This is who Trump is, who he’s always been. It’s why this lifelong Republican never voted for him. The most disappointing thing over the past 8 years is that the majority of my fellow Christians know this is who he is & don’t care.
Does anyone think it's only a coincidence that Trump's claims of election fraud are only in cities with large black populations (e.g. Philadelphia, Detroit). I suspect Atlanta will be next.
With the polls pretty much tied, I think there’s one factor that’s often ignored when it comes to these two candidates. That is novelty. I think that’s one of the reasons that Obama won in 2008. You have many voters who are apathetic about the election in general, but they have to choose between another old white guy or the first female black Asian president. This factor might be what causes them to break for Harris at the polls.
Wise women. It’s rare now and days to hear Republicans with clarity. Most just spew false political propaganda

Mike Pence: “The American people deserve to know that President Trump and his advisers didn't just ask me to pause, they asked me to reject votes, to return votes, essentially to overturn the election.”

Yeah, a true defender of the 1st Amendment…. 🙄
Talking about a self own! After a nation wide outrage over a comedian at a Trump rally calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” Trump does a photo op in a garbage truck to reinforce the point. You can’t make this stuff up! 😂

Historical evidence and recent studies show that tariffs are taxes that raise prices and reduce available quantities of goods and services for US businesses and consumers, which results in lower income, reduced employment, and lower economic output.
If we had more Republicans, current or former, that plainly laid out the facts like Arnold S does in this post, we would have been done with the nightmare of Trump long before now. The greatest shortage in my party (GOP) is courage.
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.
I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.
My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.
That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.
Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.
It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.
I want to tune out.
But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.
And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.
That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.
For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.
The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.
It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!
But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.
It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.
That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.
Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.
And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
First time I've heard this couched in these terms. I knew oil production was a factor in inflation. I also knew oil production was cut when the demand dropped during the pandemic. But I wasn't aware (and haven't validated) of a deal between Russia & Saudi Arabia with Trump's blessing, though it does make sense.

I suspect there are many MAGA types that would be shocked if they actually knew how their wives voted.
Having come from that world, I also sadly know that some will insist on mail in ballots just so they can solidify their control over how their wife votes.
And my party (GOP) did it again for the third time, which proves Hillary’s point about the number of deplorables in our party.
