I hope he destroys her. The phony hand gestures and taking ten minutes saying nothing from Harris is getting on my nerves. Turn the page? Harris has been in the White House for 4 years. Yes we want to turn the page.

In Allentown, home to tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans, Harris will hold a rally with rapper Fat Joe. Later, she's visiting a Puerto Rican restaurant in Reading with Ocasio-Cortez. Both Fat Joe, whose real name is Joseph Cartagena, and Ocasio-Cortez, are of Puerto Rican heritage.

The stops come after a comic at a recent Donald Trump rally suggested that Puerto Rico was a “floating island of garbage.”

I am hoping the results show an overwhelming victory tomorrow for Harris that is 'too big to rig'.

But if she doesn't, AOC might be a good example of what went wrong, not to jinx things.

AOC , like Sanders, always tried to move away from exploiting identitarianism and emphasizing class and economic issues from a democratic socialist perspective, which I align with.

But forced by the DNC, she is having to lean into her identity as Boricua morena to support the Harris campaign.

I had hoped it would be the other way around.

Please let this Dog and Pony show conclude swiftly so we don't have to read about US politics anymore.

Uugh.

careened through a felony trial,

Trump has too much support from the US establishment to be jailed for his crimes, two-tier justice at its worst.

Given Trump's obesity and obviously declining mental, emotional and physical health, it's likely he might not last long after the election, so he's be better off in jail with less stress. If he wins he'll probably spend most of his time playing golf at one of his global golf courses, on the taxpayer's dollars. Given Trump's rapidly declining mental emotional and physical health he might not last long after the election, meaning a vote for Trump could be a vote for his VP Vance, or whatever he might change his name to, with Vance in charge look for Musk/Thiel and other billionaires whose allegiance to China and Russia might be more than to the US, to gain increasing control over media and the nation, unless of course Musk etal can continue to get more contracts and be further subsidized by the US government.If Trump wins then grifters will grift even more, pleasing conmen and oil/gas barons around the globe.

Wow, just look at that picture - Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggert, Benny Hinn, and Kenneth Copeland all rolled into one orange demented old fool...

Kessler said that, for a long time, he didn’t vote, thinking the country “would vote for the correct candidate."

That could sum up the majority of politics in the entire world. And look where it's led us.

I’ll be glad to see the back of Harris.

Harris is the only one who can save us from Putin's puppet. Not only does America's safety depend on the outcome but so does Ukraine's, Taiwan's and a few other allied countries. Putin or the CCP won't stop after they get what they want and I'd rather not be forced to learn Mandarin or Russian

Trump has too much support from the US establishment

None, zero from the establishment, they are the ones unconstitutionally trying to jail him

to be jailed for his crimes, two-tier justice at its worst.

The Dems and the swamp have tried to hit this guy with everything except with an Iron.

Given Trump's obesity and obviously declining mental, emotional and physical health,

Dems are still telling that lie? Why? Not helping them.

it's likely he might not last long after the election, so he's be better off in jail with less stress.

When the left talk like this, it’s panicky time

If he wins he'll probably spend most of his time playing golf at one of his global golf courses, on the taxpayer's dollars. Given Trump's rapidly declining mental emotional and physical health he might not last long after the election, meaning a vote for Trump could be a vote for his VP Vance, or whatever he might change his name to,

Why do you repeat yourself constantly within one sentence?

with Vance in charge look for Musk/Thiel and other billionaires whose allegiance to China and Russia might be more than to the US, to gain increasing control over media and the nation, unless of course Musk etal can continue to get more contracts and be further subsidized by the US government.

I think it’s the other way around if Kamala gets in they seem to deeply like China for some odd reason

If Trump wins then grifters will grift even more, pleasing conmen and oil/gas barons around the globe.

Now on that one, I pray that he fracks the heck out of the ground and gets as much fossil fuel as he can muster!

Regressive to the extreme along with lotteries for the desperate, crypto, and the Citizens United decision on 'corporate speech'.

But Polymarket has been quoted here by the MAGA faithful as showing a good outcome for Trump and if that is an indicator it is crashing for Trump.

I'm looking forward to Harris/Walz in Office. They've been packing the rallies, meeting people face to face, working the phone banking, etc. Harris has come a long way in such a short time. I wish them the best. I hope no more dancing and meltdowns by Trump. He's definitely no dancer.

Fox News? Someone hasn't been keeping up...

"Former President Trump on Sunday took aim at Fox News for airing what the GOP presidential nominee sees as too much coverage devoted to the Democrats, just a few days before the election.

“FoxNews keeps putting on Democrat ads, as part of their news program. Their soundbites are almost all of Harris and her Democrat friends, all of whom are on the shows,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Sunday morning.

“FOX NEWS IS NOT OUR FRIEND. It’s crazy!” Trump continued."

While it's going to be close, it is increasingly likely that Harris will win it.

But win or lose, the Trump clown show has several years left in it to keep us entertained.

“Oct bombshell”?  How about a Nov one…

"Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein called Donald Trump his “closest friend” in the latest recordings released by author Michael Wolff.

Wolff began releasing tapes on Thursday via The Daily Beast from interviews recorded as he wrote his book, “Fire and Fury.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/jeffrey-epstein-describes-donald-trump-000845379.html

Not that we’re that surprised…

I sense that a whole lot of voters, especially females, went “Echhhh”...and will now be voting for Harris…

Sinking, sinking, sunk…

"A savvy camera operator fact checked Donald Trump live.

During his rally in Greensboro, N.C. on Saturday night, Donald Trump bragged, “We have had the biggest rallies in the history of any country, and every rally is full. You do not have any seats that are empty. You did not have anything.”

But immediately after that comment, a cameraman for NTD.com smartly panned the stadium, zooming in on sections of empty seats and people exiting the arena."

tomorrow is the last day on this site for many of the repetitive usernames of the last 4 years. See ya!

Harris will win. The only repetition will be you whining about ballot boxes again for 4 years.

So with our MAGA-friends deep into defeat and coping, let me ask again...

You have shared your view numerous times that it was "lawful" for VP Pence to refuse to certify the 2020 election results from the states, and that he should have done so - so they could be returned to the states and re-certified with fake elector lists...

Irrespective of the fact that the author of this view, John Eastman, admitted to Pence's legal counsel that this would be a violation of federal law...

Why is it now NOT legal for VP Harris to do so?

Anyone who welcomes punitive tariffs that would spark a global trade war, driving up prices by limiting supplies of goods, might want to experiment with reading.

Too old and too feeble to last much longer if he's elected, earth forbid

This is an added worry if he wins.

He’s clearly in worse shape than Biden was in 2020. He’s always been whimsical and disordered. Adding senility to that mix isn’t a recipe for stability.

In bad physical shape too. Watching him try to get into that truck was disturbing. He was close to ending his candidacy right there.

All very tight though. Both sides claiming positive late signs.

A final hit piece on Trump right to the very end, and the attempts at alchemy with Harris has been noteworthy! Minnasama otsukaresama.

It’s finally up to the American people to decide now if any of it worked.

Do your thing America. We all wait with bated breath!

He’s clearly in worse shape than Biden was in 2020.

Not even remotely close

He’s always been whimsical and disordered. Adding senility to that mix isn’t a recipe for stability. 

With good and valid reason

In bad physical shape too. Watching him try to get into that truck was disturbing.

It is a high truck convoy, larger and higher than the trucks in Europe, so if you’re not used to getting in them, everyone will look awkward, regardless of how fit you might be.

He was close to ending his candidacy right there.

No, not at all

All very tight though. Both sides claiming positive late signs.

True

-9 ( +1 / -10 )

Trump for the win. He will revive America's moribund economy and restore pride. Harris is more of the same- overspending by the government and limits on free speech. Plus, I can't see her and her querilous voice facing down Xi or Kim or Putin. They will have a license to thrive under a Harris presidency?

-6 ( +4 / -10 )

If Trump wins can he survive the next five years? An old man already.

6 ( +9 / -3 )

Why is it now NOT legal for VP Harris to do so?

because Congress passed a law forcing it, and limiting the VP power on this, at Democrat request.

because they found weak Mike could have done it at that time, so they passed a law.

A law that forces Kamala to certify her own defeat. How soul crushing that will be.

-9 ( +2 / -11 )

Nah, Harris is a nice lady but totally indecisive and as a president would be a perfect example of a puppet just being an announcer of decisions made for by others behind the scenes

Who are the ‘others’ here?

I once heard a description of Trump in power as like a couch cushion - he bears impression of the the last person to sit on him.

To be fair, I don’t think Harris is particularly convincing when she talks about foreign affairs either.

Harris and Trump make furious final push before Election Day

And as a last addition before tomorrow, my hope is that Harris in her magnanimous and forward looking acceptance of her victory; will reach out to the Red MAGA states and all of their social needs and say:

I want to make it easier for you and now I have the means to do so.

You need a radical expansion of the ACA and moving toward universal health care.

I will move forward with an expanded social safety net to support those affected by downsizing and automation.

MAGA, you are not forgotten!

Well, that is my alt-history for the day after tomorrow.
