Here’s another clip of a woman reading Trump’s words verbatim from a recent rally in Mississippi that puts a giant magnifying glass over how gone he is cognitively and unfit he is for office.

If you celebrated the last Chargers win by having sex with your wife she would’ve had the baby by now
The Chargers are the last remaining winless team in the NFL as of October 25th. No wins in 308 days, currently slotted in with the #1 overall pick in the draft.

I held a public town hall in Oakley this afternoon. People gave up part of their weekend to come, and they brought their questions with them. 603 days ago, Roger Marshall held a town hall in Oakley. He called the crowd one of the rudest audiences he’d ever had, ended the event early, and walked out. He hasn't held one since. Later he said town halls like this had become “non-productive” and “dangerous.” I don’t believe that. I looked out at that room today and saw good, hardworking people concerned about important issues. Farmers worried about the cost of diesel and fertilizer. Parents trying to figure out how they’ll pay for health care. Neighbors looking out for families who are struggling to put food on the table. We didn’t agree on everything, but we had an honest conversation about how I’ll fight for them in Washington. That’s what this job is, and Kansans deserve a senator who stays and listens. Thank you, Oakley. – AH

Cam Skattebo getting called for unnecessary roughness as the BALL CARRIER is wild. You’ve got 11 dudes coming downhill with bad intentions trying to put you on the ground. But when you truck somebody in the hole, it’s a penalty? Nah, that ain’t it.

ProPublica: Ken Paxton Says He’s Tough on Crime. His Trust Invested $600,000 in a Convicted Fraudster’s Company. The blind trust’s investment in Wildcatter offers a new, unreported look at the attorney general’s financial ties with the very type of business executives whose prosecutions he typically celebrates. propublica.org/article/ken-p…

And now a third TX Sheriff says he never endorsed Abbott. I guess losing campaigns make up endorsements.
A second Democratic sheriff on @GregAbbott_TX’s endorsement list says he did not endorse the governor. Val Verde Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez’s statement:
