I feel a bit sickened by the chant of "Send her back" at the Trump rally yesterday. It's not surprising, but that doesn't make it better. And it's just going to get uglier and uglier as the election heats up. At the moment I don't really see how Trump loses the election. I don't think he can win the popular vote, but, of course, that doesn't really matter.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Personally, I hope he keeps doubling down on the hatred and bigotry. I have to believe it will result in a historical landslide loss for him and the entire enabling GOP. It is the last chance for Republicans to turn their backs on him or they lose their party. If it doesn't roll that way, then yes I have to consider other options because I don't want to live in a land of bigots. Maybe CA will secede or I'll be off to the Netherlands.

Separately, yay for businesses that understand the value of goodwill.

I worked out yesterday for the first time in ages, and I'm very sore today. Although, I think at least some of the soreness is from the damp weather.

I believed this in 2016, and yet here we are.

I know, Jessica. Right there with you. The reason for my biggest concern being voter suppression efforts. They can only win by cheating, like they did in 2016.

It terrifies me, especially given how the courts are behaving.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In good court news, Epstein was just denied bail.

That is an excellent update, Tom. I just hope each and every person complicit in this man's abuse is made public.
