Donald Trump has revealed himself to be exactly who I have told you he is with a series of shocking and credible threats against the Constitution of the United States and the freedoms of every American citizen.
VOTED ALL BLUE IN BATTLEGROUND ARIZONA AND HAND DELIVERED BALLOT TO PIMA COUNTY ELECTION OFFICE! Do not trust Postmaster General of the U.S. Postal Service!!
Nor here in Hoboken, where I used the drop box last time and will use again. Remember this tasty little morsel reported in WaPo about 300,000 unscanned ballots that just went "missing" in 2020? Yeah, nothin to see here, folks. Keep movin...
I'm in Pima too, on an extended visit from VA getting to know my new grandson. The only problem is I have to vote absentee - so I have to trust the mail. My ballot arrived here, so I hope it makes it back to VA!
I’m in Costa Rica and mailed, no check that I used DHL fully insured that is the key I would trust us mail but priority and insured it will work and check on it. So is De Joy still the Post General? He should have been canned!
I cannot understand Kamala's hesitancy to attack Trump. I do not doubt that she would counter any courtroom argument against her case directly and skillfully, so why not Trump's un-American, clearly fascist assertions? Drop the middle class references and attack the monster.
Ever since The Reagan Years caused Democrats to have brain damage, they've been fearful of viciously attacking The Enemy (right wing) in fear of appearing partisan or hyperbolic (See Joseph Biden). And because of it...and other factors, we are here in this space.
Harris needs to PROSECUTE the case against Trump NOW! She's lost a percent each week in the polls since her bounce after the debate with Trump and she can't win if she continues the same gentle feel-good messaging.
She and her advisors need to get ruthless NOW and show in graphic terms how Trump threatens us all. While playing Trump sound bites:
@ Show people being dragged out of their homes because they are being "denaturalized" and sent to concentration camps.
@ Show the military rounding up citizens who actively oppose Trump and his self-serving policies - like Hitler did before WWII.
@ Show climate refugees and how more death and destruction is certain if "climate hoax" wins the election.
@ Show how merciless Trump's buddy Putin has been invading and pummeling Ukraine and millions of their citizens - who just want to live in peace like we do.
@ Show how all our freedoms are endangered - not just reproductive rights - by more conservative judges on the Supreme Court.
@ Show how Trump and his wealthy friends will enrich themselves while everyone else gets poorer by foisting huge new tax cuts and taffifs on our economy.
Trump is a crazy fascist! Say it out loud! Our country and the world will be in much worse shape if he wins. Don't let it happen. Take the gloves off! Make the case NOW!!
Show how the economy has blossomed in the days since Trump. And reference the WSJ’s conclusions that the economy will tank if Trump’s policies are enacted. And let’s not forget his convictions for sexual abuse, a tryst with a pornstar, his 6 bankruptcies, his love of Putin, his anti-Semitism, and, among others, his age.
Good additions to the PROSECUTION! I hope our donations will now be used for new hard-hitting ad spots for the next THREE WEEKS and not just more text messages asking for more donations!
When Trump's fascist/mobster minions actually threaten and stop official Government agents from doing their disaster relief jobs, it's time to force compliance.
Totally agree, Steve. A good place to start is WNC where they just had to take extra safety measures for FEMA and volunteers because of his and Repubs lies.
I'm frightened to death .. The NYT reports that Trumps supporters don't think he means what he says . They have done this for years.. Whenever he would say something horrible if they don't believe it they think it's funny . My heart is broken..Pro Publica has a report out on two billionaires in Texas that are turning the state into a total christian state..schools etc.. I have donated to all kinds of candidates ..I vote on election day no matter what.. But I have to say Canada is looking awfully good right now. If he gets in then what? Does anyone have a plan ? Because the courts are just holding on by a thread.. Now is the time for all the Generals to do public service announcements .. even if they fear court martial they must do it for there country ...Kamala will do what she can but she's not super
I agree with you yet I find it impossible that Trump can be a candidate? I also remind MAGA voters that they will go down with the rest of us without a doubt!
This should not happen in a democracy. I believe this can cause people to actually be afraid. It is not right to live this way or hear him talk like this. It scares people and should be against the law. He is literally saying people are not free.
Make Trump defend or respond to multiple fronts: Start with issues threats against FEMA and lies on flood relief
1. Have WH convene daily press conferences to combat lies and threats and veiled racism: 2. Have campaigns do similar daily press conferences, contributing more partisan, sharer rebukes; 3. Have surrogates across country sing from same hymnal.
Also, Harris campaign staff need to release Harris and giver her permission to make mistakes and be more human, apologize for past errors, and not worrying about mistakes and errors showing up in next Repub campaign ad.
What are core values, comparable to MAGA core values, that can be repeated? Family, Religion, Education, Equality, Better pay, etc.
Yes, he has revealed himself and we ain’t seen nothing yet as far as I’m concerned. Every time we think he’s hit the bottom of the barrel, the barrel just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I fear not only Election Day, but the next day also whether he wins or loses. He and his backroom boys will not sit idly watching this from afar. They are involved now and will be more and more as E Day approaches. Please read Joyce Vance’s latest substack, in particular her para. on Mike Flynn. It sent shivers down my spine.
100% Steve. Exceptionally well-said. Below is a note I just sent to the Harris/Walz campaign:
I am a strong supporter of Kamala Harris for President and of the Harris/Walz ticket, but I fear we are losing traction in this war against Donald Trump and his MAGA Fascists.
I believe the Vice President must take the gloves off immediately and attack Trump for his fear-mongering, hate speech, and full-boated fascism, planning to deploy the military to find, arrest, and imprison his political opponents, who he has labelled --"the enemy from within."
This is an outrage and must not stand. The Vice President must attack Trump and others forcefully and directly for advocating this betrayal of the Constitution and the Rule of Law.
NOTHING less has a chance to persuade large numbers of independents and sane Republicans to see the danger and unite against this intensifying threat to our American Way of Life and support the Vice President.
The V.P. must use forceful language to wake people and the media up to stand strong against this grave threat to our country.
Weak comments about Trump not releasing his medical records, or backing out of TV interviews or a 2nd debate defuse the immediacy of this grievous threat to the country that Trump and his MAGA fascists represent.
I implore the Vice President to be blunt and urgent in her messaging and expose Trump for the Nazi he is and the concentration camps he would create.
I believe Vice President Harris must launch this campaign to preserve our Way of Life against MAGA Fascism and attack Trump for what he is--a Nazi--immediately...now...today.
Even Charlamagne said we needed to use the word 'fascist' & K just said 'yes we do'. BUT IVE yet to hear her say that. Biden was the worst. he could barely say...'semi-fascist' one time. Typical moderate MAGA appeasing Dem. He could never even say the word 'abortion'. Joey always was a shitty campaigner as his 2 failed Presidential runs show. In 2020 America just wanted Trump gone....
Agree. We are now beyond needing to hear policy proposals. Harris can no longer avoid dealing with the overt fascism head on. The message must be strong and alarming. Trump is getting worse by the day as Steve has previously warned.
I am more fearful than ever that getting Maga types to understand the threat Trump represents is far more difficult than we think, regardless of who is trying to get them to understand.
Maga true believers have no "essential self." They are cultural absolutists who deal with uncertainty by asserting that their culture, in all aspects, is superior to all others. They do not believe this based on inductive fact-based reasoning but on the basis of revealed and deductively reasoned absolute truths (dogma).
As James T. Houck ("In Praise of Naturalism: A Cultural Critique of Religion," Free Inquiry, October-November 2024 issue), writes, they live in a cultural dream state, "where White, male, Christian, heterosexual Americans (are) privileged and...innately superior to their binary counterparts: ethnic, female,secular, homosexual, and foreign."
vote, donate, mobilize by knocking on doors, phone banking, talking to friends and neighbors. Not sure if letter writing is still effective as many states have early voting.
Steve, what you have written should be glaringly apparent to anyone with half a brain. Harris was on the attack more so yesterday in NC, but her words were not nearly strong enough. Enough about his “concepts of a plan” for replacing Obamacare. We have a five alarm fire with a vicious and demented fascist about to seize power and promising to exact his revenge. His henchmen, the contemporary version of Hitler’s “jack -booted thugs,” stand ready to carry out his vendettas. Harris and Walz must spell this out in the strongest possible terms. They must enlist surrogates like General Milley to echo their warnings. It’s not enough for Milley to be quoted by Bob Woodward in WAPO or on MSNBC. The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs needs to explain to the public who Trump is and how he has been threatening him. The barbarians are at the gate. Only a relentless effort, consisting of a 24/7 full court press pushing back on Trump’s depraved gaslighting by Harris, Walz and every influential surrogate they can muster, will repel them.
Trump World, the MAGA movement, the hijacked GOP, the Trump Family pocketbook RNC are all a huge money scam. In the Tina Peters case, Judge Barrett called it "snake oil" which is it truly is. This is how the justice system should be handling this con game:
In the year 1300 Dante designated the 7th Level of Hell for the Frauds. Words can harm. Words can kill. Fraudulent words can win elections. Words can generate the biggest money con in history.
This is it. The entire Trump for President campaign is a money scam. Snake oil.

Ditto here. I don't trust Postmaster here either.

I hear some say it’s because coming off too strong will alienate men, which to me doesn’t really make sense.

Show the sharpy numbers written on children s arms at his detention centers during his administration.
And the map where he wanted the hurricane to track into Alabama...
And mention that every single one of his accusations is a confession.
Show how the economy has blossomed in the days since Trump. And reference the WSJ’s conclusions that the economy will tank if Trump’s policies are enacted. And let’s not forget his convictions for sexual abuse, a tryst with a pornstar, his 6 bankruptcies, his love of Putin, his anti-Semitism, and, among others, his age.

Could not agree more. This threat is far too great and far too real to not be attacked head-on, with courage and clarity, and without mercy.

Biden needs to have an address to the nation in Prime Time to repudiate T💩p’s lies.
Biden doesn't have the stomach for it....hes the one that placed 'timid, don't do anything to rock the boat Garland' as AG
but he realizes that was a mistake in Woodword's new book
Yes, he has revealed himself and we ain’t seen nothing yet as far as I’m concerned. Every time we think he’s hit the bottom of the barrel, the barrel just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Kamala is trying to engage with the mango maniac but, he is hiding in his basement. She should say so as often as possible!
