“Fuck off and die.”

Exactly what Trump will tell his supporters if he wins and we get another pandemic and/or weather crisis.

The Melting Pumpkin has been demeaning the cult following, seems like forever. Injecting bleech...throwing paper towels.....selling them trumptrash..bullshit products......telling the brainwashed losers to vote and 'get outta here"......

LIke his mentor, Adolf Hitler who blamed the Greman people for his defeat in `1945, so Orange Hitler will blame his Magat-hat flock of idiots for his defeat in 2024

As a poll worker, I appreciate your support. I've been working at the polls (except during the pandemic) for the past 16 years. We're not volunteers in my area; we get $150 for the day, from 6:00 am to the a$$ end of whenever all the paperwork is done and we can go home -- the record being before 9:00 pm, but it's never less than that, and often more. It's close to being volunteer work, but I love every moment (except the paperwork!) and making sure everyone gets the chance to vote. We go our of our way to help voters in the wrong precinct, cheer for young first-time voters, welcome new-to-us voters who have moved into our area. And it's exhilarating and scary and more thrilling than the most creative roller-coaster. I've bought my blue pantsuit, added a "proof I'm a patriot" little flag pin, and I am ready to toil in the vineyards of democracy. Please thank your poll workers, defend them if they're being harassed, and join them if you can.

Thank you for your dedication! My husband was a poll worker & found it gratifying & exhausting. He's now a senior with health challenges so can't do it now.

I vote in person mainly so that I can thank our pole workers. It’s a long, tough day for these folks, and they deserve a thank you.

I started during the pandemic as a ballot machine operator. There at 5 am in NEw York, and home by midnight. In a very red and chaotic district. It was an eye opener, and I have been doing it ever since. Everyone was appreciative of us being there so they could vote. And we clap for first time voters too. I have a feeling there will be many first timers this year. I start on our first day if early voting this Saturday.

Thank you for your support! I don't need more money, but being able to split the day between workers or have a couple of breaks would be fantastic. The issue here is that we have to sign the "zero tapes" at the beginning of the day and the "final tapes" (both strips of paper, like CVS receipts) to certify them. It does seem that we could sign in and out somehow, but for now we're stuck. And I'm in Allegheny County, PA, Pittsburgh's county, so every vote, every worker, really matters. This year, it's like being handed the starter's pistol, the stop-watch, and the winner's cup and being told it's all up to us. It isn't, of course, but the responsibility feels huge.

The evil that is Trump continues to ruin lives beyond salvage. Blindly ambitious and somewhat stupid, Rudy was the perfect mark for Trump’s con.

FYI- Rudy’s Former wife, and mother of his kids wrote a delightful book a while back. “My Boyfriend’s Back”, by Donna Hanover, about how she reconnected with her college boyfriend after her divorce from Rudy. It’s a true, very delightful and inspiring book. I was so glad I read it and recommend her book to anyone interested. A relief from our challenges now . It’s very sad the path Rudy chose to follow, not so his ex-wife. She’s made healthier choices.

It's impossible to MEASURE how much I would love, love, LOVE to roam the UES and bump into Shaye and Ruby at, say, The Plaza, sipping bubbly...or Alice's Tea Cup for a spot of Earl Greay...or by the boat pond in the Park, just hangin'.

They must come to NYC, move into Rudy's place, be one of us...and throw a big party where we DANCE ALL NIGHT LONG to peppy 80's pop tunes, barefoot.

Is this so wrong of me to want this so badly?

I dream big. Dream with me.

Indeed (said the exiled New Yorker, with a tear in her eye). May these amazing women live long and prosper; may they be safe from everyone who seeks to take advantage of them, along with everyone who harassed and harmed them; may they find peace and joy on their paths going forward; may NYC embrace them and show them its very best; may the nearest bodega in every cardinal direction from their house always have their favorite snack cakes and juice in stock. They deserve every good thing.

You need to find a more reliable source for your hunches.

The big liar is the one known as a deadbeat; the big creep is not. Rudy moved in decades ago and lived there when he was flush. Critics never accused him of being behind on his mortgage. He has hit on hard times only since aligning closely with the big liar's political career.

Followed by an eternity or 2 in Hell if it indeed exists. Barring that, drop them on North Korea, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or one of those other places that they express ( or at least DJT does ) such ADMIRATION for, although THAT might be showing a sort of Bizarro KINDNESS to them.

Too sad, these people who need the help dealing with their PTSD won’t admit it and get the benefits they all need so very badly. Not only they could and if they would commit to the healing process, would benefit, those close to them, And so, so many they have harmed, in many cases destroyed, and those who loved, love and grieve them, could have far better opportunities to heal, along with the millions of our fellow citizens. And many millions more around the world. This is truly what those of us who oppose them desire, for the sake of The Good of America and Humanity Betterment for All, good will, and Healing, healthy living, thriving communities.

Thank you, Mary, It is much appreciated that you are willing to shine a light on corruption in your city. I hope Ruby and Shaye get to enjoy whatever they can get from Guiliani's forfeiture. They deserve some security as well as peace and quiet. Guiliani certainly got what he deserved. I wish other juridictions would do similar punishments. Two or three years in a 'country club' prison where they are treated with respect is like a mosquito bite. But taking their wealth and trappings hurts their vanity and that is the only thing that causes pain.

Being a poll worker, this ruling couldn’t come at a better time. I won’t be intimidated but I will, if necessary, take names and find a high-powered attorney to take the offenders to the fking cleaners. FAFO maga ‘poll watchers’. Fair warning. I was hesitant but now I’m just pissed it’s come to this unnecessary ugliness.

Cameras are not permitted in polling places for the privacy and individual rights of citizens. This is what happens in fascism: We begin to put cracks in our foundational rights in the name of "safety". Instead we erode our true values and guardrails.

The election office informed me that the polling place I’m working does have cameras in their business, which is a tribal casino. I don’t know if they will be allowed to have them turned on. I was unaware of this information but I have my phone.

For the life of me I can’t get past this talking point that the country was better off with Dickshit in office. You’d think a mere few died from Covid due to his horrific mismanagement of Covid.. let’s just settle on that one issue..businesses, schools, airports came to a grinding halt, toilet paper for Christ’s sake was a coveted hot commodity…. toilet paper. I know I’m speaking to our choir but what world are we in?

It has been estimated more than 200,000 Americans died because they believed anti-vax/anti-mask lies. Consider how many more Americans are negatively impacted by the loss of those 200,000, and we are likely close to a million people whose lives were changed forever by the fraudulent criminal.
