TFG is not back on Twitter, yet. The bad guys are as bad as ever, but there are fewer of them every year, no matter how hard they try to infect others. Meanwhile our increasing supply of good guys is on all the cases. It’s nice having a hundred million friends here in the US and billions around the world. Now, if we just show up from now until #Roevember 8—to vote and to outnumber the election terrorists…
Musk at Twitter
No, as I said, he hasn’t let TFG back on, yet. Rumor had it that it would happen tomorrow, Monday, but no.
Sorry for this, folks, but we need to see the graph.
Attempted Assassination
No, it wasn’t just an “attack” with a hammer. It cracked Paul Pelosi’s skull. The beef is attempted murder, among other charges.
I am omitting the traffic claiming that the attack was faked, joking about it, trying to blame it on Antifa, claiming that it was because Democrats are “soft on crime”, and saying that the Pelosis had it coming. Haters make themselves into remarkably vicious people. “Incredible”, some call it. Well, believe them when they show you who they are.
A third of Republicans don’t buy in the stolen election narrative. Out of this group some won’t be as inclined to reflexively check the box for an election denier. Again, it doesn’t have to be a lot of them, possibly only thousands will be the margin of victory in many races.
Finally, don’t underestimate the outrage following this incident that will be ignited in casual voters who sometimes sit out midterms. Independents and disengaged Democrats who need to feel the passion to stand in line at the polls are going to be mobilized by this incident.
One can certainly hope so.
Elections
Hundreds of Big Liars are running for office. Vote them all out wherever possible. If you can’t vote them out, be prepared.
Arizona Wrong-Wingers hate, hate, hate being under the “woke” Ninth Circuit.

The Environment
We just heard that business as usual would be disastrous. It’s good to know that it is no longer business as usual.
Yes, that’s what I said years ago, but these people have better numbers. Estimated investment required: $62 trillion. Payback: Six years. There are no other legitimate businesses with that kind of profit. You might think that “run government like a business” Republicans would be for such amazing gains, but no, they care only about campaign donations, not the public good.
Talk to your city—government, business, unions, activists, the local Democratic Party, the media…
