  1. It occured to me this morning that if someone told when I first entered the workforce that shortly after I retired, the United States would be on the brink of an attempted coup de etat by a brutal strongman dictator, I would have asked for the name of your dope dealer.

    Optimism is getting more and more scarce. Meanness seems unfettered. The Orange Destruction is ready and eager to get “vicious”, so he is calling in his orcs and trolls… the bloodshed will be tremendous.

    Many of those who are duty bound to serve him are also duty bound to stop him. ‘Cause I gotta tell you boys…the Capt’n is off his nut.

     

  2. Tune of “Biden my time”

    -0-

    I’m votin’ for Biden this time

    Cuz Trump is nose deep in crime.

    I’m voting for Kamala too

    Cuz Pence he just doesn’t do.

    Yes, votin’ for Biden this time

    Had enough of Trumpstink and slime.

    Thank God, in just 50 days,

    We’ll send these goons on their ways.

     

  3. Reportedly, Michael Bloomberg is giving $100 million to help Biden carry Florida.  Victory there means winning just one of the remaining swing states would oust Trump.  The Bloomberg drive also frees Democratic funds to concentrate on other swing states.

    Yay, Bloomberg!

      1. He can't. The state apparatus has told these ex-felons they cannot vote because they owe money. When the ex-felons ask: "How much?", the state replies: "We can't tell you and won't be able to tell you for a few years".

    1. The money needs to be spent now.  Bloomberg is pretty late on this.  Appreciated, but seriously, ballots start going out this week many places.  And his $100M is a lot, but a piss in a bucket for him.  

    2. The quote from Bloomberg's staff is "nine digits" — which COULD be $100 million (and several people have said that, seeing it as an epic trolling of *resident Trump saying he would be using $100 million of his own funds) or those 9 digits could be all 9s … who knows. 

      Ad messages are going to be there pushing "vote early" in Florida.  The state allows processing of ballots starting 22 days before the final day of voting,  Election officials must notify people of any problems with their ballots, and the voter can "cure" until 2 days after voting is done.  Ballots can be counted on November 3, so all those in early will impact initial ballot counts. 

    1. It's a sad state of affairs in this country when people will risk infection at a super spreader Trump rally, posing as a Magamoron, for 12 bucks an hour. 

      Provided he's not incarcerated, maybe Trumps final rally a few years down the road from now will feature 100 % fake, paid supporters, and everybody will be aware of the fact but him. Let him ride out into the sunset in his own fantastical bubble…

  4. The 2021 National Western Stock Show has been canceled. Our rural-patriot-brothers have taken to Facebook and are up in arms, yet another sign of how Polis is destroying our state.  <sigh>. There's even linkies to his appointment of a vegan to the State Board of Veterinary Medicine as proof!!  Forget your guns, he's coming after our livestock! 

    Meanwhile in Israel…

    1. Background if anyone is interested:

      QAnon Key Figure Revealed as Financial Information Security Analyst from New Jersey

      Wilson is hilarious and snarky but he is not always correct.
      Not the pig farmer in library with the pipe.

      The next step would be to run that safari pic through Clearview AI …. kind of use their own tool against them.
