MICHAEL STEELE… on MSNBC’s The Weekend today, speaking to a Dem. Congresswoman…

ā€œ Y’all need to chill on all this Kumbaya, bipartisan crap.

Because at the end of the day, here’s your headline…
… 2. ā€œā€¦ ā€˜Republicans shoot down Democratic request to ditch party line immigration push, and write a bipartisan Bill instead’.

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

SEEN ON TIKTOK…

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.
… 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 OPTIMISM…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€,

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

But… you must never give up.

DON’T MISUNDERSTAND… It’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.
… 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. It’s found a home in their racist, homophobic, and misogynistic ideology.

YOU THINK YOUR GOP VOTE AND YOUR WHITE SKIN… 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 you’re elected officials tell you that,
… 2. … 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 you’re told that, in order for you to succeed the rich need to get richer.

THERE IS A HOUSE IN A SMALL N. GEORGIA TOWN…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.

trump’s nominees are a study in the absurd.

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

For AG, Head of the DOJ
… 2. Tulsi Gabbard (the woman Hillary Clinton outed as a Russian asset)

Director of National Security

Tom Homan (the man who said, the way to deport without splitting apart families…was to deport the whole family)

Border Czar

THIS IS FOR ALL THE WOMEN WHO VOTED FOR trump… right now you’re living in your post election glow. Enjoy while you can.

I don’t wish this on anyone but, statistics show that there will come a day,
… 2. …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, we’ve just been expected to absorb male behavior, silently.

WHAT I EXPECT ON 11/5…
1. @KamalaHarris will win the election.
2. Early in the evening, before all polls are closed, trump will declare himself the winner.
… 2.
3. MSM will cover trump’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:
MSM… do not air or cover trump’s unsubstantiated declarations of victory.

OPINION:

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

IT’S BECOME AS CLEAR AS A MEDICAL STAFF WHEN APPLYING DEFIBRILLATOR PADDLES…that the money-men behind Project 2025 are out on trump.

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

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

And admitting that he would’ve done what Pence didn’t.

I’M ABOUT TO BE UNPOPULAR… 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€.
… 2. I’m sick of it.

If trump saying that he wants to ā€œtear up the Constitutionā€ isn’t enough to motivate you to get off the couch…

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

Then you are ignoring the facts…his bloviating rhetoric is a threat.

SOMETHING IS HAPPENING… 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.
… 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 RECESS… with devastating Hurricane Helene barreling through the Southeast. The GOP SOTH called a fu€king recess.

Only the House has the power to fund FEMA.

And where is the House?

STILL IN RECESS.

This isn’t grade school.

You have a job.

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

THE MAGA MELTDOWN…about Taylor Swift’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, they’re fu€ked, and they know it.

It’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 music…they assumed, erroneously, that she was one of them.

It’s an easy, 2 1/2 hr jaunt that I’ve taken so many times, I could do it in my sleep.

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

I’m not being a smart ass, I really want to know.

What am I missing?

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

OPINION:
IF THE RUMOR ABOUT trump & Netanyahu IS TRUE… if trump is really colluding with bibi to stall the cease fire in Gaza, not only is that more of his attempted election interference,
… 2. …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 trump’s version of diplomacy is akin to back room negotiations between mob families.
