Not to mention the shenanigans pulled by the administration to prevent voters from going to the polls, such as ICE officers patrolling cities. Today will indeed be an IQ test for Americans.
" debunk rather than elevate specious claims (the New York Times, reprehensibly, has done the latter in Alaska), and explain the gross constitutional violations Trump and his DOJ flunkies are committing."
A bitter irony of double standards.
Democrats get NY Times coverage for a jaywalking violation, while Republicans get a complete pass for rape and murder.
The bloated buffoon’s act is wearing thin. He cries foul while simultaneously trying to rig the election, and he’s too stupid to do that discretely. So the courts are on to him. He got slapped back twice yesterday in the Alaska and California cases. That put a spring in my step as I await today’s blue bloodbath.
Chris, rather than describing it as a "bloodbath," I prefer "tsunami." Your term connotes violence and death, which is not what we want. Whereas, a tsunami, an overwhelming force of water, sweeps away the trash and washes everything clean.
Violence and death to a regime that has meted out bloodbath conditions does not seem that improper. It's all semantics, as a tsunami is violent and inflicts death and damage as well. In reality, one can deposit as much trash as it can wash away that which is valuable.
Trump hates being called a loser. Expect a massive temper tantrum when the results are tallied. As for Alaska, Republicans are only angry because they didn't think of running someone with the same name as Mary Peltola (although there are not nearly as many people with that name as there are people named Dan or Daniel Sullivan). Only Trump would remind people of his gross incompetence at "repairs" to the Reflecting Pool, and the completely unjustified arrests of people who happened to be near it, by having a rally there on the day before Election Day.
Anne, the Reflecting Pool show has to be one of the most bizarre, pointless, inappropriate, ineffective rallying performances ever mounted by a U.S. president in U.S. history. Or as The Bard put it, "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing."
It suggests that Donald's handlers have given up – that they just let Grandpa Befuddlepants amuse himself with public performances and remodeling projects, as one does with a dementia patient. It keeps him entertained and out of the way while Miller and Vought push the buttons and pull the levers that control the sabotage of our democracy.
The demented lunatic's estranged niece, Mary Trump, has stated countless times that he simply cannot accept defeat, aka being called a loser. He learned from his vile original personal attorney, Roy Cohn, never to apologize or admit wrongdoing, always counterattack, use the legal system as a weapon, control the media narrative, CLAIM VICTORY NO MATTER THE OUTCOME and demand absolute loyalty. Sounds about right, doesn't it?
We should all be prepared for the deafening chorus of whining, caterwauling and faux outrage from their Dear Leader when/if the MAGAts are soundly trounced in the midterms. As Jen ends her post today, let's hope we don't have a repeat of the day that will live infamy on 01/06/2021 when our experiment in government of, by and for the people almost died.
Sorry, Donnie! You are a loser, a liar and a cheat. Today, the American people will figuratively, hand you your head. Suggestion: Learn how to work and cooperate with Congress. Otherwise, you are going to face the two worst years in your life! In my opinion, the hearings and investigations should start on Day 2. They should end on January 19, 2029!
If the Dems prevail they need to spend the next two years laying the groundwork to win the presidency by legislatively addressing the issues voters care about, whether or not Trump signs off. If the Dems don't show they can deliver, the fickle and forgetful electorate could well swing the other way again.
We have to end this fad of old racist white men and their minions yelling “fraud” everytime they have their sagging asses handed to them. Aren’t we fed up with this bullsh*t? Newly electeds better have some plans a hell of a lot bigger than returning to status quo. FED UP!
The American people are much wiser now to Trump's tricks than we were in 2020. We will not tolerate an attempted coup. I also suspect that the Republican office holders who want to retain a political future after 2028 have also smartened up.
So glad I voted a month ago and can just kick back, skim my newsletters and do other stuff.
I appreciate your voice of sanity in the craziness all around us. I hope if things go well today that you will use your voice to get Democrats to think more and fall in love less, to inform themselves about what is going on and what is realistic before jumping in to condemn elected officials working hard on difficult issues because they didn't provide a. instant gratification or b. everything we want on a silver platter.
Let’s wait until the votes are counted. Too many of us are still traumatized by 2024 when the American people voted for Trump again. It is the biggest stain on America history since the Civil War. When we know what our strength is we can prioritize how to begin the difficult process of building a nation in which we all want to live
Trump is and has been dis-integrating—cognitively, physically and emotionally—before our eyes. At what point will his complete disintegration occur and be undeniable by legacy media. What happens to bothsidesism when the leader of one side collapses completely?
Not making excuses for the fool, but Trump has himself so insulated with sycophants who only tell him what he wants to hear that he may truly believe he has a 99% approval rating with Republicans and that the economy is great and that there is no way he can lose this election. Throw enough tantrums and isolate yourself and that's the result you get. We already know from reports that he doesn't read (or at least not well, just watch him with a teleprompter).

Shame.
GOTV.... We have via VAN the names of all registered Dems who haven't voted yet. Help them get to the polls.

Eye-for-an-eye punishment is a primitive concept that has no place in a modern, liberal society that seeks true justice.
It's not semantics; it's imagery. It's also connotation.
"Bloodbath" connotes death and suffering resulting from human violence against other humans.
While a tsunami can produce death and loss, it's a force of nature, not the act of violent men.
My critique remains valid.
Red too
On the playground, (s)he who smelled it, dealt it.
This morning, MSNOW had a panel of MAGA who are in repent -- voted straight Dem. Most regret support of a bully.
The courts, as referring to Trump as a 'vexatious litigant', have shown that they to are tired of his act.

Our creepy VP needs a lesson in lower math.
Let him be creepy. He has no appeal to any constituency.
Even creeps and criminals can develop a following. Just look as what got elected to the presidency in 2024!
I voted at 7:17 AM central time in Huntsville Alabama today and it was the 17th ballot to be counted! That is as early as I can get!

trump is the fraud that stole America

That may all be true but what can he say about the vanishing crowds? He is no longer in touch with reality!
We are all on high alert today. Thank you for this superior report of what we are up against.
Love the subtle insult in the headline. No curse words necessary.
