I know. Nothing stresses me out more than weighing mice

Yeah. I was in Hawaii when 9/11 happened, and of course all flights at the time were canceled for days. It wasn't a bad place to be stuck for a little while, but even that short of a delay in returning did cause a few issues.

We had a Saudi prince in custody?

That's a weird thing to say

While this can't be the only line of attack, it is a good one. Already, Trump seems to be having difficulty attacking Harris, as he has to work to continually suppress saying the most racist and sexist things he can think of. Imagine if he has to react to the 'weird' criticism by continually, on the fly, suppress some of his stranger speaking topics too. I'm guessing the mental load of doing that might put an amusing amount of strain on the old man. Imagine Trump, if the rallies weren't fun for him anymore. How's he going to recharge that narcissistic brain of his?

He has a platform. He needs repercussions.

I'm not sure why the senate shouldn't subpoena him, and have him appear before them to explain just what he means by this. He wouldn't show, of course, and end up in contempt of congress. Of course, this would make him even more popular with his cult, but we already know who they'll vote for.

Really, he keeps doing shit that would get anyone else arrested. It's time to arrest him.

the margin of his election was thin enough that not trampling over the progressive side of the party would have kept him out of office

There, see. There's the fault in your argument. The Democratic party can't seem to stop trampling over progressives

It is an often used and well known colloquialism

It is a bastardization of a well known colloquialism

To a non US English speaker it would understandably sound strange

To English speakers who've heard it and have given it any thought, it just sounds careless, or stupid

If someone were to point out something like this to me, I'd just say "oops", learn from it, and move on. I wouldn't double down on it. It's like defending 'would of', or 'supposably' - obvious mishearings of other words. People know what you mean; it is just that you are also telling them something you probably don't mean to.

Ha! According to the supreme court, Biden could explain all of this to Johnson and the rest of the republicans using guns.

If you can care less, why mention it? It is an empty statement, supporting nothing. It has no rhetorical impact at all, except that reinforces the idea in your audience that you haven't even a good grasp of the language you are using.
