Really is a tough call.
On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan
But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman
Quite the dilemma
The youngest victim of the 9/11 attacks was 2-year-old Christine Hanson. Couple Peter & Sue Hanson perished with their daughter Christine on UA175 on their way to Disneyland.
Peter's dad Lee Hanson recalled the last time he visited his granddaughter Christine Hanson via Storycorps.
"And I remember when it was time for us to go home, I was reading a story to Christine and everyone else was outside waiting to say goodbye. And I finished the story, and I put Christine down, and she ran in front of me to go to the front of the house. And I said, 'You know, Christine, I love you.' She said, 'I love you too, Papa.' And I said, 'Aren’t we lucky that we have each other to love?' And she broke into a big smile, put her arms... spread her arms out, and did a happy dance."
Lee Hanson would later testify about the murder of his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, "They took away our dreams. They took away our future."
From Fall and Rise: The Story of 9/11, Peter Hanson phoned his father from the plane, "It’s getting bad, Dad. A stewardess was stabbed. They seem to have knives. They said they have a bomb..."
"Passengers are throwing up and getting sick. The plane is making jerky movements. I don’t think the pilot is flying the plane. I think we are going down. I think they intend to go to Chicago or some place and fly into a building."
"Don’t worry, Dad. If it happens, it’ll be very fast."
Later with the plane over New York City, Peter Hanson's phone call with his father cut out as Peter's mom Eunice Hanson watched on the TV as UA175 smashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
While I didn't know them, I went to Boston University at the same time as Christine Hanson's parents Peter and Sue Hanson. #Remembering911 #Remember911 #NeverForget911 #NeverForgetSept11 #RememberTheSky
My niece turned 18 this year & this endorsement means something to her. I'm excited for her to take Taylor's advice, do her own research to come to her own conclusions and VOTE. The youth engagement this will produce is heartening.
.@Liz_Cheney: As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about the Constitution, and because of the danger Donald Trump poses, I will be voting for Kamala Harris
Republican Mayor of Mesa, Arizona: I am a lifelong Republican. I do not recognize my own party. The Republican Party has been taken over by extremists. I have something to say to those of us who are in the middle. You don’t owe a damn thing to that party. You don’t owe anything to a party that is out of touch and hellbent on taking us backward. You owe no displaced loyalty to a candidate who is morally and ethically bankrupt. In the spirit of the great Senator John McCain, please join me in putting country over party, stopping Donald Trump, protecting the rule of law, protecting our Constitution, and protecting democracy by voting for Kamala Harris
.@JoeBiden is a patriot. He has selflessly served this Nation with distinction for a half a century, and stepped forward to save it in 2020. We Americans again owe him our deepest thanks and respect for putting the country above all else once again.
Thank you, Mr. President.
I remember watching trump brag about how rich he was, and thinking how bizarre that was because you never hear wealthy people saying "you know, I'm really rich."
If you're really rich, you don't have to brag about it.
Then, I remember how he did that with his "intellect," bragging about how he had "a really good brain" and how he had "the best words."
It was equally strange to see him brag repeatedly about that "person, woman, man, camera, TV" test. I mean, it's almost like bragging about passing a breathalyzer test.
Intelligent people don't brag about it, there's no need, as they can flex with a few casual sentences.
Come to think of it, he did the exact same thing with people, saying that he hires "the best people."
Then he went and hired clueless Jared Kushner, disgusting Steve Bannon, sleepy Ben Carson, and Four Seasons Total Clueless Rudy Giuliani.
In every single instance, he bragged about things that were verifiably false.
- he can't cough up $454 million, despite bragging that he's a billionaire. Nobody will loan it to him, because they're not stupid.
- he's spent the past few months confusing Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi, WW2 with WW3, and he can't get President Obama out of what's left of his mind.
- many of the people he hired had to ask for pardons, a bunch were fired for incompetence, others were indicted and/or convicted, and some have been disbarred.
Not a billionaire.
Not a genius.
Not connected with the best.
He's a pretender, a poser, a complete phony. He's got fake hair, fake tan, lifts in his shoes, lies about his height and weight, even cheats at golf.
For some reason, MAGA thinks this clown of a person is strong, but he's a weakling's idea of what a strong person looks like.
He's a poor person's idea of what a rich guy looks like.
He's a dumb person's idea of what a stable genius looks like.
I'll never understand how a blatant charlatan fooled so many people so thoroughly, but I'm determined to make sure that phony, lying, weak, stupid coward is exposed and defeated once and for all.
Let's fucking do this.
I’ve been saying for some time that the base of my former political party is radicalized. A friend asked me last night what I meant. I said the GOP base is radicalized because they no longer believe in basic truths, they’ve given up on democracy, and they want an authoritarian to give them back “their” America. Oh, and they don’t just want to defeat their political opponents. They want to destroy them.
That’s what I mean by radicalized. That’s all.
