I just want to point out that Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner, a self-described "progressive prosecutor" and proponent of the Philly motto "Fuck around and find out," also has something to do with you guys. (My pal Conover wrote about him a few days ago.)

Only a Trumper would try to explain to the author that her book was actually about Islam and not Christianity, and therefore presumably could never happen here.

If you think about it, Jimmy Dave Vance has all the makings of a Stephen King character. What if he has a different psychotic personality for every one of his names?
Born James Donald Bowman. Then he was James David Hamel. Now he's JD Vance, the nakedly ambitious man who's trying desperately to grab the Trump mantle for himself in the final hours of a gasping campaign.
Our message to Kamala Harris is simple.
Whether Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris or her Republican challenger former President Donald Trump is elected the 47th President of the United States is widely expected to come down to seven key swing states—Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada—as Harris and Trump race to the magic number of 270 electoral votes (a simple majority) in the Electoral College.
