DNC drags Jill Stein’s wretched ass in timely ad. https://democrats.org/news/dnc-releases-new-ad-calling-out-jill-stein-as-a-spoiler-for-trump/

For those who argue that doing away with the electoral college would mean ceding the election to the most populous states - how is that any different to ceding it to a minority in a few swing states?

Of the 240 million Americans eligible to vote, the expectation is that only 160 million of us actually will.

You gotta love the way Putin clowns Trump for grins. Trump sheepishly denies sending COVID testing machines to Putin. Upon learning of Trump’s denial, Putin immediately confirm receipt of the machines. And idiot Trump thinks Putin is his friend: https://www.axios.com/2024/10/09/trump-putin-covid-testing-equipment-kremlin The Kremlin on Wednesday confirmed a report that former President Trump sent Russian President Vladimir Putin COVID-19 testing equipment during the height of the pandemic. Why it matters: The Trump campaign categorically denied new revelations in journalist Bob Woodward's book "War," which renewed scrutiny of the relationship between Putin and the Republican presidential nominee. Catch up quick: Woodward reported in his book that during the early days of the pandemic, Trump sent scarcely available COVID-19 testing machines for the Russian leader's personal use.

How can it be when 40% of the country is willingly voting for a convicted felon?

Didn’t know the mark of the beast also came in black. Good deal!

Republicans in Texas choose to believe because we are essentially a non voting state, their stronghold on statewide offices is an endorsement of their failed leadership. It is not. It is proof of Texas’ lack of voter engagement.

This is so much bullshit. As much as I expect it, I get so damn tired of these right wing m’fers trying to convince themselves of our intellectual inferiority.

Let’s hope dental coverage will be in the next expansion: FACT SHEET: A Historic Medicare at Home Plan to Support the Sandwich Generation Vice President Harris and Governor Walz Will Strengthen Medicare to—for the First Time Ever—Cover Home Care for Seniors and Provide Hearing and Vision Coverage Will Lower Costs and Reduce the Financial and Emotional Stress of Americans in the “Sandwich Generation” Navigating Care for Aging Parents and Children

Yes he was: Donald Trump reportedly asked Vladimir Putin for his advice on whether the US should help arm Ukraine at their first in-person meeting. The Republican presidential nominee, who has been vocal in his criticism of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, reportedly asked Putin “what do you think?” when the pair met in Hamburg in 2017, according to The New York Times. Trump has wildly claimed Putin “would never have gone into Ukraine” if he were president and has touted his “very good relationship” with him several times. The meeting — which took place three years after Russian forces invaded the Crimean peninsula — was “an opening” for Putin to begin exploiting Trump’s “escalating political grudge” against Ukraine in a bid to weaken US support for the country, officials who were privy to the exchange have shared with the newspaper. Trump had only been in office for seven months when the pair met. Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson attended the meeting, which was “a masterclass” by Putin to mold the relatively new president’s approach to Ukraine, according to The Times

Because Trump has gone full eugenicist, I predict he’ll close out his campaign with a volley of slurs covering every race and shit hole nation he can identify: https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-goes-on-eugenics-rant-and-claims-some Donald Trump revealed an unhinged eugenics theory Monday, claiming during a morning rant that some migrants have “bad genes” that make them predisposed to committing murder. Trump spent a good chunk of an interview on the The Hugh Hewitt radio show slamming the policies of his political opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, and baselessly accused her of wanting to install a communist government

Sounds like Texags and TigerDroppings to me.

I’m United Methodist. Duh.

Met Colin this morning at church. He didn’t speak but participated in the service and hung around afterward to talk and pose for pics with congregants.

Este.

Giggle: X value now down 80% since Elon Musk takeover

She’s mad a the Harris County Dems for retiring her.

There are loads of them who just can’t figure to get out of the corner they’ve painted themselves into. Saving face is hard.

Ever since Sister Fabian made us memorize the names of all US presidents, and all of the president’s cabinet officials, I’ve felt the need to know stuff.

It was too depressing to add she said she heard of George Bush but didn’t mention Obama. These grown people know nothing about the world they’re living in.

In order for Texas to realize its full potential, much work must be done in black and brown communities to educate non voters. Spoke with my sister yesterday after her routine visit to the doctor. She had this exchange with a young Latina RN who graduated from Angelo State: Sister: isn’t it wonderful to see Jimmy Carter celebrate his 100th birthday? Nurse: Who is Jimmy Carter? Sister: He’s the former POTUS Nurse: I’m not into politics, although my brother is trying to teach me more about it. I’ve had similar dispiriting conversations with young (and old) black people when canvassing neighborhoods for votes.

Most people aren’t aware that Bibi is not a practicing religious Jew. Most evangelicals just assume he is.

When Trump finally loses, it won’t be because Bibi didn’t do everything satanically possible to help him win.

Anybody catch Rachael’s segment on JD Vance and this Yarvin character? What’s the deal with all these right wingers with elite educations wanting to abolish universities and install dictators?
