Harris rallies young voters while Trump calls America a 'garbage can' https://www.dailykos.com/story/2024/10/25/2279447/-Harris-rallies-young-voters-while-Trump-calls-America-a-garbage-can?pm_campaign=blog&pm_medium=rss&pm_source=&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

scary

@barney Don’t they know Democracy dies in darkness? It is after all their slogan.

For the first time in 36 years, the Washington Post will not endorse a presidential candidate.

This is happening because WaPo owner Jeff Bezos hired a rabid fascist, Will Lewis, as the Post's new publisher.

If you're still paying for a Washington Post subscription, you are paying for the rise of fascism in America, and I hope you will cancel your subscription immediately.

"The televised broadcast omitted Trump’s comments about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. He told the barbershop customers that “they just dumped 50,000 people — 32,000 migrants from another country — in Springfield, Ohio. They don’t know what to do.” The actual number of migrants in Springfield is far lower, according to the city’s own data. The broadcast also left out Trump’s gross exaggerations about crime in Aurora, Colorado.

One of the most telling parts of the dialogue began when an audience member asked Trump about finding a way to eliminate federal taxes in the future. On Fox, Trump was shown immediately answering affirmatively: “There is a way.”

But that response from Trump actually came more than seven minutes later, after Trump (and Jones) brought up other topics, including inheritances, the Keystone Pipeline, Ronald Reagan, Russia, and transgender sports players. Trump had to be nudged back on track several times by the unnamed audience member, who kept circling back, apologetically, and said “I wasn’t able to finish my question.” After he repeated his tax inquiry yet again, Trump said “there is a way.” "

Soooo, people are getting suspended on Threads for criticizing Hitler or criticizing the people praising Hitler. But yeah, tell me again how Masto is too complicated.

With the warnings we’re receiving from Trump’s former Chief of Staff, top military commanders and former defense secretary, we need to understand what powers Trump would invoke and what limitations there are, if any.
