Imperfect Word 🪷

Again, I’m not seeing a single “Genocide Don” or “Genocide Trump” post, even after Marco Rubio may become Trump’s new Secretary of State. Where did y’all go? Went on a four-year vacation like Jill Stein does?

If Selzer is correct, and the rest of the polls are off, then we need to have a reckoning for how the media was deliberately creating a situation that would fuel conspiracy theories and violent riots. This is the third time in eight years. People's careers need to end over this.

@TimInHonolulu Every single thing Trump did was enabled by McConnell.

I'm trying to fathom why McConnell would do this right before a national election. Could it be that he is trying to give cover for down-ballot GOP Senators whose internal polls are predicting Trump reverse coat tails are going to sink Mitch's hopes to retake the Senate?

@nmewrath That was masterful

@deanjens @AntiCommieBecca @missmayn Plus there is also rent in the buildings, utilities, insurance, materials, salary for staff who are not involved in direct care like the office manager, taxes, training…companies gouge but it’s a lot more cost than simply having a babysitter come to your house.

@AntiCommieBecca @missmayn For childcare, about half of the cost is the person doing the care directly, so it's not too hard to get within a factor of two with simple arithmetic. If you pay $12 an hour to care for 4 kids, that's $500 per month per kid right there.

i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks. daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

Where I draw the line in this election is the completely absurd and ridiculous claim that “both parties are the same” and then making the profoundly selfish and narcissistic decision to sit this one out because Vice President Harris isn’t saying and doing everything you want.

@TrinityMustache It’s really hard to make sense of.

I do wonder what the hell is going on with this. Is the polling bad? Is it because people are prejudiced against Harris’s gender/race? Is she perceived as more left than the Democratic senators in question? I’d tend to think the polling is bad but it’s been so consistent.

Holy sh*t. Linda Ronstadt has absolutely HAD it with Donald Trump & JD Vance & she is not holding back one bit. This statement is so good. Everyone must read & share this.

Hillary's emails were a story every day despite no actual wrongdoing, but Trump's felony convictions and criminal charges are non-news. Biden's age was front page news for weeks, forcing him to step down, but Trump's advanced age and obvious dementia are never mentioned. Why?

@DavidDtreth @notcapnamerica As a woman who divorced a white man, this completely tracks. Marriage could not have been saved, mostly due to his contempt for women.

@notcapnamerica did you know that being a divorced man is more predictive of being a Trump supporter than being a white man? I didn't. It shocked me.

This seems to be a thruline for Black men who don't like Kamala Harris:

Me at my “Black Job” today. 🤜🏾🤛🏾

It is a *little* weird that "age concerns" have disappeared as a constant focus of campaign reporting and discussion even though the GOP nominee would be the oldest man ever sworn in to the office and is very obviously sharply declining before our eyes.

@mutebranches @not_a_heather Yeah, as an introvert, if someone asks me a deeply personal question I just deflect and then spend the rest of the encounter with that person wondering why they want to know so much about me.

@not_a_heather Like I'm a very shy person, but small talk is obviously where you get most of the actual depths. Ask someone outright about the "big questions" and you'll most likely get a loada hollow nothing (like the OP post there)

It’s really sad how so many grown adults have no idea what the House of Representatives and the Senate are. They just think the president is the entirety of the government and that things do or don’t happen based on that one singular person.

@miraclehwip @CairoTiger @nypost Hey, at least you’re consistent.

@45lovingpatriot @bridgetmcgann It’s tradition. The nominee’s home state gets the honor of being the one to elect the delegates needed to put the candidate over the finish line. You’re trying to make this sound like some sort of scandal and you’re just clueless.

@bridgetmcgann Ooops her home state PASSED. LOL. #Trump2024Vance

@Michael57685053 @InternetHippo How could 12% of the population decide the outcome of the election?

@InternetHippo California alone could decide elections if there was no electoral college. It's a good system.
