I figure the farmers ought to apologize, publicly for voting for Drumpf before they get any more help.

It all goes to agribusiness like Archer Daniels Midland anyway. Independent owner operatos are getting squezed out by the economies of scale of the big boys.

Farmers don't own me a fucking apology. We need to unite all of us. Let those who have never sinned throw the first stone. We all of us own it! How many hours did you spend online arguing yourself blue distracted playing into the oligarchs and corporations' hand to divide us. We jumped into the fray. Hate ran like a forest fire.

We were all fools. We were all disabused. But now we are a different people. This crisis as with all such events forced upon the people of this country a level of maturation where we have been previously stalled. Where we previously saw our enemy, we now see our fellow countrymen and where we saw nothing in common, we see we have more in common than not by a mile!

We see each other and see it is our diversity that makes us magnificent. A diverse people with shared values is formidable and can accomplish great things for our children. There is no fucking stopping us now -- unless we stop ourselves and issue calls for apologies. Give me break. Find something to do. www.indivisible.org

Have you talked to a Trump supporter in person? They definitely don’t see what you and I see. They see evil democrats destroying their way of life with all this diversity.

I hold and cherish and protect their right to vote and believe as they see fit as much as I do mine and yours. I also ignore them so I can focus on what needs to be done by every single one of us to right this ship for it takes undivided focus.

And yes -- I have spoken with Trump supporters in person. Thank you for inquiring. But, as of perhaps a year or two now I always sign off with "you might be right" it shuts them up and lets me move on and distance myself from what is nothing short of hallucination on their part.

I've even had one almost run me down along with other protestors peacefully standing in front of Town Hall in a small town south of Boston on a sunny day -- aimed directly at us passing alongside so close one small move would have resulted in loss of life and limb -- at a high speed.

I've given them a decade before shifting my focus to what I can do about it. Volunteering at the polls. Protesting. Postcard and signature gatherings. And looking out for those in my community who may need a ride or company as they fearfully exercise their right to vote.

So, today I'm too busy committed to not allowing the mess we adults made of this world fall into the hands of our innocent children. I am most definitely distracted and not stuck in the mud focusing on Trump supporters. Not at all.

Stay calm! Carry on! Unite! Engage! Prevail! No one is coming to save us. We are the "one" we have been looking for.

I really do hate feeling like this, but I couldn’t care less what happens to any one of the 77,302,580 ignorant, brainwashed, misogynistic, racist bigots who put us here. That includes my brother and his family too. They are totally blinded by this mind numbing brain destroying religion of evangelical Christianity and their southern heritage. Our only hope for this world is if reality slaps them all in the face hard enough to wake them up, because there is no talking or reasoning with anyone programmed to believe that nothing is more important than what their preacher says god said. This time their god said evil incarnate was sent to be their messiah, and they’ll burn the world to the ground if that’s what Trump wants.

I am of the mind we will never succeed unless we do a self-examination and own what has happened. Each of us participated. We allowed ourselves to be divided. Score one for our enemy who invested and is still investing trillions to set little fires everywhere for with not one of us can say they did not succumb to and enter the fray.

But take heart for this huge investment also reveals our enemy's flank and deepest fear. They fear a united front. We are in the majority. We are united. We have met each other on the street and see the magnificence in how much we share in common. Focus on joining and being part of one nation united.

It requires much of us including resisting the urge to doom scroll and the 24/7 focus on the blue screen -- another factor that comes with the technology -- built into the framework to keep us divided and alone in despair -- it only further distracts us.

Resist! Find your tribe! Fill your calendar! Each one of us is needed but only effective if we surrender to being part of the greater whole. Unite! www.indivisible.org

Hot Damn!!! Now you’re talking. I’ll gather the wood and stoke the fire… oh we can’t do that? I was so hoping. Too Salemish?

Deborah Crawford's avatar

Not completely. Bloody Mary did it with Protestants.

Warren's avatar

John Calvin did itvwith Servetus. The Scots did it with any old crone who was a white witch.

Lyn M's avatar

Did she have a shillelagh?

That’s always a telltale sign of a witch.

Warren's avatar

In Scotland, it’s different. “If she weighs as much as a duck, she’s made of wood….and therefore—a witch!”

Deborah Crawford's avatar

That's encouragement to be overweight. No Ozempic sales there.

Lock up elon and then deport him to Antarctica

Warren's avatar

Too Merciful. Unless he gets locked up with the Kaiju. I want Godzilla to show Elon and his chainsaw what a real monster looks like.

Stephanie Gibbs Dunlap's avatar

Thrilling 👍 news✅ About time > Elon STOLE the U. S. Election! Is that - not a huge crime? And so far he has been destroying America, using the idiot trump to let him.

3 killings in a week and I’m sure it’s more the 3rd in FloriDUH

Michael Lindsay's avatar

If it’s federal his buddy will pardon him smh

Pamela Brightman's avatar

It should be at State level since Wisconsin will make the case.

Pamela Brightman's avatar

It would be the Governor of the State that would pardon, not federal government.

Deborah Crawford's avatar

Wisconsin. Hopefully State.

Phil's avatar

It's a state charge. Trump could only threaten them, as his usual SOP is. Maybe Musk's citizenship could be revoked, if convicted. Wouldn't that be a hoot!

Deborah Crawford's avatar

There was some discussion about him working illegally when he first arrived.

Lyn M's avatar

Let’s see his citizenship documents!

Tori lawson's avatar

Now we know why the child rapist is doing that bullshit Thursday night fake election crap because Elon is finally getting busted and so the child rapist is trying to come out in front of it. What a fucking moron both of them once a child rapist and just a fucking lunatic moron take your pick!

To Hell with Repubnocrats. A scurrilous, immoral, always self-serving racist bunch!

Oh silly Mel… your world is so small. Most Americans want to see him in prison and paying for all of the destruction he has created.🤗

Eric T Cat's avatar

There is more chance of me growing wings and flying to save on shoe leather than there ever is of Musk facing a court for election offences. He’ll simply buy his way out of trouble.

william logan's avatar

charge try,and prosecute..we kno pmurt will pardon, so let's charge pmurt as an accomplice.

Leigh Ann Wallace's avatar

As if fleeing is a valid reason to shoot someone. Murderous, incompetent fools.

Thank you for labeling Elon Musk correctly— a true pos!

When you discussed concerns about secure voting, I wanted to ask you a question in that regard … WHY AREN’T WE ALL SCREAMING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN 2024?

You see, I have not only been shocked and surprised by what I (and many others) have found to be the REAL cause of our corrupted 2024 Election, but also by the fact that EVERYBODY in the media and/or political realm has ignored the high-tech corruption that controlled that election! I can’t figure out whether it was ignored because of powerful Trump intimidation/corruption OR simply a massive lack of technical awareness. As you can see by clicking the link below my signature, I have a fairly broad technical background and, after studying the facts of that election, concluded that we could likely safeguard the vital upcoming Midterms with a few sheets of selectively placed tin foil!

Perhaps I’m getting ahead of myself and should back up a bit to provide excerpts from the studies conducted on the 2024 Election, in case you missed them. Start with a bit of “teaser” text and charts (For full text with graphics, read the attached PDF below).

According to New York Times reporting, on October 5—just before Starlink’s DTC activation—Musk texted a confidant:

“I’m feeling more optimistic after tonight. Tomorrow we unleash the anomaly in the matrix.”

Then, an hour later:

“This isn’t something on the chessboard, so they’ll be quite surprised. ‘Lasers’ from space.”

It read like a riddle. In hindsight, it was a blueprint.

This wasn’t a theory. It was a full-scale operation. A systemic digital occupation—clean, credentialed, and remote-controlled, TARGETED!

Specific to swing states and Texas—and, with the exception of Nevada, specific to Election Day voting.

This wasn’t a theory. It was a full-scale operation. A systemic digital occupation—clean, credentialed, and remote-controlled … BY SATELLITE!

The Outcome

Data that defied a clean sweep across all seven swing states. The fall of the Blue Wall. Eighty-eight counties flipped red—not one flipped blue. Every victory landed just above the threshold for an automatic recount.

Donald Trump outperformed expectations in down-ballot races, with margins never before seen—while Kamala Harris simultaneously underperformed in those same areas.

According to the co-founder of the Election Truth Alliance:

“If one were to accept these results at face value—Donald Trump, a 34-count convicted felon, supposedly outperformed Ronald Reagan. These anomalies didn’t happen nationwide. They didn’t even happen across all voting methods—this just doesn’t reflect human voting behavior.”

So, would you PLEASE answer my question? Corruption, media, or massive technical ignorance?

Maybe Trillionaire Intimidation?

Until we first acknowledge and then nullify the very source of our vast, unwitting struggles,

we shall frustrate, wallow, and waste ourselves confronting a death spiral of ramifications.

One day, historians will write the story of how 2004 and 2024 were stolen elections, just like the GOP in Philadelphia, and the Democrats in Chicago and Harry Byrd’s Virginia, were all stolen elections.
