MICHAEL STEELEā€¦ on MSNBCā€™s The Weekend today, speaking to a Dem. Congresswomanā€¦

ā€œ Yā€™all need to chill on all this Kumbaya, bipartisan crap.

Because at the end of the day, hereā€™s your headlineā€¦
ā€¦ 2. ā€œā€¦ ā€˜Republicans shoot down Democratic request to ditch party line immigration push, and write a bipartisan Bill insteadā€™.

Senate Republicans are making clear that they will pursue a border package without Democratic input.

SEEN ON TIKTOKā€¦

Until 1964, an employer could refuse to hire someone just for being a woman.

Until 1965, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to prescribe birth control for married women.
ā€¦ 2. Until 1972, it was legal for a bank to refuse to let a married woman get her own account.

Until 1972, it was legal for a doctor to refuse to prescribe birth control for a single woman.

Until 1974, it was legal to refuse to sell a house to a woman.

PRACTICE RECKLESS OPTIMISMā€¦as loudly and as often as you can.

The next 4 yrs may be filled with one head-snapping News story after another.

Your most often used shorthand may be ā€œWTAF?ā€,
ā€¦ 2. ā€¦your ability/desire to watch the News may become nonexistent.

There may be days when you search for the cheapest flight to ā€œAnywhere but hereā€.

Butā€¦ you must never give up.

Check out for a minute when you need to, but always come back.

DONā€™T MISUNDERSTANDā€¦ Itā€™s not the Nazi flag waving, confederate flag toting, Mein Kampf quoting, MAGA cult members that have me concerned and confused. I see them coming from a mile away.
ā€¦ 2. Their undying loyalty to trump is based on hatred of the same people. Coupled with their almost pathological need to blame some outside force/person/group for their unfortunate lot in life. Itā€™s found a home in their racist, homophobic, and misogynistic ideology.

YOU THINK YOUR GOP VOTE AND YOUR WHITE SKINā€¦ will protect you. You cheer the speeches that tell you, tax breaks for the rich will fix YOUR problems.
Your smile and nod in agreement when youā€™re elected officials tell you that,
ā€¦ 2. ā€¦ even though $ has been taken out of your paycheck for years, SS and Medicare are ā€œentitlementsā€ and you are simply not entitled enough, to receive them. You shout ā€œhell yeah!ā€, when youā€™re told that, in order for you to succeed the rich need to get richer.

THERE IS A HOUSE IN A SMALL N. GEORGIA TOWNā€¦it was built by my maternal great-great grandfather. There is an historical marker in the front yard because this house, has a storied past.
ā€¦ 2. As a child, this house was revered by my elders as a monument to my familyā€™s history.
As a child, I remember being told its story by my grandmother, I remember taking the journey with her to see the house and read the marker.

BREAKING A CHRISTMAS TRADITION THIS YEARā€¦For years I have spent the day after Christmas with my out of town family.

Not this year.

About a month ago I did a FB post that a member of the family took issue with.

Matt Gaetz (under investigation for sex trafficking and sex with a minor)

For AG, Head of the DOJ

Director of National Security

Tom Homan (the man who said, the way to deport without splitting apart familiesā€¦was to deport the whole family)

OPINON:
THIS IS FOR ALL THE WOMEN WHO VOTED FOR trumpā€¦ right now youā€™re living in your post election glow. Enjoy while you can.

I donā€™t wish this on anyone but, statistics show that there will come a day,
ā€¦ 2. ā€¦when you or someone you love will find themselves in need of emergency, life-saving care.

Maybe an ectopic pregnancy, or a partial miscarriage, maybe an abnormality that threatens the motherā€˜s life, or any number of other reasons she might need a full/partial abortion.

ā€œThe most rage, provoking element of being a female is, the gaslighting.

For centuries, weā€™ve just been expected to absorb male behavior, silently.
ā€¦. 2. ā€œOften times when we, in our enlightened state and our emboldened state, now, respond to bad male behaviorā€¦ that response is treated like the offense itself.ā€

WHAT I EXPECT ON 11/5ā€¦
1. @KamalaHarris will win the election.
2. Early in the evening, before all polls are closed, trump will declare himself the winner.
ā€¦ 2.
3. MSM will cover trumpā€™s premature election declaration.
4. MAGA will scream ā€œriggedā€, and ā€œstolenā€.
5. The possibility of violence will be palpable.

One way to avoid this:
MSMā€¦ do not air or cover trumpā€™s unsubstantiated declarations of victory.

OPINION:

SO trump CALLS @KamalaHarris A MARXIST, A COMMUNIST, A SOCIALIST, AND A FASCISTā€¦I assume that the fact that being all 4 is mutually exclusive and philosophically impossible, is lost on him.
ā€¦ 2. Marxism is a social/political theory, not a political Party. It is this theory that led to Communism.

ITā€™S BECOME AS CLEAR AS A MEDICAL STAFF WHEN APPLYING DEFIBRILLATOR PADDLESā€¦that the money-men behind Project 2025 are out on trump.

It began when they made trump choose vance as his running mate.
ā€¦ 2. I mean what an odd choice. A Jr Senator with no juice and virtually no experience.

But, what he does have is Peter Thielā€™s money and a willingness to shift his political leanings to just right of Attila the Hun.

And admitting that he wouldā€™ve done what Pence didnā€™t.

Iā€™M ABOUT TO BE UNPOPULARā€¦ so fasten your seatbelts.

I am so tired of people saying:
ā€œDemocrats need to stop taking the (fill in the blank) voters for grantedā€.

ā€œHarris needs to court the (fill in the blank) voteā€.
ā€¦ 2. Iā€™m sick of it.

If trump saying that he wants to ā€œtear up the Constitutionā€ isnā€™t enough to motivate you to get off the couchā€¦

Referring to his political opponents as ā€œenemies from withinā€ā€¦

Then you are ignoring the factsā€¦his bloviating rhetoric is a threat.

THE DYSTOPIAN FUTURE YOUā€™VE BEEN WARNED ABOUTā€¦is upon us.

Texas sues to stop a rule that shields the medical records of women who seek abortions elsewhere apnews.com/article/abortiā€¦ 2.

SOMETHING IS HAPPENINGā€¦ coming into this election.

Here is my anecdotal evidence.

My friend, who is very blue, has a friend, and she and her husband, are very MAGA.

Their TV is on Fox News 24/7.
ā€¦ 2. I was on the phone with my friend last night, and he told me something remarkable.

It seems that he had a conversation the other day with her and she told him that she was going to vote for @KamalaHarris.

HE CALLED A RECESSā€¦ with devastating Hurricane Helene barreling through the Southeast. The GOP SOTH called a fuā‚¬king recess.

Only the House has the power to fund FEMA.
ā€¦ 2. And now another potential disaster is in the gulf, heading for FL.

And where is the House?

STILL IN RECESS.

This isnā€™t grade school.

You have a job.

POTUS asked that the House be called back into session to facilitate much needed relief.

THE MAGA MELTDOWNā€¦about Taylor Swiftā€™s endorsement of #HarrisWalz is must-see TV.

Their ā€œShut-up and singā€ feels, are all over the place.

Which only goes to show, theyā€™re fuā‚¬ked, and they know it.
ā€¦ 2. IMHO:
Itā€™s always been a love-hate relationship for them, when it comes to TS.

When she first came on the scene, she was a pretty teenager, a ā€œgood girlā€ type, and because she was a Christian and in country musicā€¦they assumed, erroneously, that she was one of them.

2 WEEKS AGOā€¦I was driving up to the mountains, as I do every year at this time.

Itā€™s an easy, 2 1/2 hr jaunt that Iā€™ve taken so many times, I could do it in my sleep.
ā€¦ 2. 45 mins or so on the interstate, that then turns into a highway. About another hour, then you reach what I call the ā€œmountain roadā€ but is actually another highway. Another 30mins or so, on a windy road complete with scenic outlook pull offs.

DEAR UNDECIDED VOTER,
Exactly what, is causing you so much consternation, that you simply cannot make up your mind?

Iā€™m not being a smart ass, I really want to know.

What am I missing?
ā€¦ 2. Do you not believe there is such a thing as Project 2025, or have you not read it?

Are you someone who thinks that ā€œboth Parties are the sameā€, and youā€™re just fed up with the whole thing?

I get it.

OPINION:
IF THE RUMOR ABOUT trump & Netanyahu IS TRUEā€¦ if trump is really colluding with bibi to stall the cease fire in Gaza, not only is that more of his attempted election interference,
ā€¦ 2. ā€¦not only is it, once again, an example of his total disregard for the lives of anybody, in this case, Israelis and Palestinians alike, but it shows that trumpā€™s version of diplomacy is akin to back room negotiations between mob families.
