Gutting Out the Vote 0

Lemont:  What's wrong with you?  Bus Stop Guy, wearning a MAGA-hat:  People are already voting by mail.  Voting isn't supposed to be easy and convenient.  That invites fraud.  The only way to ensure a fair vote is to vote only during one single weekday where the minorities who manage to get time off work stand in line for hour in crucial states because my party closed so may of ther polling places . . . .  Lemong:  I'm sorry for your loss.  Bus Stop Guy:  Don't interrupt.  I was about to say,

Both Sides Don’t 0

Steve M. is fed up with the press’s bothsiderism. He notes that the press seems reluctant? incapable? too wedded to the horse race? to identify the instigators. Indeed, he sees a pattern (emphasis in the original):

The truth is always the same: partisans on one side, partisans who are also angry intimidators on the other side.

Dis Coarse Discourse 0

Various right-wing commentators operatives have been criticizing Kamala Harris for “code-switching.”

At Above the Law, Mark Herrmann notes the fatuousness of that attack. He writes

. . . don’t blame Kamala Harris for code-switching.

We all code-switch in endless situations.

Follow the link for his reasoning.

Afterthought:

Of course, to anyone who can decode de code, this criticism of Harris is a coded–you will pardon the expression–attempt to appeal to racists without sounding overtly racist.

Rita Brent comments at the Youtube page:

Levity is my specialty, but know that I find it sad and disgusting how particularly Black people’s identity, heritage, and actual existence are always questioned because some don’t think we’re worthy of sharing space with them. Well— we are worthy, and the world does not belong to YOU. We won’t be silenced or sit by idly allowing blatant lies, disrespect, or birtherism claims! Vote decency, competence, and humanity— Kamala Harris for President!

An Infestation of Moles 0

From my old NPR station in Philly:

Across the country, a network of Republican political operatives, lawyers and their allies is trying to shape November’s election in ways that favor former President Donald Trump. Their goal is to prop up third-party candidates such as West who offer liberal voters an alternative that could siphon away support from Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.

Aside:

As I mentioned over there ——-> on the sidebar, one must needs vote in the real world for one’s vote to matter.

A Tune for the Times 0

Mangy comments at the Youtube page:

Donald Trump’s recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery was, like most of what Donald does, shameless, tasteless, and possibly illegal. No one would have been much surprised if he’d brought Kid Rock along to play a song or two while Trump danced on some heroes graves, or perhaps Trump might have lain on the lid of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier while yelling, “Look at me. I’m a hero too”. (You can be sure if Trump had done this, Jesse Watters of Fox Network would have talked about how it was far, far more offensive to the memory of our soldiers when Kamala wore a pantsuit to the cemetery.)
