senseandsensibility's JournalSo, appropriately, Joy Reid spent 3/4 of her show on the Nazi story, BUT
she did address the "allegations" or whatever they are about groping. She had several of the women who have already gone on the record as accusing trump of groping on to discuss what they say he's done to them. Then she said that they have not confirmed the latest allegations. I hope other progressive journalists do the same, until there is solid confirmation. It seems to be RW types who are teasing this.
Good, heartfelt advice from Ron Filipkowski just now
I think it applies to all of us, and I am taking it seriously.
Trust me, years from now you will look back on this moment in time and only feel good about it if you know in your heart you did everything you could within your power to help win.
I was inspired to do a gut check on that one, and am still thinking about it. I hope it inspires others as well. 
Simon Rosenberg likes "dipshit" more than weird
Do you agree? For informational purposes, Walz called Musk a dipshit for jumping around the stage yesterday, as well as calling out his dangerous monetary influence on the election.
Tim Walz is trending on twitter because of it. I think he should continue with this. It's getting under their skin more than the weird thing.
Bill Gates just contributed fifty million
to organizations supporting Harris/Walz. Just saw on TeaPain's twitter page.
Well, good for him. 
Money isn't everything, but it sure helps.
Meanwhile, JD (remember him) has a new routine
For a while now, he's been appearing at "press conferences" where he is filmed up close showing a few maga supporters behind him. Impossible to say how many people are there, but only a dozen or so are visible. He then proceeds to answer questions, but shockingly, his answers make no sense or are nonexistent. Meanwhile, the "crowd " of ten or so people loudly boo any reporter who does not ask a groveling question.
Why do reporters allow themselves to be used this way over and over? It has nothing to do with journalism. If they want to be extras in a really low budget commercial, they should audition for that.
Also, they agree to these conditions only for R's. It's getting to the point where they don't even pretend anymore.
"Dipshit"
Walz said Musk was jumping around on the stage like a d.s. Now, many of you know that I'm not big on profanity, but that's funny. Sounds exactly like what most midwestern men would have said about both musk and cheato before they joined a cult.
What a breath of fresh air!
Tim Walz breaks it down
"He's talking about sending the military against people who don't support him. He's naming names...he's talking about you. He's talking about using the military to go after people disagree with his idiotic ideas...this is nowhere near normal."
I love the way he's explaining to the crowd that "enemy within" refers to THEM.
And that is what this election is about, MSNBC. It's not about some gossip about the Harris campaign feeling nervous. The "story" (a journalistic term with a specific meaning) is that one side is against democracy. Your coverage should be at least 2-1 this.
How it works in California
Hubby and I dropped off our ballots at the local post office. We dropped it into the locked drive-through box outside the actual building. We did a few more errands and got home about 40 minutes later. I logged onto the state website and looked up my ballot. It was already marked as received by the post office! I will get an e-mail when it is received by the state election bureau. If it goes like last time, I'll probably get that e-mail tomorrow. Love our system!
Felt great to vote and thanks to everyone on DU for getting out there in their respective states and saving democracy! 
If you can, watch Simon Rosenberg and Tom Bonier on Joy Reid
Today's show was excellent. At the end, she had a segment with both of these gentlemen and they discuss the polls and what they mean. Rosenberg talked about the influx of R polls and how the race has not shifted right. Catch it if you can!
Not eating gummies!
So...Maria Shriver joined Kamala Harris and Liz Cheney at their event today. She said that people have been telling her that they are so anxious about the election that they are turning off the news and "eating gummies". She asked Kamala what she was doing.
Her answer? "Not eating gummies!" Our candidate is not stupid enough to walk into that one
