Happy Guy Fawkes Day America. May you be as successful ridding your country of treasonous plotters as we once were.

[Old Man Lefty @OldManLefty1]

Your teen goes to the pool for a fun day out. A week later they have a little summer flu. Then they can’t stand up. Within days they are paralyzed, on a breathing machine. A decade later you are changing their diapers while they sit in bed on a ventilator.

That’s polio folks..

Women over 65 remember what it was like before Roe v. Wade became the law of the land. That's why they are voting for Kamala.

If you were going to choose a metaphor for the 2024 Republican Party, a garbage truck chauffeuring around a billionaire traveling around in circles and going nowhere, all for a photo op, is pretty spot on.

.@Liz_Cheney: “One of the things that I've been most impressed by, as I have spent time with Vice President Harris, has been her absolute commitment to being a president for all Americans, and her commitment to listening to viewpoints across the political spectrum.”

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Donald Trump called half of America "human scum," and CNN didn't say shit.

Corporate media is trash.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Reminding women that their husbands don’t have to know who they voted for is pissing off exactly the people that make such a message necessary.

Obama: The man holds this rally and the warm up speakers were peddling the most racist, sexist, bigoted stereotypes. One guy called Puerto Rico an “island of garbage.” These are fellow citizens he’s talking about. Here in Philadelphia, they are your neighbors, they are your friends, they are your coworkers.. their kids go to school with your kids. These are Americans. That is the reason why this election should not be close. Here is a good rule: if somebody doesn’t respect you, doesn’t see you as fellow citizens.. you should not vote for them.

This is embarrassing reporting.

1. Musk's Super PAC, America PAC, did not "appear" to tweet an ad calling Harris the C-word. They did tweet it.

2. They have not taken it down. Copies of the ad remain online on official America PAC channels.

Mark Cuban: On one hand you have Donald Trump where 40 out of 44 members of his cabinet turned against him. I’ve never seen that happen to anybody in any circumstances. Ever. I’ve never seen a company like this ever…

#DontLookAway
I am 85 years old. I have experienced the American Dream because I was born a white, American male; I was privileged. Women did not have that privilege, African-Americans did not have that privilege, people of color did not have that privilege, Native Americans did not have that privilege, non- heterosexuals did not have that privilege--it was reserved for white, American males who presented as heterosexual.

In the 1960's and 1970's a sense of optimism filled the air in America, a genuine feeling that the American Dream could be made available to all people regardless of sex, color, creed, race, national origin or sexual orientation. It was a tumultuous time, the civil rights movement, assassinations, the Watergate scandal, the Vietnam War protest movement; nevertheless, there truly was the feeling of a promise of a better tomorrow.

Because we were so optimistic, we let down our guard; we took our freedoms for granted, a big mistake; freedom is a fragile gift that must be closely guarded.

I can't pinpoint the exact time when the change began, I think it was when Ronald Reagan was elected President. A popular actor, a gentle-speaking likeable man, a convert to "conservative" values, a perfect puppet for the elitists, white supremacists and authoritarians who have been ever-present in our society since its very beginnings. "Trickle-down" economics seeped in, anti-trust regulations were relaxed, “Free Markets” was the slogan of the day, human beings were reduced to chits on a profit board, consumerism took hold as the gap between the richest and the poorest widened into an insurmountable divide during the ensuing decades. Money became the weapon of the rich and powerful white supremacists and Fascists who now seek to overthrow our tattered republic. Donald Trump is their latest puppet.

We are in a very dark place--BUT WE ARE STILL A LIVING, BREATHING REPUBLIC.

On November 5th, American citizens will be voting to decide whether our nation will remain a living, breathing Republic or will go the way of Russia, China, India, Hungary and all the other regimes that oppress their people under the heel of totalitarianism. THE CHOICE IS OURS; EVERY VOTE IS CRITICAL; THE SUM TOTAL OF OUR VOTES WILL ECHO THE VOICE OF FREEDOM.

Donald Trump has a fixed base of mindless supporters that will not grow significantly. If freedom-loving voters go to the polls, we can have a decisive victory and we can then begin the long and challenging task of restoring the promise of a better tomorrow, not just for American citizens, but FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS.

I am an old man; I will not live to see my AMERICAN-DREAM-FOR-ALL come true. I have devoted my life to. this cause. Please allow me to celebrate the beginning of a better tomorrow for America and the world. IT CAN HAPPEN ON NOVEMBER 5TH!

Be well.

UPDATE: Robert Kagan confirms to NPR that he has resigned from WaPost editorial board after disclosure it would not make an announcement.

Kagan has been a persistent conservative critic of Trump, tying him to an autocratic tradition.

Uniformly outraged response from staff.

"There has never been a more important presidential election in our lifetime. The road to the White House may well run through Pennsylvania and every vote matters."

Anderson Cooper doesn’t say to Scott Jennings “that’s bullshit.” He should ask himself why.

A good rule of thumb for politics (and life): the person Indiana Jones is punching is the bad guy.
