So last night in Iowa, Trump declared that since he had won election in 2016 and re-election “by even more” in 2020, that he kinda/probably/maybe/might “do it again.” And of course the drooling defectives all screamed for joy. All 5,000 of them. The morning’s most likely rumor is that he will announce he’s running in 2024 on Monday, Novembr 14.
I found this strangely comforting! If the outcome of next Tuesday turns out to be gut wrenching and awful, I think your foretelling of the future is spot on. The only thing that scares me is the idea that Weasel McCarthy would be third in line for the throne.
Per Rick Wilson, everything tRump touches dies, but not our country. We will wrest it from their evil hands or die trying! Damn the torpedoes! Full steam ahead!
Well...despite the clown show, we'll still be here standing up to craziness and working for a democracy that can deliver what most folks really would like to have delivered. I wonder just how much more BP medication I can take safely? Thanks for making me smile. This period of time actually makes the 60's look reasonable - which of course they were! Onward and upward - from my favorite hymn.
"Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not yet the end." Sonny Kapoor in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011). Great film, great quote. I keep telling myself this in order to get thru this election, and the next...
A tall gypsy baring THE FUTURE FORETOLD entered TAFM’s inner sanctum today. Would we learn the results of the midterm elections and whether The Orange Ogre will run again, I wondered?
Sworn to secrecy were we, but come closer, (in a faint whisper), 'One of the parties will filibuster everything so hard the filibuster will scream for mercy, poor thing.’ And the Orange Ogre -- what of him? (TC)
Can you remember a time when you finished a TAFM piece feeling relaxed and content about the future? The only thing that I can say is that the handsome gypsy may have FORTETOLD, ‘All’s Well That Ends Well’, but then again, maybe not.
TCinLA---another winner! So true--it is not over until We the People say it is over---and that is not on Nov 8 or 14 or whenever. And T* is in deep doo doo. Your prose is getting up there with Charles Pierce for, among other things, chuckles in the tough sections....... Have a good weekend out there. Time to go get those crooks...... Peace and Courage.
Trump sees the presidency as his best defense for his legal problems. Period.
McCONnell is a KKKoch Traitor and will continue relentlessly to destroy this democracy. They pay him well.
The rest of the RNC Goons are on the take and there’s plenty of “Citizens United” money to go around.
The voters of the US see it all as a forum for bully’s settling a score because they made bad choices in life. They took the covid $$$$ and bought fancy electronics and guns. Food insecurity? Inflation? What have they put away for a rainy day?
Well done TC. Another reminder that the fight continues regardless of how Tuesday turns out. And, who knows, the pollsters might be wrong for the first time and we might come out much better than the doomsayers are predicting. If not, there's always next year.
I can't wait until I never have to hear about Trump again. I am sick of him and his cult. Illiterate blowhards, one and all.

Bravo, TC. Thanks for the pep talk.

"It is not the end of democracy, so long as we are still here." And we can make our own "fine mess"😉 to keep it going.
The term —drooling defectives —is worth the price of your subscription.

DEFCON ONE indeed.
Hatches battened down, standing by.
Thank you for pushing my “Be Cautiously Optimistic” button today. It’s so rusty I thought it would never work again.

Thanks TC. You made my day.

Thanks for this TC. I really needed this today.
