Here in Europe now we are of course following the US election circus and most people now expect a Trumpistan for the next 4 years – or maybe less. Vance time looks even more horrible!
Theree is not much hope I’m kind of happy that this whole thing doesn’t touch me too much anymore. At 81 years politics is no longer that interesting.
I feel really happy that after my many USA trips I had the chance to take my new love (we were both already over 60 years …) to some interesting place around 15 years agos:
Florida.
NYC and Niagara Falls,
SF, Death Valley, Vegas and the South West.
Nashville (family visit), Charleston, Savannah and down to the Space Center.
Nobody, not even Trump, can take these fond memories away from us!
There really isn’t a good reason, except for fear of horrible disappointment, to assume Drumpf will win. It’s a lock he will whine and try to stir up violence when he likely loses…as he, in terms of actual votes, he always does.
His people are increasingly desperate. Notable that his campaign’s western Penna field marshal is an actual Nazi.
Sadly so. Minor (arguably) violence already from Trumpoids and the like.
Deb
I have no doubt Kamala will win the vote. And I have equally no doubt that Trump and his band of enablers, sycophants, and legal toadies will attempt every trick in the book to flood the system with misinformation, warrantless legal maneuvers, and threats of violence every step of the way. I loathe this timeline!
Deb, Trump told the audience at one of his recent rallies that he should have NEVER left the White House! If he gets in this time, Trump will never leave!
Jeff, do you buy your own appliances for a rental? Or maybe it is a condo?
I can’t watch a minute of the returns. A replay of 2016 would kill me.
Just back from DC where stores were boarding up. I guess they think if his thugs can’t storm government buildings, they will wreak havoc where they can.
It doesn’t look good …
Putin’s honchos have already been drinking lots of Vodka and Krim champagne.
Now we’ll really be living in interesting times.
PS:
The Chinese rulers must also be happy – but maybe not if Trump really raises taxes for foreign products?

Wolf, everyone here is sitting on the edge of their seats watching Democracy in action. But, will it be for the last time in America?

Todd, today’s WALL STREET JOURNAL reports that the Trump rallies for the past week have been ill attended.
Fingers crossed.
Jerry, I’m playing Carly Simon’s “Anticipation.” Diane and I are hoping for a Kamala win, but there might be some violence that goes along with it.
Sadly so. Minor (arguably) violence already from Trumpoids and the like.

Deb, there must be a kinder, gentler timeline where Kamala wins and Trump graciously accepts defeat. But, that ain’t here!
Trump couldn’t be gracious about anything even if it was dipped in 18-karat gold and presented with a lifetime supply of McDonalds cheeseburgers.
Deb, Trump told the audience at one of his recent rallies that he should have NEVER left the White House! If he gets in this time, Trump will never leave!
In the event he is somehow elected, I suspect he’ll leave feet first within a year or so. Vance might help, if he has to.
Trump will never leave!
Well, as long as he’s alive …
Exactly. His diet alone will mess him over soon enough.
Todd, not only Trump’s “diet” is dangerous, but his lack of sleep has to be problematic.
Wolf, this may be the last free and fair Election in the U.S.!
After Election Day 8 years ago, I will not count my chickens, but I expect him to lose. Otherwise, as Bill Crider so often said, we’re doomed, doomed.
In anticipation, however, Jackie bought herself a new refrigerator today, to be delivered tomorrow.
Gotta keep stimulating the economy, right, George?
Jeff, the Economy always needs stimulation! Congratulations to you and Jackie on your new fridge!

Patti, our worst fears have been realized! Trump and his thugs are back in the White House. Bad times ahead!

Wolf, all the enemies of the United States are celebrating.
