We all know where this is headed.

A Harris victory means prison for Trump.

A Trump victory means a lifetime of golfing for a retired, pardoned Trump.

He gave us the plan in 2020, saying that if Biden won, he’d quit in a month and Harris would become President.

We cannot afford anything other than a Harris victory.

If the corporate media, calls out Trump's mental incapacity with the same fervor they did with Biden in July and even now, Trump will most certainly lose. This includes FOX which isn't a news service but if they act like on for the next 3 weeks instead of an RNC propaganda outlet, Trump will lose. And so will the rich Republican Senate candidates.

We need to do what we can to shame them into it because they are in love with the $$$$.

WaPo is now going at him with all guns blazing. A bit late.

Hardly “guns blazing”, but better than before. Print and electronic media need to call Trump out as a liar, a cheat, and unfit for any elected (or unelected) office. We fired him once for incompetence, ineptitude, and inability, why would we hire him again? But I’m singing to the choir on this page.

They are not saying out loud but I am certain that they all see Vance taking over and he is as rotten as tRump and would deliver exactly what they want.

Vance is absolutely as rotten. I have to wonder, though, if Vance would exhibit the same desire for revenge and retribution, including imprisoning Trump's enemies, if he takes over the helm.

He will lie about being a President of the People. Then he will begin the purge, the pogrom, the persecutions and punishments.

There is no worse purveyor of revenge than a hillbilly who feels they were wronged.

Though more intelligent, Vance is little better than Trump. “Now comes J.D. Vance. The circumstances of “Hillbilly Elegy” (Vance, 2016) could not be more unlike the real estate empire in which Trump was raised. But the isolation is similarly profound and, in spite of great differences in family background, it similarly grows into alienation, othering of opponents, valuing of aggression, and consequent danger.” Edwin B. Fisher, Ph.D. From “The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” edited by Bandy Lee, MD, MDIV

Fox will not become anything different than what it's been for years. And they feel no shame.

The WSJ is sounding like a T**** megaphone with its biased coverage of Harris. No help there...

They're not. CBS Morning mentioned it as a footnote. Instead they focused on the staged McDonald's gambit with Trump serving French fries, saying he liked and could do the job (he really wasn't and only did what he did do, which was serving French fries without taking money or making change) for ONLY 15 minutes!

WaPo included that the shop was shut, and the "customers" were Trump fans who had practised the role.

all ready cooked fries. Cooking fries involves getting splattered with some hot grease.

If we could only shut Fox News down, I think all problems would be solved.

I like the idea of cancelling their news licence and degrading them to the propaganda platform they really are.

Ron, exactly! Fox is poisoning our country to death.

If we lose this race, the nation will be run by Vance as a figurehead. Thiel, Musk and assorted other oligarchs will turn this country upside down. And for jollys, they will put Miller in charge of Homeland Security. We will have installed a complete Kleptocracy with racism and misogyny at its core.

Absolutely! Thiel, Musk, et al will throw money at the Orange Guy and he’ll gladly bail. That’s why we cannot have anything besides a resounding Harris victory.

A Trump victory means a Vance presidency. That's a fact. He's waiting in the wings and chomping at the bit.

*Champing.

None of us is perfect, but … it takes a pedant to ensure that contributors to public fora—such as Professor Richardson’s “Letters From an American”—are toeing the line. You feel me? 🤨

“,,, it takes a pedant ….”

I Roger that.

So am I! Thanks!

Let Vance wait until he's blue in the face. Harris will win this election.
