it’s a chorus in broad fucking daylight, josh.

The fact that this election is close is forever a stain on America. How much of a stain, we’ll soon find out. But an authoritarian felon, sexual abuser, who already incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol in a failed plot to steal an election…should never have been viable.

ELECTION ALERT: Still Too Early To Know Which Minority To Scapegoat ONN political analyst Jason Copeland breaks down why it's still too early to say exactly which racial and ethnic minority groups will be to blame for each political party's shortcomings this election.

Birds of a feather

I also firmly believe that we need to crush these people’s spirits into blood and earth, not be *nice* to the amoral supporters of an aspirational gore-soaked dictator

“We’re the party panicking about so many women voting” is a look, I’ll say that much.

It’s the abortion bans, stupid

Quite the headline out of Philly.

Gosh, who could have predicted? www.cnn.com/2024/10/30/m...

I don’t know what is going to happen but one reason I am pessimistic about Harris’ chances is that a former Trump chief of staff saying the president praised Hitler doesn’t make the front pages, except maybe as an aside in a bigger story framed as a partisan attack by his rival

New from me: It's easy to point and laugh at Rudy Giuliani for having to turn over his NYC condo and millions of dollars in other assets to the Georgia election workers he defamed in 2020. So, let's.

The revelations from the John Kelly interview ought to be disqualifying for a Commander in Chief.

DOJ: <hopes Trump dies> Trump: <doesn't die> DOJ: Dammit we've done all we can

Grim shit.

The smart move at this point would be for Harris to pivot her whole campaign to saying that Donald Trump is dying. Americans don’t want to elect a dying man

Incredible how the fucking wire services at AP can write a better summary of the Trump rally than New York Times political reporters:

good solid headline writing. muscular, lean prose apnews.com/article/trum...

One of the dumbest things about modern journalism is the belief among some that you *have to* get a quote from someone, even if you know they're going to lie to you. You don't have to.

dems: burning billions of tons of fossil fuels is heating the ocean and will cause freak weather events to become normal events gop: that’s insane (freak weather events become normal events) gop: the democrats have a secret hurricane spawning machine

Top execs have been pushed out of Trump Media, reportedly in retaliation for expressing concerns about Devin Nunes's mismanagement—including alleged misuse of funds, hiring of foreign contractors, and interfering with product development

I dunno. For some of us it's kinda hard to "get over" the fact that one party tried to overturn the results of a free and fair election and stormed the Capitol, and now are running the same candidate who refuses to admit he lost last time. Seems kinda important?

me liking every post with a screencap showing Trump’s stock tanking

I was banned for “distributing hacked material” because I interviewed a hacker who targeted a right-wing podcaster.

“Mark Robinson does not represent the African American Third Reich,” said American Black Nazi Party chairwoman Sandra Higgins, who warned that by refusing to exit the race, Robinson was endangering the campaigns of thousands of American Black Nazi Party candidates... theonion.com/american-bla...

The far right have completely stopped worrying about dropping the mask and removed it completely. They are now openly admitting that it was never about legality or about legal immigration. It was always about white power and using reactionary terror against minorities.

Saying that your relationship with RFKJr was emotional and not physical is . . . just not exculpatory. That’s like saying “what attracted me to Laura Loomer was her soul.”

the biggest threat to decency and values and goodness and family and order is transsexuals, they said. aaaaall the girls and women are at risk if they let even one of us play field hockey, they said. perverts and degenerates and natural predators, they said.

Huh

It's #PrisonBannedBooksWeek and we're inviting you to learn more about the oversized role that America's oversized prison system plays in censoring and restricting book access—particularly for low income folks, people of color, queers, and others with criminalized identities. 1/5

In some ways I think the tie on crime is even more interesting, given how much Trump rants about it

minisoldr

Been waiting for someone to notice that the most plausible plot in Red, White, and Royal Blue wasn’t the thing where the spare heir abdicated for his biracial American lover, it was the part where the Dems put one single ounce of effort into Texas and flipped it.

“Criticism is censorship” is in the Apostle’s Creed of the Trumpist religion.

What a headline JD Vance Condemns ‘Inflammatory Political Rhetoric’ After He and Trump Spread Rumor About Migrants Eating Pets www.mediaite.com/tv/jd-vance-...

American democracy is going to be saved by Trump lusting after a deranged Nazi and thereby costing just enough votes to lose, and I must admit I am fully onboard with retconning the shit out of this so that history records something, anything as another explanation that isn't so damn depressing.

Trump repeating lies about haitians he saw on tv shows how his strategy relies on vile smears about vulnerable groups that can travel unchallenged on post-2020 social media networks, commandeered by the far right to spread racist lies as far and fast as possible www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

JD Vance just said on Fox that people shouldn't influenced "by a billionaire celebrity who I think is disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans."
