So, how do you know if your ballot was burned?

I’m here to tell you that even though some have forgotten … I remember.

I remember what it was like when Trump was president.

I remember what he did and said, about Puerto Rico…
About our people ...

I remember after Hurricane Maria devastated our island…
Trump blocked billions in relief … while thousands died.

I remember that when our families lacked clean water and electricity,
Trump threw paper towels and called Puerto Rico “dirty” and “poor.”

But I was not surprised..

Because I ALSO remember… he launched his campaign by calling Latinos criminals and rapists.

He’s told us what he’ll do.

He'll separate children from their families and threatened to use the ARMY to do it

This election goes way beyond political parties.

Now let’s remember what the United States represents and stands for. It’s our name - United.

Regardless of where we’re from.
I’m Marc Anthony…

I remember…

And that’s why I support Kamala Harris for President

Good for him. But that will work well in NYC.
In Florida, the idiot Cubans and the idiot Venezuelans will vote for Trump because "he is strong and he will put Maduro out of power", and the Cubans still believe that a Republican administration will be the one that will topple the Cuban regime, although the sole admin that attempted to topple the regime was Democrat (yes, they failed).
Trump will get the latino vote, especially the men's. As the many cartoons have said it: the sheep will vote for the wolf.
I won't mind one bit when he starts mass deportations of people that have lived in the USA for decades, because their children voted for Tiny.

If you tell the story of the burnt ballot boxes in Portland and Vancouver this week (an important story that warrants attention), also tell how good fire-suppressant design saved all but three ballots in the Portland box, and the efforts of the election workers who contacted those three voters and arranged for replacement ballots.

Things are scary and bad, and often literally on fire. But there are good people and good systems too. Making us forget that is always a win for the worst ones.
This is good to know.

Meantime, millions of Homer Simpson wannabe's at home, munching on a donut and watching the WWE, remain calmy sure that they will cast their vote for the man that will make this country great again. And again.

It is an impressive turnout, in DC, which is a democrat enclave.

I've received a Trump flyer in the mail every day for the past 2 weeks and almost every day for the past month. Today's flyer is my personal favorite.

::
FRONT:

[Pic of Trump on the floor with blood dripping down the right side of his face.]
He is prepared to give his life to save America.
Are you prepared to vote?

BACK:
They've tried to bankrupt him.
They've tried to jail him.
They've even tried to assassinate him.
Yet, Donald J. Trump has never stopped fighting for us.

Someone (someone's agent) read the room?

I saw the worst, and I mean the worst, ad ever today while at the hair dresser.
Someone has been paying to air an ad during the View that accuses the VP of supporting genocide of black babies by supporting abortion rights. It comes complete with images of deceased or dying newborns. I have never been speechless in my life but I was literally gasping when it ended. Apparently it airs during the View and hasn't been seen anywhere else to my knowledge. I did a search on Google and DuckDuckGo and can't find any reference to the ad.

Do they really think black women are as dumb as white men about how pregnancy works?
