Harris accuse Trump being a fascist.

For me hearing this, indicate a sound of desperation.

Harris is a Marxist.

If you look on X/Twitter you'll see just how bad it is.

No, just highly opinionated. Though I can see how some might get the impression of division if all they do is follow Russian Twitter bots and watch TV specials all day. Somebody hit us and we’ll band together like a pack of hyenas to kick their arse like we did the British in ‘76

As much as Buddahaid & Vienna have lost their way ;) :D. I’d still shake their hands and buy the first round if I ever had the privilege to meet them. Especially Vienna I bet he’s got some damn good stories to tell. :()1:

What about Trump's obvious decline? Age and senility suddenly doesn't matter anymore?


Btw, can you show an example where fascism has EVER not come back to bite its middle and working class enablers in their posteriors? Do you REALLY think you're protected because you're some middle aged white guy? I'm sure there are guys like you from 1933 who lost their sons at Stalingrad.

Everybody sounds like they’re whistling past the graveyard these days.

Yes there seems to be a lot of that these days.

November 5th is a lot scarier than October 31st. I wish that, "None of the Above" was an option on the ballot.

Since it's not, I'll just stay out here in the middle of nowhere and mind my own business. People who believe that the two-party dominated system constitutes a democracy can do the voting.

This should be the National Anthem...

Voter fraud found in PA. So it begins.

[Die Welt] The US daily newspaper “Washington Post” is breaking with tradition: there will be no official recommendation for a candidate in this election. This was announced by the newspaper's managing editor on Friday. “The Washington Post will not endorse a presidential candidate in this election,” writes managing editor Will Lewis. “Nor will we in future presidential elections. We are returning to our roots and not endorsing any presidential candidates.” Accordingly, the “Washington Post” has only regularly issued an election recommendation since 1976.

This decision should not be understood as a “tacit endorsement of one candidate or a condemnation of another,” Lewis continues. According to the editorial team, editors of the newspaper had already written an article on the so-called endorsement, the election recommendation, for Kamala Harris. It was the billionaire owner of the “Washington Post”, Jeff Bezos, who decided not to publish the text, it is said.

The Washington Post's decision sparked outrage. The former editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Marty Baron, wrote on X: “This is cowardice, and democracy is falling victim to it.” Reporters from CNN and the news site “Semafor” also reported that the chief commentator of the “WaPo”, Robert Kagan, had resigned in protest.

Shortly before the “Washington Post” announced its decision, the tabloid “New York Post” went public on Friday with an election recommendation for Donald Trump. The Republican was the right choice, wrote the newspaper, which belongs to the group owned by conservative media entrepreneur Rupert Murdoch. Just four years ago, after the events of January 6, the “New York Post” had judged that Trump had proven himself unworthy of ever being the country's head of state again.

A few days ago, the head of commentary at the Los Angeles Times resigned because the owner of the newspaper, biotech entrepreneur Patrick Soon-Shiong, had also prevented an election endorsement for Kamala Harris. Soon-Shiong wrote on X that he had instead wanted a balance sheet of the two candidates' terms in office, but had agreed with the editors to refrain from doing so. The Los Angeles Times continues to make endorsements for the other decisions coming up on Election Day, such as Senate positions, city councils, school boards and referendums.

Just read this article and quite frankly words escape me.

Trump grumbles about Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize — and claims he deserved it more

With 11 days to go until Election Day, Donald Trump can’t stop obsessing about former President Barack Obama having been awarded a Nobel Prize in 2009, a little more than eight months after taking office.

At a campaign stop in Las Vegas on Thursday, the former president bombarded the audience with false claims about, among other things, hordes of undocumented “animals” entering the United States, widespread voter fraud, and the size of the crowd there to see him at the UNLV Thomas & Mack Center, insisting there were 29,000 people inside the 19,522-capacity arena. (Earlier this week, Trump claimed 29,000 people had turned out to watch him briefly work a McDonald’s drive-thru window in a Pennsylvania town with a total population of 24,657.)

But amid his rambling, digressive remarks, Trump — who has nursed a grudge against the nation’s first Black president ever since Obama roasted him in a speech at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association dinner — relitigated his personal opposition to Obama’s Nobel win a decade-and-a-half ago.

Trump insisted that he in fact deserved a Nobel more than Obama did, and bemoaned how unfair it was that “anybody else” but him would have been honoured with one.

Keep up. There will be more fraud on the way.

Buddahaid 10-26-24 11:42 AM

That's not fraud, it's an investigation by people doing their jobs looking for fraud. Business as usual.
