Okay. This is off topic but I’m really enjoying reading Kitchen Arabic Joe. I keep picturing your five-year-old self with the face you have now.

And let’s go and win this election!

Thanks for the great conversation. I enjoyed the joy of the convention.

I am on Team Fern when it comes to her conspiracy theory. I thought the very same thing. The timing was impeccable. The Biden/Harris team played that “orangeatan” and it was so much fun to watch!

I think Trump has given up working to win the election and he's moving onto plan "B", claiming it was stolen. Problem is, if you can't steal it as President there's hardly a chance in hell that you can do it challenging the party in power.

Interesting theory. Gotta admit, the timing was really good. That would really be something if Biden snookered everyone. The hole in the theory is I don’t think Biden would intentionally humiliate himself like that at the debate when he’s the leader of the free world. And, he’s not that good of an actor. Regardless, I’m glad you’re feeling better. You’re not alone.

There are millions of Americans who have had the same depression and now share the same hope as you. It's difficult to reason with or overcome a cult. My Sunbelt state is hopeless but maybe, just maybe, Iowa can return to being "Iowa Nice".

I love this and you two.

Yes. And their timing was impeccable!

Honestly. I can't tell if Fern is serious about the conspiracy theory. It really does kind of make sense--I mean, it made for a smooth transition, didn't it (versus a primary, which could have gotten messy). But if the debate was an act, then Biden deserves an academy award!

I am kinda serious. I mean the perfect turnout -- makes sense, no? And nothing illegal about it.
