Many months ago when it became apparent that the presidential race this year would be a repeat (..... or maybe not...) I decided that I would firmly commit not giving a shit about outcomes and instead focus on the shear entertainment value that this real-time debacle had to offer. I can say that since abdicating my authentic concern for my nation, this has been the most fun I have ever had with politics. Both sides of this are spewing entertainment gold. Seeing talking heads on the left and the right meltdown anytime their candidate makes a perceived gaff or practically climax when it is the opposition candidate is so amazing. Gotta say, this has been an amazing election cycle!! The only downside is that regardless of the outcome, apparently, the world will probably end, based on the opinions of the losing party.

Very much agree with this and I’m more disconnected but also more interested since I don’t let it impact me on a daily basis. If Trump or Kamala wins, my life won’t change dramatically and neither will most citizens in this country. At this point it’s a tragic comedy only the actors don’t know they are in the play.

I don't like Elon but the EU can pound sand with this nonsense. USA! USA! USA!

Our government should have issued its own statement about the attempted election interference by a foreign entity. The so called Democratic Party members issued it own statement:

Clearly the Dems hate free speech.

As a side, I have been in the EU the last two weeks and there are a lot of people here that I have talked to are very fed up with their own government. I also found it interesting that I seen multiple bookstores promoting the book “1984” including a very famous bookstore. Hmm.

Yes, there is a ton of entertainment with this one. Dems thinking democracy will end if Trump is elected (when ousting their own elected candidate and installing a new one that never received a single vote) and at the same time using lawfare to attack their opponents. GOP’ers thinking if Trump doesn’t win the country will be totally in the crapper. Pure entertainment.

The country is most likely going broke anyway no matter what especially if the world moves away from paper currency and toward digital currencies. The US will have a tough time printing itself out of debt then. Then Texas will most likely be the “Russia” of the former United States. And someone like Ted Cruz will be our “Putin”.

[Uncle Ted]

The democrats must view Bobby Jr as a threat and invoke some more lawfare as an attempt to hurt their opponents all in the name of “democracy”:

LOL… it [the DNC] must be scared.

[Uncle Ted]

Please fact check… apparently like 90 million people have listened to this so there much being rioting and looting in the EU now and it’s all burning to the ground. God please help them.

elon is becoming as dumb as trump. sad to see.

So much hate of Elon now that he has become conservative… I thought that the Democratic Party was the party of inclusion, free love, and stuff.

Bill is right… the extreme lefties have ruined the party of JFK that I use to love.

Fun fact about George Orwell, the author of 1984. He opposed and hated totalitarianism but was a committed socialist. You would've called him a commie, even though he wasn't. He was significantly to the left of anyone in our current political landscape.

[PaloAltoCougar]

I agree with Ted (!) that the "Trump will end democracy in the U.S." claims are hyperbolic. But it's not hyperbolic to claim that a Trump win would (i) put an end to democracy in Ukraine, (ii) embolden autocrats in China, Russia, Hungary, and elsewhere, and (iii) undermine nascent democracies in much of the world. Tell me why I'm wrong.

Evidence of why Trump is stuck on his usual messages. His allies keep telling him to stay on message (Harris will open the border, Harris is weak on violent crime, Harris kills us all with higher prices, etc.), but he simply can't. He is just too damn lazy to actually read talking points and get a basic understanding of the issues at hand and the evidence his campaign wants to him to repeat and push. His comment on Iron Dome is a great example of this. His comments reveal that he has absolutely no idea what it is, what it does, how it operates, and why it is effective in some cases (limited coverage areas against rockets and smaller missiles and aircraft) and not in other cases (large area coverage against large, ballistic missiles with multiple warheads). This is not hard, but he is just lazy and doesn't want to do even the most basic of reading.

Hence, we get the same old diatribe - Harris is stupid, Harris is weak, Harris was Indian and now she's black Harris is a communist, blah blah blah.

Trump told Elon Musk if he loses the election he will move to Venezuela. lol
