'Yes, I was in a cult': J6 rioter backing Harris after admitting being 'all in with MAGA'

As part of interviews with three Donald Trump supporters who headed off to Washington, D.C. to attend the post-election "Stop the Steal" rally, one woman called it the biggest mistake of her life and has become a full-throated supporter of... Kamala Harris...

"Yes, I was in a cult..I got caught up in all the lies.”

FYI- Team #Harris rapid response team is having a field day. They can’t believe the political gifts this klan rally is serving them on a silver platter.

Just received this comment on a video we posted about the speakers at #Trump’s event today


Why the Houston Chronicle makes endorsements: "Newspapers don’t endorse candidates. Editorial boards do. The editorial board is separate from the newsroom...We do it as a service to our readers and to our democracy, which cannot flourish without an informed citizenry."

The editorial board of the Houston Chronicle isn't afraid to endorse Kamala Harris for president.

Ooops.

Via Politico's Adam Wren:

New: Donald #Trump's two-minute ad that aired during Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles game and said the country had "gone to hell" during the #Biden and #Harris administration featured an image from a protest during Trump’s presidency, not Biden’s.

Seems like the writers could not have scripted a better event for Kamala #Harris.


The Washington Post Snuck In an Endorsement After All—From Its Humor Writer

“I would be a little embarrassed that it has fallen to me, the humor columnist, to make our presidential endorsement,” Petri wrote. “I will spare you the suspense: I am endorsing Kamala Harris for president, because I like elections and want to keep having them.” ...

The Post’s readership, she argued, deserves and expects “that we are saying what we really think...

CNN, MSNBC, Fox all taking Donald #Trump's rally live.

Good.


Via Victor Shi:

This is huge. Jennifer Lopez also just posted VP #Harris’s plan to help Puerto Ricans to her 250 MILLION followers on Instagram — on the same day that #Trump’s ilk insulted Puerto Ricans. This will cost the Trump campaign big time.

Via Yashar Ali:

...two Puerto Rican superstars, Bad Bunny and Ricky Martin, have posted about the 2024 election.

Bad Bunny shared Kamala Harris’s video about Puerto Rico with his 45 million followers.


JFC.

Via Sarafina Chitika:

Today, Kamala #Harris rolled out her agenda to strengthen the economy, improve health care and rebuild the power grid in Puerto Rico.

Meanwhile, at #Trump's rally 👀

I told a very anxious friend that while I'm not one to "unskew" the polls, I have written about polling for 20+ years and I've never before felt that they just aren't providing me with reliable information.

Here are a few reasons why I do now... 1/x
#Election2024 #polls #trump #harris #media


Note the wording. #Harris is so good at this.

CBS: "You know that Donald #Trump has disavowed #Project2025. He says that is not his campaign plan."

Harris: "As you know, I am a former prosecutor. 👉🏼His DNA is all over it👈🏼All over it. His running mate wrote the fwd to bk of the author of Proj 2025. I believe Trump's name appears at least 300x in P2025. & it is a blueprint, a detailed blueprint that is about the danger & the detail of what Donald Trump & his allies plan if he is in the WH again"


With the usual caveats. Vote. That’s the only poll that counts:

ABC-Ipsos poll: Likely voters

#Harris 51%
#Trump 47%

"Compared with earlier this month, Harris has regained a more customary Democratic advantage among Hispanic people and widened her advantage among suburban women, while remaining strong in core groups including Black people."


If you are pissed about Bezos’ decision to pull the #Harris endorsement, don’t cancel WaPost. He won’t feel that. Cancel #amazonprime instead.

she has to be flawless?

No.

She has to at least not be an imbecile that can barely seem to string two sentences together. That's not a high bar. And somehow the Democratic Party decided, without consulting its members, to nominate a person who can barely get over that low bar.

She doesn't have to be flawless. She has to be better than Trump. And she struggles to be better than Trump.

I'm sorry, Harris is terrible. Our party should have nominated someone better. We need to hold the party accountable for that.

We're not looking for flawless, we're looking for not terrible, and the Democratic Party settled on a terrible person as their nominee.

"The Real #Trump Problem: Cognitive Decline?
Donald Trump, [is] showing potential signs of cognitive decline, may not be able to perform the duties of the presidency for a full term. We believe he should release his medical records, as Vice President Harris has done, to provide transparency about his health."

I think people aren't giving enough consideration to possibility that Bezos killed #Harris nomination as part of quid pro quo, not fear.

I have wondered the same abt some of the union endorsements.

After all, John Roberts has largely eliminated bribery as a crime, esp for POTUS

“Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones … As we consider the full situation carefully, however, we conclude that voting for Kamala Harris is the best option for the Palestinian cause and all of our communities.”

Both sides support rule by the #US #Oligarchy and agree on far more than they disagree on.
Granted, one side is clearly much worse than the other, but #Democracy long ago left the building.
Neither side is really committed to doing anything that will actually improve the lives of the average #American very much.
#America will remain the plaything and playground of the ultra-rich.

#VOTE FOR #HARRIS.


#Harris is a cop that the #DemocraticParty nominated without the input of all of us in an era that is marked by the public being skeptical of cops.

Why is it a surprise that she's struggling? The people in power screwed up here, and they need to be held accountable for their screw up.

We need to be very clear about that even if you want to vote for her for some reason, the party elites have disrespected us.

Hopefully things will be better in 4 years, but for now we're just screwed.

Kamala #Harris for president https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/editorials/a/endorsement-president-kamala-harris-democracy-20241025.html

"Voters face an easy but tectonic choice in the race for the White House.

Will they choose the prosecutor or the convict?

Will they choose the candidate who supports restoring Roe v. Wade or the man who bragged about overturning it?

Will they choose the candidate who upholds the peaceful transfer of power or the one who summoned a violent mob to attack the U.S. Capitol?"

so the #LosAngelesTimes owner #PatrickSoonShiong killed its endorsement of #Harris. #Editorial Chief #MarielGarza and others quit in protest

now:

question: what do people think of parasite #plutocracy controlling the "#freepress"?

this is a step in the march to #fascism

Interesting nuggets in NYT/Siena:

#Harris cut #Trump’s lead on the economy **in half** since last month

Among the 15% of voters still not fully decided, Harris is up by 10. Two weeks ago, Trump led them by 1.

Late breakers are swinging her way - same we saw in Emerson last week


Via Dan Pfeiffer:

This is a smart way to draw attention to what access to abortion could look like across America if #Trump wins.

It is not a play to win #Texas. And the fact that people are reacting this way shows that its a great way to get attention -- the most valuable resource at this stage

Sam Stein:

#Harris will head to TEXAS on Friday. Will campaign with Allred. Will focus on #abortion policy


What the Justice Department could look like under #Harris presidency

“4 sources familiar w Harris campaign’s discussions told NBC News that there are three main names under consideration: North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who was on Harris' vice presidential short list; former Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, who served as the No. 3 official at the Justice Department until earlier this year; and U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/justice-department-attorney-general-nominee-kamala-harris-president-rcna176171

Kaitlan COLLINS: What do you think Kamala #Harris has to do to avoid a repeat of 2016?

HILLARY CLINTON: Well first of all I don't think she has Jim Comey in the wings waiting to kneecap her, so that's good.

Breaking on MSNBC:

#Beyonce will appear with Vice President #Harris in Houston Friday night. She is expected to perform.

That's both Beyonce hometown and where Harris is expected to highlight Texas #abortion restrictions.


Earlier this year we decided that, although we're across the pond, we wanted to help Kamala Harris' campaign for the US presidency.

The community we have built here is full of diversity and those people could be in danger if the Republican nomination gets into the US office.

We're so proud that the @KamalaHarrisWin Group set up on Newsmast and we really appreciate the work the team behind the account are doing to campaign in this very crucial period.

Hell yes.

Save the date: On Oct. 29, one week before Election Day, Vice President #Harris will deliver a "closing argument" speech in D.C. at the Ellipse — the site where Trump spoke just before the #Jan6 riot.
