I don't think this will really have any effect on Trump and his people since he plans to rule, not govern, especially since none of them really know how to govern in the first place. But the dangerous mess they're in the process of creating is interesting:

1933. A country elected a madman who blamed immigrants for his country's ills.

2024. A country elected a madman who blames immigrants for his country's ills.

America. What have you done?

I’m an oldster, and I have to admit that living out arguably the rest of my life under a corrupt lawless right-wing quasi-religious fascist dictatorship led by a convicted criminal and rapist who seems to be a Russian agent of influence was NOT on my BINGO card Tuesday morning.

That national, state, and local authorities have to prepare for violence after the votes are counted is a national disgrace. We can all hope if Trump's defeated the violent MAGA thugs who've taken over the GOP will be suppressed by patriotic conservatives:

Riot fencing is being installed in DC ahead of the election. This isn’t normal and the press needs to be clear why. Trump incited a violent insurrection and continues to present an ongoing threat to our democracy. The security measures are entirely due to the danger he presents.

Help out the great volunteers at your local polling place: If one of Trump's goons threatens you at your polling place, here's what to do:

If you encounter violence, threats, or intimidation at a polling place, call 911 immediately. After alerting local authorities, report the incident to the Justice Department.

A Presidential historian looks at Trump and sees a uniquely dangerous historical aberration. A read well worth your time. Gift link:

Trump's really letting his thug flag fly as the election wraps up. Be interesting to see how his violent rhetoric and fantasies play with voters, especially the women he's promised to control, whether they want to be controlled or not:

If you're thinking of voting for Trump tomorrow, you might find what this former top Trump staffer has to say about the guy interesting. In short, EVERYONE--including his supporters--loses if Trump wins:

Harris has three things going for her in this election that Hillary didn't: The feds are keeping a better eye on Russian bots interference, the NYT political desk isn't overtly out to get her, & neither is the FBI Director. It's making things interesting:

@smc429 @Acyn Poor kids.

[History on the Fox @rmatile1]

I keep waiting for one of these amoral Trump surrogates to suddenly wake up on-air, say "I just can't support this convicted criminal & completely terrible person any more," rip off their microphone and walk out of the studio. Won't happen, but it might...

Live by the con, die by the con? Be interesting to see, after the election, just how all this shakes out:

Between Trump's increasingly violent and hysterical rhetoric--not to mention he's a convicted felon out on bail--and the Crashing Boer's apparent illegal alien sojourn here back in the 1990s, the GOP's showing their enthusiastic support for quite a bunch.

@RpsAgainstTrump Tucker's got to learn not to argue with the hookers before he falls asleep...

[History on the Fox @rmatile1]

Have to hand it to Putin. He correctly figured it was a LOT cheaper to buy the GOP and the rest of the U.S. right wing instead of all those expensive weapons programs. The old GOP was too patriotic for that to work, but not this new bunch...

[History on the Fox @rmatile1]

Casting Trump as a fascist is working for Harris because Trump IS a fascist. Strange as it may seem to some, the truth in politics is often quite effective:

Our dual legal system--one set of laws for the rich and connected and another for the rest of us--makes it unlikely he'll ever face any consequences, but it's nice to think about:

@RonFilipkowski I have a feeling with far too many Republicans, it's just the other way around: Wives work their tails off to make sure her husband can afford to sit down at the bar and bitch all day.

Wished my best friend since high school a happy belated birthday this morning and asked him how he liked 78. He said he liked 33-1/3 and 45 a lot better and I couldn't really disagree...
