KAMALA RAISES $223,000 A MINUTE. In memory of Minet. Tue.Countdown Pod: https://tinyurl.com/2cc3bmt9

Oh, nothing. Kamala Harris only raised $223,000 a MINUTE or $13,380,000 an hour in her first 24 hours as the Democratic presidential candidate-presumptive and will only rap up the pledged delegates by today or tomorrow and has already opened her campaign five points closer to Trump than any other Democrat.

And as somebody mentioned (cough; cough cough) Friday it turns out if President Biden had not seen the wisdom of the choice and bowed out before the new week started Nancy Pelosi was ready to go public - with polling. And now, everybody's together again and everybody's endorsed here and even that moron Manchin has gotten out of the way and the only question is where in town do you want YOUR Joe Biden statue to be.

ON THE OTHER HAND Trump intends to sue. Somebody. Maybe Hannibal Lecter. The man who is suddenly history's oldest presidential candidate wants to be reimbursed and the debate moved and they want to force Biden to stay in the race AND resign as president and don't you know Trump was shot with a wadded up piece of gum so you must defer to him.

If there's anything more delightful than watching Trump implode because it never occurred to him the other side had better tactics, it's watching Hannity complain that Kamala Harris has a funny laugh when... shoot... who has ever actually heard Trump laugh? Like a person?

There's a lot to go through, including the reminder that if you're worried about this nation's racism and its misogyny: in the last four US elections: we have elected a man of color president, then re-elected him, then a woman candidate won the popular vote, and most recently, a woman of color was elected VP defeating a ticket led by racist incumbent

Assume nothing. But - Excelsior!

AND IN MEMORY OF MINET: I'm a little unfocused today and when I get unfocused I get verbose because I'm ad libbing. And if you didn't see it on social media, my extraordinary 17-year old rescue pup, Minet, died Sunday just six days after hitting that amazing milestone of longevity. If you've been scared off adopting a senior dog or even a geriatric one, please listen to Minet's story and how much he gave me - and consider getting one yourself!

So sorry to hear about your dear companion Minet. My first-ever dog, Django, was a beagle who lived to be just about 17 also. I will never get over that sweet girl of mine.

Bless you Keith for caring and sharing about your senior furbaby! Thank you!

I’m so sorry for your loss Keith. U were a great dog Dad. I too rescued a senior dog a few years back. Poor guy had been living in an outdoor pin at a rescue for 8 years. He was a big pit bull mix & just wanted to go on car rides so I drove him around everyday for a year & a half. Sadly he only lived that long after getting a raw disease. I am with you everyone should rescue a senior rescue dog and give them some type of happiness at the end of their life. Hugs!

I'm so sorry Keith about your beloved dog. My ❤ goes out 2 you at this horrible time.

[Bored_Barbarian]

adopted a 10 year old chihuahua in 2022. He turns 12 this fall.

He’s my first pup and so perfect. Got him meds for his joints and he’s on a special kidney diet now, but it’s like only $5 more a month than the old food.

I hope he’s still around in 5 years as well, and I know your pup loved you too ❤️🫂

[andreaperry]

I love your dog stories. You tell them with perfect recall. I've been crying a lot today, I will have to wait until tomorrow to listen.
Remember the love Keith. ❤️
