I go with 'both'. MAGA, aka the Great Unwashed, are the result of a deficient education system that does not teach civics, history or critical thinking skills. I have seen interviews recently that MAGAts are voting for the felon because his win would 'own the libs'. They seem to believe that a Trump administration's policies, e.g. mass deportation of brown and black people won't include them. Polls show a sizeable number of Latin American men intend to vote for the Donvict! When the knock on the door comes, screaming "But I voted for Trump!" won't make a damn bit of difference. If you're brown. there's a high chance you're going to a concentration camp, and proving your citizenship may take a while-if ever. It has happened before, in the Eisenhower administration.
AI is already very dangerous. Want an angry mob like MAGA. Just use AI algorithms that maximize time on a platform to maximize ad revenue. That would be send titles to click that stimulate fear uncertainty doubt and anger.
Want to punish all US critics of Trump. Even easier AI can automate the identify of folks who want fishing lures or skin cream. Easy to use the same SW to identify and punish Trump critics. Trump stated he would punish critics, but you didn’t know that was aimed at 100s of million US citizens. All dictators focus on controlling thoughts of US citizens. Once identified how to punish? Simple just bar them from US banks. Easy if you have president immunity and declare any criticism as a risk to US.
If Trump’s AI savvy Oligarchs Peter Thiel and Elon Musk want to push AI control of US thoughts, easy. They own AI resources.
Is there a god? If so, which religion is the one he really is there for? We don't know and the preachers are just earning their keep by saying whatever they think the flock will believe. Religion is the opiate of the masses. I learned that in high school.
This election answers a fundamental question about who we are as a nation. If felon Donald is re-elected, everything will change.
We will no longer be a nation of equal justice for all.
You can remove the tablet from the Statue of Liberty. The idea of liberty only applies to the rich, the white, and males. Women will become second-class citizens.
We will abandon our allies and embrace authoritarian dictatorships.
In short, we will have become the antithesis of the ideals upon which this country was created!
I can't wait to celebrate Harris/Walz epic victory wearing this totally unhinged radical liberal t-shirt on November 5th 👇
With all the negative publicity why are so many people still voting for him? Do they not believe this is possible or do they hope it will happen? It boggles one’s mind.
There are also ppl who say (basically) they don’t care if he’s a dictator as long as “(fill in the blank here)”. It’s hard to imagine they will vote for crazy because they believe he will fix whatever is wrong or what they don’t like about their lives.
A lot of them don’t even see the negative publicity thanks to the disinformation peddled by the ‘media’. As Jesse Waters says on Fox, it’s Trump country there.
I've read online answers to that very question. Ranging from, "Oh he talks a good game but doesn't really mean it!" Another frequent one is, "You're being silly! Congress is there to rein him in."(Foolish remark considering he will just override any of the branches.) Then there really are those who believe we NEED a leader who has an authoritarian manner to 'straighten this country out by G*d!'
They think that if they are with him, he will help them in some/any way. They will be DUMBfounded when he does NOTHING for them. They believe he us just being 'funny', 'a smart-alec' etc with his comments. They are SO wrong.
And this is just the beginning…. I still have to ask. “ how did this happen? Have we totally been asleep.?” This is like not noticing your teenager is on drugs!!
Partially in just my opinion, the media scored big time. All of them. Eyeballs 24/7 = big $$$ ( following that madman and his GOP cohorts, corrupt to the core ) The horror was normalized. $$$$ big money. His contempt for the law. Impeached twice and no conviction….. His despicable rallies. And we feel for it. His bizarre ways. All of it. No talk about how many people he stiffed. In business. Six bankruptcies after inheriting $400 million? Who does that? Thankfully some journalists DID DO A THOROUGH JOB LOVE NICCOLE WALLACE, msnbc. Jo and Mika. Reverend Al. Rachel Maddow, Ali Velshi…..
We all hope so and work for it, Joe. If he does turn to our military, I’m confident there are many more John Kelly officers in our armed forces than cultists willing to listen to the fat pig.
Mary, I'm terrified. What about his followers who believe as he who will be on the streets and pissed if he doesn't win? Is America going to be provided the protection needed to keep us out of harm's way? I love my county and wish I was much younger so that I could do more physically but that ain't in the cards for me. I can only pray and babble. Thank God there are other babblers that you have gathered together. We enjoy each other, I think. At least I hope so. So, for now, HAPPY HALLOWEEN and don't eat too much candy.

I hope many of you are watching the CNN Town Hall in PA. Trump declined to participate. VP Harris is doing a masterful job of answering audience questions. And I’d guess that Donald couldn’t handle this type of event and give the kinds of responses she’s giving. And Anderson Cooper, the moderator, is doing an excellent job after fleshing out some of her answers. GREAT QUESTIONS! EXCELLENT ANSWERS. KAMALA HARRIS IS THE ONE!
This may actually reflect how low Trump's support is. Everytime he opens his mouth, he permenantly looses some of his base. All the swing states are so tied right now that Harris or Trump either can win by 500 votes. Harris isn't loosing voters. She is gaining new ones at each of her rallies. Trump can't afford to even lose 50 of them. So, he's not appearing in any debates. Normally, the two weeks before an election is where you want to show up at all debates to prevent your opposition from running away to the finish line.
Did I Read that Right?... DJT has been caught on Camera Molesting A Minor? If True, DJT will lose some Votes.... Sadly not all of DJT's Votes... If this Incident is True, DJT is Melting-Down Faster...
If this is true, there should be charges filed and an arrest made. Said another way, the parents of the minor who was groped should stand up for their kid and press charges against a pedophile. This will mean they have to choose between protecting their own child or confronting their deeply flawed mental construct around donald. May never happen. But the press can cover it and should. They should either confirm that it happened or prove that it didn’t. They owe that to everyone… the minor, djt and us.
Then I ask: Why was Donald Trump nominated as a presidential candidate at all, when he has a criminal record, has been convicted, has a long list of investigations behind him and still has more to come?
Donald Trump is a very bad criminal!
Why do you Americans allow someone like that to run as a candidate at all? I'll probably never understand that, because we already know from previous years what makes this man tick.
He's a nasty racist, thinks dictators are great and now these confused Austrians, who are supposed to have done good things - if you listen to Donald Trump ramble on like that.
So why didn't anyone stop this candidacy? It can't be true that we now have to seriously wait and see how the election turns out. If Trump wins, what can be done to stop him?
Here in Europe, we have Turkish President Erdogan, who allegedly thwarted a coup years ago and less than 24 hours later had a list of over 6,000 people who were allegedly behind the coup. These included politicians, judges, public prosecutors and many others. But they had one thing in common: none of them had voted for Erdogan for president!
And the way I see it, the USA could experience something similar with Donald Trump if we are not careful.
Kamala Harris is not allowed to pardon him if she wins, but has him committed to a clinic where he must be locked away for the rest of his life to protect the population.
Is this true? Has anyone confirmed this? OMG! If this is true it should be announced to the World!!! Please let it be true. I won't be able to sleep tonight. This disgusting pig?
On Epstein’s island, he tied then-13-year-old Katie Johnson to a bed and then brutally raped her. You can find a video of her testifying on YT & transcript of said testimony on the internet.
Trump knows he had his ass handed to him in the last debate and didn't want to risk another shellacing. He talks like a mob boss but has the backbone of a an amoeba. We can only hope that we will make that shellacing happen at the polls and put him back on trial where he belongs.
Amoebas were many times more intelligent than Donald Trump and survived for a very long time. To call Trump an amoeba would be an insult to all amoebas; I would like to apologize to all amoebas for that.
I sincerely hope that Donald Trump loses big and never appears as a candidate again!
Here in Germany you don't get any sensible information about the actual poll results. Yesterday it was said here that Harris and Trump are tied; that's frightening.
Let them and in future keep the poor animals out of it, because not a single life form is lower than that of Donald Trump!
Now that the event is over, the CNN crew is nitpicking many of Harris’s responses and style. The Republican guy is so hypercritical that it defies reality. I almost choked at Dana’s comment which I believe is a result of her own bad experience interviewing her. And unfortunately only one person mentioned that Trump was a no-show or how he would have responded to the questions that were posed to VP Harris. Also, in terms of the question of style, none mentioned, that I recall, that she’s only been at this for exactly three months and hasn’t had the luxury or opportunity to hone her skills. And I felt at the end of the program when she approached a few of the people in the audience was golden. It would be nice to see exchanges like that in her advertising so that voters can understand that she really cares about us.
I couldn't watch the debate as we don't have cable TV. But I watched the updates as they came through. Yes, she was indeed masterful in her answers but why, still, is she being held to a higher mark than Trump? Even Dana Bash said, "Oh she missed an opportunity to say she supports the border wall." Did Bash even listen to Harris' answer? The wall is only a tiny, tiny part of immigration and yes, I know what I am talking about as an immigrant myself, living in a border town with family and friends in Border Patrol. When the Donald came and posed in front of the rusting wall down here at Naco several weeks ago it was pathetic. Claimed the rusty deteriorating part was Harris' wall although the Biden administration didn't build any more walls, simply closed large gaps in fencing in Yuma, which happens to be, oh, about 312 miles away. As Harris said, Trump's wall project was an expensive joke and all you have to do is read "Trump Wall" on Wikipedia to get the facts about that.
It was another one of his grifts, people sent money to build that wall, the first contractor was fired for his sticky fingers. Bannon benefitted. Another case of golden sneakers.
Cheetolini is only viable in Potemkin McDonal’s photo ops, or Georgian Potemkin town hall events where the “audience” are hand selected cultists with pre-approved questions, and his legendary verbal incoherent weave, perhaps his recognitive nod to the artificiality of whatever that thing that disguises his bald pate, is edited
into a mild semblance of coherency. He is the cardboard cutout that was displayed at Trump University where students could take selfies with it; a truly emblematic display of his lifelong grift.
I'm betting that the buses for the Coachella rally didn't show up because the bus provider wanted payment upfront, he knew that Trump stiffs everyone. He didn't let himself get ripped off.
Can you imagine if the Orange Blimp had been there? How he’d turn EVERY. GD. SINGLE. ANSWER. INTO. A. WHATABOUTME. RESPONSE. And glower. And cast nasty things. And lies!!!
Thank you, Mary, for continuing to pound away at your loathsome piece of shit uncle. We all have to fight against him and his cult. It is not hyperbole to say the fate of our democracy depends upon it.
If he groped a minor and there's video, let's see it played, the more the better. Groping minors in the homestretch will not help him. I want to see this video asap.
Donald was sued by one of Epstein's sex slaves. She Accused him of brutality, slapping her and telling her to shut the fuck up when she screamed for help. The case is online. It had to be cancelled because her family and her attorneys and their families all received death threats.
Look up Katie Johnson. Trump is accused of raping 13 year- olds. And incidentally Don Jr. I believe just muttered something regarding Trump had something to do with Epstein's death? Google: Trump/Epstein court case (but beware-it's not for the faint of heart)
That's not going to upset those of his Maggots who are doing a lot more than groping with siblings and parents. First it has to be determined what would really upset, shock, enrage them.
What is distressing is that many major newspapers did not put the news of General Kelly's comments on page one, - The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the Detroit Free Press, USA Today. This is journalistic malfeasance. What could be more important than General Kelly (Trump's Chief of Staff') telling the nation that Donald Trump is a fascist two weeks before the election? Anyone who has a subscription to one of these papers should cancel it and should do a letter to the editor.
General John Kelly was Trump's longest serving Chief of Staff. This job entailed being Trump's personal aide, and following Trump wherever he went. So, Kelly was privy to most of Trump's conversations, just by being there.
Trump denied his indifference and disdain for military personnel when reports of it started coming out on CNN. General Kelly wrote a detailed statement to Jake Tapper, that confirmed all the reports were true.
Despite having recieved the statement a year before the Trump/Biden debate, Jake Tapper did not fact check Trump on any of his lies concerning the American armed forces.
Jay Kuo does an extensive write up on John Kelly's testimony, with audio clips of Kelly speaking
I turned off the CNN "panel" critiquing VP Harris' town hall at the point when they said they were going to "fact check" her performance after the next commercial.
Mary, at a certain point right after Biden was elected, General Milley filed paperwork to get a permit to carry a sidearm; in Virginia, a CCW is necessary. I can't imagine what he was aware of and was trying to protect his family from.
The electoral college does not support anything. According to all constitutions, they HAVE to vote based on the election popular vote results in their own state. The election hasn't happened yet.
Why does America still rely on the Electoral Vote? It's not even fair with their number of populations in each State. There's been talk about getting rid of it.
DO IT! That's how Trumpee won in 2016!
And what happened in 2020, Trumpee got fake electorates to overturn those results.
In 2016, Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million votes. However, Hillary lost the Electoral College by 78,000 votes, which allowed Donald to become "president".
The Electoral College elects the president, not the popular vote.
Remember Lafayette Square. Fooled senior leaders including Gen Mark Milley. Turned water hoses on peaceful demonstrators. Held up a Bible when he never goes yo church. Had it upside down and had to correct that when pointed out!
That's because he's the devil and they reverse holy items like the Bible and the Cross. I wasn't religious until Trump showed up, a perfect Anti Christ. Prince of Lies. Conveyor of all 7 Deadly Sins.
I keep saying that too. Believers refuse to believe they are being lead by the Devil. One would think a sane person would just look at his private life behavior and think, yeah he is the Devil. Why would they vote for a man of no morals?
This is just so Bad, Mary, I'm starting to think that your uncle is starting to believe that he's really Hitler?! Could that even be possible, because his rallies, podcast interviews, and language on his Nazi infested Truth Social platform, sure rings true. Thank You for your article this evening and will reStack ASAP💯👍💙🌊 OH I almost forgot to tell you, that I mailed my Mail-in Ballot today here in Oregon, but before I put it in the mail box, I sprayed the envelope with Chanel ®5 for Luck 🤗💋
With all this evidence coming out from everyone in his administration how could anyone vote for this guy? There was a time a guy with his credentials would not have been considered
I felt bad for PeeWee Herman. He was, after all, in an adult theater watching men porn like a lot of people do. Not nearly as awful as what DJT has done over his lifetime. Rape and treachery are his game.
If you're referring to the photo at the top of this column, that's from June 1, 2020 (i.e. it's not Trump's current entourage) -- it was taken as they set out from the White House to Lafayette Park and the church/Bible photo-op. Gen. Milley is in fatigues (the standard on-duty uniform) because as chair of the Joint Chiefs he was the senior military guy on site -- the site being the demonstration (and its clearance w/teargas by Natl. Guard troops) by Black Lives Matter and allied groups in the park and in front of the church.
I voted today in St Louis County, MO. I parked on the road because the parking lot for the library was full. I stood in line around 11:15 am. They call it No Excuse Absentee Voting because the Republican Party is weird (it's actually early voting). It took about an hour standing in a line that was mostly Boomers (I'm 72), mostly white and mostly women. Yesterday was the first day of early voting and the line was even longer; voting workers said it was crowded yesterday and today. We had a long, double-sided ballot with a lot of judges, Amendments and Proposals on it. There is an Amendment to amend the state constitution to basically return the state's abortion law back to what Roe allowed since MO currently has an extreme anti-abortion law. The women standing around me had all filled out their sample ballot ahead of time as I had. St Louis and St Louis County are large Blue dots in a Red state (as is Kansas City, MO and Columbia which is a college town) so I suspect there were a lot of Harris-Walz voters. I only had to drive about 20 minutes or so to get to the library where I was going to vote and, although I grew up in St Louis, I moved away after college but moved back after retiring. I was not familiar with the neighborhoods I drove through and I only saw Harris-Walz signs. We're also trying to get rid of Josh Hawley and his Democratic opponent, Lucas Kunce, is very close in polls. I think women are going to get Harris-Walz to the White House and all the pundits will be surprised because they're mostly men who always underestimate women.
God in heaven Patricia, I hope you are right. In my state - WA - we all vote absentee which is convenient, but I do miss some of the energy at the polling places.
Thank you for telling your story, Patricia. Here in gerrymandered and GOP-controlled legislative, executive and judicial OH, my partner (male) and I voted early on Tuesday. They call it "Absentee Voting" here now, too, even though we went to our county BOE and voted in person. The newly-appointed head of our County BOE is a Republican (appointed by the Secretary of State) and that's who checked us in and gave us our long ballot. We have an anti-gerrymandering amendment on the ballot that our Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, reworded so it appears the amendment is actually for partisan gerrymandering instead of against it. Hopefully, most people already know how they're going to vote going in or if they don't, they won't bother to read the extensive misleading explanation of the amendment that Frank LaRose rewrote for the ballot.
Let's just hope we win by massive numbers on election day. I'm ready for us to get past this idiot. And hopefully he'll be in jail soon.
From your lips to God’s ears.
Fascist doesn't mean anything anymore.
Call him a Nazi
Nazis hate being called Nazis
That's a good idea because Trump's cult doesn't know what fascism is.
Melania’s Catholic cult does. He can ask her. Or he can ask his BFGF Cardi D.
Full agreement here. A nazi he is…
I’d say he’s more Fuhrer than Nazi. Nazi sounds so common…
Also I think most of his followers don’t even know what “Fascist” means. They’re either oblivious or stupid or both.
I go with 'both'. MAGA, aka the Great Unwashed, are the result of a deficient education system that does not teach civics, history or critical thinking skills.

Parochial schools don’t need civics. There is a strong faction in favor of taxpayer support of Catholic, Evangelical, Jewish and Mormon schools.
Oblivious has to many letters for Maggots to read and chaw.

Trump and AI
AI is already very dangerous. Want an angry mob like MAGA. Just use AI algorithms that maximize time on a platform to maximize ad revenue. That would be send titles to click that stimulate fear uncertainty doubt and anger.

Don’t you mean from his thumbs to voters' eyes? God doesn’t vote.
What happened to people’s brains. Can u imagine what the history will write of these imbeciles???💙✌️💙
Revisionist history will make them angels. Or saints. Like Mary the fallen woman now on a pedestal.
Is there a god? If so, which religion is the one he really is there for? We don't know and the preachers are just earning their keep by saying whatever they think the flock will believe. Religion is the opiate of the masses. I learned that in high school.
And Cardi D danced bigly for Trump at the Al Smith roast. Catholics are pimping Trump in order to keep the Benjamins flowing to Catholic Schools.
Trump wants Niña with rulers. So does Cardi D.
Jimmy Kimmel has truly been the greatest medicine 💙

Simply put, Donald IS the Antichrist. He's even warping the God faring people. I don't believe, except I would believe that.

We don't have to win with massive number just as long as we win. And, put the Sludge where he will be out o sight!

I think it's part of their 2025 plan.
Good, but, he's no better
Absolutely, he's not.
It won’t matter. The cult will justify it, blame Biden/Obama/Hilllary and then send him money.
On Epstein’s island, he tied then-13-year-old Katie Johnson to a bed and then brutally raped her. You can find a video of her testifying on YT & transcript of said testimony on the internet.
Given the Orange Predator's history of many, many sexual assaults, I hope I am wrong, but I don't believe it will make a damn bit of difference.
He has already done worse and found guilty so what’s new? I deplore pedos but his base thinks nothing of it. Sad.
I don’t see him debasing his base.
He does that every day in every way and especially with his rhetoric. He insults them with his very presence.
His base just doesn't realize it because they don't differ much from Donald Trump's intellect. So how could they notice even the slightest thing?
Spot on. Great comment…thank you!
Trump knows he had his ass handed to him in the last debate and didn't want to risk another shellacing. He talks like a mob boss but has the backbone of a an amoeba. We can only hope that we will make that shellacing happen at the polls and put him back on trial where he belongs.
Amoebas were many times more intelligent than Donald Trump and survived for a very long time. To call Trump an amoeba would be an insult to all amoebas; I would like to apologize to all amoebas for that.
Fair enough. I didn't want to insult other critters like warthogs. sewer rats and dung beetles.
I sincerely hope that Donald Trump loses big and never appears as a candidate again!
Here in Germany you don't get any sensible information about the actual poll results. Yesterday it was said here that Harris and Trump are tied; that's frightening.
Let them and in future keep the poor animals out of it, because not a single life form is lower than that of Donald Trump!
Now that the event is over, the CNN crew is nitpicking many of Harris’s responses and style. The Republican guy is so hypercritical that it defies reality. I almost choked at Dana’s comment which I believe is a result of her own bad experience interviewing her. And unfortunately only one person mentioned that Trump was a no-show or how he would have responded to the questions that were posed to VP Harris. Also, in terms of the question of style, none mentioned, that I recall, that she’s only been at this for exactly three months and hasn’t had the luxury or opportunity to hone her skills. And I felt at the end of the program when she approached a few of the people in the audience was golden. It would be nice to see exchanges like that in her advertising so that voters can understand that she really cares about us.
I wish it was on MSNBC. They are getting better and better. I never used to watch them and now I watch them daily. Educational and uplifting.
CNN sucks
The Vice President has been masterful indeed. Cooper, however, has been trying to play "gotcha" all night. You've given him far too much credit.
Yeah his handling of the wall question was beyond idiotic.
Coop, will allow his sick twisted panel to undo it all. He's a billionaire traitor
I couldn't watch the debate as we don't have cable TV. But I watched the updates as they came through. Yes, she was indeed masterful in her answers but why, still, is she being held to a higher mark than Trump? Even Dana Bash said, "Oh she missed an opportunity to say she supports the border wall." Did Bash even listen to Harris' answer? The wall is only a tiny, tiny part of immigration and yes, I know what I am talking about as an immigrant myself, living in a border town with family and friends in Border Patrol. When the Donald came and posed in front of the rusting wall down here at Naco several weeks ago it was pathetic. Claimed the rusty deteriorating part was Harris' wall although the Biden administration didn't build any more walls, simply closed large gaps in fencing in Yuma, which happens to be, oh, about 312 miles away. As Harris said, Trump's wall project was an expensive joke and all you have to do is read "Trump Wall" on Wikipedia to get the facts about that.
It was another one of his grifts, people sent money to build that wall, the first contractor was fired for his sticky fingers. Bannon benefitted. Another case of golden sneakers.
Bash is a pro-genocide Zionist.
Cheetolini is only viable in Potemkin McDonal’s photo ops, or Georgian Potemkin town hall events where the “audience” are hand selected cultists with pre-approved questions, and his legendary verbal incoherent weave, perhaps his recognitive nod to the artificiality of whatever that thing that disguises his bald pate, is edited
into a mild semblance of coherency. He is the cardboard cutout that was displayed at Trump University where students could take selfies with it; a truly emblematic display of his lifelong grift.
I'm betting that the buses for the Coachella rally didn't show up because the bus provider wanted payment upfront, he knew that Trump stiffs everyone. He didn't let himself get ripped off.
I read that's exactly what happened
Can you imagine if the Orange Blimp had been there? How he’d turn EVERY. GD. SINGLE. ANSWER. INTO. A. WHATABOUTME. RESPONSE. And glower. And cast nasty things. And lies!!!
How can we possibly hate a “stranger” so much?
I watched it.
Can't wait to see it!
How did this get in the wrong 😑 place. It doesn’t even fit? and I can’t even delete it.
I'm especially disgusted with the SCOTUS. Nice job on their part preserving and protecting the Constitution! What the hell are they there for!!???
Waiting to be impeached!
Our Supreme Court has 5 I n c o m p e t e n t people on it. 4 are totally corrupt. 1 is an air head.
I count 6 corrupt justices. They are all very competent. They are doing exactly what their masters want.
I count the same here. It's the Extreme Court complete with six injustices.
Yes I was thinking 6.
Agreed.
Their own egos. Power and perks.
Absolutely!
Thank you, Mary, for continuing to pound away at your loathsome piece of shit uncle. We all have to fight against him and his cult. It is not hyperbole to say the fate of our democracy depends upon it.
If he groped a minor and there's video, let's see it played, the more the better. Groping minors in the homestretch will not help him. I want to see this video asap.
Donald was sued by one of Epstein's sex slaves. She Accused him of brutality, slapping her and telling her to shut the fuck up when she screamed for help. The case is online. It had to be cancelled because her family and her attorneys and their families all received death threats.
Richard La France
Look up Katie Johnson. Trump is accused of raping 13 year- olds. And incidentally Don Jr. I believe just muttered something regarding Trump had something to do with Epstein's death? Google: Trump/Epstein court case (but beware-it's not for the faint of heart)
That's not going to upset those of his Maggots who are doing a lot more than groping with siblings and parents. First it has to be determined what would really upset, shock, enrage them.
Will the parents be angry enough to do something?
But will Fox News show it?
Doubt it. They only show his "so called" good side.
What is distressing is that many major newspapers did not put the news of General Kelly's comments on page one, - The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the Detroit Free Press, USA Today. This is journalistic malfeasance. What could be more important than General Kelly (Trump's Chief of Staff') telling the nation that Donald Trump is a fascist two weeks before the election? Anyone who has a subscription to one of these papers should cancel it and should do a letter to the editor.
General John Kelly was Trump's longest serving Chief of Staff. This job entailed being Trump's personal aide, and following Trump wherever he went. So, Kelly was privy to most of Trump's conversations, just by being there.
Trump denied his indifference and disdain for military personnel when reports of it started coming out on CNN. General Kelly wrote a detailed statement to Jake Tapper, that confirmed all the reports were true.
Despite having recieved the statement a year before the Trump/Biden debate, Jake Tapper did not fact check Trump on any of his lies concerning the American armed forces.
Jay Kuo does an extensive write up on John Kelly's testimony, with audio clips of Kelly speaking
John Kelly Speaks Out
https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/john-kelly-speaks-out
Hopefully Tapper has had an epiphany - or got the message from what he was looking at silently. No one is safe if Trump is elected.
I turned off the CNN "panel" critiquing VP Harris' town hall at the point when they said they were going to "fact check" her performance after the next commercial.
Mary, at a certain point right after Biden was elected, General Milley filed paperwork to get a permit to carry a sidearm; in Virginia, a CCW is necessary. I can't imagine what he was aware of and was trying to protect his family from.
Typical fascist propaganda: Orange Hitler claims if he doesn't get elected, liberals will exterminate Republicans.
Fascists use lies as a weapon, to switch the roles of victim and attacker.
https://maganazi.substack.com/p/typical-fascist-propaganda-orange
And every lie is a projection
They WANT to exterminate US
I am SO TIRED and DRAINED knowing that a large percentage of the Electoral College supports Donald. I will NEVER understand why!
I hope his supporters come to their senses and vote for Kamala instead of rationalizing Donald's fascism.
Thank you, Mary 💙.
The electoral college does not support anything. According to all constitutions, they HAVE to vote based on the election popular vote results in their own state. The election hasn't happened yet.
Why does America still rely on the Electoral Vote? It's not even fair with their number of populations in each State. There's been talk about getting rid of it.
DO IT! That's how Trumpee won in 2016!
And what happened in 2020, Trumpee got fake electorates to overturn those results.
Get with the program. ENOUGH ALREADY.
Did you mean to say "a large percentage of" the electorate?
In 2016, Hillary won the popular vote by 3 million votes. However, Hillary lost the Electoral College by 78,000 votes, which allowed Donald to become "president".
The Electoral College elects the president, not the popular vote.
That needs to go away. Its roots are archaic and racist.
But the EC is constitutionally obligated to report the number of votes counted are they not?
Got it. Agreed. Thank you for clarifying.
Remember Lafayette Square. Fooled senior leaders including Gen Mark Milley. Turned water hoses on peaceful demonstrators. Held up a Bible when he never goes yo church. Had it upside down and had to correct that when pointed out!
That's because he's the devil and they reverse holy items like the Bible and the Cross. I wasn't religious until Trump showed up, a perfect Anti Christ. Prince of Lies. Conveyor of all 7 Deadly Sins.
I keep saying that too. Believers refuse to believe they are being lead by the Devil. One would think a sane person would just look at his private life behavior and think, yeah he is the Devil. Why would they vote for a man of no morals?
This is just so Bad, Mary, I'm starting to think that your uncle is starting to believe that he's really Hitler?! Could that even be possible, because his rallies, podcast interviews, and language on his Nazi infested Truth Social platform, sure rings true. Thank You for your article this evening and will reStack ASAP💯👍💙🌊 OH I almost forgot to tell you, that I mailed my Mail-in Ballot today here in Oregon, but before I put it in the mail box, I sprayed the envelope with Chanel ®5 for Luck 🤗💋
We dropped our ballots in ballot collection box here in Oregon.
With all this evidence coming out from everyone in his administration how could anyone vote for this guy? There was a time a guy with his credentials would not have been considered
There was a time that a guy with his credentials wouldn't even be allowed to enter a movie theatre.
Wish it were still that way
I felt bad for PeeWee Herman. He was, after all, in an adult theater watching men porn like a lot of people do. Not nearly as awful as what DJT has done over his lifetime. Rape and treachery are his game.
We will win and he will go to jail. 💙 Looking forward to Nerd Avengers tomorrow! Thank you Mary ❤️
Look at that entourage. That’s sketchy bastard will never give the stuff up.
If you're referring to the photo at the top of this column, that's from June 1, 2020 (i.e. it's not Trump's current entourage) -- it was taken as they set out from the White House to Lafayette Park and the church/Bible photo-op. Gen. Milley is in fatigues (the standard on-duty uniform) because as chair of the Joint Chiefs he was the senior military guy on site -- the site being the demonstration (and its clearance w/teargas by Natl. Guard troops) by Black Lives Matter and allied groups in the park and in front of the church.
I voted today in St Louis County, MO. I parked on the road because the parking lot for the library was full. I stood in line around 11:15 am. They call it No Excuse Absentee Voting because the Republican Party is weird (it's actually early voting). It took about an hour standing in a line that was mostly Boomers (I'm 72), mostly white and mostly women. Yesterday was the first day of early voting and the line was even longer; voting workers said it was crowded yesterday and today. We had a long, double-sided ballot with a lot of judges, Amendments and Proposals on it. There is an Amendment to amend the state constitution to basically return the state's abortion law back to what Roe allowed since MO currently has an extreme anti-abortion law. The women standing around me had all filled out their sample ballot ahead of time as I had. St Louis and St Louis County are large Blue dots in a Red state (as is Kansas City, MO and Columbia which is a college town) so I suspect there were a lot of Harris-Walz voters. I only had to drive about 20 minutes or so to get to the library where I was going to vote and, although I grew up in St Louis, I moved away after college but moved back after retiring. I was not familiar with the neighborhoods I drove through and I only saw Harris-Walz signs. We're also trying to get rid of Josh Hawley and his Democratic opponent, Lucas Kunce, is very close in polls. I think women are going to get Harris-Walz to the White House and all the pundits will be surprised because they're mostly men who always underestimate women.
God in heaven Patricia, I hope you are right. In my state - WA - we all vote absentee which is convenient, but I do miss some of the energy at the polling places.
Thank you for telling your story, Patricia. Here in gerrymandered and GOP-controlled legislative, executive and judicial OH, my partner (male) and I voted early on Tuesday. They call it "Absentee Voting" here now, too, even though we went to our county BOE and voted in person. The newly-appointed head of our County BOE is a Republican (appointed by the Secretary of State) and that's who checked us in and gave us our long ballot. We have an anti-gerrymandering amendment on the ballot that our Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, reworded so it appears the amendment is actually for partisan gerrymandering instead of against it. Hopefully, most people already know how they're going to vote going in or if they don't, they won't bother to read the extensive misleading explanation of the amendment that Frank LaRose rewrote for the ballot.
