People convinced me that the post could be used in harmful ways.

Others have made the point I was trying to make w/o giving any openings to the fascists.

Oprah supporting Kamala

Kamala must be so disappointed she can't get a major celebrity to endorse her, like, say, Ted Nugent or Jon Voight

DU users routinely and quickly ask the questions that corporate media NEVER ask

It's not rocket science. We do it every day, but somehow news organizations can't manage.

It's almost as if they're not there to report news but to generate revenue. Talking heads, no input into what is reported. Just there in hopes to get near to power.

When Trump was stealing classified documents, didn't his Secret Service team witness the crime?

And it didn't just take a quick minute, the process went on over the span of weeks, didn't it?

Don't the Secret Service have an duty to prevent/report crimes, especially treasonous crimes?

I really want Drumpf AND all those people who helped/watched him held accountable (jail time) too.

Do I have this right?

An active duty member of our military, the US Army, is afraid to press charges against the Trump entourage because she is afraid of retribution by his supporters?

Wouldn't her boss have her back? The Army is who I'm talking about. Is the Army gonna just sit back and do nothing if one of their members is attacked for having done her duty? I'm referring to Trump supporters who would attack her if she pressed charges, not the bullies in the Trump publicity stunt team who bulldozed their way into Arlington Cemetery.

To rephrase, is the US Army afraid of Trump supporters? Why does one military member have to be the one to press the charges and take the heat and not the Army itself. Isn't attacking an active member of the military while they're on duty, doing their duty, an act of war?

Or to rephrase, wtf?!?

J D Vance - only a Big Mac away from the Presidency

I didn't come up with that, but, to me, that phrase should be enough to motivate anyone to vote
