But after having knocked on doors in South Milwaukee and Kenosha. . . I am baffled.
[And after speaking to several relatives who did the same, in South Philly] I cannot believe how anemic the turnout for the truth ended up being.
I may need a minute or two. May not post much today or tomorrow. Lies -- many of them, preposterous on their face, told by a convicted-for-frauds felon. . . were apparently accepted as facts, by some good sized chunk of the electorate yesterday. And the truth, as spoken (and documented!) by a woman of color. . . was dismissed, out of hand.
But his sentencing will go forward on November 26, 2024 -- in NYC, in Judge Merchan's courtroom. And if jail is part of the sentence, Tangerine will appeal. As these are state level felonies, he cannot self-pardon, though. Out.

I think this says a bit: https://www.yahoo.com/news/opinion-learned-trump-victory-m-104012929.html. add to that, how to reconcile 57% of voters in FL wanted access to abortion but, the state went for him. Voted against your own interests. I disheartened. Not to mention, those Texas border cases are going away~~Abbott wins~
ReplyDelete". . .Harris. . . struggled to counter another Trump-era trend: a torrent of misinformation unprecedented in modern U.S. elections.
ReplyDeleteAn avalanche of misrepresentations and falsehoods about her record was spread by the former president and amplified on right-wing websites and media, including conspiracy theories on issues ranging from migrant crime to voter fraud. . . ."
You and I crossed in the pixels, Anon.
ReplyDeleteI hear you -- and that is a very fair assessment of what it feels like. We are a smaller, meaner, more bitter nation this morning -- there is no denying it.
More than half of us. . . somehow are okay with him -- his misogyny, his racism, his sexism, his lack of curiosity about his fellow Americans. . . and his crimes.
That is. . . our own fault.
But I will predict that the federal judges, as they did with the Muslim Ban 2.0 and 3.0, from about 2018 to 2021. . . will largely blunt his border agenda. It violates all our laws and treaties.
It will be a dark four years, to be sure. I guess my biggest fear now is that he dies of natural causes, some one year into his term -- leaving us the faster, smarter, more evil. . . JD Vance in charge for three years, and at least chance at two terms after that. As long as I am looking at worst case scenarios, that is.
