Monitoring of menstrual records: seriously.
Since when have menstrual records been a thing, not least a matter of public record.

I assume they can get the data from period tracking apps.

That sounds creepy enough for Space Karen to get involved with

Small confession here. I may be starting to develop a crush on Kamala. A fine lookin' woman.

"PILF", as we call her in this house.

I hope the P is for politician.

Must admit, I jumped straight in with “P” for President

Inspiring someone three years older than me is bringing youthful energy to the campaign. I almost have a spring in my step.

Harris has named Tim Walz of Minnessota as her running mate.

Is he Josh Shapiro from the future, traveling back in time to bag the VP job?

I like the cut of Walz's jib from what I've seen of him.

For some reason, Trump has spent a lot of resources trying to flip Minnesota to no avail. Walz seems like an impressive governor who can rise above party political hullabaloo.

Trump came unexpectedly close in Minnesota in 2016. I don't think he even campaigned there properly. So it might be memory of that. But he's not going to win it this time.

I’d hoped for Pete Buttigieg (who has got to be a future President), but Walz is very popular, really competent and incredibly likeable and affable. As the ‘Biden’ on the ticket, I think he’s a great pick.

Minnesota is to the Republicans what Texas is to the Democrats they seem to think they can win yet it always somehow disappoints them.

The fact that Trump and his deranged supporters are now throwing everything they have got at Waltz it would suggest that they know he is a serious threat to them. The Democrats now have a charismatic and energetic Presidential candidate and a rock solid Vice Presidential candidate who has an impeccable military record, the Republican's have a a weird Presidential candidate who dodged military service and an equally weird vice presidential candidate. Let battle commence.

Not weird at all.

It’s very a credible ticket and I think the last thing the Dems wanted to do was start arguments with itself which I feel Shapiro might have ended up doing.

Very much the Biden of the ticket

I see Trump has absolutely lost his fucking mind then. If he wasn’t a boneheaded egomaniac sociopath I’d swear this was deliberate and he’s throwing to lose. Because whatever the hell that press conference was supposed to be, it was just an absolute gift to the Dem campaign.

Sounds so bad his polling will plummet from 48 to 47%.

If that’s all that happens, I’ll take it. Every single digit he drops is a step towards a safer world.
