Burning leaves on Elm Street. Why do I feel like Mr Wilson should be smoking a pipe?

[Wellesley Police @WellesleyPolice]

WPD is assisting the Fire Department on Elm St with a truck and leaf fire. Fire is contained.

For the men and women of The North Carolina National Guard and Joint Task Force North Carolina, this mission is no fail, and we’ll continue to work around the clock until it’s complete.

@lou_nautic I think it's a little more complicated than that because some places don't report any results until all of their ballots are counted. That's how the big jumps in vote count happen in the middle of the night.

@elonmusk As expected, lotta immigration bull from prominent people.

Think.

Immigrants settle mostly where jobs are, not where votes will be needed.

Both sides have a political stake in the issue, but only the GOP fund-raises and campaigns on it. They need the problem, not solutions

@Comfortably_ill @E4Capt_PartDeux That's really not true.

[Bob Bourgeois @RJB429]

@E4Capt_PartDeux Well said! 👏👏
I also voted Harris for my two daughters (and my son, other family members, and 345 million Americans)

[Jeff Flake @JeffFlake]

I’m voting for Kamala Harris not in spite of being a conservative, but because I’m a conservative. Conservatives believe in the rule of law.

Longtime Republican lawyer. Trump appointed general counsel of the US Department of Homeland Security. Was senior VP at Heritage Foundation.
Straightforward thread.

[John Mitnick @JohnMitnick]

Trump is reckless, angry, vengeful, and narcissistic, and he has no respect for the Constitution or the rule of law.

Interesting perspective on US democracy being tested. Worth listening for five minutes.

[Fareed Zakaria @FareedZakaria]

The last time Americans voted for president, US democracy faced a close call. We might be about to embark upon an experiment to see whether our institutions, checks and balances can hold, even when leaders try their best to bend them.

My take:

[Bob Bourgeois @RJB429]

@joerogan @JohnFetterman Everyone should understand that you pressed the Senator on a hypothetical scenario as if it's true. It was lopsided and deceptive.
GOP is more to blame for immigration dysfunction. They love the problem too much and keep the focus on political stunts rather than improvements.

[Bob Bourgeois @RJB429]

This looks challenging 😬

The fact that Trump tried to stay in office after he lost the 2020 election decides my vote.

But if it didn’t, I’d vote my wallet (Harris). I’d vote for decency (Harris). I’d vote for competence (Harris). I’d vote for the rule of law (Harris). I’d vote for the ability to last 4 years (Harris) (with apologies to fellow geezers).

I'm not very political, but this one matters.

[Bob Bourgeois @RJB429]

@lou_nautic Who knows?
I know it's wrong to make fun of mental health issues, but this guy could wind up with a lot of power.

I find myself with a sudden urge to watch "Dr. Strangelove" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".

[Keith Edwards @keithedwards]

This is… not good.

[Bob Bourgeois @RJB429]

@Dan_LaPinta @keithedwards Many countries put fluoride in table salt. Is there maybe a connection?
