Ta, Dok. Last day to register as a NY voter is October 26th, which is also the first day of early voting in the city. I'll vote after work on Monday the 28th. GOTV, and VOTE. With votes.
I just mailed off my last batch of letters to voters in swing states encouraging them to go vote! 40 letters each to AZ and NC and 80 to TX! My hands fucking hurt! 💪🏼
I was at this!!! Lots of fun and great speeches. (Unfortunately I had to leave just after Pres. Obama came on to get to an afterschool program I volunteer at on time. How'd he do?)
When Obama was still President, a friend of mine lived in an apartment complex across the street from his house in Chicago. No big deal, since he was living in D.C., right? Then the holidays arrived, and there was a flurry of activity across the street. She shrugged and went to walk her dog. When she got back, Secret Service folks told her she couldn't go down the street. She explained that she needed to get home, feed the dog, and go to work. They did not allow that. So they all hung out for about half an hour, loving on the dog and generally being decent humans while the President was escorted to his home. Once he was inside, they let her (and the dog, though it was a close thing, as the agents loved him) go home. I told her if it ever happened again, she should hang out the window screaming "Uncle Barry! Uncle Barry! You came hooooome!" (note: she bore a resemblance but was not related) She laughed but opted to not draw the attention of federal agents just for a joke. Since that day, he has been "Uncle Barry" to me, so we can have both a goofy dad and that uncle who tells you right to your face to straighten up already.
I think I'd have been tempted to write a letter to him, telling him about it and asking if you could be put on some sort of "okay" list so you can go down the street to and from your house even when he's there
Less cool, but a friend of the family got put on an "okay" list by Chris Christie's security detail to come up to him, stick her finger in his face and tell him about himself, because she'd been doing that since he was a county selectman. And once you'd been on the receiving end of one of her telling-offs, you never forgot it.

"You know the thing that the thing that that that scares the system, that scares the machine, is that Donald Trump is not a puppet. He’s a real person, you know, and he’s not beholden to anyone. And that’s why you see sort of, you know, that they’re trying to kill him, you know. And, you know, I mentioned as a as a joke, I meant it as a joke, that that no one’s even bothering to try to kill Kamala.
You know, because there’s no point. There’s no point. It’s — just get another puppet, you know?
So I’m not suggesting someone should try to kill her. It’s pointless.
But I’m just saying, I’m just making an observation: Nobody’s bothered!
Why is that? Because it doesn’t matter. (LAUGHS AT OWN JOKE) Yeah. Assassinating a puppet is pointless. (LAUGHS AT OWN JOKE) So. Yeah. [Mediaite]
He is mentally impaired (not an insult to mentally impaired ppls who aren't sociopaths/billionaires) We can get rid of this shite in 2 weeks VOTE VOTE VOTE
We need to reconsider all of his government contracts. Short term that may be a problem since our main alternative to getting to the ISS is the shitty Boeing Starliner but maybe we can dangle a contract to Bezos’ Blue Origin or some other rocket company unless SpaceX votes to kick Muskrat’s ass to curb.
Also I'll certainly settle for investigated, arrested, arraigned, tried, jailed, and stripped of his government contracts since he's an apartheid-keening national security threat
The cognoscenti are hypontised by $$. As a person raised in the working class, I've never understood it. Some sort of financial abstract see: the art world lol
For whatever forgotten reason, was sitting at the counter at the (sadly defunct) Kate Mantilini restaurant in LA when future President Obama's speech at the DNC aired. I sobbed like a child. This is our second chance, pals. Let's not blow it
Thanks, Doc, for posting this. I watched it all and it gives me hope. We are on the right side of history.
I tell dad jokes but I don't have any kids. I guess that makes me a Faux Pa.

Well done!
So whom do I arm wrestle for the title of ‘America’s slightly concerning louche uncle?’
(... okay so not actually American. Is that really a problem tho for this position? Weird uncle by marriage or something maybe.)

Love the surrogate game the Dems bring. Absolutely unmatched. Also glad that Dems are taking the fight right to President Klan Robe.

Becca, thanks for sharing your experience. You are a national treasure :))
That Obama guy is some good talker.

Muskrat wants his own puppet.
RoboDonald
He cannot falter or die
He is self-propelling. Self-replicating. Cannot die. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ha. Haha. Ha
Exactly why he’s sinking all that money into PAB’s campaign.
the "skippin' dipshit" as Coach Walz has dubbed him

Lone Skum is a creep and will end up one of the MANY people TFFG is beholden to.
He will also be one of the many whom taffy has smeared
Spellcheck turned tffg into Taffy. I like it!

Really at this point just ... waiting for him to be investigated, arrested, arraigned, and deported
That would be nice, but deported a citizen isn't all that easy.
Also I'll certainly settle for investigated, arrested, arraigned, tried, jailed, and stripped of his government contracts since he's an apartheid-keening national security threat
100% Why is he allowed to do business in this country per: NPR
Because he's a citizen...since 2002.
I'm guessing Dump will embussen him if he wins in November. He's done that to everyone else he has ever known, except for Putin.
Dump can NOT win in November. However, if it does, the rest of us need to make a plan. Just saying.
I'm thinking about moving to Tijuana. Mexico may be safer than here.

Maybe - depends on how much he owes him.
Quoi? Please elaborate :))
I think he's getting money from Skum in return for future promised favors.
I find it amusing that people think a socially awkward weirdo, who has a rich daddy, is somehow brilliant.

It's aspirational
That perceived freedom from consequences after committing atrocious and cruel acts
All because of having stolen and otherwise ... acquired ... other folks' IP to collect the fruits of those others' labor

You have to consider the audience.
Some of us have literally NEVER thought that.
He's a sexual harasser and a sexual harassment enabler, and an apartheid-craving "skippin' dipshit", as I am gleeful Coach Walz dubbed him

What a creepy creep.
Is he deportable? Inquiring minds want to know. Per: DJT
For whatever forgotten reason, was sitting at the counter at the (sadly defunct) Kate Mantilini restaurant in LA when future President Obama's speech at the DNC aired. I sobbed like a child. This is our second chance, pals. Let's not blow it
I heard the news today....Tim Walz coming to my town tomorrow. I'm gonna try to go.
I guess the campaign can make it since we're not far away from PA & MI and on the way to NC.
Do eet! The joy will be contagious! :))
Simba listening to Obama.

Oh, man, am I getting good a checking in right at the final two minutes of speeches. It may be my sole superpower.
Trust me, I've seen worse.
Obama's really on fire now with "real strength" vs Trump's whiny-ass bullshit.
He's good when he's indignant.
He's good all of the time :) Fookin brilliant
