the only bathroom is a porta-potty outside in the cold! I knew I was in trouble when the office girl called someone and asked “Where’s my oil?”...then told them she would come get it herself if necessary. At that point, I chose to use the outhouse. OMG, it’s chilly today! So very glad to be home now.

I love bon mots, especially the chocolate-covered ice cream kind.

there were girls in tank tops and shorts when we were up there last weekend! I meant to tell you I wore the shirt you found for me the I MARRIED INTO THIS, and it was a HUGE hit, especially in the bookstore, they called other employees over to see it. I directed them to the website and said they should sell them!

my SIL sent me this vid demonstrating cogswheel rigidity. Reminds me of how she was jerking prior to falling into the van on 9/11.

The debate becomes more enjoyable if you remove anxiety from the equation. Again I ask: …if candidate Donald Trump showed up to the debate in 6″ stilettos a Carmen Miranda hat and began twerking the lectern of Hillary Clinton would it change your vote? See, there’s nothing to lose

LMAO

That sounds fun! I have a t-shirt that says “Shopping is my Cardio” and it never fails to get comments. Folks stop me on the street to say they like it. It’s getting a bit worn, but it’s still in the rotation.

I’m going to a debate watching party with the local Republican Club. Hubby is out of town on biz-ness. I’ll have to buy my own drink in a bar — first time in nearly 60 years! For me it’ll be strictly non-alcoholic, but I may have to re-think that, depending on how the event proceeds!

we are going to a Senate fundraiser and then a debate watching party at the Capitol Hill club. Better to be with the like minded that at home I think. I will not waste carbs on alcohol, I prefer them in a dessert if I am having any at all!

I have Bible study tonight and will rush home to watch the debate. I cannot wait! I am invested more than I expected to be at this point. Go Trump! Fail Hillary!

Hillary is just stuck into
Being bitchy in every way
Her unpleasant disposition
Is there on any given day

A bon mot or other remark
That has been scripted falls
On the ears with a grating
That echoes off the walls

When she is finger pointing
And screeching at you and me
Channeling Bill-then the real
Hillary Clinton is what you see...

Is that what she is doing, channeling Bill? LMAO It’s an epic fail. He at least, had liberal charisma, she does not. Even the libs don’t like her. Latest polls show a real lack of enthusiasm for her. Trump, on the other hand, has devoted followers. I think she calls them deplorables, but they are loyal and enthusiastic. Good poem.

If queen Hillary really is recovering from pneumonia, taking all those antibiotics, etc-which I do not believe at all-there is no way she would have the stamina for 90 minutes of on-stage activity at this time-I still believe she is abusing antidepressants and other psychotropic drugs, and probably drinks heavily, too-inevitably that combination of substances will cause physical and mental problems-her behavior looks erratic already-I think she’s going psycho...
