Of course, the “originator” of that phrase was referring to Trump supporters, lol. I’m sure there’s many a day when she wished she could have snatched those words back.

Trump says disparaging things about all sorts of people all of the time.. women, veterans, reporters, political opponents and just about anyone who isn’t his flavor of the day.

What I find interesting is that people who have known Trump before he became president have said that he doesn’t like his own supporters really. Now you might want to dismiss the sources as somehow being disgruntled such as Michael Cohen but I remember reading what Howard Stern also said.

"He'd be disgusted by them. Go to Mar-a-Lago, see if there's any people who look like you," he said. "I'm talking to you in the audience.

"The Trump voter who idolizes the guy, he despises you."

You might pooh poo it but it would seem to fit in with Trump’s personality.

 

I loved Ronnie’s opening, BTW, lol. There are many protests throughout the country that have remained peaceful or relatively so. I get a little frustrated when I read about some of the violence that occurs because the protesters are so frustrated. I have never engaged in such behavior but I think I understand their anger. I think it distracts from the message and for some people, like yourself, that’s all they see.

 

I don’t see the metaphor, only the strange, disordered thinking of a Trump supporter.

 

It's partly because the movement is devoid of a leader. Imagine the civil rights era without the influence of MLK. Also at the time you had JFK/RFK and later LBJ who were pushing for the same cause. None of them moved at the rate MLK wanted since politics were involved but they were all rowing in the same direction. Now not only is there no leader, but there is also a George Wallace figure in the White House calling out to the Proud Boys at the debate to "stand back and stand by."

I wish people would channel their energies more toward removing the mentally ill occupant of the White House.than even having peaceful protests at this point. No one is listening now, in fact they're looking to use these events to stoke Trump's propaganda. They need to do something constructive like register voters, phone/text bank etc. Protests right now, of any sort, are counterproductive.

 

Don't you wonder if that's a bit much???? Also, I am willing to bet that almost all of the LOOTERS AND RIOTERS are not actual voters. Left or right.

 

BTW, that pulled me into a rabbit hole of people going nuts in midair on airplanes. I would be absolutely terrified to be on those flights.

 

What makes you think I was referring to the woman in the video? LOL! *yank yank* lol

 

The Senate is looking very good. Democrats need to pickup 3 seats, which would have Harris breaking the tie to give the majority. Or to have a clean margin they need 4 seats.

Starting off though there will be one lost seat, Doug Jones in Alabama. He's a great guy and good Senator, but this is Alabama and he barely beat a pedophile a few years ago. So this is a -1.

Definite pickups:

• Colorado: Former Governor Hickenlooper is up +7
• Arizona: Mark Kelly has led the polling throughout and the average is +6

Solid:

• Maine: Sara Gideon has consistently led in the polls since the summer. Maine is a quirky state, but I think they're as sick of Collins as the rest of us. +6
• North Carolina: Cunningham has led throughout the polling +6

Tossup:

• Iowa: It's trending in a good direction and Greenfield is up around +3
• Montana: It's a statistical tie. Lucky that Governor Bullock chose to run here.
• Alaska: A statistical tie too. Alaska is tough to poll, but it's looking like the races Begich ran here that were 1 point each. One he won, the other he lost. Biden is also within the margin of error against the Mad King here.
• South Carolina: Tied too. It would be great to see that sycophant Graham lose
• Kansas: Bollier the Democrat trails by only 2 here. It's doable because Kansans are getting sick of the Republican cult after Brownback. Just elected a Dem governor too

I know the two Georgia races are close, but there hasn't been recent history of Dems winning statewide races, and they've had some elaborate voter suppression effforts in the state.

 

GOD PLEASE let Graham lose.

 

After Trump losing I want that one the most, Graham. I'd bet he'd cry too during his concession speech. Unfortunately I think he'll hang on, but at least he's being made to sweat it out.

 

My guess is that McConnell will push through The Handmaid's Tale lady in the lame duck session after November 3rd.

 

Here's a good story shared by the pollster Frank Luntz yesterday. In January after he got out of a week long stay in the hospital following his stroke, he ran into Joe Biden. Luntz said, "He came over to me, and gave me the biggest hug. And he didn’t let go. Joe Biden is a kind man. He’s a decent man. He’s been through hell himself, on several occasions."

In normal times it's a small thing, but it's huge these days when there is such a lack of empathy and decency.
