When a Fascist tells you, "it's just a joke", don't believe 'em.

Michelle Obama: "Kamala, she's putting herself out there. Fearlessly facing down even her harshest critics. She's seeking out Republicans to find common ground. And unlike her opponent, she's not ducking interviews or cowering in safe spaces only with fawning audiences. No, she's showing us what a sane, stable leader looks like. She's not losing her train of thought or stumbling over her words."

“This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty. Donald #Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners),” former Post executive editor Martin Baron, who led the paper while Trump was president, said. “History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.”

🤣 The McDonald’s Trump “worked” at has been getting so many fake reviews on Yelp, Yelp has stopped new comments from being added. Here are a few:

“Customer service was a joke. Senile old man got bronzer on my fries, didn’t wear gloves.”

“The fries were too salty as if someone who lost a major election had been crying over them for an hour.”

“The person who was at the drivethrough vaguely resembled someone who I saw on the news for being a convicted felon.”

Yeah, we're all shocked, nobody could have predicted, etc.

I was raised in a household where abortion was the biggest possible sin. I was progressive over all, even when I was still pretty religious, but abortion was a wedge issue. What started changing my mind was the realization of who was actually getting late term and partial birth abortions. Seeing beyond the idea of abortion, to the people who actually needed them, was fundamental to my understanding of it.

I think Pete handled this perfectly:

Pshyeah.

Via Rupar:

SCARBOROUGH: Why do you think Donald #Trump won't debate her again?

EMHOFF: You saw the first debate didn't you?

S: Yeah

EMHOFF: Yeah. That's why. He got his ass kicked.
#Harris

If I were to pull off a bank heist, I'd wear this. Because why can't you be criminal and whimsical?

Another point: Had Trump and his MAGAt thugs not pushed disinformation so hard and continue to, then none of this would happen and people who need saving would be saved. Now lives are in further danger because people believe Trump's lies.
