We're at the end of the game, we are going to pull off this victory

First up, Isaiah's latest THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "Tucker Carlson's Sexual Demon"

I think 2024 should be remembered as the year the MAGA men embraced their true girlish nature.  The heavily made up face of Donald Trump was joined by Miss Sassy JD Vance and his signature eye liner.  We also had Matt Gaetz going under the knife for the most severe plastic surgery since Michael Jackson passed away.  You had 70-year-old Robert Kennedy Jr.  shooting up with steroids to try to convince people he could still get it up (he can't, hence the sexting affair with the reporter).  Everywhere you looked, it was one precious 'tough' guy after another, wasn't it?

And yet all these MAGA 'men' were so damn quick to attack LGBTQ+ people.  Projection?  




I've been in Florida of late, working with Wally on turning out the vote.  In 2008, Wally dropped out of college to work on turning on the vote so he knows a lot and then some.  It's great to be here, in the state that Ron Doo Doo DeSantis has ruined.  Florida's so great.  It's going to take a long time to recover from the damage Little Ronnie did while prancing around the state in his high heels.



The hurricane split pine trees like toothpicks. It chewed up chain link fences and laid highway billboards flat on their faces. It peeled the roof off Tropicana Field, where the Tampa Bay Rays play, and uncorked dozens of tornadoes, including one that ripped through a retirement community in St. Lucie County, Florida, killing six. 

By the time Milton was finally over the Atlantic, it had left some $50 billion worth of damage behind, at least 24 dead, and one-third of the state's gas stations empty.

But in a state where residents have become inured to the existential threat under which they live, Milton was, in the words of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, "not the worst-case scenario."

I visited Florida in October, after the hurricane - and in the midst of an accelerating climate crisis and reproductive health crisis both of which DeSantis doesn't just refuse to acknowledge, but seems intent on actively making even worse. 

DeSantis has barred local governments from implementing heat protections for laborers, and signed into law a bill that strikes all mentions of "climate change" from state law. The policy was adapted from one pioneered by his predecessor,  Rick Scott, who banned the phrases "climate change" and "global warming" from state correspondence. DeSantis has separately worked to discourage financial firms from factoring environmental risks into their investment decisions. 

He is garbage.  Speaking of . . . 

Did you know MAGA nuts in Texas hate Lucille Ball?  I was talking on the phone to Francisco and Kendrick.  If you watch WILL & GRACE or I LOVE LUCY or HERE'S LUCY on NBC COMEDY VAULT (24 hour streaming channel for WILL & GRACE) or on PLUTO or TUBI for Lucy, you get the commercial of a doctor in a medical facility talking about how she won't vote for Ted Cruz and is voting for Colin Allred but you don't get Greg Asshole or Ted Cruz lobbying for Ted.  If you watch, instead, JUDGE JUDY on PLUTO, you get Colin's commercials and Ted's both.  So apparently MAGA freaks in Texas think Lucy's audience is too liberated as is the audience for WILL & GRACE.


Lee Moran (HUFFINGTON POST) reports on something to watch for tomorrow night:

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann broke down how Donald Trump may prematurely attempt to declare victory in the 2024 election.

Weissmann also warned of the legal pitfalls the former president may face in doing so.

Appearing on MSNBC, Weissmann recalled Trump’s demand during the 2020 election to “stop the count” when he was beating then-Democratic rival Joe Biden in the number of votes that had been counted at that particular time.

Trump, suggested Weissmann, may pull the same stunt of calling for a halt to counting votes if he appears to take a similar early lead (in the votes processed at that time) against Democratic 2024 rival Kamala Harris.

“Just to be clear, that is illegal to say that,” Weissmann pointed out. “That is a violation of the Obstruction statute, and the Civil Rights statutes, federally.”

“But you will hear exactly that thinking, ‘If you can stop the incoming vote,’ it won’t cause the Democrats to win. That is illegal,” Weissmann reiterated, “You have to count all votes.”

He added, “So, I fully expect that if Donald Trump thinks that he is ahead at the start and there are more mail-in ballots, absentee ballots that are coming in that are going to favor the Democrats, he is going to be doing exactly what he has already done, which is to say, ‘Stop the count and it’s actually voter fraud.’ When in fact, the voter fraud is saying, ‘Don’t count the votes.’”


In other bad news for Trump, Lily Mae Lazarus (DAILY BEAST) reports:


As Donald Trump makes his last pitch to voters on the eve of Election Day, the GOP presidential nominee’s supporters are failing to show up en masse at his campaign events.
The former president, who has spent months boasting about his crowd sizes and MAGA enthusiasm, struggled to pack the seats of his final rallies, despite claiming otherwise.

Trump’s multi-stop trip to North Carolina began with rows of empty seats at his rally at the Dorton Arena in Raleigh. The former president, taking the stage an hour behind schedule, spoke to a couple thousand of his supporters inside after failing to pack the stadium.

The day prior, video shows supporters leaving a Kinston, North Carolina event “5 minutes” into the Republican presidential candidate’s speech (to which he was two hours late).

If you haven't voted yet, please vote tomorrow and please vote for Kamala Harris.

Here's C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"


Monday, November 4, 2024. Con man and convicted felon Donald Trump mimes a blow job onstage, is unaware what state he is in, threatens reporters and boasts of his "beautiful White skin," while Kamala Harris seals the deal.


Tomorrow the US presidential election concludes.  Over the weekend, things only got worse for Convicted Felon Donald Trump and his crazed MAGA cult. 



Less than four hours ago, Ava and my "Media: The election winds down" went up:


The whole last week has been crazy as Donald's mouth has bled out blather.

For example, he again wished violence on former US House Rep Liz Cheney -- this time guns pointed at her head in a firing squad.   Threats of violence are all the tired, old crook had to offer.  THE TIMES OF ISRAEL noted today:


Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested at a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday that he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden, and said he wouldn’t mind if someone shot reporters at the campaign event.

In a meandering 90-minute rally speech two days before Tuesday’s US presidential election, Trump attacked the news media at length, at one point gesturing to TV cameras and saying, “ABC, it’s ABC, fake news, CBS, ABC, NBC. These are, these are, in my opinion, in my opinion, these are seriously corrupt people.”


Between those threats?  He managed to mime jerking off a microphone and going down on it in Milwaukee.  He also managed to threaten violence from the stage, "You've gotta be kidding. Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people backstage?"  Warren, Michigan found him unable to say "recession," in Atlanta, George he called Kamala "a twain weck."  He's an embarrassment who long ago lost his cognitive skills and just stands in front of smaller crowds speaking about his "beautiful white skin" and his hair and other topics that have nothing to do with our lives and that's why more and more people are walking out of these rallies long before he completes his free association remarks passed off as speeches.  In Latrobe, Pennsylvania, he'd already began speaking when he announced he was leaving the stage to comb his hair but he would be right back.  While in North Carolina, Trump didn't know he was . . . speaking in North Carolina.


At COMMON DREAMS, Jake Johnson reports:


During a rally on the final Sunday before the presidential election, Republican nominee Donald Trump told an audience gathered in the battleground state of Pennsylvania that he wouldn't mind if a gunman shot through the group of reporters covering the event.

After discussing the protective glass surrounding him, the former president said a would-be assassin "would have to shoot through the fake news" to get to him.

"I don't mind that so much," Trump said, drawing laughter and applause from his supporters. "I don't mind."

[. . .] 

Journalist Jeff Sharlet wrote in response that during his time covering "the fascism beat," he's met "men who've been itching for that encouragement, who openly fantasize about beating or killing reporters."

"It's not a joke," Sharlet wrote. "It's fascism."

Trump has long reveled in attacking members of the press, vilifying them as "the enemy of the people" and directing the ire of his supporters in their direction. Kash Patel, a Trump confidant who's expected to get a senior national security post if the former president wins Tuesday's election, suggested earlier this year that a second Trump administration would go after "the people in the media" with criminal or civil charges, underscoring the threat the Republican nominee poses to press freedom.

Facing backlash over Trump's latest attack on the press, his campaign issued an absurd statement claiming the former president was "actually looking out for [reporters'] welfare" by "stating that the media was in danger." 


The desperation never ends with the convicted felon and his crazies.  Marco Rubio and other idiots had a fit that Kamala Harris was on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.



Liars like Marco Rubio are trying to claim that The Fairness Doctrine has been violated.  No, it has not. 


They're so stupid.  


First off, the Fairness Doctrine was something Ronald Reagan was gunning to overturn when he became president.  And, in 1987, in his second term, his FCC did just that.


But it did not cover humor.  It never covered humor.  


Now I know that they're ignorant because they were home 'schooled.'  Inappropriate behavior meant that they had to leave their schools.  But we all grasp it was never the children's fault, it was always the parents.  That's where they learned the behavior.


But in the real world, where many of us strive to learn, your ignorance is appalling.



That's Richard Nixon in 1968, while running for president.


There was no outrcy of "UNFAIR!" from Hubert Humphrey.  No one dared cite The Fairness Act -- which was in effect then.


A year later, Lily Tomlin's Ernestine did the following sketch.




Again, no outcry or pretense that the sketch above violated The Fairness Act.  It didn't.


Never, while The Fairness Act was in effect, did anyone try to, for example, calculate Johnny Carson's jokes on THE TONIGHT SHOW to see if one party was favored and to make some sort of case over that.  The Fairness Act was never intended to cover humor and Little Marco is foolish idiot for even attempting to make that argument.

Donald Trump is ignorant of the law.  That's how he ended up a convicted felon, after all.  His groupies are equally uninformed when it comes to the law.  Not just Little Marco, but all of them.   David Edwards (RAW STORY) reports:


An Ohio sheriff's office official has reportedly told Democrats that he would not respond to their emergency calls because of their party affiliation.

In the days leading up to the November presidential election, Clark County's Lieutenant John Rodgers said he would use voter registration records to determine which calls he responded to.

According to WHIO, Rodgers' posts had been shared over 250,000 times on social media as of Friday.

The station reviewed social media posts with the threats from Rodgers.

"I am sorry. If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you" and "The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days," he reportedly wrote.

[. . .]


The Clark County Sheriff's Office told WHIO that an investigation had been launched into the social media posts.

"It is understood that while these comments are highly inappropriate, they in no means reflect the Clark County Sheriff's Office delivery of service to ALL our community and does not reflect the mission and values of the Sheriff's Office. The community has a right to be upset over the actions of Lt. Rodgers and he, as well as the Sheriff's Office in general, will have to work even harder to replenish the trust of members of our community," a statement from the department said.


No, you uninformed asshole, that's not how it works.  How it works is that Rodgers is placed upon immediate suspension and then he's removed.  These are his posts and once that's established beyond any reasonable shadow of a doubt, he has to be removed.  You don't get to pick and choose who you defend.  And if you think you do -- and are stupid enough to express that publicly -- you're not fit to serve.  

This isn't open to interpretation.  This is the law.  


You can't talk about butt-hurt idiots without eventually working your way around to Miss Sassy JD Vance. Kathleen Culliton (RAW STORY) reports:


Former President Donald Trump's running mate has Democratic jaws dropping after he suggested there was one thing his boss would never do.

Sen. J.D. Vance told rally attendees in Aston, Pennsylvania, on Sunday that the Republican presidential nominee always had championed Americans' right to freedom of speech — and always would.

"You know something Donald Trump will never do?" Vance said. "Donald Trump will never go out there and say that his fellow citizens should be censored or silenced for disagreeing with them." 

Replied political commentator Justin Baragona, "Trump is literally demanding that CBS and ABC be taken off the air."

Trump and his allies have filed a complaint against CBS, sued ABC News and accused the Washington Post of illegally spreading propaganda supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.

Studies show reporters fear they'll be thrown in prison if Trump is reelected and have face violent threats at his rallies from supporters who tell journalists, "I hope you're dismembered."


They have spent months lying to the country, thinking we must be kin to Boo-Boo the Fool.  

MORNING JOE today offers a comparison of the weekend messages from both campaigns. 



And that's why people are rejecting Donald Trump.  Julia Conley (COMMON DREAMS) reports:


Political observers expressed shock Saturday evening as the Des Moines Register released its final poll before Election Day showing Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leading Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by three points.

Harris was supported by 47% of respondents compared to 44% who backed Trump.

The newspaper's poll, conducted by pollster J. Ann Selzer, is widely regarded as the "gold standard" survey of voters in the state and has been recognized as "predicting" numerous election results in Iowa and giving a potential preview of how candidates could fare in other Midwestern states with similar demographics.



We have the numbers.  When we fight, we win and, most important, when we vote, we win.  "Don't boo," Barack Obama has repeatedly advised at rallies in the last weeks and he's right.  If you've voted, great.  Now find out who you know that hasn't voted and see if they need help, maybe they need some persuasion, maybe they need a ride to the polls, maybe they need someone to watch their kids while they vote.  It's about the number of votes.  We have them but we have to get voters to the polls on Tuesday.


It was not a good week for grifters.  Donald got checked, JD Vance got checked, Little Marco got checked -- even queen grifter Jill Stein got checked.  Julia Conley (COMMON DREAMS) reports:


  Noting that the U.S. Green Party and its presidential nominee, Jill Stein, have strayed far from the values held by Green parties in countries across the globe, a coalition of European lawmakers representing the organization called on Stein to drop out of the U.S. presidential race to help prevent a victory by Republican nominee Donald Trump.

"The stakes of these elections could not be higher," reads an open letter from politicians and parties from countries including Norway, Belgium, France, Ireland. "We are clear that [Democratic Vice President] Kamala Harris is the only candidate who can block Donald Trump and his anti-democratic, authoritarian policies from the White House."

Stein, who has run for president in the last four elections and won 1.4 million votes in 2016, is now polling between 1.1% and 1.4% and is on the ballot in a majority of states, including almost every battleground state.

The European Greens noted that they advocate "for a politics that prioritizes the planet, people, and peace above corporate greed, systemic injustice, and violence."

"The U.S. Greens are no longer a member of the global organization of Green parties," reads the letter, spearheaded by European Greens co-chairs Mélanie Vogel, a French senator, and Thomas Waitz, an Austrian member of European Parliament. "In part this fissure resulted from their relationship with parties with authoritarian leaders, and serious policy differences on key issues including Russia's full-scale assault on Ukraine."

Stein attended a dinner in Russia in 2015 with Russian President Vladimir Putin and has been critical of U.S. support for Ukraine's defense against the Russian invasion that began in 2022.

In mid-October, Stein joined former Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant at a rally where Sawant acknowledged that Stein has no chance of winning. At an event in Michigan, Sawant said the state was "ground zero to punish Kamala Harris and defeat her" for Harris' support for the Biden administration's policy in Israel and Palestine. The comment suggested to critics that Stein and her supporters view a Trump presidency as preferable to a Harris victory on November 5.

"The U.S. Green Party is attempting to go after the subset of voters on the left who don't like the Democrats," Carl Roberts, a spokesperson for Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, a political foundation affiliated with the German Green Party, toldThe Guardian in September. "I think this is quite out of step with other Green parties, who always center environmental concerns in their messaging and campaigns as one of their highest priorities." 

Here's the Tweet.




Margaret Kimberley and Anne Garrison had hissy fits on Twitter.  They're stupid fools and have too much say in the Green Party.  I said Jill would be suicide for the Green Party.  They could have gone with Kat Swift, Kent Mesplay, Dario Hunter, anyone -- anyone but the grifter who'd already held the title of presidential nominee two times before.  When you run the same failure three times, you make it clear that your party is not growing.  It's stagnant.  And when that loser is a grifter who grabbed millions from people for a 2016 recount that never really happened?  Your con artist is very close with Donald Trump's campaign for a reason.


Faced with reality, these idiots and kooks can't deal with it.  So you get Margaret Kimberely nuttier then when she used to claim that a plane didn't bring down the Twin Towers now insisting, "They are pro-war collaborators. So yes, they got a call from NATO and I'm guessing from the DNC too."


That's right, Margaret, it's a plot!  An international plot!  It's a plot!  The European Greens are actually CIA!  And NATO!!!!


Do you get how crazy you sound?  Do you?  People are laughing at you -- and, for a change, it's not because your buddies with registered sex offender Scott Ritter, nor is it because of your cheap ass weaves.  Open the purse, Margaret, spend some money on fake hair or wear your real hair.


They are a joke -- and a dirty joke at that.  Their response to this criticism -- accurate criticism -- is not to attempt to refute it but to instead serve up more nutty conspiracies.
