Marcie, you write the most hilariously brilliant truths about the worst.... people.... propelled by fpotus, his cult, and his handlers. Thank you! If it weren't for scalding humor in this election, I'd be drowning in cheap wine. Or single malt scotch. But the latter is for next month, when Harris's landslide win makes this slog all worthwhile. Cheers.

Where was Mike Lindell?

"Fraktur" is not "Nazi" except in the minds of the ignorant. It was used in German printing for 500 years before the Nazis used it. As they would have, just as Trump if he wins will continue to use our Roman alphabet.

Maybe we’ll never stop talking about it…but potentially in our basements with the tv turned up really loud, and only with people vetted by at least 3 others.

Fifty years ago I was in Germany talking to an older guy who told me that in those days if you were inviting people over for dinner you would either say "We're having a little get-together tonight" or "We're having a little get-together tonight, Heil Hitler!" depending on whether there would be somebody there you shouldn't talk in front of.

Ta, Marcie. I just early voted to elect Harris-Walz and re-elect Kirsten Gillibrand and Dan Goldman. I feel good about our chances, but we must remain vigilant and keep on getting out the vote. V O T E !!

I don't like to speak badly of people. I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.

No matter what they say after hideous words are spewed (he’s just joking, that wasn’t on the teleprompter, Trumpler doesn’t mean what he says), this is their WINK WINK to all the hate groups.

I do have a personal litmus test. I reject fascists and fascism, Nazis, Proud Boys, Patriot Front members MAGA extremists, Q-Anon coo coos, conspiracy theorists and their fellow travelers. Besides that, I am very open-minded. I have friends across the political spectrum, from Democratic socialists to conservatives. I do not -DO NOT- have a lot of tolerance for hate mongers, the gaslit, neo-conservatives, anarchists or those who try to take over the U.S. government.

When you are running for POTUS. You need to mean every word you say. Trump disgraced the office for four years, now he wants another stab at it.

Oof. Melania's facial fillers have succumbed to gravity. Is it possible that plastic surgeons don't warn their patients that the fillers injected to enhance their lips, or plump up their cheeks, or hide their wrinkles can't defy gravity? Now all her fillers have settled in her jowls, so she looks like a jowly opossum (if there was such a thing). Republican women (and men) seem to have no ability to discern good plastic surgery, from really bad plastic surgery. Sad.

"Off-putting creep Speaker Mike Johnson made an appearance."

He is on our ballot this round. His opponent was even worse. I didn't vote for either.

I VOTED TODAY!!!

Since I can trace my family lineage here back to the mid 1600s, shouldn't I get some kind of seniority over anti-immigration people like Trump and Miller whose families arrived here in the early 20th century? After all, my people let them in.

Expand full comment

Well, you and me both. I've got Huguenots and Germans who arrived mid-late 1600s on one side, English who got here early 1600s on the other. I think we definitely have seniority.

Make America Hate Again

This wasn’t an accident. It was the point. It’s what MAGA was built on—a message to the white, the bitter, and the fearful that their ginned up anger is a rallying cry, a political stance, and a weapon. It's a promise that America belongs to them and no one else. It’s why Trump’s rallies don’t even try to reach beyond his hardcore base; the idea that America belongs to everyone goes against the grain of his entire campaign.

Here's the thing – his hardcore base isn't big enough to beat us. Trump was beat in a landslide in 2020 and has only lost support since January 6th. Instead of reaching out to moderates and trying to increase his support, he has only pandered to the most racist and ignorant members of his base, because he's s stupid, lazy slob.

To be scrupulously fair, he’s also smelly

Makes sense, but why are all the polls showing such a tight race.? Are they all wrong, or does Trump have a "shadow" base? People who support him but won't openly admit to it.

Expand full comment

¿Porque no los dos?

I think there are more white people who secretly support him but know it's not popular while not quite being full-blown cultists.. the 'I wish he wasn't so crude, but..' crowd. But I also think the polls are heavily skewed, by nature of who they question but also by a number of red-pilled entities putting their thumbs on the scale. I fully expect November to be a buzz of How did we get it so wrong from saner heads while the howler monkeys shreik that the polls are PR0OF!!1! the election was rigged and stollen once again.

Rudy keeps Trump stumping (or is it frumping?) despite his alleged $2million unpaid fee for The Big Lie. He’s a real philanthropist!
