I agree, Joe.

Thank you, Mary 💙.

I pray all this comes about safely. I'm worried! He's discretely doing something sinister. I feel it in his outbursts, his little jabs, his innuendo. Something is definitely up. I wouldn't put anything past him. I'm Canadian, and I've been following the news that's involved him since before 2016. He's got it in for Justin Trudeau, our Prime Minister. I'm sure he's on Trumpee's list.

Trump is jealous of any man who is smarter, better looking and a greater person than he and of course your Justin Trudeau is just that.

I admire Justin Trudeau. I have only been to Canada once when I was a small child and maybe I can return someday soon.

This is why he selected Vance for his VP. He wanted someone who seemed attractive and smart because he went to Ohio State with a degree in Political Science and Philosophy and later went to Yale Law School where he earned a Juris Doctor degree. He then gave them the big FU when he remarked in a campaign speech saying Yale as an enemy. Vance also served in Iraq as a military journalist, but never saw combat. But, hey, that was more than Donald's draft dodging, at least. Donald was projecting Vance's accomplishments onto himself. Narcissists, like Trump, only want to keep company with people who make THEM look good, as though he's looking in a mirror. I doubt Donald admires Vance's accomplishments - they just make him look better in the eyes, especially his meager beginnings. He makes them more relatable to his middle class supporters.

Fellow Canadian here, and we, too, have an ominous sense that what happened on January 6 will happen again...only worse. And the ripple effect will be enormous. Harris/Walz have to win - preferably with a sizeable majority.

He is the sneakiest most obviously underhanded individual who ever became a president. Plus, I detest him for favoring those who are antisemites. And that's just the start of my list. Oh, please, PLEASE pray that this monster never ever gets behind that DESK!

I, too, am concerned re: shenanigans, dirty tricks and the like. I read an article in The New Republic today that has given me serious pause. I know you’re Canadian, not sure how much you might follow our Supreme Court stuff (or not). Link is below if you have an interest in reading about some loopholes. I also hope for safety of all involved.

We ALL KNOW he's up to no good! They already have plans to disrupt and they haven't even lost yet!

Something is most assuredly up. It’s been an ongoing coup here for years putting this Extreme Court in place with Holy Mike as Speaker. We are going to witness a Harris/Walz win with complete distortion of “election fraud” claimed by MAGA to toss the election to the House and Court. I am completely expecting this Venezuela moment for the Untied States of America. Nov 5th is going to stretch into Jan. Brace yourselves for a long haul. MAGAts will not take “no” for an answer.

The plan is to throw it to the House, where each state votes as a bloc. All the ways Texas suppresses the vote mean that we’re certain to vote for the wannabe dictators as if the state collectively decided that.

He still will not go away.

I think with several jail sentences waiting for him, he will be moving to Venezuela where they have no extradition treaty with the US.

One can only hope, even though I want to see him face real justice here at home.

Oh, lordy, PLEASE make that true! What a relief it would be to be rid of him for good!

Expand full comment

He will try not to go away, but his brain is failing fast. Trumpism will hang around longer, but there is no real successor to Donald, and we will wash it into oblivion over the next few years. JD Vance is a no go from the start...no personality, no plans for Amercians.....

If he doesn't win, he will go to jail. He has sentencing for the 34 convictions in November. Jack Smith has a well thought out and overwhelming evidence for the Jan 6 trial and I think he will be found guilty. I also think there is more to investigate of illegal activity in this election. But losing to a black woman, for him, will be what destroys him mentally once and for all

You are so right!!! Your uncle is the real “garbage man”! No disrespect to the real waste management personnel, but he is vile, narcissistic, misogynistic, nasty, and all the unhealthy words that I can think of that I cannot post in order to make sure that we never see your uncle again in politics, we must vote BLUE all the way down the ticket!!!

Expand full comment

He’s the garbage collector. At the back is his MAGAs. Makes perfect sense and is probably the most truthful thing Trump has done in his entire life.

Trump is RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT and has called those of us supporting his opponent, "garbage", "evil", "sick" and more. He's threatening us with the US military, which is illegal.

MAGAs need to shut up about Biden. No one with an once of sense doesn't see their hypocrisy!

When facts don’t dictate your thought, and the lies of a single individual do, you’re in a cult. The Republican party no longer exists, it is simply the MAGA cult.

That's why I enjoy wearing these kinds of shirts in front of Trumpers 👇

What Donald said about Harris's people being 'scum' and 'garbage', he's talking about the half of us who don't take sustenance out from his backside, the grossest insult to Americans' intelligence. His rhetoric has hit absolute zero.

Global Pain —

Global Suicide occurs ongoing and becomes particularly high when human beings, so distraught by depravity and selective social justice INEQUITIES, reach the point of hopelessness.

When my older Sister died by suicide it was toxemia from drinking cleaning fluids 20 years AFTER our Father raped her (it was not the 1st time). He killed her gentle, 11 yr-old spirit. It was 1968; I woke up in the middle of the night to see his body, fully naked and planked out over her. He was moaning. She was listless. I was almost 9 years old. I told my Mother what I saw. It was confirmed later at the hospital. At the police station my mother took us out of there after about 30 minutes of painful questioning. My father received no consequence.

Suicide is a heart attack of the soul, aching to be free of a pain that can’t be erased or well-managed. I miss you, Jenny.

PLEASE, America, STOP RAPE & Sexual Assault culture!

Amend Presidential Eligibility —

No sexual predators (Trump & Billy on the Access Hollywood Bus Tape) need apply.

Leave it to you , Mary, to lead a lesson for those “professionals” in the corporate media in grammar, punctuation in the English language and how to be thorough when doing their jobs. If they haven’t learned that by now it’s a little late for that now. Fortunately the election is almost here and they can’t do much more damage because 1) voting has already begun and 2) you progressives in the media are calling out EVERY time they mislead the rest of us that are paying attention. You are doing yeoman’s work during this election! Thank you!

Expand full comment

In regards to the voting has already begun, there was some good news reported on Twitter by Morgan Freeman. The swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are currently showing a substantial lead by the Harris Walz ticket. We can't get complacent here but those early results are very encouraging. One again, the media fails to do its job by not reporting newsworthy info like this but instead opting to focus on a warped candidate in a garbage truck. That stumbling could've all been avoided had he used a forklift.

Trump’s MAGA supporters are, at best, immune to his felonious, treasonous, racist, fascist, misogynistic, hateful ways. At worst, they subscribe to the same. The press makes a meal of Biden’s mistakes, but tell me WHEN will Trump ever get beaten up by the press for being the traitorous Putin-loving Nazi national security risk and convicted criminal that he is?

I heard Sen.Warnock,GA, say, and I paraphrase his remarks, Trump is a plague on the country and all of us need time to heal from the woundedness created by this plague. A powerful step towards that healing is to vote for Freedom. He compared our vote to a prayer for the healing of our nation.

His words made an impact on me and Thought Mary's people on here would resonate to the truth of this message.

"He seemed very off-balance; he missed the door handle three times; his left hip glitched; and he dragged his right foot. Once he did get the door open, it almost hit him, and he was barely able to drag himself up into the passenger seat."

Speaking as a video producer who has been behind-the-scenes on hundreds of productions over 40 years, generally if one take is bad, the Director of Photography will go for a second take or a third. Can you imagine the other takes that led them to go with this one as the best take?

Also, somebody could have thought to put an apple box there for the guy to step up on and climb into the cab more easily.

Sometimes I think there's someone on his "team" who has guided him into all these strange stunts recently that backfire for the Republicans and favor the Democrats. We'll take all the "handicaps" we can get.

How a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist can be veering so close to our nuclear codes again - it's astounding and says so much about the baked-in misogyny here in the good old USA. (For anyone who doesn't know what the word "misogyny" means, it's a hatred of women.)

I know he doesn't drink, but there is such a thing as a "dry drunk", and he has been on a bender! Seriously, his brain has been overtaxed by all the lies he's told over his lifetime and it's about to explode. He comes from alcoholism in the family and he's fought his predisposition to drink, but it can assert itself with alcoholic behavior without picking up a glass.

She gives us hope for keeping the freedoms we still have

He's the one that took them away and bragged about it

She understands real people

He doesn't understand anything.

She comes from a middle class background

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth

She wants to help us be a nation that is united

He wants to keep us divided

She cares about other people

He only cares about himself

Who will you choose

I don't think it's a hard choice

Face it, his supporters are garbage. Racist and ignorant people who won’t change the channel off FAUX NEWS for another point of view. They brashly display testicles hanging from their trucks, the silhouettes of women with large breasts, “F*ck Biden” signs everywhere. Children see these things every day. It’s disgusting, and as Hillary said, it’s deplorable. Now some of his supporters are setting fire to drop boxes, destroying other’s votes. And they don’t see anything wrong with the things they do. And what’s to come will be far worse. They refuse to accept that tRump might lose. One said he will win all 50 states. Anything less will be cheating by the Democrats, they say. And they are prepping for another January 6. Garbage and deplorable adults who act like a bunch of whiny children!

I kept hoping to read (though obvi to no avail) an editorial regarding what your uncle hoped to accomplish by slapping his campaign sticker on the side of a garbage truck. After all, doesn't that send the message that the campaign is indeed nothing but a garbage collecting device? And that everyone involved is simply garbage being taken out?

That's the message I got from it. And if you want to know how people felt about that garbage headline on the story in the Post, just go read the comments section online.
