This is it ladies and gents. Tonight decides what tomorrow knows… Well actually it’s all but already been decided. The revelation of that decision is when we know whether January 21, 2025 dawns on a democracy or a dysfunctional police state that would make Idi Amin facepalm.
Vermont’s Republican Governor Phil Scott told reporters he defended the Constitution by voting for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, breaking with the Republican Party and its nominee, Donald Trump, Vermont Public Media reported.
“I did some soul searching and thought about a lot of different things — what would benefit Vermont, what I needed to do myself — and came to the conclusion that I had to put country over party, and do the same thing that I did four years ago when I voted for Joe Biden, and vote for Kamala Harris,” Scott said, virtually assuring a nuclear test on his state if Trump should somehow get back into office.
Scott previously announced that he would not vote for Trump, but he did not commit to voting for any other candidate, let alone the Democratic rival.
“A usually reliable source tells me that the North Korean soldiers who have deployed to Russia have never had unfettered access to the internet before. As a result, they are gorging on porn,” reports Financial Times chief foreign affairs correspondent Gideon Rachman. Copied that verbatim to not over-credit the sourcing, even if it sounds like it makes a lot of sense. Idle hands and all.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW TO TURN OUT THE TRUMP VOTE? CALLING, TEXTING, EMAILING, DRIVING TO THE POLLS?
TURN OUT THE VOTE!!!

“The only talk about massive cheating has come from one of the candidates, Donald J Trump. There is no factual basis whatsoever within law enforcement to support this wild allegation. We have invited complaints and allegations of improprieties all day. If Donald J Trump has any facts to support his wild allegations, we want them now. Right now. We are not holding our breath,” says Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in a statement responding to Trump’s meltdown.
“Philadelphia and Detroit! Heavy Law Enforcement is there!!!” the fat fuck posted afterward.
Meanwhile Politico’s Jonathan Martin reports more bomb threats are being called in to polling places in Atlanta from some desperate Russians who couldn’t think of anything more creative.
Equatorial Guinea Vice President Nguema Obiang Mangue on Tuesday wasn’t naming names but just said it: Too many government officials are using taxpayer time and property to fuck and it has to stop immediately, Reuters reports. “The executive is taking this decision following the videos of a sexual nature that have gone viral on social media in recent days and that denigrate the country’s image,” said the tiny West African country’s state information agency in a statement on the crisis.
It’s not clear why it’s the veep and not his boss, President Teodoro Obiang, speaking publicly about the crackdown, but it’d be hilarious if the job was handed to Mangue and he’s leading the anti-fucking in government offices task force as part of his vice presidential “portfolio,” kind of like the time Trump announced Mike Pence would lead the COVID-19 response so he could take the blame.
Anyway, the crackdown means increased security patrols in the buildings and more surveillance cameras to stop encounters that reportedly surfaced after a police raid on the home of a finance ministry official turned up hundreds of amateur porn clips of women who Reuters writes “appeared to include wives of other powerful government figures and other family members.” Yikes.
“A lot of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. Law Enforcement coming!!!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Tuesday, clearly agitated and impotent per usual.
It may or may not be a coincidence that Harris campaign officials tell the Washington Post’s Matt Viser they’re seeing high turnout among Puerto Rican voters in the city. Actually it probably isn’t a coincidence that the reporting among an ethnic group that his campaign managed to insult and piss off last week is leading Trump to freak out and make empty threats of “Law enforcement” coming.
And a Philadelphia Police source tells CNN they have no idea what the hell Trump’s talking about.

Huh… Why is it “Taco Martes” and not just “Taco Tuesday”? Like there’s already an English word in the name of the not-really authentic Mexican fast food chain. They don’t call it “Taco Campana” in Guatemala or Mexico or whatever other predominantly Spanish-speaking countries in which it operates, so clearly they’re not afraid of associating with the American origins of the brand. Which leads us to question why “Taco Tuesday” was too much of stretch for the marketing of the weekly celebration of “La Campana’s” namesake staple. And don’t even get us started on why it’s “Taco Martes” and they couldn’t even put an actual goddamned taco in the image but instead went with a Crunchwrap and a burrito. Might as well have added a few ketchup packets next to the fries too.
“An Ann Arbor, Michigan, man was charged in a federal criminal complaint today with sending a threatening communication, announced United States Attorney Dawn N Ison. Ison was joined in the announcement by Cheyvoryea Gibson, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Detroit Field Division. Charged was Isaac Sissel, 25, who is currently staying in Ann Arbor.”
“According to court records, on Nov 2, 2024, the FBI National Threat Operations Center in West Virginia received an anonymous online threatening submission. The threat read in part: ‘I shall carry out an attack against conservative christan, (sic) filth in the event trump wins the election. I have a stolen ar15 and a target I refuse to name so I can continue to get away with my plans. Without a specific victim or ability to find the place I hid the gun, there’s not a thing the FBI can do until I complete the attack.’ Sissel was arrested by the FBI this morning and will be making an appearance in federal court this afternoon,” says an Eastern District of Michigan press release.
Allies and advisers of convicted felon former President Trump are telling him he’s got nothing to lose by prematurely claiming victory on Tuesday night and he should do it if he’s got any 100,000+ vote lead in Pennsylvania even if the count is far from over, sources tell the Guardian. Others however, Steve Bannon included, have warned that it’ll make him look foolish if the race is closer than that.
All of it hinges on whether Trump travels from his private Mar-a-Lago watch party to a larger one for his campaign at the Palm Beach convention center, a situation which the paper’s Trump beat guy Hugo Lowell describes as fluid. “Trump’s aides have suggested if he does decide to announce himself as the winner, he will motorcade over from Mar-a-Lago, and if not, he might not make an appearance at all,” writes Lowell about how the night could go for the Orange God Emperor.
In other “Trumpworld” reporting, Puck’s Tara Palmeri on announced on the Tuesday edition of her podcast that she will not be reporting for Amazon Prime’s inaugural news broadcast from Mar-a-Lago as billed because her credentials have been yanked due to her pissing off one too many Trump minions with a recent story. Probably the one about them panicking over newly registered female turnout in Pennsylvania if we had to guess. The Washington Post meanwhile on Tuesday printed a valedictory for the fat fuck’s final (?) campaign on Tuesday, writing that Donald has lately “evinced some private doubt, especially compared with some of his advisers and allies. While his team has frequently predicted victory – citing internal polls, large crowds and what they say is an enthusiasm gap for Harris among key demographic groups – Trump has at times asked guarded questions, even after being shown polling that has him winning,” with Trump reacting by asking his sycophants “Why isn’t the national media saying we are going to win?” Unmentioned is that most if not all of that polling is complete horseshit concocted by right wing operations specifically to skew the averages.
Alcoholic shitbrain Rudy Giuliani cleared out his Manhattan condo last Thursday morning. Well all the valuable stuff, the New York Times reports on what workers sent by former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shae Moss found at the place when they came to collect his valuable possessions to satisfy the $148 million defamation judgment a federal jury awarded them.
In the condo were “rugs, a dining table, a few small pieces of furniture and inexpensive wall art,” per the Times while the “art, furniture and sports memorabilia” that was supposed to go to the mother-daughter duo were not. Rudy also fucked off on completing the paperwork necessary to hand the condo over to them, the workers told a judge on Monday. Even better, a Reuters photographer took a pic of the drunken former mayor in a Mercedes convertible outside of the Palm Beach, Florida polling station as convicted felon former President Trump voted on Tuesday morning. The convertible was already supposed to be signed over to Moss and Freeman to satisfy the judgment.
The leader of the Trump-supporting evangelical advocacy group My Faith Votes was arrested for having more than one hundred explicit sexual images of children under the age of 14, including some as young as eight or nine years old, the Religious News Service reports.
Fifty-five-year-old Minnesotan Jason Yates was arrested after a relative using his computer found scores of photos and videos showing children being raped. A vocal “christian” advocate, Yates published an op-ed in the Washington Times last July in which he warned perverted LGBTQ people would come “for the children.”
“We thought there could be a cultural truce, where at least we would be allowed to teach our families and our congregations in accordance with timeless values. Live and let live. So, we surrendered the public square. We retreated to the church pew and the living room couch. And something filled the vacuum. It is a religion without a god, a superstition without tradition. And it has come for our children.”
Turnout is mixed and not where we want it to be. We need more people to vote. We can't let turnout flatline.
Text everyone you know.
Make more noise.
We need more.

“Our officers just arrested a man who was stopped during our screening process at the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC). The man smelled like fuel, had a torch and a flare gun. The CVC is closed for tours for the day, while we investigate. We will provide more information when we can,” said the US Capitol Police in a statement and this day just keeps getting better and better if you love chaos.
House Republicans tell CBS’s Robert Costa they’re “privately preparing to possibly contest the election in Congress, to block the certification,” should their Holy Orange Messiah, convicted felon former President Trump lose which is about as “no shit” of a story we can get right now.
Speaking to reporters after he and his former illegal immigrant wife voted in Palm Beach, Florida on Tuesday, convicted felon former President Trump refused an easy opportunity to tell his fans not to injure or kill anyone should he lose the election, among other stupid shit like complaining about Oprah Winfrey and snapping at another reporter for asking him about Florida’s abortion referendum.
Several polling stations in Fulton County, Georgia were forced to close Tuesday in response to MAGA terrorist threats, WABE’s Sam Gringlas reports. Officials are seeking a court order to be permitted to keep them open later past closing time.
The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday tossed Missouri and Arkansas’s moronic lawsuit against the Biden Administration over the 2021 executive order simply stipulating “the head of each agency shall evaluate ways in which the agency can, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, promote voter registration and voter participation,” with the two economically depressed Red States claiming it was some sort of election rigging scam or whatever their fucking grievance was.
It’s not like there was ever a stay in place at the district level but the appellate defeat is still fun too see on election day. The horse is not just out of the barn but far over the horizon now.
Nobody should go to the Republican National Committee’s ProtectTheVote.com site and submit false reports of suspicious activity at polling precincts to confuse and annoy the shit out of their election integrity team. Don’t write a report of people in RFK Jr 2024 t-shirts handing out free donuts to people waiting in line at a voting site in Kenosha, Wisconsin because that would be a waste of their precious resources. They only have so many lawyers on the squad in the state.
Even worse would be if you told the RNC you witnessed people in QAnon t-shirts informing voters outside of a suburban Maricopa County, Arizona polling station that President Trump was friends with Jeffrey Epstein – and showing them photographic evidence of that friendship – which means he’s a traitor the cause of protecting underage children from sex trafficking. It would be a really shitty thing to do if you falsely reported that a UAW member was telling voters in Macomb County, Michigan that Elon Musk is anti-labor and won’t allow Tesla autoworkers to form a union.
Please just leave the RNC’s election integrity team alone. They’ve got enough on their plate today.
