    To be fair he’s been commenting about dick sizes for eight years now and his supporters seem to love it. They apparently like it when their preferred candidate sinks to their level of discourse.

    So, people have been posting reviews of McDonald’s now that trump works there. My favorite: ‘I tried to order an Arnold Palmer but the crusty old man at the counter told me he didn’t think I could handle it.’

    The real fascinating thing is that loser trump wants to use the military to go after ‘the enemy within’ including Adam Schiff, Nancy pelosi and the democrats. But republicans keep pretending that what he said isn’t what he said. It’s sad and pathetic that only people like Liz Cheney show that the Republican Party might still be capable of honor. If Mike Johnson and Lindsay graham are truly where the Republican Party is at this point then the whole party deserves to die an ugly ugly death. And the world will be a better place once that has happened.

    I’m sorry you were missing the funny memes about Trump’s stint at McDonald’s.

    Today's NYT had an article about his many threats to silence the media that has criticized him, including jail and suspension of licensing. Since he's basically a chronic liar, it's hard to tell what he will actually do, but I'd not put anything beyond him.

    I wonder if anyone will legally call out Elon on the millions he's giving away to voters.

    You might have to move.

    ...petition created by America PAC encourages voters in six swing states - Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina - to sign a "petition in favour of free speech and the right to bear arms".
    Those who refer another voter who signs up are promised a sum of $47 (£36) each.
    Higher sums of $100 for signing or referring are offered in Pennsylvania, the battleground state that both the Trump and Harris campaigns believe could potentially decide the race's eventual victor.
    America PAC says those who sign the petition are signalling their support for the First and Second amendments of the US Constitution.
    Each day until polling day on 5 November, a $1m prize will be randomly awarded to any signatory in one of the seven swing states.


    "It is illegal to give out money on the condition that recipients register as voters," Mr Noti told the BBC.
    Constitutional law professor Jeremy Paul, with Northeastern University School of Law, said in an email to the BBC that Mr Musk is taking advantage of a legal loophole.
    He said that, while there is an argument that the offer could be illegal, it is “targeted and designed to get around what’s supposed to be the law" and he believes the case would be difficult to make in court.

    Thank you for that summary.

    I am glad to not be in a swing state where my vote would be far more important than it will be here. But I would have no problem signing on to support for 1st and 2nd amendments empty tho that act might be.

    I generally avoid online petitions because they are useless.

    Is Elon Musk the new designated supervillain?

    Are the Koch brothers on sabbatical?

    Don’t these people realize the only acceptable way to purchase votes is with taxpayer money?
