I'm not a religious man, but if I were I would be up all night praying. And NOT for the religious Right's favourite serial adulterer.

I'm also a Brit, which some may feel means it's not my business. But as J K Rowling said in response to just such a comment, the question of who gets their hands on the nuclear codes is EVERYONE's business!

Not your business? I would never say that. We share this earth. We all have a right to opinions and I appreciate hearing what other parts of the world think. The world is very interconnected whether the MAGAs want to recognize it or not. Thanks for your comment.

Well, we're nit doing a good job of sharing.

Hopefully this election will go BLUE, and we can effectively attack the urgent deathly problem of global warming.

Nuke warfare is overly dramatically portrayed . If a bomb 💣 of any kind from a hand grenade to. Nuke kills you you don’t get any deader from one kind of violence than the other.

War of any kind is a long drawn out process where one side and the other side reacts ( both defensively and offensively) . I do not welcome nuke warfare but getting overly concerned do not help the situation. It’s only a matter until some true believers detonate another nuke weapon.

Think of it as retroactive abortion on a large scale…

The countdown to the next nuke war started in 1945 and that clock is still ticking…

What commandment is adultery prohibited I forgot.

What commandant hasn’t been violated by trumpet 🎺 “the wanker “ ???

The order of the “Big 10” commandments varies in different versions of the Bible.

I say “Big 10” because as a [non-observant] Jew I recall from my religious school classes that The Old Testament in fact contains 613 Commandments - 248

“You shall” and 365 “You shall not.”

You are correct that The Orange Beast has scored a perfect Ten.

Thank you.

I hereby nominate Liz Cheney to replace Merrick Garland as Attorney General.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I’d rather see Sen. Whitehouse or Sen. Raskin as AG. Or someone that those two would suggest.

If Kamala wins, she should definately be offered a cabinet position.

Thomas, although honorable, she is still conservative-minded, so that's a big thumbs down for me.

I was able to VOTE early. Kamala will be a terrific POTUS.

Something is wrong with the people who compose the minorities in this country. We exist in a democracy and being an integral component of that entity our population as a whole understands the rules by which we live. Objectively speaking the "Majority rules." Whenever we hold an election, it is inevitable that there will be a winner and there will be losers. The winners rejoice at their victory and the losers must understand their position will have another chance in the next election. That is how it has been since our conception. What has changed is the perception held by the losers that they were cheated and that is the reasoning behind their poor showing in the election. Lies and false accusations are all they have to go on but nonetheless they persist. The Republicans have fractured our political system due to their own ignorance. Trump is a disease and Kamala is the cure.

Unfortunately, there are instances where the majority does not rule. I’m speaking of the times that it takes 60% of the votes in the senate. I never understood that.

I just heard about all the billions spent on this election. It’s crazy. Maybe it’s time to start taxing PACs with that tax dedicated to reducing the deficit or something.

Excellent idea! 50% tax — if they can’t be banned altogether. Pack the court! Reverse Citizens United.

I would put my money on a bet that most goes to campaigning the battleground states. If we got rid of the Electoral College that would help tremendously. One person, one vote. The winner of the popular vote wins.

Midwest, or outlaw them. They're just dark money caves.

Not sure if I'll be up at midnight. Lol. Thanks for all of your commentary these past few years. It's helped me stay sane despite all of the GOPee craziness and nonsense.

Winning elections is a Kinetic energy act.

We must Get The Voters Out to the Polling places to vote.

My question to the Republicans, who are hell bent upon interrupting the election process the best they can. How can we ever hold a fair and secure election if the members of their party won't allow our efforts to be realized. All the election disturbances are being conducted by the Republicans. The lack of election protocol by Trump's mob is indicative of what we would get if Donnie Boy was allowed to reenter the White House. There is a brand of golf ball which has the word "Chaos" printed boldly upon its surface. It's the ball Trump cheats with.

I have a suggestion to combat the “red mirage”. Do not allow any ballot count information out until all ballots are counted. I realize that the media loves the attention, but we would get used to it. The information should be kept quiet until all ballots are counted and a final tally given.

Pennsylvania is crucial, but they don't count mail in votes until in person votes have all been counted. And of course Trump cult members will be spreading lies like wildfire.

I suspect we won't know the winner for a few days, maybe not even until Saturday, when Pennsylvania finally announces their totals and/or if the Trump cult implodes.

I plan to go to bed at my usual time, having memories of trying to stay up "late enough" to learn who won Bush v. Gore.
