: Heading to either Cincinnati or Indianapolis today. Dunno which one yet. It depends on how I feel when I get to the former whether or not I drive on to the latter.

I'm really looking forward to my trip.

@MovieNights: It's one of my go-to nostalgia movies. I watch it twice a year or so. I was exited to see it as a kid because it had everyone I recognized, i.e, Wallen, Sheen, Dewhurst. Skerritt, Adams, Campbell, and especially Anthony Zerbe and Herbert Lom.

@MovieNights: Why was it on the poll then? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

: I will make it to Cincinnati tomorrow, hopefully before 4 PM EST.

Wednesday I will make it to Madison, WI, also hopefully before 4 PM CST

Then I will get to my destination in Minnesota between 7 and 9 PM CST the next day.

@MovieNights: I voted for The Dead Zone because it's the most relevant to the current national and global situation.

2/2: πŸ‘

Open calls by various state legislators and even governors for secession from the Union? πŸ‘

A notable uptick in the sales of firearms, especially military-grade stuff, and ammo, not to mention survivalist stores getting cleaned out? πŸ‘

MFs claiming once again they're going to move to another country because nowhere is worse than here in the US? πŸ‘

Sabotage of local infrastructure? πŸ‘

An uptick in church attendance and visits to therapists and shrinks? πŸ‘

We made our collective bed.

1/2: With any luck, I won't be on all that much, either to read things or post, while I'm in MN. For the three days' driving to get there and back is included in that. Not much in re: politics or policy that might happen between now and November 12 will surprise me much, unless it somehow stops interstate traffic while I'm on the road.

An uptick in political violence like arson, "white powder" via post, bomb threats? πŸ‘

Continued outrage over every utterance by whatever side by the other? πŸ‘

@zenmudprod @Chex: This brings us back to the problem. What happens when and if a sitting President and sitting state governors disagree over who the bad guys are, in this case when/if the GOP/MAGA/Q/alt-white launch violence campaigns. Included the murk is when/if Speaker Johnson, part of the GOP/MAGA/Q/alt-white pulls "congressional oversight", this launching a constitutional fight that goes... where else but to the Supreme Court.

@MHS_Jenkins: Yeah, the fascists are really working hard to make sure their Muscovite Candidates win. Violence is all the fascists have when everyone's found out who they are.

@FrankCannon: My uncle Jimmy used to say this, both when he was in the Marines and later when he worked for the railroad:

"I got two speeds. If you don’t like this one, you’re gonna hate the second one."

@zenmudprod @Chex: Too bad that it's Congress' power to do so, because Mike Johnson, a speaker at the Reich Rally, is the Speaker of the House.

@BreakingNews: He was visited by the ghost of Jeffrey Epstein. πŸ˜„
