Cdn't be more “on brand” for GOP than to invite a racist comedian to their Nazi rally, claim all the racism is “jokes,” then feign offense at u pting out their racism & calling event a Nazi rally

Only thg missing: Black & brown MAGA validators to claim the racist jokes weren't racist. But Tim Scott, Leveon Bell will b out shucking & jiving soon

..Won’t change sgl vote bc, as has bn made manifest for nearly decade: #Trump supporters are racist, that is why they vote for Trump

Trump once said that the wages of US workers are “too high.”

He praised the idea of illegally firing workers who are on strike.

He said he "hated to give overtime" to his own workers and "wouldn't pay it."

But go on about how Trump is the candidate for working people. Hello?

How bad were the racist remarks on stage at the New York Trump rally? The New York Times was actually forced to call them “racist remarks” and not some euphemism like it usually does (like “racially-tinged comments.”)

🇬🇧UK: Revealed: 14,000 teachers call in sick every day.

"Department for Education (DfE) data show that about 2.5 million school days were lost in 2022-23 as more than 326,000 teachers missed class owing to sickness."

A memo circulating among Donald #Trump's advisers recommends that if he is elected, he bypass traditional background checks by law enforcement officials and immediately grant security clearances to a large number of his appointees after being sworn in.

Via Sarafina Chitika:

You know things are going well when your rally speakers lead with "we promise we aren't Nazis."

Quite the closing pitch from Team #Trump

Hulk Hogan: "You know something Trumpmaniacs? I don't see no stinking Nazis in here. I don't see no stinking domestic terrorists in here."

Tucker Carlson with one of the most shameless comments of all time: "The liberation he has brought to us is the liberation from the obligation to tell lies."

97 years after his father Fred was arrested at a Klan rally, Donald Trump triumphantly returns to New York City to hold a Klan rally

Nailed it.

Tonight we can compare Trump's Madison Square Garden #fascist rally to the 1939 MSG #Nazi rally.
Yes, 20k attended that rally.. But see the first clip "around 100,000 anti-Nazi counter-protesters gathered outside the venue."
America rejected Fascism in 1939 & we'll
Reject #Fascism in 2024.

The clip is from documentary "A Night at The Garden." In 2017 the director was asked :Will you do a comparison of this & a Trump rally?" He said no then, but he might now. Full doc: https://vimeo.com/237489146

National treasure Michelle Obama: Kamala Harris is not losing her train of thought or stumbling over her words. And she's doing it all with vigor and with grace. That's because Kamala Harris is a grown-up. And lord knows we need a grown-up in the White House.

You’ve probably never heard of George Lucas’s Stormtrooper Band. They never had a hit.

I know that several people (Thomas Jefferson and George Bernard Shaw to name but two) have said something to the effect that the electorate gets the politicians they deserve, but just as the UK really didn't deserve the Tories, I'm sure that the vast majority of the US public don't deserve Trump. I really really hope in these last few days of the campaign that sufficient voters turn out to deny him another term in the White House. For all our sakes.

@futurebird When I was a civil servant I had to make sure I paid for my coffee and donut when government contractors held catered meetings. We could not be seen to have taken *anything* from a company with interest in government contracts. Yet we have Congress members who get privileged briefings on things that impact the future of the country, including business sectors, who then get rich on buying stocks. That is wrong. And they are the people who would have to pass a law that would limit their ability to enrich themselves, so here we have the problem. We could perhaps limit their unethical behavior with term limits but again they are the people who would have to make that law.

in the wake of #Israel bombing Iran, it's important to keep in mind that #Trump has been urging #Netanyahu to escalate

Replying to @atrupar
Trump says he's about to speak to Netanyahu and says, "Biden is trying to hold him back ... he probably should be doing the opposite, actually."

“Is America going to be in league with Validmir Putin, Kim Jong Un, China, and North Korea?” asks Rep. Jamie Raskin “or are we going to be on the side of democracy? Those are the stakes in this election.” #Velshi

#Biden: The wealthiest man in the world is his ally. Well, that wealthiest man in the world turned out to be an illegal worker… He’s talking about all these illegals coming our way?

Biden: #Trump is a loser. He’s a loser as a candidate and more importantly in my view, he’s a loser as a man

Biden says Elon Musk was an 'illegal worker' when he began U.S. career https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/26/biden-elon-musk-illegal-worker-began-career.html

@AlliFlowers @Wileymiller @GottaLaff Was going to say something similar. Unfortunately, not all women in Congress are there to make it better or to get things done for the American people. They’re there to sow chaos, throw sand in the gears, and burn it down.

Every vote will be needed - no?
