Regardless of who wins the presidential election, I’ll continue to boycott businesses who flaunted their support of Trump. In a small town like mine, that limits my options. The pet supply store selling red “MAGA hat” dog cookies? The awesome kitchen supply store where the owner and staff openly lamented Trump’s felony convictions as an unfair “witch hunt?” I used to spend “bigly” at both. You could’ve stayed neutral, but you love the felon more than love me. Duly noted. #Politics
This political cartoon by David Horsey brilliantly captures Mango Mussolini’s infatuation with fascism. This cartoon is from…

If billionaires like Eeeelon can throw away million$ every day, they do not need or deserve massive tax cuts. #Politics
Maybe, just maybe, there’s only a finite amount of political energy in any campaign season and as Kamala Harris gains energy, Trump loses energy. Hope she continues her rise! #Politics
From NBC News, this intriguing graphic is a stark reminder that when Dems turn out, they WIN. It’s only gerrymandering and voter suppression (and voter apathy) that hold us back. We have the numbers; do we have the WILL? #Politics
One infuriating observation on my way home from voting: I live in a tourist town where much of the labor force works in restaurants. There’s a huge billboard with Trump grinning and giving the “thumbs up” simply saying “No Taxes On Tips!” Anybody believing that he could or would implement such a change (which wouldn’t change state tax law) is an idiot. However, there’s a great willingness to embrace the unbelievable rather examine Trump’s track record of lies and broken promises. #Politics
Even with Eeeelon by his side, Mango Mussolini simply cannot deploy technology. #Politics

Hey, #MAGA Republicans in Congress loudly parroting #Trump’s appalling lies about #FEMA diverting tax dollars to facilitate illegal immigration: if that’s even remotely possible [it’s not] then WHY haven’t you held #Benghazi like HEARINGS about it? Sounds like dereliction of duty…or more vicious LIES. #Politics
Why I think polls are utter garbage: the greater the lead that #Harris opens up over #MangoMussolini, the wider the margin of error becomes. VOTE in numbers too gigantic to question. Shut down and shut up these worthless media click scavengers. #Politics
Another morning, another so, so worried look on the faces of Morning Joe and Mika who are so, so horrified at Trump’s latest outrage. These two besotted sycophants turned over their show to Mango Mussolini, welcoming him, gazing lovingly into his eyes, lobbing him softball questions, even fixing his damn hair, normalizing him to the American public. Mika and Joe, you have a hell of a nerve thinking that we we’ll forgive or forget your complicity in the ensuing American carnage. #Politics
#Project2025 calls for the elimination of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as punishment for their promulgation of #ClimateChange information. #FEMA responses will suffer. My former employer was a FEMA contractor; we provided supplemental field staff responding to disasters. Accurate forecasts enabled FEMA to preposition personnel and resources, better for everyone. MAGA prefers chaos and suffering. Vote accordingly. The life you save may be your own. #Politics
I’ve seen all sorts of scary Halloween yard decorations around my neighborhood but the one that frightened me the most was a sign saying “Veterans for Trump.” #Politics
If I didn’t know better - and I don’t - I’d think that Mango Mussolini’s plan for a Day of Violence™️ is simply a transactional quid-pro-quo “deal.” He probably figures, “yeah, my folks beat the crap out of police officers on January 6th, so the police get their own day to beat the crap out of criminals across the country. Then we’re even, and America can move on.” #Politics
My informal tally of political hard signs here in my neighborhood in North Carolina has revealed something interesting. More than half of the Trump signs don’t list Vance. NONE of the Harris signs omit Walz. #Politics
Trump’s pathological fear of sharks is well known, but there’s something in the ocean that evokes even MORE dread: the “flipper.” Looks like Jack Smith has located a few more of them. Be afraid, Donnie…. be very afraid. #Politics
