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

[Kätzchen]

8days until Election Day: which side will you be on and who will get your vote?

Will American’s turn out in record numbers to save America from the toxic tyrant known as Trump?

I refuse to let a toxic tyrant ruin my life or ruin our country.

I refuse to buy anything from Amazon or read WP (fuck u bayzos).

I refuse to let our country drown in debt and choose to elect a responsible woman who has given her life to public service and deserves to represent our country who understands how to make effective decisions in our best interest.

I refuse to let a spoiled baby rule the roost.

Scram Trump. Beat it. Goodbye loser.


Hello Freedom: Harris Walz 2024 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I can’t help but feel abandoned by time honored news outlets like NYT’s and WP and I did not even suspect David Muir’s Republican mindset until other news casters outted his membership in the GOP party, and I’m seriously offended by the paywall money grab on CNN and the inkling of Trumpism that I see leaking amid their news coverage.

Will media start reporting in non-partisan fashion and can they limit the oxygen given to the Trump-Maga-cult followers as if they are of sound mind when it’s obvious to others in America and abroad that they are not of sound mind and rational decision making???

I can hardly believe that the majority of voters in AZ or NEV will hand our country over to a person guilty of fraudulent business practices, sexual assault charges and the chief liar of all time.

WTF (does not even come close to the treachery espoused by Church of Trump and his sickening family members and social deviants).

I’m leaving this video tonight so anybody can watch it when you’ve got about a half hour of time.

Today while out on errands and attending my doctor appointment, I was waiting at a traffic light near my doctor’s office when a white Tesla 2 door car sat next to me. As we both went forward I saw a huge “HARRIS 2024” window sign across the back window. 2 ladies older than me driving it. I honked and waved and zipped my window down to shout for joy!!!🤩

PS/ did you all see where somebody set ballot drop off boxes on fire in town here and across the river in Vancouver???

Don’t worry, we’re on it. Big trouble for the bad actors who did it.

Across the United States, companies that rely on foreign suppliers are preparing to raise prices in response to the massive import tariffs that former president Donald Trump promises if he wins the election Tuesday.

Producers of a range of items, including clothing, footwear, baby products, auto parts and hardware, say they will pass along the cost of the tariffs to their American customers.

The planned price increases next year would come as consumers are beginning to enjoy relief from the highest inflation in four decades and directly contradict Trump’s repeated assurances that foreigners will pay the tariff tab.

“We’re set to raise prices,” Timothy Boyle, chief executive of Columbia Sportswear, said in an interview. “We’re buying stuff today for delivery next fall. So we’re just going to deal with it and we’ll just raise the prices. … It’s going to be very, very difficult to keep products affordable for Americans.”


Come on Butch/femme Planet! Let's hear a big hell yeah for Kamala/Walz!

I understand talking about what you had for dinner and what brings you joy is important, but come the fuck on! Engage in this topic! THIS is so damn important for you, for your sisters, your children, your loved ones!

I share the same sentiment as you, Ace. Let’s hear it from our membership here.

—————————————.

In our local free newspaper, Willamette Weekly, they profiled Boyle — CEO of Columbia Sportwear. Gert, the original owner would be pissed off with Boyle for his type of leadership of her company (she passed away a few years ago).

Boyle drags in millions of dollars annually, his salary is over a million annually, and most like he’s already penned his golden parachute (fleecing the company and future buyers, is what I’m guessing).

He has a fortress in the West Hills of Portland. He pays his water bills, but the water company in town has a program for low income people who are behind on their water bills. The water companies new AI picked Boyle to pay off his huge water bill, at a 40% discount, when he definitely does not need that type of help. In fact, earlier this year a local family had its checking accounts frozen and left them penniless due to a water bill their now-deceased relative never paid. The entire family is on disability income and faced horrific financial penalties from the water company. Yet Boyle took advantage of this program paying his water bill. Even if it was in error, they’ve had plenty of time to retract and give that money back but they haven’t.
