For anyone who is interested, my header photo is of the most stupendous sunset I have ever seen. On the right is the waterfront of Vientiane, the capital of Laos, on the left is Thailand and in the middle, acting as the border between the two countries is the mighty Mekong river.

How is the big news in America right now *not* that Trump simulated *multiple* sex acts with a microphone at a rally 96 hours before Election Day? What other news do voters need to be hearing about now? Explain it to me like I was't a journalism professor.

When you realize you just accidentally revealed Trump’s plan to kill tens of thousands of Arizona jobs and repeal the BIPARTISAN CHIPS act…

There seems to be a major media blackout regarding Trump simulating multiple sex acts on stage in Wisconsin last night—despite the fact that it was a sequence of events so bizarre and unsettling many voters will deem it disqualifying. I can't explain this.

Ask yourself: what would happen if Kamala Harris did this?
Yes. You saw right. This is Trump on stage at a rally, pretending to perform a sex-act on a microphone.
This is not normal. Trump is disgusting, unhinged and unfit to represent the United States. Vote him out.

Words well said by an extremely experienced and well-known Republican operative.
Rape, sexual assault, habitual lying and fraud appear to be aspirational for many US males!

Single most important graphic to share with MAGA:
Here are the words of 8 of Trumps top Generals.
Please tell me one good reason why we should take the words of the convicted felon who was found liable for FRAUD, over some of the most respectable men from his own time in the White House.
Please share.

Betty Bowers: "Trump's Closing Messages:
1. "Shoot Liz Cheney."
2. "Puerto Rico is garbage."
3. "My economic plan is going to cause you pain."
4. "I'm going to take away your healthcare."
5. "I'm going to drive up inflation with huge tariffs."
6. "I'm going to drive up the price of food by deporting the people who pick your vegetables." #politics

THIS JUST IN:
Car ban begins in the center of #Paris.
Starting on Monday, Nov. 4, 2024: no through-traffic will be allowed in four central arrondissements on the Right Bank. (Home to the Louvre, Notre-Dame, and the Marais).
This is a big deal.

Yes, if you look at the figures, the US economy grows apace under Democrat administrations and hits the rocks the moment the Republicans are elected. Somehow the extreme right wing who dominate the media in the USA and elsewhere lie through their back teeth about this and manage to convince the average American voter that black is white!

The average US male appears to have an absolutely prehistoric attitude to women verging on the thoroughly disgusting!
I suspect that is why Trump is unaccountably popular even though he has been ajudged as a rapist and guilty of serious sexual assaults, not to mention a convicted fraudster! Those are activities that the average American Joe regards as aspirational!

Good Morning, all
104 years since women got the vote in America and *this* is still a thing?
82 year old woman votes for first time as her late hubby thought women shouldn't vote:

Guess Dems worry it's a widespread problem:

Also, Don The Con has vowed to "protect women, whether they like it or not..."

Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism
Christianity has caused the genocide of the Aztecs, the Incas, many aboriginal people worldwide, millions
Religion is shit really
There's no God

Antisémite? No. Anti Israeli? Fuck yes. Especially when polls consistently show that a majority of Israelis would want to continue their genocide even with a change of leadership. Netenyahu isn't the problem. Israelis are.
Oh, and fuck you.
