Michelle Obamas speech today in Michigan blew me away. WOW!

Shame it can’t be shared to the DBR folks. I hope they see it somehow.

Disgusting, but sadly not unexpected.

Some speakers at former President Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday hurled insults at Vice President Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, illegal immigrants and Puerto Rico.

Radio host Sid Rosenberg said, “She is some sick bastard, that Hillary Clinton, huh? What a sick son of a b*tch.”

Later, Rosenberg said, “You got homeless and veterans, Americans, Americans, sleeping on their own feces on a bench in Central Park. But the f**king illegals, they get whatever they want, don’t they.”

I sent this one to a few Latino American friends.

Trump rally speaker: “And these Latinos, they love making babies too. Just know that. They do. They do. There’s no pulling out. They don’t do that. They come inside. Just like they did to our country.”

From the same person. This will really help the Puerto Rican vote….

Don't know if it will go anywhere, but Musk is in hot water for his $1M election giveaway scheme.

Philadelphia’s district attorney asked a state judge on Monday to shut down tech billionaire Elon Musk’s controversial $1 million giveaway to registered voters, calling it an “illegal lottery scheme.”

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Democrat, filed the civil lawsuit against Musk and his pro-Trump group, America PAC.

This is only the beginning.

Federal authorities are investigating fires at two ballot boxes reported Monday morning in the Portland, Oregon, area, as well as another fire reported earlier this month.

Police said material from the incendiary devices show the fires are connected, and authorities have identified a “suspect vehicle” that was seen leaving the scene of the first fire, according to The Associated Press.

Police responded to a call about a fire in Portland about 3:30 a.m. Monday, the Portland Police Bureau said in a statement. An “incendiary device” was placed inside the box and security personnel extinguished the fire, officials said.

The second ballot box was set on fire early Monday morning at a bus station in Vancouver, Washington, according to the Vancouver Police Department. When officers arrived, they found a “suspicious device” next to the box, which was smoking and on fire, police said.

The blowback from that disgusting racist rally is building, including from within the GOP. It's possible that this election's October Surprise is self inflicted.

100%.

To make it even worse, the Trump team allegedly edited out another joke by the comic which means that they were completely fine with the one disparaging Puerto Rico. I guess none of them were smart enough to look up how many Americans of Puerto Rican heritage there are in the swing states.

I continue to believe that they know they are losing and will lose. At this point, they are just laying the groundwork to claim the election was stolen and attempt some shenanigans.

I am sure Trump is working on something to change the narrative. Buckle up.

Completely agree. Saw that point somewhere in the last day or two and it is right. He isn't necessarily trying to win via the traditional way. He is trying to get his supporters really angry and he will win through other means, which he has been working on. I'm sure a Trumper would read this and say I have TDS or that he is owning space in my head, but based on what he has said and done, I wouldn't doubt it.

Harris is gunning hard for the Black vote. She's actually been polling lower with Black males than Biden in '20, so this is really smart.

Vice President Harris will sit for another interview with Charlamagne tha God on Tuesday morning. It will be her second interview with the radio host since announcing her campaign back in July.

Harris sat with Charlamagne two weeks ago for a town hall in Detroit.

Side note, I spent the entire SMU game cleaning up and watching Duke play while talking politics with four Omega Psi Phi brothers, of various years. They are all hyper successful after both playing on the field and going to class. It was a very valuable night for me, getting their insight from a perspective that I can never experience. There's nothing I can pass along from that convo other than it was very enlightening.

I like this Charlamagne guy. Seems a decent dude and agreed. Very smart move by Harris.

I don’t think I could post this on the DBR thread but did you see this young ladies experience of voting in NC? I’d like to say unbelievable but it ain’t.

Dry hurricanes are the best.

[OPK]

I can’t believe y’all are joking about this shit. A water hurricane can beget a full-blown sharknado.

This is no laughing matter.

I got a two day ban OY for saying that all the Trumpers who want to overthrow our country should be sent on one of Musk's rockets to outer space. Oh well. I think there has been far worse recently but c'est la vie.

Tomorrow is going to be a really long day. Not sure how much I can stomach.

[CameronBornAndBred]

I'm working today (probably will be very slow) but I'm taking at least the morning off tomorrow. I know I'll be up way late and likely emotionally drained.
