Goddammit this was Obama’s moment and he seized it. A genuine “barn-burner” of a speech, and after the ashes have cooked from this terrible time, if there remain any history books or films that illuminate our moment, this will be one of those moments that endure. We all can draw courage from the well he has tapped. Now let’s kick some Nazi ass.
It was a superb speech. Just one thing bothered me: no mention at all of his Project 2025 which is a lot more than “concepts of one”? 900 pages in great detail which some of it is already in action by his “shadow government officials”. As good as it was the problem remains: race and being a woman. Totally disgraceful. This man is the scum of the earth and people are still voting for him because…he’s white. A racist, a bigot and a traitor.
There is just no fucking way this race is tied. When we clean their clock on November 5th, the madness will finally wane. Then we can get to work fixing the mess of the last 9 years.
Remember when Obama won in 2008 and it was such a done deal that they announced the winner at around 8:30 p.m.?! I hope and pray this is the same way, that there won't be weeks of recounts and lawsuits and bullsh**.
It boggles my mind that the worthless scribblers of the press continue to report that the race is within the margin of error. HELLO! Anybody out there?
I hope it's such a wipeout that when the networks sign on at 7:00 p.m. with their election coverage on November 5, they declare Kamala the winner at 7:02.
The MSM *must* report the race as close; otherwise, they can't justify their existence. They can't get anyone to click on them or read them. If VP Harris was 10 points ahead of Dumpy in the entire US, thevMSM would have nothing to talk about. So they gin up a neck-and-neck competition.
Dean Obeidallah(sp?) interviewed Don Lemon, formerly of CNN, a few weeks ago for his substack. Lemon said they were forbidden to call out Dumpy's obvious lies and incoherent ramblings. Otherwise it would give VP Harris too much good press.
Yeah, but there will be huge attempts by GOP to stop ECV certification in the states. Then it will go to the courts, and eventually SCOTUS. I'm still very nervous.
There are very very good lawyers working to stop the nonsense (such as Mark Elias from Democracy Docket). We need to win PA, MI, NV, NC and AZ so Georgia wonʻt matter. And win BIG.
National Guard is usually called up by governors. So I can just see it: some red governor calls them up. Now they can be "federalized," as happened in the Civil Rights Era to protect elementary school students, but not all NG members might feel inclined to follow the federal call. Can you see that case at this SCOTUS????
Let's not forget that the Heritage Foundation promised "a blood bath" if things didn't go their way. We'll be fighting this fight until the beginning of the year.
And perhaps find ways to REFOCUS ON REAL SHIT!!!! His and his goons’ crap is all that fills the airwaves.
What are we going to do with the reality that FL came close to being wiped off the map? This threat isn’t going to go away just because Milton died (or is still dying??). This is a viable, potentially constant state of things. I’m afraid we’ve screwed the pooch. But hey. Why give that any focus when we’ve got that fucking snake in the grass slithering through our lives in so many ways, that there no room for anything else.
I believe that without the Apprentice, America would not be where we are today with this human plague threatening to burn it all down. Fuck Mark Burnett and all his fucking shit he puts onto American airwaves.
Noel Casler worked on that show and knows all the backstory. He said the show was heavily edited (as Jeff said) and crafted for the illusory image of trump as a competent businessman. It was all contrived bullshit (as Jeff said). Then there is the rumored tape of trump using the N word. Casler said it exists.
Casler's interviews on YouTube are eye-opening. His comments about Dumpy's GI problems and the stink around him surprized me. I thought he had to be kidding or pursuing a vendetta. Then came the comments about Dumpy passing gas during his trial and I realized that his comments were true.
Well I think there's a vast well of monsters that were born with the tea party. Wingnut for one, won't talk about gaetz, cruz, both scott's, the list is endless. DonOld just found a way to grift, con, lie, feed his narcissistic ego and commit treason. If the magats are indocterated, they will follow anyone spewing the same redderick.
Mark Burnett was probably making big bucks off the show and never realized Trump would use it as a stepping stone to politics. Burnett's failing was hiding the outtakes at a time it might have actually done some good.
For some reason, Burnett is really loyal to Dumpy. It might be blackmail, or the money Dumpy made him with the show, or a religious thing, or some sort of hero worship. Of course he's going to hide all the tape.
AITA for feeling zero empathy toward MAGAs stuck between Scylla & Charybdis? That herd is destructive to everyone — not just themselves — and as far as I’m concerned it can’t be culled fast enough.
I agree about not having sympathy for the MAGA dipshit, but at the same time this guy is causing his family no end of anguish. they're his collateral damage
No matter what, these MAGA dipshits will never learn. How this lying, heartless shitweasel keeps pulling it off while people who desperately need help would rather lick his crusty boots than accept aid. Again, the media could be a big help here but they rather glorify a 300 lb. cancer than tell it like it really is.
My daughter and her MAGA husband didn’t evacuate Tampa, and while they’re OK she sent me a picture of the river where their street used to be with an alligator floating past third mailbox. She said seeing that made it her 5th heart attack in 24 hours. I don’t bother telling her how worried I am — not just about hurricanes but her lack of abortion access and other things my mind makes up because MAGA has fucked the state up so thoroughly.
We already went a year without talking after she married this guy, and that’s worse. So I completely understand the frustration of sane family members dealing with the effects of their loved ones being blinded by lies.
Listening to Obama's speech made me realize how much I miss him. Not only a gifted orator but he quickly cuts to the chase without the petty meanness and vindictiveness that is inherent to MAGA. Obama is right, Chump hasn't stopped whining for 9 years. It's time for all of us to make him STFU.
DJT transformed the GOP into the G.O.ME!! A bunch of selfish anti-government and social media morons who think the whole universe should revolve around them, and their petty grievances.
The MAGA cult loves the message of Trump that it's not your fault that your life is imperfect, you don't have to take responsibility for anything, it's all THEIR fault. The Republican political class will just do whatever they have to to keep the support of the MAGAs. Sad that so many MAGAs already subscribe to a religion that puts all the power outside of themselves and were easy pickings for a demagogue who said he alone could fix it.
Former President Obama is an absolute treasure! And he speaks the truth about DonOld. I just don’t know where we will find the number of trained de-programmers for his cult members after the election. Trump has ruined so many lives. I personally can’t wait until he’s behind bars!
In the hall of shame of stupid press questions, that one deserves a giant gilt frame. Why in the world would President Biden possibly be calling Spanky McBonespurs??
Right? If Biden called T***p and asked him to knock off the lies so people can get the help they need, you know the whiny little bitch would immediately take to Truth Social and scream in all caps "He's trying to take away my free speech".
Man, these cultists are hurting themselves and for what? 😳 Dump is so evil...I hate him with all my being. Exactly what did Dump do to help anyone during his Presidency? NOT A DAMN THING! And....Obama...what a great man. I need this election to be done, over, and finished so we can start restoring the country and get ready for the next wave of fascism that is bound to come up. #TGIF
At my age, time usually flies by, but waiting for this election seems like forever. My level of anxiety creeps up and backs down every time I read something new. I feel like I’m on a roller coaster, and I hate roller coasters.
I think you're right. I never had BP problems unti the spring of 2016. I had several Muslim friends and I as worried for them, as well as just being angry about Dumpy all the time. It's starting to creep back down now, these last few months.
Sharon, me too. Today I unsubscribed from a lot of political blogs (not Jeffʻs of course!!). Do want you can to get out the vote, but otherwise I think itʻs time to disengage from the daily news blasts. Also, there are lots of "fake" polls being taken that are not reliable, so ignore the polls too.
I’m old enough to remember when a private citizen holding private conversations with a russkie president would have caused a rectal exam from the FBI and weeks of congressional investigations. I can’t wait for this galactic scale traitor to be gone from our politics forever
You bet it is. I remember the stink about 15 years ago when Jesse Jackson went to the middle east on his own to try to negotiate for hostages, and you'd think he'd dropped a nuke on somebody or started WWIII. But remember, Dumpy's a Very Special Boy and the rules don't apply to him.
Musk is the new type of billionaire,a greedy corporate raider who used others ideas and innovations and government subsides and deregulation to run his pyramid schemes on investors, to line his own pockets.
Yes Bruce he’s a douchebag of the low rung of a ladder, I had X for a bit because our little neighbor had an account of dogs and kittens. I quit about two months ago and haven’t missed it and surely don’t want to see him again ever!
Now I know why the MAGA cultists want a dictator to rule over them. These people are dumb as dirt. They’re too stupid to tie their own shoes. They NEED someone to take care of them, to think for them since they’ve given up all rational thought. You might almost feel sorry for them. Almost. If Trump ruled, when all their freedoms are gone, they won’t even notice. Freedom...schmeedom! Who needs it? Fuck these people and fuck Trump!
And when they give up their freedoms to Trump, and their lives still suck, they'll be going after whatever scapegoat Trump points to as the reason their lives still suck.
What freedoms will they give up? Already white so white privilege. How many of them plan their families? You get pregnant, you make do. Plus one more government assistance baby. Healthcare? Many are on free healthcare - Medicaid. Student loan assistance? Doubtful when you didn't even graduate from high school. How many of the women even have good paying jobs with a future, muchless concerned with discrimination in the workplace. The women are used to being controlled by either daddy or their husband. But most importantly, they believe that Trump will keep them away from the evil, scary immigrants.
Damn near fell out of my chair at work when I heard the clip of Obama talking about changing diapers. And Dark Brandon not giving one atom of a fuck for the media is my spirit animal. I absolutely love it. Now that he's no longer running, all those worthless reporters are getting the angry, surly Irishman I have heard so much about. And it's glorious!
I have a lot to say, but it’s a beautiful day, I’m having a cup of coffee, and will begin my GOTV. That guy? I picture him sitting in his BarcaLounger in his house, remote control still in his hands, windows blown out, roof flapping in the wind, water flowing down his walls, trying to tune in to Newsmax or Fox so he can be outraged. Cable news is to blame for a lot of willful ignorance. His family should sue the news this guy was watching.
Goddammit this was Obama’s moment and he seized it. A genuine “barn-burner” of a speech, and after the ashes have cooked from this terrible time, if there remain any history books or films that illuminate our moment, this will be one of those moments that endure.

Polls are BS
I have to keep telling myself that.
Don’t tease me like that.
We need huge numbers so nobody should announce state results until polls on the west coast close. We need the Blue Tsunami!
That’s one reason we have to vote in big numbers. He will try to tie it up in courts but at least we will have the results.
Yeah, but there will be huge attempts by GOP to stop ECV certification in the states. Then it will go to the courts, and eventually SCOTUS. I'm still very nervous.
There are very very good lawyers working to stop the nonsense (such as Mark Elias from Democracy Docket). We need to win PA, MI, NV, NC and AZ so Georgia wonʻt matter. And win BIG.
I'm with you Betsy
One can hope Betsy, knowing the players in this game, the party of chaos isn’t going away without a large measure of violence!!
Sad but probably true. I hope the National Guard is on alert.
They know what to expect this time🎯💙✌🏻
National Guard is usually called up by governors. So I can just see it: some red governor calls them up. Now they can be "federalized," as happened in the Civil Rights Era to protect elementary school students, but not all NG members might feel inclined to follow the federal call. Can you see that case at this SCOTUS????
That cuts both ways. (Are you listening, MAGATs!😡😡)
🎯💙✌🏻
Exactly, but it will only wane if we clean their clocks. Anything less won’t put an end to it as we discovered after the 2020 election.
2020 was a trial run, with a useful idiot, except more of the same!!
I absolutely believe this also!!!!!
As do I.
Thank you for your strong, believing words, sir!!!! I just finished reading TPM and it was kinda depressing, to be honest.
American Freakshow, the Nina Burleigh Substack is definitely a good read, I’d recommend reading it asap!!
I'll give it a whirl.
Everyone should remember that our media has 5 corporate owners… it’s only corporate truth, hardly reality!
Let's not forget that the Heritage Foundation promised "a blood bath" if things didn't go their way. We'll be fighting this fight until the beginning of the year.
And perhaps find ways to REFOCUS ON REAL SHIT!!!! His and his goons’ crap is all that fills the airwaves.

Why give that any focus when we’ve got that fucking snake in the grass slithering through our lives in so many ways, that there no room for anything else.
The real snake in Florida is sitting in the Governor’s Mansion…eating pudding with his fingers.
Polishing his go go boots.
God. What a perfect image of the piece of slime.
We thought that when we elected Joe Biden in 2020. Still no consequences for Donnie since 1/2021
I need a death certificate.
This is what JV Last of The Bulwark says about the polls. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-polls-are-not-underestimating
I believe that without the Apprentice, America would not be where we are today with this human plague threatening to burn it all down. Fuck Mark Burnett and all his fucking shit he puts onto American airwaves.
Agree that the Apprentice was the yellow brick road for Trump.
Noel Casler worked on that show and knows all the backstory. He said the show was heavily edited (as Jeff said) and crafted for the illusory image of trump as a competent businessman. It was all contrived bullshit (as Jeff said). Then there is the rumored tape of trump using the N word. Casler said it exists.
I follow Casler on threads….good info daily on the lying a-hole!
Noel has the goods on the mewling wastrel, and is an exceptional read on Substack HI2!!
Yep, I listen to his podcast and subscribe to his Substack
Casler's interviews on YouTube are eye-opening. His comments about Dumpy's GI problems and the stink around him surprized me. I thought he had to be kidding or pursuing a vendetta. Then came the comments about Dumpy passing gas during his trial and I realized that his comments were true.

Mark Burnett was probably making big bucks off the show and never realized Trump would use it as a stepping stone to politics. Burnett's failing was hiding the outtakes at a time it might have actually done some good.
They both made huge money off the show. Noel Casler said the product placement money was big and trump got half of that
It's the fail of all reality shows. Nothing is real.
For some reason, Burnett is really loyal to Dumpy. It might be blackmail, or the money Dumpy made him with the show, or a religious thing, or some sort of hero worship. Of course he's going to hide all the tape.
Here,here,this BS 'lying, cheating,stealing and backstabbing' for fun and prizes is rubbish, it's an insult to who and what Americans really are.
I say vote for Kamara, or Klama, or do what those darling little girls at the Dem Convention said comma la. Just do it that’s my point today.
I watched about ten minutes of Tfg's crappy show. Like all reality shows, not worth wasting brain cells
But it was popular. That helps explain the mindset behind MAGA
AITA for feeling zero empathy toward MAGAs stuck between Scylla & Charybdis? That herd is destructive to everyone — not just themselves — and as far as I’m concerned it can’t be culled fast enough.
I agree about not having sympathy for the MAGA dipshit, but at the same time this guy is causing his family no end of anguish. they're his collateral damage
Seems like a casualty of war in a sad sense. His family is trying to help.
Old trope: you can't live other peoples' lives for them.
Eugenics is embraced by many members of the GOP Jeff IIRC!!
No, you’re not the asshole. As much as I feel for anyone caught in such a situation, they’ll go right back to being Dump’s drooling sycophants.
No matter what, these MAGA dipshits will never learn. How this lying, heartless shitweasel keeps pulling it off while people who desperately need help would rather lick his crusty boots than accept aid. Again, the media could be a big help here but they rather glorify a 300 lb. cancer than tell it like it really is.
Exactly Kay-EI!
Great mythology reference! Also in The Police's song Wrapped Around Your Finger
Speaking of, check out KAOS on Netflix. A very interesting and appropriately dark take on Zeus and the gods. Jeff Goldblum is fabulous.
5 stars. Canʻt wait for Season 2.
Thanks Zija!
JoJo From Jerz said it well yesterday: "Trusting trump with your life is suicide"
My daughter and her MAGA husband didn’t evacuate Tampa, and while they’re OK she sent me a picture of the river where their street used to be with an alligator floating past third mailbox. She said seeing that made it her 5th heart attack in 24 hours.

Unbelievable - so sorry to hear!
I know others are dealing with much worse — I guess I was defending my harsh stance. MAGA has made my family miserable too, just in different ways.

Me too. I attended an Obama rally in 2007 and was filled with hope.
Former President Obama is an absolute treasure! And he speaks the truth about DonOld. I just don’t know where we will find the number of trained de-programmers for his cult members after the election. Trump has ruined so many lives. I personally can’t wait until he’s behind bars!
I've wondered that, too... we're gonna need a lot of counselors and therapists. 🙄
Therapy depends on developing insight. They have no willingness for that. Deprogrammers needed.
Those of us who are not part of the cult, but are emotionally and even physically threatened by it every day are the ones with PTSD.
I have PTSD ‼️
Deb, join the club! This safe kind group helps keep me from being overwhelmed. And TCM.
You have to acknowledge there's a problem and want to change to get anything out of therapy. Doubt if many MAGAts are willing to do that.
Truer words… Pamela!!

I have had low blood pressure all my life. Suddenly, I'm on BP meds. WTF? I'm sure it's from all the angst waiting to see if America will survive.

I believe it's a violation of the 'Logan Act'.
You bet it is. I remember the stink about 15 years ago when Jesse Jackson went to the middle east on his own to try to negotiate for hostages, and you'd think he'd dropped a nuke on somebody or started WWIII. But remember, Dumpy's a Very Special Boy and the rules don't apply to him.

Exactly!
1. FEMA won’t take your house but Lord of the McFries (hat tip to David @blue1959) and Project 2025 will fuck up your life.

Lord of the McFries. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I believe E-Con is charging Ukraine about $20 mil a month for use of Starlink.
Actually, I saw the Pentagon pays for it (at least since last year), but yes it’s millions.
Yes,but Elon claims it's 'philanthropy' when it's convenient for him...
With every day that goes by, Musk shows what a piece of shit he is and probably always was. Now it's out in the open.

I’m thinking most people reached that conclusion long ago HIdeuceth!!
Rather starve than question Donny Gaslight? Darwin bats last.
Now I know why the MAGA cultists want a dictator to rule over them. These people are dumb as dirt. They’re too stupid to tie their own shoes. They NEED someone to take care of them, to think for them since they’ve given up all rational thought. You might almost feel sorry for them. Almost. If Trump ruled, when all their freedoms are gone, they won’t even notice. Freedom...schmeedom! Who needs it? Fuck these people and fuck Trump!
Thats a great point...they are so stupid, they need a dictator to tell them what to do. 🤦♀️
And they pick a “leader” who has probably never tied his own shoes. Sad.
Mousolini and Stalin did the same thing to his people.
And when they give up their freedoms to Trump, and their lives still suck, they'll be going after whatever scapegoat Trump points to as the reason their lives still suck.
What freedoms will they give up? Already white so white privilege. How many of them plan their families? You get pregnant, you make do. Plus one more government assistance baby. Healthcare? Many are on free healthcare - Medicaid. Student loan assistance? Doubtful when you didn't even graduate from high school.
