    Hi folks, I have fairly consistently used the term 'MAGA idiots'; here is one more: Authorities say he stood inside the parking lot posing in pictures with the machete with several other male juveniles who were chanting in support of former President Trump. Florida teenager accused of using machete to intimidate voters at polling station So much for fair elections. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Tanya, During the height of the Watergate Scandal, Nixon said that he did not know what was going on. Someone, I don't remember who, said that was like the piano player in the bordello saying, 'I don't know what they do up there.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Well, there goes the Fourth Estate; it was good while it lasted: USA Today and 200 other Gannett-owned newspapers not endorsing presidential candidate Jerry Baumchen Fourth Estate - Wikipedia

    Hi folks, Anyone want to take a shot at who said this: There can be no room for such vile and racist expressions. Normally, I would say that it is a Democrat referring to something Trump said. But, no; it was: Puerto Rico’s delegate to the U.S. House, Jenniffer González-Colón, a Republican They are doing everything that they can to get this shit off of their shoes.

    Hi Tanya, I'm with you. I would hope Biden would declare it 'done & dusted' before he leaves office. And, thanks for the update. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, OK, they picked this guy to support Trump; then they want to distance themselves as much as possible: Republicans, including Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), are trying to minimize the damage Tony Hinchcliffe's racist remarks roil Donald Trump campaign ahead of election Talk about two-faced. I can only hope that it buries Trump and his MAGA idiots. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi tk, Re: The USA has never managed to pass the Equal Rights Amendment I am no Constitutional expert. The last that I read [ a few yrs ago ] is that that amendment is still out there waiting on [ I 'think' ] just two more states to ratify it. Re: I expect that if men could get pregnant, you would be able to get an abortion at a drive through 7-Eleven Bingo, you nailed it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Rob, Re: They can never go home again because they might tell family and friends about the high standard of living in Ukraine. Just about anywhere in the world, other than NoKo, would be a high standard of living for them. Jerry Baumchen PS) There were many Soviets living is western Russia, Ukraine, etc, that joined the German army to fight against Stalin. Sadly, they were summarily executed when he re-conquered them.

    Hi tk, As I posted in Post #9: Just wait until rush & the rest of the MAGA crowd starts to lose those 'rights' that effect them. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, As most of you know, I am a very strong supporter of a woman's right to abortion. I also donate to NARAL every year. Since the Dobbs decision, slowly but surely, we are winning back the right to an abortion. Slowly, state by state. However, I do not think that is enough. IMO every free thinking woman in this country should get involved; here is one opportunity: Defend Democracy - Emerge Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, I have reached the point where I feel the MAGA's simply do not care about Trump's poor record as President. They do not care if he is a rapist, etc. They only want him to win. Here is one example: Tariffs hurt his business. He's voting for Trump anyway IMO it is a waste of time to try to engage them in a rational discussion. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, “In Honor of a Lifetime of Sexual Assault.” Pop-up Trump statue makes political point in Portland Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, One would think that just once it would work: “Please join us in praying for all those involved in this situation.” Former Damascus Christian School principal, coach and his wife indicted for sexually abusing student - KTVZ Seems a little late to me. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, Or, to paraphrase Leona Hemsley: Those rules are for the little people. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Since Jan 6th did not work out, go here: two Monday morning fires intentionally set at ballot boxes. 2 ballot drop boxes set on fire in Portland/Vancouver area; ‘hundreds’ of ballots destroyed in Washington - oregonlive.com You can expect more of this in the next 7 days. Jerry Baumchen PS) It will not work so good in Oregon as we are a mail-in ballot state & most have already voted.

    Hi Bill, Re: Rush thinks like most Trump supporters - you only have those rights that the government gives you, that they create "out of thin air." Just wait until rush & the rest of the MAGA crowd starts to lose those 'rights' that effect them. As I often post: It is all good until it is your ox that is getting gored. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Robert, Oh, there is so much that the MAGA crowd does not know. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Mark, Hope things are getting better in your part of the world. Us 'older folks' are like wagon wheels: We've been thru it more than once and sometimes it wasn't so nice. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Now, who would want a fair election when our rights are at stake: “What we are seeing is an incredible pushback from our government in terms of just our freedom to have a free and fair election,” DeSantis machine vs. 'Yes' campaign in Florida abortion battle It is getting crazy as to what extent the GOP has no interest in the will of the people. Hopefully, we can show them on 5 Nov. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Here is another case where the words are meaningless: The group describes itself as volunteers with United Sovereign Americans Election integrity doubters pressing unsupported claims get warm reception in Clackamas County - oregonlive.com There is more than one way to skin a cat; oops, I mean to 'win' election.
