Right? How did she not understand what was going to happen?

And I hope that there are thousands of women like Cheney who will give a bit on their pro-life stances because they now understand that the extreme right doesn't care about women.

CNN:
Former Georgia GOP lieutenant governor encourages Republicans to vote for Harris in sprint to election

Geoff Duncan, a Republican and former Georgia lieutenant governor, is making a final push to convince swing state voters in his party to vote for Kamala Harris.

He said he and other Republican officials who are backing Harris are “truly, genuinely embarrassed every time (Trump) sees a microphone or a camera... — he’s a fraud.”

Trump’s rhetoric is dangerous, but the media isn't calling it out enough. His incoherent speeches are often dismissed, but they reveal a serious decline in his capacity to lead. This isn't a joke; it's a warning sign of a looming authoritarian threat. If reelected, the danger to democracy will only escalate.

The truth about Trump finally revealled by Trump himself to his fellow Republicans.

He's a very deranged, very old, very poor excuse for a man.

WSJ's Rebecca Ballhaus:

In Maricopa County, votes will be counted with drones overhead and police snipers standing ready. Election workers have gone through active-shooter drills and learned to barricade themselves or wield fire hoses to repel armed mobs.

A theory:
Simple minds want an authoritarian leader, similar to how a young child needs parental authority.

This is why the so-called “conservatives” (U.S. Republicans) have for decades, continually undermined public education: create more ignorant voters.

How is #ElonMusk paying for votes for #DonaldTrump legal? It isn't. And he would have never paid up anyway. Another reason to pass $$ to the grifter #MAGA

Baldwin: Hovde Should Stay Out Of All Women's Personal Lives

@wdlindsy

one of the main things that infuriate me is that rapists can try to get custody and/or visitation

that means the person they raped will have to deal with their rapist for years

this is beyond disgusting and damaging and should NEVER be allowed

an abortion ends all of that and is an option that protects the person who was raped

"There is a reason the term 'fascist' is in such wide circulation as Mr. Trump amps up a campaign increasingly built around nativism, racial resentment, fear and threats, Ms. [Ruth] Ben-Ghiat said.

'It’s a measure of the urgency and sense of emergency that Hillary Clinton and Mark Milley are using this word,' she said. 'It packs a punch.'”

The vast majority of undocumented immigrants arrived in the U.S. before 2010. They're our neighbors, friends, coworkers, and loved ones.

Mass deportations would separate American families and rip millions of long-established immigrants out of our communities 👇🏽

Maybe Pennsylvania voters should be asking Elon Musk why he is only just now giving away money to people. If he has so much disposable money, why hasn’t he helped open new businesses, fix roads, fund schools, buy medication for the elderly, or help people get out from under mortgages?

Maybe it’s because he’s a cheap evil bastard who can spend a few million this month to buy votes, so that he can then gut the union and make everyone like in his company housing and buy from the company store.
