megyn, melania and other tramps

 


tramp megyn kelly declared last night at a rally for trump that the convicted felon would be a 'protector for women.'

like she was a protector for women at fox 'news'?

from wikipedia:

In a book published in 2014, Gabriel Sherman alleged that, in the 1980s, Ailes offered a television producer a raise if she would sleep with him.[9][37] Fox News denied the allegation and rejected the authenticity of Sherman's book.[37]

On July 6, 2016, former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes; Carlson's allegations were the impetus for more than a dozen female employees at 21st Century Fox to step forward regarding their own experiences with Ailes's behaviour. Carlson alleged that she had been fired for rebuffing Ailes's advances.[38][39] Ailes, through his attorney, Susan Estrich, denied the charges.[40][41] Three days later, Sherman reported accounts from six women (two publicly and four anonymously) who alleged sexual harassment by Ailes.[42] In response, Ailes's counsel released a statement: "It has become obvious that Ms. Carlson and her lawyer are desperately attempting to litigate this in the press because they have no legal case to argue."[43]

Resignation

[edit]

Ten days later, New York magazine reported that an internal review into Carlson's claims had expanded into a broader review of Ailes's stewardship. It also claimed Rupert Murdoch and his sons, Lachlan and James, had seen enough information in the preliminary review to conclude that Ailes had to go. They disagreed on the timing, however; James wanted Ailes out immediately, while Rupert and Lachlan wanted to wait until after the Republican National Convention.[44] On July 19, New York reported that Megyn Kelly told investigators Ailes made "unwanted sexual advances toward her" at the start of her career. The magazine also reported that the Murdochs had given Ailes an ultimatum—resign by August 1 or be fired.[45]


only after other women came out, years after, in fact, did megyn kelly speak out.

she used sex to get ahead at 'fox news' and kept her mouth shut while other women suffered.

speaking of trashy women, melania.  she wore a dress with short sleeves today.  what the hell's wrong with her elbows?

i know she wasn't a super model.  even in her own country, she wasn't in the top 50 models of any year.  it's because of those squinty eyes.  beauty requires lovely eyes - see diana ross, audrey hepburn, etc.  melania's got squinty eyes and that jaw would have had to be broken and reset for her to have a modeling career in the u.s.  but that did not prepare me for those ugly elbows.  

oh well, when trump dumps her, barron and his boyfriend will probably let her live with them.

let's close with c.i.'s 'Iraq snapshot:'


Tuesday, November 5, 2024.  Vote for your future.


It's come to this finally, the official election day, the last day to vote in the 2024 US presidential election.  Sarah K. Burris (RAW STORY) reports on Convicted Felon Donald Trump's mood:


Donald Trump is in a bad mood, and it is reflected in his closing message, said one reporter. 

Trump was in Raleigh, North Carolina, Monday around lunch, where he spoke for over 90 minutes to a crowd that was about only 70% full, MSNBC reported.

Journalist and author Tim Alberta said that he has spent the past year speaking with sources inside the campaign, and things have been growing worse over time. 

"There has always been this strange disconnect in the sense that people around Trump recognize that this election, certainly more than the other two, carries a certain existential consequence for Trump," Alberta said, in reference to the fact that if he loses, Trump may be facing jail time. 

"So, in one sense, you're looking at that and thinking, well, nothing should concentrate the mind like the possibility of going to jail," Alberta continued, noting that people around Trump haven't made that clear to him directly. 


He should be scared.  The people didn't want him in 2016 (Hillary got more votes) and they didn't want him in 2020.  Now that he's a convicted felon who tried to overthrow the country, even fewer people are behind him.


We have the numbers.  We just have to make sure we are voting.  If you can give a person a ride to the polls, if you can sit with their mother or father long enough for them to go vote, if you can be a good neighbor, a good friend or a good relative in any way, that's what we need to do today.


This is the most important election of my lifetime.  Democracy is on the line.  We have got to make our voices heard.

Trump and his MAGA crazies need to be sent packing.  That's how we save our democracy and how we save our country.


Although some don't care about our democracy or our country.


For example?


Tonight, DEMOCRACY NOW! will do four hours of live programming during which, we assume, racist Amy Goodman will continue her attacks on Kamala Harris.  In July, there was one episode where she brought on a Kamala supporter.  In August?  None.  In September?  None.  In October?  One on the last day of the month.  That's how it's gone this year.  Now racist whore Amy could -- and did -- promote the campaign of the ultimate Karen -- Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein.  

Those Karens have to stick together, after all.  


Which is why Amy Goodman has refused to note that Rudolph Ware -- he goes by "Butch" because he thinks he's still in pre-K -- is a transphobe who wants to restrict abortion.


Kind of big detail to her audience that's indulged her in her active racist attacks on Kamala.





Jill Stein won't be forced to address that anymore than she's forced to defend the Lockheed Martin money or any of her other dirty secrets.  


That's in part because Amy has spawned a lifetime of idiots and that would include her former cohort Aaron Mate.  Aaron spent this week denying that January 6th was an issue -- and Barbie bimbo sat right by him nodding along.  Katie Halper, what a joke.  But Katie only gets worse.



The lunatics are out in full force.  

Clark County Sheriff's Dept should have immediately fired Lt John Rodgers.  Yesterday morning, we noted:

 David Edwards (RAW STORY) reports:


An Ohio sheriff's office official has reportedly told Democrats that he would not respond to their emergency calls because of their party affiliation.

In the days leading up to the November presidential election, Clark County's Lieutenant John Rodgers said he would use voter registration records to determine which calls he responded to.

According to WHIO, Rodgers' posts had been shared over 250,000 times on social media as of Friday.

The station reviewed social media posts with the threats from Rodgers.

"I am sorry. If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you" and "The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days," he reportedly wrote.

[. . .]


The Clark County Sheriff's Office told WHIO that an investigation had been launched into the social media posts.

"It is understood that while these comments are highly inappropriate, they in no means reflect the Clark County Sheriff's Office delivery of service to ALL our community and does not reflect the mission and values of the Sheriff's Office. The community has a right to be upset over the actions of Lt. Rodgers and he, as well as the Sheriff's Office in general, will have to work even harder to replenish the trust of members of our community," a statement from the department said.


No, you uninformed asshole, that's not how it works.  How it works is that Rodgers is placed upon immediate suspension and then he's removed.  These are his posts and once that's established beyond any reasonable shadow of a doubt, he has to be removed.  You don't get to pick and choose who you defend.  And if you think you do -- and are stupid enough to express that publicly -- you're not fit to serve.  





Lt John Rodgers, a 20-year sheriff's veteran in Clark County, where Springfield is the county seat, made the statements in several posts on Facebook, WHIO-TV reported. In one post, he reported
 
Rodgers said he sometimes takes a prescribed sleep aid that can cause him to send “out of character” texts, phone calls or other forms of communication as a side effect. The lieutenant said that as soon as he learned of the messages on Tuesday, he deactivated his Facebook account and stopped taking the medication, the newspaper reported.

“We’ve been in this battle over the last few months, with the attacks on the Haitian community and other immigrants, and we protect people’s rights and we don’t support the conduct to the contrary,” Mike Young, the county’s chief deputy, told the newspaper. “I can’t go back in time and take that post away; the lieutenant made the post and he has received consequences for that.”

Clark is not the only Ohio county dealing with controversial statements made by law enforcement officials on social media.

The U.S. Justice Department said its election monitoring efforts will include Portage County, where a sheriff was accused of intimidating voters last month, to make sure the county complies with federal voting rights laws during early voting and on Election Day.

The department's announcement came after Republican Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski posted on social media that people with Kamala Harris yard signs should have their addresses written down so that immigrants can be sent to live with them if the Democrat wins the presidency.



Anyone see a problem with that?  I'm not seeing any Tweets, for example, from Ambien about how a side effect isn't "racism."

So you're telling me that a comedian does a Tweet  and she loses everything over it -- I'm referring to Roseanne Barr -- but an officer of the law makes statements attacking Democrats and saying he will not defend them from violent assaults but  he gets to keep his job while claiming -- with no ridicule at all -- that a prescribed sleep aid caused his Tweets?

Again, Roseanne lost everything.  She lost her life's work, the characters she created based on her own life.  She was run out of the business.

And you're saying that ABC has higher ethical standards than law enforcement?

He needs to be fired.  And I don't believe his lie that this was caused by a sleep-aid but for those prone to believe liars, he's also saying this happened before.  So then he should have gotten off that sleep aid.

In what world is a member of law enforcement allowed to declare publicly that he will not protect one group of people from violence and he's still allowed to keep his job.

This member of law enforcement gets to skate?


But then, Roseanne didn't have a Republican protecting her the way Rodgers does:  Sheriff Deborah K. Burchett.  That's a fact that escaped AP's 'reporting.'  ATLANTA BLACK STAR NEWS covers the story here.





He should be fired and fired immediately.   This is not open to interpretation.  He cannot be seen as someone who serves the community.   The MAGA controlled sheriff's dept is not holding him accountable.  This is a preview of what will happen if Trump gets back in the White House.  Fairness and accountability will fly out the window.  Who you know will determine the treatment you receive and we will not be equal under the law.


Want to appeal that to the Court.  Lots of luck there.  Trump packed the Court with liars and crooks.  We can't let him appoint more MAGA judges who toss out settled case law to rule on a whim.




Speaking of disgusting, did you hear about Uline's hideos owners (and MAGA nuts) Dick and Liz Uihlein?   Stephanie Kirchgaessner (GUARDIAN) reports:


Asked whether the request for voting information might be seen as intimidating, Liz Uihlein responded in a statement to the Guardian: “This is stupid! The survey was for fun after enduring two years of this presidential election. The results were anonymous and participation was voluntary. This is completely benign.”

Danielle Lang, senior director of voting rights at the Campaign Legal Center, said she did not believe the request was benign.

“Employers should know to be very careful around pressure on employees, about whether they vote and certainly who they vote for,” Lang said.

“Regardless of intentions, this very clearly could create anxiety for many employees,” she said. “Employees rely on employers for their livelihood.”

Federal and some state laws protect employees from voter intimidation and coercion, including by employers. Under federal law, voters who need help at the voting booth because of a disability may choose so-called “assisters” under the Voting Rights Act. But those assisters may not be employers or union reps, Lang said.

“I think that is an implicit recognition of how much power employers can have over employees and the undue influence they can wield,” Lang said.

In Wisconsin, it is also criminal to solicit a person to show how their vote is cast.


This is a clear attempt to intimidate workers, don't pretend it isn't.  This is what the MAGA nuts think is fair.  They will destroy this country.


If you believe in Civil Rights, if you believe reproductive rights, if you believe that love is love and something to be sought (not run from), if you believe in the Constitution and in democracy, if you believe that we work for a better world -- not a return to the 1700s, if you believe that a convicted felon should be behind bars and not in the Oval Office, you vote for Kamala Harris.


And today's the last day to do that. 

Here's Kamala speaking yesterday in Scranton:


THE VICE PRESIDENT:  Scranton!  (Applause.)  Hey, everybody! 

Can we hear it for Glen?  (Applause.)  Let’s hear it for Glen.

Hi, Scranton.  Good afternoon, everyone.  Good afternoon.  It is so good to be with everyone.  (Applause.)  Thank you. 

Are we ready to do this? 

     AUDIENCE:  Yes!

THE VICE PRESIDENT: We- — we’re ready to get out the vote? 

     AUDIENCE:  Yes!

THE VICE PRESIDENT:  We’re ready to win?

     AUDIENCE:  Yes!

THE VICE PRESIDENT:  All right.  Okay.  So, first, let me thank Glen.  I was — I was telling him when we were just hanging out backstage, so when I — my first office that I ran for was district attorney, and the Carpenters were the first union to endorse me.  (Applause.)  And — and I — and I’ve always — I mean, even before, but always — I will always and always have stood with labor. 

And so, I’m very proud to stand with you, Glen, with your members, with all the members of labor, as we do this together.  (Applause.) 

And as he pointed out, there’s a huge difference between me and the other guy, which everybody here knows, which is why you are here to help us get out the vote.  (Applause.) 

But I thought I would share with you — so, I was — when I was coming in, someone reminded me of — of a story I’ve shared, which is when I first ran for office as DA.  So, I — I started out at six points in the polls, right?  So, you kn- — for anyone who knows, that’s 6 out of 100.  (Laughter.)  No one thought we could win.  And I used to campaign with my ironing board.  (Laughter.)  Okay.  You are wondering, “Now, what is she talking about?”  (Laughter.)

So, I would grab my ironing board, a roll of duct tape, my pois- — my posters and my flyers, and I’d put them all in my car, and I’d drive to the local grocery stores.  And I’d pull out my ironing board and my duct tape and my posters and my flyers, and I’d walk to the front of the grocery store outside, and I’d stand up my ironing board, because, you see, an ironing board makes a really great standing desk.  (Laughter.)

And I’d use the duct tape to tape my posters on the outside of the thing, and I’d put my flyers on top of the ironing board.  And I would require people to talk to me as they walked in and out of the grocery store.  (Laughter.)

And I will tell you, that is how I love to campaign.  I don’t do it as much anymore, obviously.  But what you all are signing up to do today and what you’ve been doing, like, let’s enjoy it.  You know, and I know you do.  I can feel the mood in here.  Because it’s the best of who we are as a democracy. 

And I think we’ve kind of — (applause) — right?

And that’s what our campaign has been about.  We are a people-driven campaign, and we love the people.  And we see, in the face of a stranger, a neighbor — right? — and that’s the spirit of what we are doing. 

And over these last — you know, this whole era of this other guy, you know, it —  but it — what it’s done with all that talk that’s been about trying to have us point fingers at each other and divide each other, it makes people feel alone.  It makes them feel like there’s nobody standing with them. 

And so, the way I have always been thinking about our campaign and these next 24 hours is as we are getting out the vote, as we are canvassing, let’s be intentional about building community — about building community, about building coalitions, about reminding people we all have so much more in common than what separates us.  There is power in that.  There is power in that.  (Applause.)  And there’s lasting power in that, right?

It’s about the win, and it is about more.  It is about more.  It is about just strengthening our country and reminding each other we are all in this together.  We rise and fall together.  And that is the strength of who we are and everyone here. 

That’s the strength of Bob Casey.  We’ve got to get him back in the United States Senate.  (Applause.) 

That’s the strength of Mayor Cognetti and all that she has been doing.  Right?  (Applause.)

It’s about leadership that is the kind of leadership that we want.  Right?  They are leaders, we are leaders who understand that the measure of our strength is not based on who we beat down.  It’s based on who we lift up.  Right?  (Applause.)  And so, that’s what we’re going to do.  

And so, over these next 24 hours, I know everyone is here, including our youngest leaders — I see you over there.  I know you’re not ready to vote because you look like you’re about eight, but — (laughs) — but you tell the adults in your life why it’s important they vote.  Okay?  (Laughs.)  (Applause.)

But over these next 24 hours, let’s — let’s enjoy this moment to knock on a neighbor’s door and in their face, even if we’ve not met them, know that we have a lot that we care about in common and that we are optimistic about the future of our country, that we love our country, and that that’s what this fight is about, and about the promise of America — and the promise of America being represented by everybody who is here.  

So, I thank you all for the time that you have taken out of your busy lives.  There are a number of things that each one of you could be doing right now and — but you’re here, and we’re all here together, under this one roof, as a community of people who care and who are dedicated to the hard work that it requires.  

You know, I — I like to say that you — you know, when you love something, you fight for it.  (Applause.)  And that’s what we’re doing.  And that’s what we’re doing.  We love our country, and we are fighting for the best of who we are.  And —

AUDIENCE MEMBER:  We love you!

THE VICE PRESIDENT:  And I love you.  (Applause.)  Thank you.  I love you.

So —

AUDIENCE:  Kamala!  Kamala!  Kamala!

THE VICE PRESIDENT:  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.  Thank you.

AUDIENCE:  Kamala!  Kamala!  Kamala!

THE VICE PRESIDENT:  Let’s vote.  Let’s get out the vote.  Let’s get out the vote.  Let’s get out the vote. 

AUDIENCE:  Let’s get out the vote!  Let’s get out the vote!  Let’s get out the vote!

THE VICE PRESIDENT:  Let’s get out the vote.  Let’s get out the vote.  Let’s get out the vote.   Let’s win. (Laughs.)  (Applause.)

All right, let’s get to work.  Twenty-four hours to go.  And I — I so — I — I’m so grateful for everyone here.  I — I just — I’ll end with this point.  You know, I have the — I have the privilege, I have the blessing of being able to travel around our country.  And I’m telling you guys, we’re good.  We’re good.  We’re good.  (Applause.)  We really are.  

I mean, every — I s- — I go into rooms with people who s- — again, seemingly have nothing in common and have everything in common — rooms of people of all kinds of different backgrounds, of ages coming together in this sense of just the — the collective.  We’re good.

And so, we’re going to keep doing this work with the optimism that it requires to be strong.  Everyone here knows, in the context of your family, in your life, when you believe something is possible, you put in the hard work, and you know it’s good work — hard work is good work, it’s joyful work — and we get the job done.  

Let’s get this done.  Thank you all.  (Applause.)




Isaiah's THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "Tucker Carlson's Sexual Demon" went up last night. The following sites updated:

tucker carlsons deamon lover

 

that's Isaiah's THE WORLD TODAY JUST NUTS "Tucker Carlson's Sexual Demon" and it went up a little while ago. 

tomorrow is the last chance we have to vote for a better country.  we can reject trump and all the hate he stands for and try to create a better world instead.








Raquell Barton was knee-deep in her doctorate program at the University of Memphis when her husband dropped a bomb on her: he wanted a divorce. 
It caught her off guard. Somewhere between the research and projects for her instructional design program, he began to feel neglected, like he and their marriage were no longer a priority for her. She said he never mentioned how he was feeling until he asked to part ways, and by then, he'd mentally checked out of the marriage.

"When I went into that doctoral program, we were on the same page. We knew it was going to be hard. We knew it was going to be a struggle. We knew my focus was going to be on something else," she told Salon in a phone interview. "By the time I realized something was wrong, it was too late."

He wanted out. She didn't. Despite her protests, the pair legally separated in 2018. After six months of separation, Barton's husband still hadn't filed for divorce even though he'd started seeing someone new. Fed up, she felt she had to take the initiative. The divorce was finalized in 2019.

Her divorce was as no-fault as divorces come, she said, even if it wasn't what she wanted. 

"I went into [marriage] hoping that I was gonna have that Happily Ever After fairy tale, but sometimes it just doesn't happen," said Barton, now a certified divorce coach helping other women who didn't want their marriages to end in Arkansas, Texas, Tennesee and Oklahoma. "It's not that I don't believe in the sanctity of marriage, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. You just have to let people go."

Barton's circumstances aren't at all uncommon. But opponents of no-fault divorce laws, which allow couples to split without either spouse having to claim fault or both having to agree, believe it's enough cause to eliminate or curtail no-fault grounds in divorce law altogether.

Though still only emerging from the fringes, the burgeoning movement against no-fault divorce has gained something of a foothold in a handful of ultraconservative states, including Texas and Oklahoma. The effort also has supporters up to the highest levels of government, from state Republican party platforms and state proposals to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance.

While legal scholars and divorce lawyers are unsure if legislation striking no-fault grounds for divorce will ever take hold due to its widespread unpopularity, the effort to make that a reality in places like Oklahoma and South Dakota presents a looming threat to advocates who, in a post-Dobbs America, fear the worst. That threat seems much more real with an active divorce antagonist currently seeking the vice presidency, they say, and should it ever become a reality, it stands to disproportionately harm women.  

some people work overtime to destroy the rights of americans.  i believe reagan grasped that people voted for him because they wanted government off their backs, not in their bedrooms.  it's a lesson donald trump can't absorb.



speaking of stupidity, racist megyn kelly is campaigning with donald trump tonight.  she's the racist who left 'fox "news",' remember?  and she's the racist who got fired by 'nbc.'  now she has a sirus radio show and a youtube show.  she's a forgotten failure.  



Former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney joined the hosts of The View, declaring women will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of Tuesday's election.

"Women are going to save the day in this election," Cheney said during Monday's episode. "The women are going to save this republic, so get out and vote."

In September, the Republican politician spoke with Duke's Sanford School of Public Policy, sharing she will be parting from her party's presidential nominee and instead voting for vice president Kamala Harris.

Cheney said on The View




 she has spent time campaigning with Harris and appreciates her sincerity in wanting to be a president for everyone. She thinks the vice president embodies the qualities of a faithful public servant who operates in good faith and has the ability to lead and inspire millions of Americans, particularly young girls.




let's close with c.i.'s 'Iraq snapshot:'


Monday, November 4, 2024. Con man and convicted felon Donald Trump mimes a blow job onstage, is unaware what state he is in, threatens reporters and boasts of his "beautiful White skin," while Kamala Harris seals the deal.


Tomorrow the US presidential election concludes.  Over the weekend, things only got worse for Convicted Felon Donald Trump and his crazed MAGA cult. 



Less than four hours ago, Ava and my "Media: The election winds down" went up:


The whole last week has been crazy as Donald's mouth has bled out blather.

For example, he again wished violence on former US House Rep Liz Cheney -- this time guns pointed at her head in a firing squad.   Threats of violence are all the tired, old crook had to offer.  THE TIMES OF ISRAEL noted today:


Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump suggested at a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday that he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden, and said he wouldn’t mind if someone shot reporters at the campaign event.

In a meandering 90-minute rally speech two days before Tuesday’s US presidential election, Trump attacked the news media at length, at one point gesturing to TV cameras and saying, “ABC, it’s ABC, fake news, CBS, ABC, NBC. These are, these are, in my opinion, in my opinion, these are seriously corrupt people.”


Between those threats?  He managed to mime jerking off a microphone and going down on it in Milwaukee.  He also managed to threaten violence from the stage, "You've gotta be kidding. Do you want to see me knock the hell out of people backstage?"  Warren, Michigan found him unable to say "recession," in Atlanta, George he called Kamala "a twain weck."  He's an embarrassment who long ago lost his cognitive skills and just stands in front of smaller crowds speaking about his "beautiful white skin" and his hair and other topics that have nothing to do with our lives and that's why more and more people are walking out of these rallies long before he completes his free association remarks passed off as speeches.  In Latrobe, Pennsylvania, he'd already began speaking when he announced he was leaving the stage to comb his hair but he would be right back.  While in North Carolina, Trump didn't know he was . . . speaking in North Carolina.


At COMMON DREAMS, Jake Johnson reports:


During a rally on the final Sunday before the presidential election, Republican nominee Donald Trump told an audience gathered in the battleground state of Pennsylvania that he wouldn't mind if a gunman shot through the group of reporters covering the event.

After discussing the protective glass surrounding him, the former president said a would-be assassin "would have to shoot through the fake news" to get to him.

"I don't mind that so much," Trump said, drawing laughter and applause from his supporters. "I don't mind."

[. . .] 

Journalist Jeff Sharlet wrote in response that during his time covering "the fascism beat," he's met "men who've been itching for that encouragement, who openly fantasize about beating or killing reporters."

"It's not a joke," Sharlet wrote. "It's fascism."

Trump has long reveled in attacking members of the press, vilifying them as "the enemy of the people" and directing the ire of his supporters in their direction. Kash Patel, a Trump confidant who's expected to get a senior national security post if the former president wins Tuesday's election, suggested earlier this year that a second Trump administration would go after "the people in the media" with criminal or civil charges, underscoring the threat the Republican nominee poses to press freedom.

Facing backlash over Trump's latest attack on the press, his campaign issued an absurd statement claiming the former president was "actually looking out for [reporters'] welfare" by "stating that the media was in danger." 


The desperation never ends with the convicted felon and his crazies.  Marco Rubio and other idiots had a fit that Kamala Harris was on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.



Liars like Marco Rubio are trying to claim that The Fairness Doctrine has been violated.  No, it has not. 


They're so stupid.  


First off, the Fairness Doctrine was something Ronald Reagan was gunning to overturn when he became president.  And, in 1987, in his second term, his FCC did just that.


But it did not cover humor.  It never covered humor.  


Now I know that they're ignorant because they were home 'schooled.'  Inappropriate behavior meant that they had to leave their schools.  But we all grasp it was never the children's fault, it was always the parents.  That's where they learned the behavior.


But in the real world, where many of us strive to learn, your ignorance is appalling.



That's Richard Nixon in 1968, while running for president.


There was no outrcy of "UNFAIR!" from Hubert Humphrey.  No one dared cite The Fairness Act -- which was in effect then.


A year later, Lily Tomlin's Ernestine did the following sketch.




Again, no outcry or pretense that the sketch above violated The Fairness Act.  It didn't.


Never, while The Fairness Act was in effect, did anyone try to, for example, calculate Johnny Carson's jokes on THE TONIGHT SHOW to see if one party was favored and to make some sort of case over that.  The Fairness Act was never intended to cover humor and Little Marco is foolish idiot for even attempting to make that argument.

Donald Trump is ignorant of the law.  That's how he ended up a convicted felon, after all.  His groupies are equally uninformed when it comes to the law.  Not just Little Marco, but all of them.   David Edwards (RAW STORY) reports:


An Ohio sheriff's office official has reportedly told Democrats that he would not respond to their emergency calls because of their party affiliation.

In the days leading up to the November presidential election, Clark County's Lieutenant John Rodgers said he would use voter registration records to determine which calls he responded to.

According to WHIO, Rodgers' posts had been shared over 250,000 times on social media as of Friday.

"I am sorry. If you support the Democrat Party I will not help you" and "The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days," he reportedly wrote.

[. . .]


The Clark County Sheriff's Office told WHIO that an investigation had been launched into the social media posts.

"It is understood that while these comments are highly inappropriate, they in no means reflect the Clark County Sheriff's Office delivery of service to ALL our community and does not reflect the mission and values of the Sheriff's Office.

No, you uninformed asshole, that's not how it works.  How it works is that Rodgers is placed upon immediate suspension and then he's removed.  These are his posts and once that's established beyond any reasonable shadow of a doubt, he has to be removed.  You don't get to pick and choose who you defend.  And if you think you do -- and are stupid enough to express that publicly -- you're not fit to serve.  

This isn't open to interpretation.  This is the law.  


You can't talk about butt-hurt idiots without eventually working your way around to Miss Sassy JD Vance. Kathleen Culliton (RAW STORY) reports:


Former President Donald Trump's running mate has Democratic jaws dropping after he suggested there was one thing his boss would never do.

Sen. J.D. Vance told rally attendees in Aston, Pennsylvania, on Sunday that the Republican presidential nominee always had championed Americans' right to freedom of speech — and always would.

"You know something Donald Trump will never do?" Vance said. "Donald Trump will never go out there and say that his fellow citizens should be censored or silenced for disagreeing with them." 

Replied political commentator Justin Baragona, "Trump is literally demanding that CBS and ABC be taken off the air."

Trump and his allies have filed a complaint against CBS, sued ABC News and accused the Washington Post of illegally spreading propaganda supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.

Studies show reporters fear they'll be thrown in prison if Trump is reelected and have face violent threats at his rallies from supporters who tell journalists, "I hope you're dismembered."


They have spent months lying to the country, thinking we must be kin to Boo-Boo the Fool.  

MORNING JOE today offers a comparison of the weekend messages from both campaigns. 



And that's why people are rejecting Donald Trump.  Julia Conley (COMMON DREAMS) reports:


Political observers expressed shock Saturday evening as the Des Moines Register released its final poll before Election Day showing Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leading Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump by three points.

Harris was supported by 47% of respondents compared to 44% who backed Trump.

The newspaper's poll, conducted by pollster J. Ann Selzer, is widely regarded as the "gold standard" survey of voters in the state and has been recognized as "predicting" numerous election results in Iowa and giving a potential preview of how candidates could fare in other Midwestern states with similar demographics.



We have the numbers.  When we fight, we win and, most important, when we vote, we win.  "Don't boo," Barack Obama has repeatedly advised at rallies in the last weeks and he's right.  If you've voted, great.  Now find out who you know that hasn't voted and see if they need help, maybe they need some persuasion, maybe they need a ride to the polls, maybe they need someone to watch their kids while they vote.  It's about the number of votes.  We have them but we have to get voters to the polls on Tuesday.


It was not a good week for grifters.  Donald got checked, JD Vance got checked, Little Marco got checked -- even queen grifter Jill Stein got checked.  Julia Conley (COMMON DREAMS) reports:


  Noting that the U.S. Green Party and its presidential nominee, Jill Stein, have strayed far from the values held by Green parties in countries across the globe, a coalition of European lawmakers representing the organization called on Stein to drop out of the U.S. presidential race to help prevent a victory by Republican nominee Donald Trump.

"The stakes of these elections could not be higher," reads an open letter from politicians and parties from countries including Norway, Belgium, France, Ireland. "We are clear that [Democratic Vice President] Kamala Harris is the only candidate who can block Donald Trump and his anti-democratic, authoritarian policies from the White House."

Stein, who has run for president in the last four elections and won 1.4 million votes in 2016, is now polling between 1.1% and 1.4% and is on the ballot in a majority of states, including almost every battleground state.

The European Greens noted that they advocate "for a politics that prioritizes the planet, people, and peace above corporate greed, systemic injustice, and violence."

"The U.S. Greens are no longer a member of the global organization of Green parties," reads the letter, spearheaded by European Greens co-chairs Mélanie Vogel, a French senator, and Thomas Waitz, an Austrian member of European Parliament. "In part this fissure resulted from their relationship with parties with authoritarian leaders, and serious policy differences on key issues including Russia's full-scale assault on Ukraine."

Stein attended a dinner in Russia in 2015 with Russian President Vladimir Putin and has been critical of U.S. support for Ukraine's defense against the Russian invasion that began in 2022.

In mid-October, Stein joined former Seattle City Council member Kshama Sawant at a rally where Sawant acknowledged that Stein has no chance of winning. At an event in Michigan, Sawant said the state was "ground zero to punish Kamala Harris and defeat her" for Harris' support for the Biden administration's policy in Israel and Palestine. The comment suggested to critics that Stein and her supporters view a Trump presidency as preferable to a Harris victory on November 5.

"The U.S. Green Party is attempting to go after the subset of voters on the left who don't like the Democrats," Carl Roberts, a spokesperson for Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, a political foundation affiliated with the German Green Party, toldThe Guardian in September. "I think this is quite out of step with other Green parties, who always center environmental concerns in their messaging and campaigns as one of their highest priorities." 

Here's the Tweet.




Margaret Kimberley and Anne Garrison had hissy fits on Twitter.  They're stupid fools and have too much say in the Green Party.  I said Jill would be suicide for the Green Party.  They could have gone with Kat Swift, Kent Mesplay, Dario Hunter, anyone -- anyone but the grifter who'd already held the title of presidential nominee two times before.  When you run the same failure three times, you make it clear that your party is not growing.  It's stagnant.  And when that loser is a grifter who grabbed millions from people for a 2016 recount that never really happened?  Your con artist is very close with Donald Trump's campaign for a reason.


Faced with reality, these idiots and kooks can't deal with it.  So you get Margaret Kimberely nuttier then when she used to claim that a plane didn't bring down the Twin Towers now insisting, "They are pro-war collaborators. So yes, they got a call from NATO and I'm guessing from the DNC too."


That's right, Margaret, it's a plot!  An international plot!  It's a plot!  The European Greens are actually CIA!  And NATO!!!!


Do you get how crazy you sound?  Do you?  People are laughing at you -- and, for a change, it's not because your buddies with registered sex offender Scott Ritter, nor is it because of your cheap ass weaves.  Open the purse, Margaret, spend some money on fake hair or wear your real hair.


They are a joke -- and a dirty joke at that.  Their response to this criticism -- accurate criticism -- is not to attempt to refute it but to instead serve up more nutty conspiracies.
