Can't wait for the day when President Harris locks up all these traitors and throws away the keys. Meanwhile, I don't know how you it Mr. Signorile, reporting on all this craziness and talking to lots of crazy people day in and day out. I admire you more than I can say and am grateful for your coverage and your full-throated defense of American democracy.

Agree. Journalists who report the truth, as is their job, deserve our utmost respect and gratitude. Especially during times of societal division. There is only ONE truth, and honest, fearless journalists tell it. Thank you Michelangelo, for being a beacon of journalistic integrity.

THANK YOU!! This will be the first time since, oh Jimmy Carter, maybe, that a Democratic Administration is literally NOT cleaning up shit from the GOP when it comes the economy. That should make it a bit easier to tackle the STRUCTURAL political dangers, like the filibuster, the Supreme Court, and the Electoral College. They all must be addressed.

Agree Catherine, the structural dangers must get fixed; hopefully we get a “trifecta.”

Hope you are doing well.

Musk is Trump even deeper more vile id.

Neither cares if garbage&refuse is picked up.

These two men born into enormous privilege will trash Social Security&Medicare, Obamacare. The ppl in the Villages are in for an enormous surprise if Trump wins.

Infra structure?

Education?

Elon Musk has more power than some elected officials and he won't be bothered being a very rich man in a 3rd world America. Even the poorer countries have the super-rich. Tax them into harmlessness. Money is speech is the very essence of the power that Musk wields thanks to Roberts the "conservative" Catholic on SCOTUS. This is way too big to be quelled by Trump's defeat alone, and if Musk has the ability to disrupt our election, then Biden and Harris should refuse to turn over the White House and let the MAGAs do their worst. SCOTUS has no enforcement power so we can tell them to fuck off.

Same here! It's as if those executives in charge of the media are just Trump's NYC gala/Studio 54 buddies, and the reporters are desperate for some Newscorpse cash. That and Primal Scream are a very underrated band that never got their due in the states.

So Trump is going to have in his cabinet some billionaire illegal immigrant from South Africa who can't even put a sentence together, let alone a vehicle?

So where is the repub concern about the economy?? Seems like praising dictators, trashing immigrants, women etc has been OK, and now setting the economy ablaze is OK? Hitting Medicare and SS?

I'm so over this election, all the polls swinging one way or the other, all the venom towards women, the horrible MSG hate fest. I don't even have a word for Trump in the garbage scow. I knew he was getting back at Biden's comment but I bet a lot of people didn't know that and thought it was more trashing Puerto Rico, the US and whatever he likes to trash.

I'm so hoping he dug his political grave, and that we can move on to a hopeful future. Of course we will have to endure weeks if not months of claims of election fraud, probably some violence, Ugh.

A few days ago Michelangelo said "We are here for you" Thank you for that!!

Biden boom! Let's keep the momentum going by voting blue! I voted a week ago in Maryland and I am looking forward to having Kamla Harris as President, Tim Walz as Vice President and Angela Alsobrooks as the junior Senator from Maryland!

Hi Sakina, I'm not too optimistic about FL turning blue. At the polls, I saw an awful lot of nasty people giving me the finger on their way to vote. It was about 1 car out of 5 that gave me a thumbs up. I was passing out Dem slate cards. Our wish is to unseat pRick Scott and have Debbie Mucarsel-Powell win as our senator. It would be great to have one Dem Senator from FL. The local races are tough also. So, fingers crossed and I hope I'm dancing election night. GO DEMS!!

Well those finger wavers may not be so happy when their SS and Medicare benefits are gutted.

Thanks so much, Sakina. There are so many nice people down here, but we are stuck with the nasty ring-wingers who moved here because of their admiration for Governor DeSatan. Now he's using tax-payer money to defeat the abortion amendment. He's a horror!! I'm happy you are in a blue state.

Keeping the positivity going Sakina. Love will overpower hate. The majority of Americans want joy; Drumpf hate mongers are not the majority nationally.

Trump will indeed turn America into a tiny economic and political pond, and I am sure that the billionaires and corporatists who have made him, do not care.

It is the "do you want to be a little fish in a big pond,or a big fish in a little pond. These people have to know that humanity is on it's last legs, that we passed the tipping point and are on the cusp of the end of the antrhopocene., yet they press on as Lenin said of capitalists and rope.

The only thing that matters for them is today, and they foolishly believe that they have, like squirrels, put away enough nuts, in the form of retreats, to weather the storm.

Problem is that they are not self sustaining and a work force and steady supply of food, material, supplies, workers and guards are needed.

There is a paradox at work here. China and Russia are no more as independent as the U.S., Were it not for American consumers and government, American investment and technology, China would be the same as when it was run by Mao.

Same with Russia, Russia rose with the fall of the iron curtain , and investment from the west

Nationalism won't work in a Global economy, but the tangerine man wants to suck every dime out of the country and run his own psychotic empire. He can enjoy his money as the planet burns up, along with this $$.

Nationalism seems to be working for Trump, Putin, Xi and Un, and that is all they care about.

Could it also be that Trump and Musk want to weaken the U.S. on the world stage, thereby emboldening Putin's Russia to further invade more NATO countries? Such a move would increase China's world presence and crush democracies worldwide as well. Trump is inane and Musk is insanely drunk with the idea of having political power. But a landslide Harris's political election victory would spoil the hideous and corrupt Robert's Court from doing Trump's bidding. Taking back the House would secure Harris's confirmation as the President of the United States and free Jack Smith to pursue criminal charges against Trump and his ilk. I'm quite sure that a Harris Administration with a Democratic Congress would nullify the Supreme Court by adding and appointing more justices on it.
