I was going through my pictures from 2020, I’m a little embarrassed to say that there’s probably more memes, posts, articles, and pictures taken of whatever I was trying to make a point of on the tv, than there is actual pictures.

This is a Tweet (remember those!? I don’t know what they’re called now. Hates?) from Robert Reich ( no sh*t Eugene!? Get to the point!)on the morning of Election Day 2020. It’s the same plan then, as it is now.

Donald Trump has no respect for America, it’s institutions that have endured 248 years, our systems of government or democracy in general.

This will be Americas 60th presidential election. You know how many of those were accused by one side or the other of being “rigged”? Three!!! Before a single vote had been cast in 2016, the election was said to be “rigged”. The 2020 election there was accusations or fraud and a stolen election that were prominent. The other election that had claims of being “rigged” is this one, the 2024 election. What is the common variable in all three of these elections? 🤔

I can already see the comments now, ‘People said that Hilary won’, and ‘Democrats said the 2000 election was stolen’, and to an extent they’re not wrong, but they’re not right either (well they’re right wing but, you know). The Florida recount in 2000 was a bit interesting how that conclusion came to be but, Gore went on television and conceded. In an utter display of class he told the American people that the Supreme Court had ruled, and that it was time, for the sake of Americans good, to move forward. He went to the inauguration of George W Bush. The 2016 election, I think everyone was in shock that Hilary was defeated in the electoral college by a failed businessman and two bit reality tv personality. Hilary won the popular vote by over 3.5 million votes but that doesn’t count (no pun intended) for whatever reason. (I know the reason, but it’s too much to go in to at this moment) Yet Hilary conceded when the counting was finished, and had the grace to show up at the inauguration of Trump, which I sure was utterly painful.

We all know how the 2020 election went. Trump and his allies doing everything they could to stop the vote before all the ballots were counted. That’s not how it works. That’s like a sports team getting a lead in the game and saying, ‘we won! Games over!” It’s not how real life works. You “play” till the end.

Trump is going to do the same thing this time. Because Democrats work (😉) Trump will be up in many states throughout the day and early evening. As the night goes on, Kamala’s numbers will continue to rise until her eventual victory, which will take several days to officially be over.

I want to say this now, to liberals, Republicans and especially MAGA. THE ELECTION ISNT DONE UNTIL ALL THE VOTES HAVE BEEN COUNTED. THATS HOW IT WORKS, WE ALL HAVE A VOTE AND IT IS ENTITLED TO BE COUNTED. DESPITE WHAT YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, MIDNIGHT IS NOT WHEN ELECTION DAY IS OVER, IT IS OVER WHEN EVERY SINGLE VOTE HAS BEEN TALLIED AND IS COUNTED FOR ITS RESPECTIVE SIDE.

This is going to be an ongoing issue until, somewhere between the 7th and the 10th. This is perfectly normal. This has happened in almost every modern election. It’s Trump and his narcissism, Republicans grasping on to relevancy, and powers that wish to benefit themselves, not the nation that will be pushing the narrative that it’s “illegal” or the “election is being stolen behind closed doors”. In all actuality it’s professionals, doing their job, to ensure every Americans voice is heard.

Trump is going to lie and lie and lie some more. He will throw wild accusations out there, he already is, he will tout crazy conspiracy theories, he already is, he will whine and b*tch and complain, he already is. Don’t listen.

For 57 presidential elections, our system has been the envy of the world. The most accurate and fair system developed. It’s only 3 that have EVER has accusations of fraud, or being rigged or stolen. The common denominator in those 3 elections is Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is a traitor, a selfish human being, and a terrible person. He does not deserve to be anywhere near the White House. Let’s keep it that way and vote for a real leader, Kamala Harris.

[eugenedebs1920]

Donald Trump has conned nearly half America into thinking that with over a dozen failed business, 6 bankruptcies, and defaulted loans, that he’s a successful businessman. He’s conned nearly half America into thinking that despite having multiple wives, with multiple children, that he cheated on all of, while settling rape cases out of court, being adjudicated for rape, bragging about sexually assaulting women, that he’s a moral Christian man. He’s conned nearly half America into thinking that despite his only accomplishments while in office being a massive tax break that only benefited the upper 11% of earners, lowering Americans standing around the globe, dividing this country like no president ever has, that he was a great president. He’s conned nearly has conned nearly half the country into thinking that despite losing the last election by huge numbers, then refusing to concede, makes a scheme to create fake electors to defraud the American electorate, when that doesn’t work then he tries to intimidate local officials to “find” votes for him, all the while he’s been removing nuclear secrets, war plans, state secrets and classified documents, when he knew he lost the election, to hide at his various properties, he baselessly claims the election is stolen, even though he filed 64 lawsuits, recounts and audits in every state contested, riling up his base in false accusations, incites a coup to stop the certification of the election he lost, betraying his oath to the Constitution, that he should be president again!

He hasn’t conned us! We see through his con and call bullsh*t! Donald Trump is a failure, a rapist and a traitor. He certainly doesn’t belong in the White House.

Vote Kamala Harris and Tim Walz at the top of the ticket, and blue all the way down, if you want to see the change in this country we deserve!

[eugenedebs1920]

This is Trump’s America. Him and reptilian alien, turtle variant, Mitch McConnell, not only their theft of Obama’s Supreme Court pick, not only rushing through Amy Barrett, in a breathtaking feat of hypocrisy, but the unlawful obstruction in the vetting of Kavanaugh, who, as fate would have it, not only takes rights away from women’s bodies by enacting (or removing)laws, turns out he is a serial sexual assailant, taking away a woman’s freedom to say no to what he will do to her body!

Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott are some of the most hideous humans on earth! Texas is the scrimmage game of how JD Vance and the psychopaths with the Heritage Foundation want America to be in accordance to their dystopian manifesto Project 2025 (and if you think Trump isn’t going to be using that playbook because he said so, you don’t know Donald Trump). Between Paxtons antidemocratic, unethical, countless lawsuits to disenfranchise voters in Texas, his case to get women’s medical records so if they go out of Texas to get medical treatment for a miscarriage, the government is aware and will jail her. Abbotts razor wire in the Rio Grande, his relentless disparagement and dehumanizing of immigrants, this is a glimpse of a future with a second Trump term.

Texas is huge! It’s very much a microcosm of America. Large, diverse cities on the gulf coast, a few scattered larger cities, and a very rural center. Austin, one of, if not the, #1 music city in America, very blue, large population, great place! Houston, and the surrounding areas. Massive population, heavy blue, large diversity. Dallas Ft. Worth. Red leaning yet purple, massive population. Then there’s a lot of rural desert area. It is voter suppression that keeps that state red. With its minority populations, the younger families in the major cities, the hip young areas. It should be blue, if not a close 50-50. Paxton was on Steve Bannons show in 2022 BRAGGING, LAUGHING, with Bannon on how he had taken the votes of 2 MILLION Texas voters away from them right before the 2020 election saying “Texas could have been one of those Biden states”. That’s the Republican Party!!! That’s Project 2025 and the 2nd Trump term. That is the microcosm of America if we don’t stop voting against our own interests (I’m looking at you MAGA) and start voting for those who will actually represent you and do their job according to the Constitution.

What kind of America does an 18 year old hopeful mother DIE because she’s having a miscarriage and can’t get the help she needs. Another young woman in Tx, 23, wanted a sibling for her 2 year old, at 16 weeks there’s a problem, the fetus dies. This 23 years old mother gets sepsis, has 40 hours of excruciating pain in a Texas emergency room as doctors look on and can’t do anything to save this 23 year old mom. She dies in the hospital after 40 hours of suffering. From sepsis needing an assisted miscarriage (an abortion)

That’s what the right can’t wrap their dogmatic little brains around! Abortion is not simply discarding a viable child, it women’s health! Things don’t always work out with pregnancies and a woman needs healthcare. Shes not doing it because she doesn’t respect life or whatever other misogynistic bullsh*t thing the anti abortion freaks say! Also! Mind your own f*cking business!! What a man and a woman decide when planning to have a family is their own private decision!

You know who does respect woman’s rights? You know who believes a woman should be in control of her own body? You know who respects the sanctity of life enough to keep a mother alive by allowing the reproductive healthcare she needs!? Kamala Harris.

For freedom, for Woman’s rights, for women’s LIVES!! Vote Kamala Harris

Welcome back folks! To yet another; Things Fascists Say!!!!!

Even with 3 days to go our little totalitarian trash man tyrant can’t stop bringing the hits! Here Donny the d*ckless wonder boy continues his threats against his political opposition. This time aimed (😉 wink 😉) at the daughter of potentially the most reputable conservative alive. I’ve heard of the 7 gun salute but 9!?! Slow your roll tubbo!

With 3 days till election, I’m sure our least favorite fascist will slip up again, we’ll be there to bring it to you. ON; Things Fascists Say!!!

As always friends, keep fascism where it belongs, not in America!…

[eugenedebs1920]

The look on the face of Federal Judge Micheal Luttig, a George H. W. Bush appointee and lifelong constitutional scholar says it all. It’s the look of a parent when their child has committed a grave offense. Not mad but disturbed and deeply disappointed. The only time my mom looked at me like that at me like that is when she found out how much I’d been ditching high school.

Judge Luttig, a man who worked as a law clerks for Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger and then Judge Antonin Scalia, (would be seated on the Supreme Court later) would be associated with Scalia in his view on law and the rulings he would make. Judge Luttig would serve as assistant attorney general under H.W. Bush before being appointed to the 4th District as a Federal Judge. A man who helped Clarence Thomas with his controversial nomination to the Supreme Court. A man who I would think I would never talk about, let alone admire. A man who served his whole career for this country.

I recognize that look on his face. Not mad! But very very disappointed. This highly conservative judge has been speaking out since the Trump v United States ruling by the current Supreme Court for their awful decision. A conservative judge who puts country over party. Who believes the Constitution is far more valuable than any affiliation with any political perspective. Who cares immensely for this country. It is that love of country that I recognize, and potentially the only view we have in common. Yet him and I will be voting for the same person this election. Along with countless other conservatives and Republicans whom I would never associate with. It’s called allegiance to America, not devotion to one man. That’s patriotism! For that I commend him.

[eugenedebs1920]

The situation we find ourselves in is on account of 2 things! Democrats kind hearted, trusting nature, and Republicans lust for relevancy, power and their spinelessness.

Trump should be either, in prison/Guantanamo bay, or on trial heading towards one of those locations.

The corruption is infuriating! I’m no law scholar or a constitutional lawyer, just some dumb plumber, but the fourteenth amendment section 3 CLEARLY states:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President or Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military under the United States or under any State, who having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature,or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemy thereof.

It’s not hard to comprehend what they were articulating. It’s not hard to understand their meaning in some textualism nonsense! Simple! If you, as an American holding federal office, rebelled against or staged a coup, albeit failed or otherwise, violated the oath you took, to protect and defend, the Constitution of the United States, you are disqualified from holding any federal position again! Simple!

To say this Supreme Court isn’t partisan. To say they aren’t corrupt, can only be attested to being deaf blind and dumb, or pure partisan hackery! Shame on them! Shame on Mitch McConnell, and frankly shame on garbage MAGA! It is clear the simple minded loyalty far outweighs the Constitution to them. It is easy to see the sycophancy holds more reverence to them than their nation. The lack of foresightedness to the consequences of their allegiance to one man, one party, one view of the United States has potential to result in its downfall. For when the structures of government are burdened to the ground, in their ashes lie the remnants of democracy, with our republic wafting away like smoke from the rubble.

What will be built upon the heap of a once free and prosperous nation, will be the unqualified craftsmanship of the terrorist responsible for its demise. Raised on the flimsy ground of oligarchs and plutocrats, a foundation reinforce with the same seditionists who oversaw the demolition. With its structure made, not for the people, but for those who seek its exploitation. A decor of fascism and oppression hanging on the walls of tyranny, portraits resembling an illusion of what once was. Above head the autocratic shingles drip the rewards to its inhabitants poured down from the servitude of the constituency. This flimsy construct of a building erected for the benefit of the few, by the many, will find its supports fail time and time again, only worsening the conditions upon those whose labor constructed it.

The whole purpose of the tripartite system, the whole reasoning behind checks and balances, the entire point of the three branches of government was to prevent consolidation of power, not to enhance it! With a minority rule this has been achieved.

In their gullibility Democrats, liberals stood by assuming the structures of our Constitution would hold. Actively watching this demolition take place. Hardly putting forth a struggle against it. Their morality prohibiting the defense of democracy in some self righteous weakness against tactics of corruption not on the same grounds of that in which this code of conduct would give good grace. When one comes to dismantle the very structure of your republic you do not stand as a nail but as an iron beam. Not all can be trusted, not all have a standard of ethical conduct upon which they stand. You cannot win a boxing match when your opponent shows up with a machete.

It is the trust from the left that allowed these attacks on our Constitution to occur as much as it was demonsterous betrayal of it from the right.

[eugenedebs1920]

This Halloween, from the producers of the dystopian classic Project 2025, in association with those who brought you the Jan 6th insurrection. nothing could be more frightening, a future under the Trump regime. Don’t miss your chance to miss this horror show. Go to your precinct and if you haven’t, register to vote, then vote Kamala Harris.

OR ELSE!………

[eugenedebs1920]

You know what time it is!!!? Time for yet another!: Things Fascists Say!!!

In this delightful little quickie our tiny handed, dubious traitor, Dictator Donny, fills his diaper with this doozy. Another in a long line of the never ending series of undermining our democratic election process. Claiming the election is rigged with absolutely no evidence of it whatsoever. Pewewee, smells like someone needs a diaper change with that bullsh*t.

Stay tuned friends for the thrilling conclusions on!: Things Fascists Say!!!

Until next time and As always folks. Let’s keep fascism where it belongs, not in America!!

[eugenedebs1920]

In the continuing quest for authoritarian rule Trump has called for revoking the licenses of ABC, because they fact checked him at the debate. He’s said he would revoke both NBC and MSNBC’s licenses as well. He’s hurled threats at The NY Times grumbling about what he’ll do to them if elected. Same with the Washington Post. He’s called for CBS to lose their license and just yesterday filed a lawsuit against them for $10 billion (which is frivolous intimidation suit and will not amount to anything but a sanction against Trump & his lawyers) because 60 mins edited the Harris interview to fit the allotted time frame.

Does anyone notice who’s not on that list? His propaganda machines in OAN, NewsMax and the trusty wing of his campaign, Fox News.

Friends! This is how democracy dies. When tyrants silence any opposition to them. Where truth is whatever the great leader says it is. Where state sponsored press is the only information available.

This is how it is in Russia, North Korea, Iran and Saudi Arabia. This is what America has in store with a Trump reelection.

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, retired Admiral William McRaven, former commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, the man who directed the assault which killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011 said when talking about shortcomings and “foibles” other presidents possessed, “none of them violated every principle of good leadership like Donald Trump does. Mr. Trump has no self control, lashes out at immigrants, religious groups, military heroes. He lies with recklessness abandon.” Adm. McRaven continued “These are the things a disturbed 15 year old boy would do, not the Commander in Chief, who holds the nuclear codes. Not the leader of the free world.”

What is this? The tenth? Twentieth high ranking military official who has warned of the consequences of Trump and another Trump presidency?

It’s time to ask yourself. Do I want this guy dictating my future? Do I want to leave it to chance and not vote? Am I prepared to raise a family under totalitarian rule?

We have the power to decide these things. We just have to make our decision clear, and vote for Kamala Harris.

[eugenedebs1920]

This election is about the future. Our fates are in our hands. The decision we make in a few days will dictate the next 30 or more years of our lives. Do we want a man who will continue his enrichment of the rich, his patronizing of the poor, his vendetta on his verdicts, the continued marginalization of the middle class, his crusade against the constitution, trampling of the truth, destroying of democracy,lessening of our liberties, his assault on the dream of ordinary Americans.

Or would we want a woman who’s life’s work has been to service, who’s been protecting the people, standing up for the small, prosecuting the predators, helping the helpless, finding the forgotten, bravely busting the big banks, litigating against the lawless, in her quest to defend democracy, restore our republic, assure our allies, frighten and frustrate our foes, expand our economy, curb the corruption, pursue progress, move the middle class more towards financial independence, together with her tenacity, forever fighting for freedom , for us, unified once again as the people of the United States of America!!

The choice is ours…

[eugenedebs1920]

Oh my sweet gentle Jebus! If that’s not the WORST duo for women I don’t know what is! Can you imagine!? The guy who took away a woman’s right to bodily autonomy, a guy who suggested injecting bleach in the body and shining sunlight up your butthole. The same guy who said, “like a miracle it will just go away” when a deadly virus was taking lives by the hundreds of thousands! A man who’s clearly not well himself. Won’t release his medical records like every other presidential candidate has (or his tax returns, not the point)

Put that together with a guy who caused an outbreak of polio in a third world country because of his anti vaccination stance. Now wants to peddle that same outcome in America!?. A guy who has a dead worm in his brain and has decades of sexual assault settlements and allegations (guess him and Trump have that in common) and mutilates dead wales and baby bears!! Him as surgeon general or worse!?

Holy smokes!! Run ladies!! Run!!!

Pretty much anyone with a child, with preexisting conditions, the elderly, the immunocompromised will be in severe danger!

Seriously WTF!? Make American revert 80 years!? 😳

[eugenedebs1920]

So I’ve been researching voter suppression and was planning on writing a whole, overly long, data driven, boring diatribe (still might) when I ran in to this. Rep. Takano lays it out better than I could.

Here is House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, Ranking Member Mark Takano addressing Republican Committee members when voting to subpoena the VA for documents regarding registering veterans to vote.

9/10/2024

“Good Morning and thank you. Prior to our January 11 vote to authorize a subpoena regarding documents in the Committee’s investigation into sexual harassment at VA, this Committee had not voted to issue a subpoena since 2016. 

 When I held the gavel during the last two years of the Trump Administration, this Committee did not issue a single subpoena. There were plenty of occasions we could have issued subpoenas for the sake of performance over real oversight, but we chose to put veterans over politics.  

We relied on the independence of the Inspector General to thoroughly identify and investigate wrongdoing, and we chose not to interfere with ongoing investigations to score press and media hits. 

Yet now, the Republican Majority this Congress has threatened to subpoena VA on at least a dozen occasions for its supposed failure to comply with the Majority’s impossible requests. This severely cheapens this Committee’s oversight authority.  

We have been through this exercise several times before under the current Majority, and the script is highly predictable.  

The Chairman makes a vague, onerous, and overly burdensome document request of VA with a purposely unmeetable deadline. VA produces documents in response to the request.  

The Majority doesn’t like the answer they receive, screams that VA failed to meet their unmeetable deadline and then threatens to, or in this case goes through with, issuing a subpoena to compel VA to produce documents they don’t have, are already trying to produce, or have already produced.  

The question we must ask is why we see such temper tantrums from our current Majority?  It is not out of an earnest desire to acquire information and hold VA accountable for its failings. No, clearly it is not. Rather, this subpoena resolution, and frankly the hearing that will follow, is a red herring meant to distract veterans from the truth: that this Republican majority has absolutely nothing to show for its time in charge other than chaos, dysfunction, and paranoia.  

I hope the veterans who are watching see this subpoena for what it is, an anti-democratic and purely political effort to stoke conspiracy theories and ultimately suppress efforts to help veterans and their caregivers vote. Why does the Majority want to suppress the votes of veterans and caregivers? We should want all veterans and caregivers to be able to vote. With how much control elected officials wield over veterans’ health care and benefits, the stakes are enormously high for veteran voters, and their voices should be heard. It is dumbfounding to me that my colleagues would take issue with veterans exercising their right to vote, a right they served and fought for and sometimes died to protect.  

The Heritage Foundation, the same organization responsible for Project 2025, is using the Republican-led committees across Congress to suppress voter access.  

They have literally published a public-facing memorandum outlining strategies to frustrate efforts to encourage Americans to exercise their fundamental right to vote.  

But what makes this subpoena particularly weird and confusing, is that its underlying premise is that VA should not promote veterans’ access to voting, though it has been VA policy to do so since the Bush Administration. This policy was most recently renewed during the Trump Administration.  

Even weirder, the law underpinning this policy and President Biden’s Executive Order has been in place for thirty years. The National Voter Registration Act explicitly allows states to request that federal agencies or non-governmental agencies accept the designation as a voter registration agency.  

Pursuant to this law, VA is partnering with the state of Michigan to be a voter registration agency, but VA has considered partnerships with Kentucky, Georgia, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Nevada to help veterans access the polls.  

Yet the Majority is insistent that VA’s efforts constitute electioneering or some sort of partisan political effort to affect voting in swing states and districts. How is registering veterans to vote, no matter where they are, inherently partisan or political?  

Through the partnership with Michigan, VA is providing voter registration assistance to veterans in very limited circumstances when processing a change of address or during a Public Contact Team appointment. VA employees were given training by state officials, which included a review of prohibited partisan political conduct while assisting veterans with registration as required by law.  

If my colleagues are so concerned with states and agencies following the letter of the National Voter Registration Act, why aren’t they spending their time repealing it?  Instead, my colleagues are attacking VA for helping veterans register to vote. They are making a mockery of the Committee’s subpoena authority to the most anti-democratic end I have ever witnessed on this Committee. And I am frankly appalled that they have decided to go to these lengths to serve their political aims. This is not Congressional oversight. This is voter suppression.  

In the hundreds of documents VA has already produced for the Majority, there is nothing to indicate that VA has violated the law in any way. The only thing I am concerned about in terms of VA’s actions here is why they are not doing more to register veterans to vote.  

Later this week Congress is voting on the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship before registering to vote in federal elections.  The Majority has no credible evidence that foreign citizens are voting in federal elections; in fact, this is already an illegal practice.  

But this Majority has proven that it will never be deterred by facts or evidence, so it is no surprise they are going to plow forward with this bill. I am opposed to it and will be voting no. But what’s shocking is that in their rush to block people from voting, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have decided that blocking veterans from voting is just as important as blocking undocumented immigrants.  This subpoena is a gross and obvious effort to stifle veteran voter registration. This is voter suppression.  

But again, it is also a red herring, a distraction from the Majority’s inability to lead, their inability to govern, and their inability to accomplish anything meaningful for veterans.  

I certainly do not have veterans banging on my door demanding to know why VA is helping veterans register to vote. However, I do have service members stationed overseas contacting my office saying that they need better access to voting – an issue I am working on. I also have veterans and their providers asking me what our plans are to ensure VA has the resources it needs to continue delivering health care and benefits to those who have earned them. So, I must ask who does this Majority serve – veterans or Project 2025?  

I also must ask, to what end is this exercise? I have yet to see my Majority colleagues produce any legislation that actually addresses the issues we’ve spent countless hours of Committee time considering in hearings to help improve VA.  

All I have seen is wasted time on deeply flawed bills that have no outlook for becoming law because they are Project 2025 pipe dreams that will do nothing to actually improve VA or help veterans.  

Mr. Chairman, using the subpoena authority of the Committee to investigate conspiracy theories is beneath us and should never be considered.  

The Committee must hold itself to the highest possible standard, because abuse of the subpoena for political gain – especially when it implicates fundamental constitutional rights – is a very real risk.  

 By fear mongering and stoking conspiracies that VA is doing something nefarious by registering veterans to vote, my colleagues are showing how little they trust veterans to actually exercise their right to vote. But I will say to veterans: I know how smart you are, and that you will see through the Majority’s partisan efforts.  

And I know how powerful you are as a voting bloc… I have seen it and felt it.  

It is important for everyone to participate in the electoral process, including veterans.  And I encourage my colleagues to vote NO on this subpoena resolution. With that, yield back.”

There’s one party in America that encourages the vote. There’s one who does all they can to suppress it. What side do you want to be on?

[eugenedebs1920]

F*ck Russia and the dictator they rode in on!!! Who the f*ck do they think they are!? Russia isn’t America, they are not citizens, they are entitled to d*ck from our Constitution!! Good for Google! This is what happens when a cosplay authoritarian like Trump emboldens villains to think they have ANY place in our society, our businesses, or our country as a whole. Kinda like the new rise of nazism here. Given a green light by Trump’s racist and incendiary rhetoric and behavior, to the point they’re gathering in downtown Memphis sporting swasticas as spewing hate speech. Fascism will not be tolerated in America. Nazism will not be tolerated in America. Totalitarianism will not be tolerated in America. Hate will not be tolerated in America.

One of the handful of absolute atrocities Trump perpetrated against our country is the notion that we have relinquished our principles. Principles that once held the world accountable for human rights violations, unchecked aggression against smaller states who can’t defend themselves, and behavior unbecoming of a world power. The image that Trump portrayed to the world that we are isolationist, immoral, corrupt peoples in America is absolutely false.

We have slipped up now and then but for the most part we are a just and kind society. We will help those who need it. Stand up for those who aren’t capable of defending themselves. Stand up against foes who threaten and intimidate the world. Despite our mistakes we believe in freedom, Dignity and respect.

That’s why we need to show the world who we are. Reintroduce ourselves as the superpower with the moral high ground. That we are the UNITED states of America! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[eugenedebs1920]

Get ready for it folks. Trump is already sowing the seeds of doubt into the results. He WILL, claim he won despite the numbers. He WILL, contest the results no matter how much he is beat. He WILL, claim there’s fraud and it’s all rigged. He WILL, try to get his MAGA cronies to join in the affair. He WILL, incite violence. He WILL, say that immigrants and noncitizens votes. He WILL, claim voting machines didn’t count properly. He WILL lose.

I mean. Look at that stable genius! He’s a f*ckin train wreck! We must come out in droves and vote this psycho out of our damn lives! Who isn’t sick of seeing and hearing this guy!? Honestly! It will be lie after lie after lie when he loses but. That’s Donald Trump for ya.

Get out and vote for Kamala Harris. Get out and vote for your future, for the planet, for freedom, for a better tomorrow.

[eugenedebs1920]

Maya Angelou said, “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”. We’ve all heard the play school song, ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me’. That may be true as someone of flesh and blood but democracy is different.

Democracy is so powerful yet so fragile. So immense yet delicate. Democracy works when we participate, when we are engaged, when we believe. In a way it’s like faith. You have faith that those representing your ideas that they will keep their campaign pledges. Faith that once the votes are tallied and counted, one candidate will go to Washington as your voice, the other will concede defeat, figuratively shake hands (sometimes literally, but less and less these days) wish their opponent well, and despite which side won, the whole thing will continue on repeat. Simple in its complexity.

This has been the process for about 239-240 years. Then. Donald Trump.

Before a single vote was cast in 2016 Trump was already claiming it was rigged, that democrats cheat. This had never been a phrase I had heard so casually thrown around my entire voting life, which this will be my eighth time casting a vote for the presidency (and I swear that vote stealing, useless Jill Stien spoiler has been on every f*ckin one! God! That hooch).

There was a level of dignity and respect, of honor and pride to the running for the Oval Office even more once elected to it. There have been candidates who lost for sighing and looking smug, candidates who lost for being too sweaty, candidates who lost because they couldn’t spell potato. (🤣 I almost spelled it wrong!)

Not so much anymore. When I heard Trump insinuate that Biden was using cocaine I just thought to myself, wow! This is the level of professionalism this has gotten to. It’s like one side is there for a game of cricket, the others there for wrestlemania 10000! Not that there’s anything wrong with wrestlemania. I watched that when I was 8. This is the most powerful job in America we’re talking about though. Potentially the most powerful job in the world! Now 80 year old guys are accusing other 80 some odd year old guys of snorting coke! Thats just a tiny fraction of the unbelievable, fictitious, crazy sh*t Trump says! You guys know! You’d have to be living on a deserted island to not hear this stuff!

Words matter though. These wild accusations that Trump and his sycophants throw around have real world consequences. There had NEVER, NOT EVEN ONCE been any evidence showing any numbers of voter fraud or noncitizen voting that would have even the slightest impact on the count totals. The Heritage Foundation. You know, The Heritage Foundation, same guys who push for a white Christian nationalist agenda in the dystopian nightmare known as project 2025. Those guys. The number I saw today was 84 accounts of potential fraud, from 2003-2023 were found out of 130 million votes investigated. These are the Heritage Foundations numbers. Yet half the damn country doubts that elections work! Half the damn country thinks the whole things rigged! Funny how that only became a thing when a malignant narcissist, two bit reality tv personality ran in 2016 and hasn’t stopped since. In the last year 230. Two hundred and thirty Republicans running for office, whether state legislatures or for Washington, they have made, without any evidence mind you, claims that their election was, or would be rigged. RIGGED! ITS ALL F*ckin rigged now! It’s f*ckin ridiculous!!!

The whole damn thing falls apart if no one believes the totals, if there’s not a peaceful transfer of power, if no one thinks it matters. Again! Funny. Because Trump seems to f* ckin love autocratic rule! It’s all manufactured, none of it’s real. Even the damn heritage e foundation knows there’s no fraud!

But because Trump has already sowed the seeds of doubt into the system they have begun to shoot their roots out, splitting and crumbling the strength that once was the foundation of our democracy. Our vote!

I wish I could just shake the other side and be like, snap out of it!! Look man! Look! They’re f*ckin with you!!! I figuratively try, but to no avail. They are dead set on what Trump says is true, which is hilariously ironic because there’s rarely anything he does say that is true.

Yet half the country nearly. Half the country.

Because of his words…

Sticks and stones thrown may break capital police officers bones, and words will tear down democracy……….

The damage that Trumps narcissism has done to our country is immense! Top specialist in public health and violence prevention, Dr. Bandy Lee, who has doctrines from both Harvard and Yale, and World Health Organization consultant felt that her and her colleagues had “a duty to warn” about the dangers Trump poses. She also describes the effects of Trump on society as “the Trump contagion”, that his mental illness is spread through the population like a virus, infecting the minds of those who follow him.

This is becoming increasingly true. The very bedrock of our democracy is under assault by average people who believe trumps lies. These people believe they’re protecting this country when in fact they are actively tearing down the pillars that hold it up.

Dr. Lee says, like a smaller group of people who wil become infected with psychosis from being around someone who’s mentally ill, the cure is the same as it would be for the Trump contagion. The sick person needs to be removed from the equation before those who were exposed can begin to heal.

Trump needs to be delegitimized by defeat this election so that America can heal from the pathogen he has spread.

Vote Kamala Harris for the sake of America

Our democratic constitutional republic has stood longer than any democracy in history. Longer than the Greeks or Romans of ancient times. One of the strongest reasons for this being the tripartite checks and balances between the branches. No single branch with significant power over another. What reptilian alien turtle variant Mitch McConnell did with the GOP’s mastering of minority rule is throw this balance off kilter. Trump’s stacking of the court with barely vetted, extreme right wing MAGA judges has created a constitutional crisis the likes America has never faced. The fact that 45 out of 46 presidents didn’t need absolutely immunity from crimes committed while in office is clear proof of this. Trumps MAGA justices have given a tyrant free rein to shred the limitations and ignore the granted freedoms of the document that has held this nation together for so long. This election is about the future. This election is about freedom. This election is about the sanctity of our Constitution. 🇺🇸
