The 2024 US Presidential Election Watch Thread 💙⭐️💙⭐️💙

[Kätzchen]

So…. *ahem* … I saw a news article over on cnn about how that spray tanned guy thinks he’s the “chosen one” ( scary right?) and that’s why God chose him.

Whatever.

So, remember how people in recent days (or even when somebody let him occupy the white hous) have said he’s delusional? Has anybody from the mental health community come out and told us what his true status is on one or a combination of axis? I know Mary Trump is a licensed head doctor and she’s written extensively about her entire family. Her family is so toxic that she battles old scripts in her mind about if anybody could love her(you).

I was reading over on Quora about people who think they are God — the God Complex. But I’m guessing DJT, since he thinks he’s special, might have an undiagnosed case of schizophrenia??? IDK.

I was reading up on stuff like this and found a thread discussion on a question somebody asked: “Is believing in a god a mental illness theists are unaware of?” Some of the answers from members of the Quora community are very interesting.

Felon 45 and shady vance are really running a campaign full of lying, racist misogynistic and dangerous language.

The thought of them in the White House is beyond scary. We would live in uncertainty, chaos and fear. My better angels told me this will backfire on them, but the damage to our collective psyche will be real.

Hopefully, after we mop the floor with them, trump will be quite busy with the other multiple criminal cases coming down the pike.

Come on Lady Justice!

Exactly, my friend. Come on, Lady Justice!!

Did you see that Bob Woodward has published another book ???

Did you read that Dicktator 45 telephones Dicktator Pee-ewww-ton regularly and even gave him machines to detect Covid for his own personal use???

I love it that President Joe Biden has a prince potty mouth problem..

I like it that VP Kamala Harris speaks honestly about owning a gun and that duh, it’s because she’s a public servant in law enforcement and duh, she even acts responsibly as a gun owner.

But no…. All those two faced cazillionaires would rather Dicktator 45 be their “lord & savior” because of whatever fucked up rationale they think the Amerikan Dicktator will do for them. Yeah. Nothing could be better than letting a person destroy our nation and world standing than their version of reality, right? Ummmm. No. Wrong answer, wrong idea, wrong choice, say it with me: the Amerikan Dicktator 45 is flat out wrong. He’s a well oiled machine but his mechanical parts don’t work for anyone other than himself.

He’s the dystopian American nightmare who will ruin the world with his sickening thought processes and (…).

If we are lucky to run this family out of town and take back the senate and house with our future Madam President Kamala Harris, lots of antiquated Confederate KKK racially based hate filled American customs and laws need immediate attention and redress for the sake of all Americans. And to show the world that hate has no place to thrive in America.

—————————.

Here’s something to think about: I have said recently that the staff members where I work are in love with Dicktator 45. Just the other day, the “October surprise” in our workplace was a staff member who was giving a haircut to a young boy who, after being asked about his experiences at school, the young boy said he worried about tasers. The tone deaf stylist hiding her love for trump has no real idea how children who are not white like her have disturbing realities like his. She couldn’t connect why this young Mexican boy was worried about tasers and dying.

We need, as a nation, to walk away (no, RUN) from hate.

Hate will kill you and kill everything you hold dear.

Also, read Elie Wiesel. Read or listen to about the Perils of Indifference.



Vow to make a difference. It is not easy but worth it to demand a hate free society.

Much love to readers here.

Thank you Ace for your post!!

[Kätzchen]

Yanno, if you listen to a few news bytes over on CNN it might occur to anyone that Trump is a “hurricane” himself. Hurricane Trump: litany of lies, litany of minions overpowering the will of The People, litany of polarization politics, litany of “storm surge” which will drown our nation and essentially kill democracy.

There’s my food for thought today.

Harris for President ✅.

Hurricane Trump ( no fucking way).

Important talking points, the prosecutor vs. the felon.


GOP agenda:

• A society that excludes and criminalizes necessary health care and personal sexual preferences.

• A society that warps the constitution to establish one religion and encourage violence against others.

• Americans pitted against each other along lines of race, color, religion, gender, sexuality, and income.

• Vilification of blacks, Jews, Muslims, lgbtq+ , homeless, and women of strength, encouraging violence against them.

• Destruction of public schools and the opportunity they provide to all, minorities included.

• Funding of private, religious schools to increase class division and unequal access and opportunity.

• Banning of books.

• Devastating climate change

• Leveling the Gaza waterfront to create a Hotel Strip

• Worker's rights and benefits reduced in order to create greater profits for businesses.

• Safety nets removed, so that homeless, and jobless people are left to die on the streets.

• GUNS, everywhere, with no limitations or requirements. Mob rule ( warms Putin's heart )

I could go on but...


Kamala's agenda:

Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has already been pushing for his “redevelopment plan” which is backed by ‘silent investors’, I think.

Hurricane Trump ( no fucking way).

reposting my post to emphasize the horrific ethnic cleansing Nazi-style Trump move on his iterations of sending Haitians home who are here legally and his son in law who has already gotten “silent” investors for his real estate plans for Serbia, Gaza and a host of other ‘available’ properties.

Trump is reimagining Hitler and will be worse than Hitler.

Please don’t let this horrid “Hurricane Trump” destroy the lives of others (here and world wide).

[A. Spectre]

First, I must disclose that I believe Joe and Meeeeka are partly to blame for the orange cretin back in the day when they would let him phone in to the show and yap and yap ad nauseam. Numerous hours of free publicity. Besides, poor Meeeka can never finish a thought without interruptus.

However, they have improved over the last few years to being a 'never Trumper.'

They had on a man today who blames trump for his father-in-law refusing help from FEMA.


Here is an interaction with Dan Abrams with someone discussing his father-in-law:

"ANTHONY: My father-in-law lives just outside of Asheville, North Carolina, and he was badly damaged by Hurricane Helene. And he has refused all FEMA help because he's a hardcore trumper. He literally believes that if he accepts anything from FEMA, they're going to take his house.

ANTHONY: I don't understand how so many people are under the spell of this freaking con man. I don't understand it.

DAN ABRAMS: It's absolutely heartbreaking about your father-in-law. I'm so sorry to hear it, um you know--

ANTHONY: Dan, it's hard. It's hard to even imagine it. I mean, he lost almost everything, and he's refusing all help from the federal government and complaining to us that he doesn't have food, that he doesn't have the stuff he need, and yet he won't accept the help. What the hell are we supposed to do? We're not in a position to be able to fly across the country and help him. There's people begging us to get him to accept help and he won't do it. And I guarantee you, I'm not the only one. I guarantee you I'm not the only one.

DAN ABRAMS: I wish there was something I could say as to, you know, I don't know. Is there ---does he have access to any electronics where you could send him some information debunking this and that he might --

ANTHONY: We've done all of that. We've done all of that. We've sent him, we've sent him all the FEMA bulletins. We've sent hi all the stuff from the fact checkers. He doesn't believe it. He thinks it's all --- he just believes trump, literally, Dan. He just ---- it's a cult! He's a cult member. I'm sorry to say it. He's a cult member. And he's my father-in-law and it sucks"

trumps vicious lies have real life consequences! He is one evil fucker!

[Kätzchen]

Did you know that grassroots supporters and others have raised 1 billion in cash donations for the Kamala Harris campaign???

LINK: https://www.msnbc.com/chris-jansing-...n-221313093565


Psst (fashion alert, lol): Chris Jansing is wearing a white jacket (it’s after Labor Day )


Taylor Swift donated 5Million to hurricane victim relief agencies to help people who are hurt by Hurricane Helene and Milton. WTG Ms. Swift ������

There is every reason to believe that the Electoral College count system will finally burn in hell, but it’s not going to burn down fast enough if Hurricane Trump and his corrupt GOP allies win the election.


I’m trying to find positive news but it’s getting real hard to find the light at the end of the tunnel.


Can we reach a united consensus that evil fuckers of modern day need to be out of the picture… And, gone for good???

Just ask anybody who has lost a loved one in Gaza or Israel or Turkey or Ukraine or in any country where repressive regimes (45’s last presidency where hundreds of thousands of people died from Covid because of his lies and his lies daily about x y or z) are upending and claiming lives daily.

(( good bye Trump, goodbye Putin, goodbye Orban, goodbye you lying sack of crap Netanyahu, goodbye dictators world wide)).

[Kätzchen]

Obama needs no introduction because he is a time tested, proven leader.

In the final days leading up to the life changing Presidential election,
It’s calming my nerves to hear him take Trump to task.

I can’t live in fear of a Trump presidency.


I sure hope that a massive wave of support shows up for Kamala and that the oppressive and repressive GOP Republican Party gets what it deserves: nobody’s vote for hateful, undemocratic lie filled years ahead.

Kamala for the win because we are not going back.

Jazz artists are coming out for VP Harris in NYC this weekend. Sounds like a last minute get together but it also sounds like it will be a fun night with different artists popping in for some jam sessions.

Kenny Barron will be there and here he is on piano.



Would love to go but it’s not meant to be for me.

VP Harris will be in my neck of the woods on Friday.

[Kätzchen]

That is lovely, Orema. Thanks for sharing about jazz artists for Kamala.



——————————————.



It’s just a matter of a few weeks to go. I’ve not gotten my ballot in the mail. Usually the ballot comes with the ballot voter booklet but all I got last week was the voter booklet. And it was jacked up. I am going by the county office for the Democratic Party tomorrow to find out if I’m ever going to get a ballot.

From November 5th to January 6th of 2025 will be the scariest slide into whether our country remains a Democracy or if the evil family of Trump throws us all under the Trump bus into fascism on Trump Drugs. So damn scary. Fucking accordion hands losers.

Some FEMA operations paused in North Carolina after reports National Guard troops saw 'armed militia' threatening them

On Saturday, FEMA workers had to halt their work in Rutherford County due to reports that National Guard troops saw “armed militia” threatening the workers, according to the Washington Post, which cited an email to federal agencies helping with the response, verified by unnamed federal officials. It’s not clear if the threat was credible.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/14/us/fe...ats/index.html


My god! What the fuck does trump need to do before the DOJ does something?! Have we forgotten the fucker is out on bail?! If stoking violence doesn't evoke bond, what fucking does?

Oh, and what do the stranded libertarians who have no electricity, water screaming for the federal government to do something!

[easygoingfemme]

I had a dream last night that I was up on top of a high mountain. Somehow trump was like, airlifted up it, and was standing there in his stupid suit and stupid shoes. And then, in my dream, he somehow...um... fell off of the top of the mountain. I tore down the mountain giddy about how the future had just changed.

I just kind of scanned headline news stories over on MSNBC and found Mark Cuban’s interview with Rachel fairly interesting. I like it that at one time he gave some positive notions , years ago , about DJT — but nowadays his opinion about Trump being a good businessman is a no-brainer because Donald is *not* anybody with a track record of conducting good business. Other than Donald’s bromance with E. Musk, Mark Cuban’s opinion is vastly different now because duh he’s been found out how bad he is a business. Is it good business acumen to grift money off people for whatever jacked up reason DJT is selling??? I’m pretty sure if there were a Grifter’s Anonymous meeting he wouldn’t be accepted at all due to his lack of remorse for other people, including himself. He’s a monster, for real. His legion of bad actors… who are as unhinged as he is, is a gigantic warning sign nobody can afford to ignore.


———————————————.

After I attend my doctor appts today I plan to go see the movie “The Apprentice.” The fact that DJT worshipped Roy Cohn (an in your face gay man with no morals or ethics during the McCarthy era) screams deafening levels of hypocrisy in the face of what people *think* they know about DJT. I never went to see Barbie, but I do want to see this movie. I’m pretty sure it depicts a more real picture of the con-man known as DJT.


I feel sorry for anybody who has been a wife or girl friend to anybody like DJT and it’s sickening how his current wife is still standing by his side. Truly another WTF moment in American culture. It just goes to show how sick minded, bad acting people trap women into drain-circling relationships and how women find it difficult to untangle themselves from abusive con-artists.

As I was just watching DJT's music and dance fest from yesterday, I couldn't help but remember that musicality is one of the last things to leave a person who has dementia.

Trump is just stalling for time. His allies will take front and center stage on November 5th and conduct a several weeks long shit show to try to steal the Presidency for a second time. It’s not Trump we should be worried about (although I am worried somewhat). But — It’s his co-conspirators and The racist Robert’s Court (SCOTUS) that will aide and abet his biggest heist yet in crime.

F^ck Trump. And F^ck all his White Nationalist MAGA-t perpetrators.

————————————.

Just like Rosie The Riverter, from WWII days, women and our masculine allies will get the job done. ✅


Say it with me, “We’re not going back,” — Kamala Harris.

[Kätzchen]

If you haven’t read about how Special Counsel Jack Smith now submits his latest findings on how DJT is responsible for January 6th, you can watch this video and read about it here: LINK: https://www.msnbc.com/jose-diaz-bala...s-221887557527

Also, check out a Guatemalan father and a then 9-y.o. son who were separated at the border under the last reign of terror by DJT: LINK: https://www.msnbc.com/jose-diaz-bala...t-221891653739


I’m really glad Kamala’s interview with Charlamagn Tha God went well. I like this press release that is from the Detroit Free Press : LINK: https://www.freep.com/story/news/pol...w/75687986007/


So much is at stake. Be Brave. Be Courageous. Take a stand against DJT’s brand of fascism. Vote Blue!

[chefhmboyrd]

At this point, the Toxic Trump campaign is not even trying to win. He is counting on his apparatus to go full denial and "Fixed Election" when he loses by a definitive margin. He will claim fraud and sue the states and election officials. He has a bigger more effective team this time.

[Kätzchen]

I was thinking this morning that it seems like we have a huge double standard with regard to how American men treat women. Remember how America used to get involved with other countries in how they treated their women folk (Afghanistan, Iraq/Iran, any country who demonstrated a penchant for dehumanizing women and mistreating them)???

Just the other day, over on Foxx news (I never watch their shit show crap), Kamala Harris had to endure being talked over, and basically mistreated so all the Magat watchers could revel in a woman being mistreated for the sake of news coverage when there was nothing newsworthy about that in-your-face treatment, legitimated by a network that is not newsworthy at all.

LINK: https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-...ier-rcna175823

There’s nothing special about broadcasting a news interview where your lack of professionalism and lack of civility is on display for all others to see the REAL way women are treated in American society.

Women being raped by male oppressors, women being beat by male abusers because they won’t kowtow to male oppression tactics, women’s right being erased by Toxic Males in powerful positions (…).

There’s nothing “golden” or “beautiful” about Amerika that lets toxic masculinity prevail and carry on as if our country cares about female bodied individuals (women).

Thankfully, the CMO (chief marketing officer from the 1990s era) of NBC came out and disclosed to its viewers how they elevated DJT to look like a successful businessman when they knew he was not successful at all and apologized to their millions of viewers how they mislead the audience into thinking that DJT was real special. This news article and video was featured today on CNN.



Yeah. Makes you wonder why the former marketing officer of The Apprentice grew a back bone and decided to come out and tell the unvarnished truth about how they conned people into thinking DJT was so successful when the reality was (and still is!!) that DJT is “king” of failed business practices just so he can be paid to illustrate the BIG LIE about who he really is.

Lucky me and lucky for others that we could see through his carefully orchestrated lies.

[A. Spectre]

There is no bottom to his crap.


Now he's talking about Arnold Palmer in the shower

Yesterday in Pennsylvania, he spent the first 10 minutes of his speech talking about Arnold Palmer.

“Arnold Palmer was all man. And I say that in all due respect to women and I love women. But this guy, this guy, this is a guy that was all man. This man was strong and tough. And I refused to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said, ‘Oh my God, that’s unbelievable,’” Trump said.


Afterwards, he referred to Kamala Harris, saying: “You’re a shit vice president,” And his crowd of morons cheered and began chanting it.

Here is a quote from Palmer's daughter in 2018:
