Okay, just the headline of a story from fly over country which may make you smile

A stupefying poll shows Harris breathing down trumps neck IN KANSAS.

Source: Kansasreflector.com of 31 October.

I’m guessing the women vote. Knucklehead conservatives with the help of the Catholic Church insisted abortion be put to a vote of the people. It was and they lost 59 to 41. It’s those Catholic Chicks lying to their husbands.

Trump beat Biden in 2020 in Kansas by 14 points. He’s now ahead of Harris by 5 per this poll.

I refer to the Reflector often.

I’ll be to the polls early on Tuesday. In Kansas.

I can’t believe magas are faking polls in red states to keep US from voting. Nothing will keep me from voting Tuesday Morning. I hope we run up the score.

We have over 32,000 women in our Kansas Women for Kamala Harris Facebook group and tons of enthusiasm. Harris yard signs dominate here in Wichita and there are even a few Harris billboards. Dems may not win Kansas this go around but I think we are going to make a good showing!

And I often have crazy thoughts. VP Harris wins Kansas. As Bell would say, just a thought.

if Harris won here in KS. For the first time *ever* I put out a political sign... "Cat Ladies for Kamala" And I love to see that point spread. Other than my neighbor across street flying his trump flag, I haven't seen trump signs around me this year... Hopefully we women, in particular, will make the same type of showing at the polls that we did over the abortion question.

Early voter here...

Harris will then be somewhere north of 500 electoral votes.

Piss off women (and men) because you thought putting flunkies on the SC to get of rid Roe was a good idea, then

Thinking farmers would be thrilled with your big tariffs idea.

Then spending your last weeks of campaigning acting like a bonafide lunatic.

I voted in KCK earlier this week. Easy and smooth as usual. I travel around rural KS & MO a lot for work.

There are definitely a lot less MF45 signs and flags than in 2020 or 2016. In the last few weeks I've seen Harris signs in some of the small towns where I never saw a Biden, Obama or other Dem presidential candidate sign before. They did outnumber the MF45 signs.

However, I was in the Ozarks earlier this week for a couple days. Made me want to puke, the number of tRump signs and tRump-merch actual stores that I saw. Same for a few towns in KS.

It's not scientific proof of anything, but it does look like Harris is gonna do better than any recent Democratic presidential candidate.

I just hope it's enough to overcome the cheating and stealing that will be tried by the scumbag republicons and their Russian allies.

And he’s out of his freaking mind with tariffs for farmers. And in red states locals can see immigrants on a daily basis working.

“They” said January 6h 2021 was a dress rehearsal. They didn’t say it was a dress rehearsal for both sides. Details, details.

72 to 6. It won't be remotely close.

The Trump team may try to claim garbage about the mail-in ballots, all the early in-person voting (what I did two weeks ago in NM), and generally try to obfuscate the results. They won't succeed.

I am considering breaking my recent no-alcohol decision and have a glass of bubbly on Tuesday evening.

Then head down to the Main Street Coffee Shop and enjoy. Their obfuscation will be obfuscated. I don’t cuss much, but fuck “them” with a pitchfork. I spent 30 years supporting and defending. We will be fine and dandy Wednesday Morning.

A toast to you My Friend. Mine will be an ice cold Bud. Maybe two.

For years Repukes have been salivating at the thought of overturning Roe .... be careful what you wish for, because it turns out that even women in red states have sex, get pregnant, and sometimes have abortions.

And I’ve yet to have a naysayer give me Standing. Not one anti abortionist zealot operating on religious fervor is harmed by a woman or a 12 year old rape victim getting an abortion.
