Fundraising emails refer to Trump’s “LANDSLIDE VICTORY”—and an attempt to create the illusion of power to push his agenda. His popular vote count was merely 1.5% greater than that of Kamala Harris. Typical Trump. Exaggerations and lies.

David French (NYT): "...most ominously — Americans are turning their backs on liberty, tolerance and decency. It’s a learned behavior, modeled by leaders, and when leaders stop modeling tolerance and decency, Americans are prone to backslide to fear and animosity."

Heather Cox Richardson: "...Conservative pundit George Will wrote today that 'the world’s richest person is about to receive a free public education.'" We live in interesting times indeed...

How Lina Khan Became an Election Hot Topic https://t.co/zqvWokaT4H --I assume she will not last long in this VERY different political environment we now have

This might be true, but if he wins next Tuesday, we will see the Presidency become a huge Kleptocracy and Trump will quickly regain what he just lost. https://t.co/Pl6gCxm0b2

Election Falsehoods Take Off on YouTube as It Looks the Other Way https://t.co/oRao8MHCAE --Shame on Google for inaction, following the course of Musk/X. Sad

Acct to the Commerce Dep: "...private-sector employers added 233,000 jobs in October, according to payroll processor ADP's count — the strongest job creation it has reported in 15 months."--So much for the lies and fake news of Trump/MAGA about the economy. #HarrisWalz2024

An Ethical Minefield Awaits a Possible Second Trump Presidency https://t.co/AVN4G7gB7Y --A huge Kleptocracy in the making, no doubt

Economist: "..[The WP and LA Times owners] fret about upsetting Donald Trump. They would rather undermine their journalists than make an enemy of him. They calculate that Mr Trump may well become president. Their behaviour does not bode well for the health of democracy."

E24: "Musk-meldinger:-Støtende og rasistisk."--I wonder what the "chain of causation" is? Being in Trump's camp triggers/reinforce those characteristics, or has he long had those characteristics/behaviors and therefore decided to join the fascist/racist in his quest?

"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) privately lambasted former President Trump as "despicable" and a "narcissist" after the 2020 election, according to a soon-to-be-released biography"--What else is new? Most of us have long known this. #HarrisWalz2024

[Eilif 🇺🇦 @EilifT]

Trump called Harris "mentally disabled" and "mentally impaired."--This guy is a total moron. And I guess he has never heard of "The pot calling the kettle black."! It is becoming more and more clear that his mental state is declining FAST. #HarrisWalz2024

[Eilif 🇺🇦 @EilifT]

Acct to Axios: "FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell warned last week that a deluge of misinformation surrounding Hurricane Helene would harm the federal response."--Is this going to be the 'new normal" IF Trump wins?? #HarrisWalz2024

[Eilif 🇺🇦 @EilifT]

Tom Nichols of the Atlantic writes on "how Donald Trump is the tyrant George Washington feared—and how his reelection threatens to unmake the nation that the first president helped create."--Scary that the result of the race still is very much up in the air. #HarrisWalz2024

I have Fiber 1 Gig Internet service (in Los Alamitos, CA) from Frontier Communications, and yet I have experienced buffering of the video stream during both the last two Dodger games. Why is this happening?

WSJ: "Mystery Drones Swarmed a U.S. Military Base for 17 Days. The Pentagon Is Stumped.--U.S. officials don’t know who is behind the drones that have flown unhindered over sensitive national-security sites—or how to stop them."--Tech outsmarting Pentagon?? Scary.

[Eilif 🇺🇦 @EilifT]

NYT: "The Trump Organization was in talks about Israeli hotels last year and wants to resume them, highlighting questions about the mingling of politics and money." -- For Trump, politics=money! That's why he is in politics. Money and power. #HarrisWalz2024

Of course, it's a long time since LSK beat Norway's top team, BG, 4 : 2 in the cup. Since then, LSK has lost lots of league games. But let's shock Norwegian soccer pundits and give the new coach Fagermo, an amazing start on his new LSK career by beating Molde tomorrow. #LSK

P. Krugman: “... it’s amazing how at this point the Trump campaign rests entirely on denouncing things that aren’t happening—[an] imaginary bad economy, imaginary runaway crime and now an imaginary failure of Biden and Harris to respond to natural disaster.”
