The 2024 U.S. Presidential race

Trump: Blathers racist rhetoric and commits overtly racist acts for decades, then holds a rally in NYC an hour-and-a-half before the election.

Press: HOLY SHIT! STOP THE PRESSES! THIS GUY MIGHT BE KINDA RACIST!

Well to be fair, it was probably just locker room racism before.

Fires set in drop boxes destroy hundreds of ballots in Washington and damage 3 in Oregon

Incendiary devices have been set off at two ballot drop boxes — one in Portland, Oregon, and another in nearby Vancouver, Washington — in what one official called a “direct attack on democracy."

Did anyone see any part of Trump's Nazi Rally at Madison Square Garden today?

Ho Lee Shit!

Nope. I can't stand to look at him much less hear the screeching.

It's like the trolley problem. The trolley will kill 5 people, unless you pull the lever to divert it to a side track that imperils only one person. People believe they'll be held less accountable for inaction than for taking action that harms.

Never really got the so-called trolley problem because I know trolleys have brakes.

I don’t even have words for how fucking awful that nazi rally was in NYC. How is this happening?

Consider the source.

Same. I seriously have avoided seeing him (videos of him talking, interviews, speeches) as much as I'm able to. I don't think I've caught more than 10 or 30 seconds of him talking since 2016!

We totally need for her to be our President if she managed to pull this off with no proof left to tell.

A pretty good tweet thread from Josh Marshall on Trump's online army.

Thread by @joshtpm on Thread Reader App

@joshtpm: Obviously this is who Trump is and this is what Trumpism is. But there's part of this that isn't widely enough known, tho it's well-known to a lot of reporters. And that is among GOP operatives...…

Ballot drop box fires in Oregon and Washington are likely connected, officials say

Police said an "incendiary device" was found in a ballot box in Oregon's largest city, while local officials said potentially "hundreds" of ballots were damaged in Vancouver, Washington.

www.nbcnews.com

Ballot drop boxes in Portland, Oregon, and neighboring Vancouver, Washington, were set on fire Monday morning in what authorities believe are connected incidents about a week out from Election Day.

An identical Volvo was spotted at both scenes, and the use of an "incendiary device" in Portland was "similar in nature" to what occurred in Vancouver, the cities' police departments said. Portland police described the act as targeted and intentional.

Three ballots were damaged in Portland, while potentially “hundreds” were affected in Vancouver, local officials said.

More proof that the American experiment is faltering.
