Is it really relevant where the Drumpfster “won” in the last election? He managed to fool a LOT of people into voting for him. These were, by and large, people who don’t pay much attention to politics. They tuned in late. They didn’t have the proper background on the candidates to make a good decision. They were deceived by the campaign rhetoric. They chose badly.

These people are NOT MAGA. Nothing dissuades MAGA, as we’ve seen. He told MAGA to their faces at a recent rally how stupid he thinks they are and they just laughed like the whole thing was a huge joke. He’s not joking. They just don’t realize it. Feel free to define that for yourselves.

But the point is, the people who tuned in late and were deceived by a slick message? They know better now. They’ve seen the results of their vote. They’re not tuned in regularly so they’re not being conditioned on an ongoing basis, like MAGA is. The landscape has changed. I think a LOT of people who supported the Pedo in the last election have seen the light and won’t vote for him or his agenda again…

Hey, MAGA, your Pedo President gave cash handouts to roughly half of all of the coal plants to help them keep operating. Do you know what that is? That’s socialism! SO, have you been conditioned to freak out when corporations receive socialist benefits? No, you haven’t. Not at all. You’re ONLY conditioned to freak out if socialism helps working class people. You might want to think about that…

Boy, the Dumbass sure hates Norway, doesn’t he? The guy who murders people in boats on the Caribbean, invaded Venezuela and kidnapped their leader, then invaded Iran and continues to threaten to eliminate Iran from the planet is really, really irritated that he doesn’t get a Nobel Peace Prize. It’s like the committee doesn’t even take into account the somewhere between eight and eighteen thousand pretend wars he has settled in his brainsick mind. (The number depends upon the day.)

Oh, but that’s a clue, isn’t it? “The committee.” You see, the Nobel Peace Prize he covets isn’t issued by Norway, the country. It’s issued by a committee that happens to meet in Norway, the country. This has been explained before but it appears the Demented Dotard is too feeble to take on new information so he stays furious at Norway, the country. My guess? Norway doesn’t care. It would be foolish to react too broadly to what a demented moron thinks…

Judges, even trump appointed judges, keep smacking down his efforts to stick his ugly mug into elections around the country. The guy has lost lawsuit after lawsuit. He keeps filing them, to set up his claims of fraud, then judges smack them down because he’s the world’s biggest and worst liar. I suspect this will be like the 2020 election in which he lost and then filed lawsuit after lawsuit. Sixty-one of them.

He lost them all, except the one that asked if observers could observe from a little bit closer. He lost them because there was no basis for them. Hell, Rudy Giuliani lost his law license because he kept bringing the frivolous suits. Now he’s losing again and for the same reason. His “concerns” are nothing but the fever dreams of a tortured mind. His tortured mind is NOT evidence of voter fraud.

Having lost ALL sixty because there was no evidence, MAGA got loud, then attacked the US Capitol, killing several police officers in the bargain. I presume MAGA will be shouting it’s ass off after this election, too. “We didn’t win and we don’t like that!” I’ll tell you this: so far, the ONLY cheating I’ve seen regarding this mid-term election is coming from the GOP with Donny the Dumbass at the helm…

James O’Keefe is a dark-hearted son of a bitch who has made a name for himself distributing false information. That is, he’s a professional liar. He decided to “test” the system he just KNOWS allows people to vote who shouldn’t. He and a guy named Cam Higby went to several voting places, pretending to be other registered voters and attempted to vote. They recorded themselves doing it – then posted the video online.

I’m sure O’Keefe thought it was going to be a blockbuster. Instead, it’s a criminal offense. O’Keefe and Higby are charged with unlawful voting and identity theft, both felonies. Despite the lies of MAGA and the Drumpfster, it looks like voting protections work. Maybe he can think about that while he spends some time in prison…

Trump went to a rally and told the attendees that the economy is great. He said work-a-day Americans can suffer high gas prices because the companies are making hundreds of billions, trillions of dollars. His rich friends are getting richer while you struggle and suffer and he calls that a great economy. He’s not working for regular Americans.

I’ve said this before: the Dow is NOT the economy. The Dow is a CEO happiness indicator, nothing else. If the Dow is up, it’s because large corporations are doing just fine, thank you very much. Every single tick UP in the Dow? It’s a tick DOWN in your lifestyle. It’s a nearly direct correlation. Every time your life gets harder and more expensive, the Dow ticks up. Watch it. See for yourself.

But yesterday, the Dow took a nosedive. The whole stock market did. The Dow dumped nearly 600 points. So now, the “economy” is struggling, even for him and his rich friends. (Fear not, they’ll be fine.) Sadly, there’s no similar correlation to a downturn in the Dow and lives of work-a-day Joes getting better. The stock market crashing just a few days before the mid-terms seems like a metaphor, though, presented by fate to remind everybody what a crappy, crappy job he’s doing as “President…”

Have you seen the Drumpfster on the campaign trail? He was hitting deep red areas to shore up support for deep red candidates preferred by deep red voters. In short, he was mostly not going to places where the election is in question. I feel certain that’s so he can claim later that the candidates won where he went and didn’t win where he didn’t go, ignoring the fact that those particular candidates were likely to win in the first place…

I don’t know which I feel worse about. We lost both Patrick Stewart (86) and Walter Koenig (90) from the Star Trek world and Susan Saint James (80) this week. I was a fan of all three. James hasn’t worked much in recent years. Nor have I seen much of Koenig, but he lives forever as OG Chekov. Stewart seemed never to stop until he had to. They all left behind bodies of work that speak well of them and their talents. What a drag…
