TRUMP: My political opponents should face a firing squad.

HARRIS: Here’s my sixteen-point plan to directly target middle class families and help them succeed.

NEW YORK TIMES: Both candidates trade barbs in the final week of the race.

@ErroneousMonkey @RozenbergTomer @KamalaHQ What’s the point of a government in that case? Security is a need. You’re opposed to that too?

[Ms. M @msmalarkey24.bsky @MsMalarkey24]

As it turns out, the same gentleman who asked Trump about January 6th last night also asked Kamala Harris a question at her Univision town hall last week.

Watch them back-to-back.

Something tells me Mr. González is undecided no more.

@AllGodsRFake @GOPJesusUSA @elonmusk He's already breaking laws doing that anyway. Why not break more? https://t.co/76DxBNSM3z

These home runs were both hit at 8:37 p.m. pacific time. 36 years apart.

@Shpillcus @CAKitchener Have they not changed the website to say "Hello darkness my old friend" yet?

@CAKitchener Post reporters can also express their disgust with this decision by finding somewhere else to work. You aren't forced to continue supporting the paper any more than we are forced to keep paying for access to it.

The fact that the NRA got community noted on how to use a gun safely, should tell you everything you need to know about the NRA.

@anna_pulsoid I mean, I bought the game in 2018, and there are no in-game purchases or subscription fees. So if anything, since I can't get that money back, taxing their servers by playing costs them some marginal amount.

[Michael Sozan @michaelsozan]

Autocracy alert. Don't memory-hole this.
At the debate, Harris exposed Trump's dangerous autocratic nature. We saw felon Trump:
1) Extoll the virtues of authoritarian Hungarian leader Orban.
2) Refuse to admit he lost the 2020 election.
3) Still support the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Just fyi: when there is asymmetrical lying, there will be asymmetrical fact checking.

@Andywalkswitme @JohnFugelsang "Yeah, the first guy may have let the virus spread out of control early on, but the second guy didn't magically make it go away!" Preventing a pandemic in the early stages is far easier than eradicating a disease that has become endemic.

Lupo put this better than I ever could.
My block list grows with every single sympathizer that says behavior like this is ok.
If you are somehow OK with Doc's actions, or are trying to pass blame onto those that are preyed upon by people like him, please never have kids.

BREAKING: Mike Pence has just announced that he cannot in good conscience vote for Donald Trump. Retweet to make sure every American sees this clip.

@songeternal @Kleanisklean @tarkov This is basically what body armor is intended to do IRL. It doesn’t save you, it just prevents most instant-kill wounds, keeping you alive long enough to finish the fight.

@SneakySmoker83 @nikgeneburn Tommy gun would be a lot of fun for sure. They’d need to add a 20s gangster hat to the game though!
