The headline is from Strib, online here.
Joe Biden is such a conservative tool of donor will, and Harris is such a climber.
How could a person in good conscience cast a vote for the pair?
Trump, per the reporting, makes it not only an easy decision, but a necessary one. We have to remove hate and divisive meanness at the top. Before it trickles down anymore than already. Every person at that speech should have walked out.
He convinced me to fill my ballot out Biden-Harris.
Unwillingly, given the low quality of that ticket. But necessarily so given the likely alternative of the amount of scorn and mischief and sheer mean divisiveness four more Trump-Pence years would mean.
LESSER EVIL SUCKS. LESSER EVIL IS EASILY SEEN.
end of story - the ballot has been requested online - - -
- - - and then there is Tina and her scorn for the planet's well being vs. whoring for Iron Range votes.
AGAIN, LESSER EVIL RAISES ITS UGLY HEAD. There is nothing to cause any degree of enthusiasm to voting Tina again. Except - Jason Lewis and his whoring to Trump. Easy call to make.
Holding the nose for the entire ballot top-down. Long term, the corporate owned Dems need to be overwhelmed by US to gain a better nation for US. In due time.
Today has today's needs. The Republicans are beyond hope. Beyond any reasonable buy-in cause. More fascist than even the Clintons.
WORSE THAN SCHUMER EVEN!
NOTHING SCHUMER HAS DONE FOR FASCISM IN AMERICA EQUALS TRUMP'S PRAISE OF NATIVE AMERICAN GENOCIDE, AS "GOOD GENES" OR ANYTHING ELSE. PERHAPS TRUMP BELIEVES NETANYAHU HAS GOOD GENES, PALESTINIANS LESS SO. AS JUSTIFICATION FOR PALESTINIAN LAND BEING STOLEN. YET MORE THAN ALREADY.
VOTE HATE-FUELING DONALD J. TRUMP OUT.
YESTERDAY IS NOT SOON ENOUGH - NOV 3 BEING THE DEADLINE.
SO DO IT.
(GETTING BARR OUT VIA THE SAME VOTE IS A TWO-FOR BONUS.)
_____________UPDATE___________
Websearch. Digby immediately jumps Trump eugenics. From a comical perspective, chilling still.
The man sells hate. Revels in it. Note: the opening Strib link was local-authored, not a web feed carried by Strib. The websearch was to see how widespread knowledge has been of what Trump said at a Bemidji airport hanger to a white crowd. Later in the Strib item:
Bemidji, a town of 15,000, is 80% white and surrounded by the Red Lake, Leech Lake and White Earth Indian reservations.
It is the seat of Beltrami County, where commissioners voted 3-2 in January against allowing refugee resettlement after the Trump administration instituted a policy giving local communities a say in whether to take new refugees. Beltrami County was one of the few localities in the nation to vote against permitting new refugees, though a federal judge soon blocked the White House from enforcing the executive order.
[...]
Trump has attributed his own success over the years to good genes, even well before he became president.
But Veena Iyer likened Trump’s comments in Bemidji to eugenics advocates, including Nazis and U.S. policymakers, who about 100 years ago built an immigration system based on racial quotas.
“This statement hearkens to eras both in our own country and in other nations’ histories that we do not as a nation, as a state, as a community want to go back to because they don’t reflect our values,” said Iyer, executive director of the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. “…At the end of the day, there’s no reason that we should have any leader in our country in whatever context rallying a group of people based on their ‘good genes.’ ”
Opponents of refugee resettlement in Beltrami County pointed to the financial burden as a top reason. They noted that the county must first take care of its own residents in need before tending to outsiders. While commissioners who voted against refugee resettlement did not return phone messages Monday, Commissioner Tim Sumner pointed to racism as a deeper reason.
“I think it goes further than financial,” said Sumner, who voted to allow refugee resettlement and is a member of the Red Lake Nation. “Let’s be honest, it’s racism is what it is. And for the president to come to Bemidji, which is surrounded by three tribal nations, to spew hatred and racism is uncalled for, especially when we’re a county and a community that’s still dealing with racism and still trying to move forward from this refugee [vote].”
Race baiting is not nice. Nor is Trump. Race baiting has no place in American politics. Nor should Trump, any more. Vote him out. Bite the Biden bullet. Yes, the Biden cramdown was obscene. Yes, it deserves scorn what the Democratic Party inner operatives along with Bloomberg did. Yes, the obscenity of Trump is greater, while both obscenities are galling to the core beliefs of the level, cultured soul.
Digby, early in her analysis,
Even though we knew from the beginning that we were dealing with an essentially authoritarian leader, our awareness of it has sometimes been subsumed amid the sheer chaos of daily news over the past five years. But if you look at the various issues Trump is most obsessed with, whether it was the lurid obsession with terrorist violence and refugees during the 2016 campaign or his preoccupation with immigrants, the pardoning of war criminals, his flirtations with dictators, the endless threats to jail his political opponents and muzzle the press, the valorizing of the Confederacy and the openly racist “law and order” campaign of this year, it’s pretty clear what gets him excited — along with his devoted following.
But wait, you say: Donald Trump only cares about himself! He’s not interested in anything as abstract as “issues.” But these are not mutually exclusive things. You see, Donald Trump genuinely believes he is scientifically superior to all those “others” and that they must be kept in check, with whatever level of violence may be necessary.
She piles more on, from there. Read it.
Last, the quite short video might not chill you. It chilled me. Not my America.
That video takes a range of comments from different times and venues, and shows a thread of unquestionable racism. Eugenics may have had an early anchor in Planned Parenthood's history, but after the second world war it came to be universally viewed as poisonous means toward "untermenschen" policy killing millions. As un-American as things get in today's U.S. of A.
