Nine will decide
"Some of the challenges could have and should have been brought a long time ago. Those the court won't entertain," said Alan Morrison, an associate dean at George Washington Law School.


By the end of the week the SCOTUS could find itself having to quickly decide multiple election questions from PA, North Carolina, Mississippi and Nevada. L
awsuits brought by both parties. The election of 2020 was marked by democrat attorney Marc Elias getting state election laws altered via judge shopping. Thus far the Supreme Court has tried to stay out of the election. The Court also has a policy of trying to avoid changing election rules too close to an election. The Court has shown far more integrity when it comes to avoiding election interference, yet there are cases that couldn't have been resolved sooner or where lower-court rulings could have dramatic consequences. 

The leading case involves the DOJ suing the state of Virginia which simply wants to keep illegal migrants from voting. The DOJ has cited the terrible National Voter Registration Act. A provision of that law, known as the Quiet Period Provision, requires states to complete programs that systematically remove ineligible voters from registration lists by 90 days before the election. The Act passed in 1993 makes voting easily manipulated by fraud. Both Alabama and Virginia are involved, and 26 state AGs have now come forward to support Virginia in the appeal.

A Mississippi law passed in 2020, election officials count mail ballots that are received up to five business days after Election Day, so long as they are postmarked on or before Election Day. The Mississippi Republican Party, the Republican National Committee, and two Mississippi voters sued the state and county election officials in January, arguing this practice violates a federal law establishing a uniform, nationwide Election Day by extending the election into the following week. the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit struck down the Mississippi law this past Friday.

The Pennsylvania Republican Party and the Republican National Committee sued all 67 county boards of elections and the secretary of state to challenge Pennsylvania's notice-and-cure policy, under which voters who cast ballots by mail are notified about and given a chance to fix technical errors with their ballots. The democrat party is fighting back tooth & nail.

In Michigan Republicans claimed the state does not have accurate voter rolls and argued that failing to comply with voter-list maintenance obligations required by federal law threatened to undermine the integrity of the election by increasing the chance for allegedly ineligible voters to cast ballots.

With District Courts leaning in different directions on all of these issues, the SCOTUS may have to take up cases.


In the news:

Ukraine is bracing for North Korean troops fighting alongside Russian forces. Thousands of North Korean soldiers are now in Russia’s west. Volodymyr Zelensky has been pushing Western leaders to support a plan that he says could end the war next year.

The Israeli Parliament passed laws that could limit some of the work of the UN's UNRWA, the main U.N. agency that aids Palestinians, as questions have begun to arise about what it is involved in.

Steve Bannon, the strategist who helped elect Trump in 2016, was released from prison this morning. He was one of the very few people to ever be prosecuted for ignoring a congressional subpoena. “I’m not broken, I’m empowered,” he said.

In Brazil, criminals are increasingly using chemicals rather than saws for deforestation. More than a third of the world’s trees are at risk of extinction certain scientists claim. 

The Trump campaign denounced a warmup-comedian's offensive jokes in record time the other day. Many Republicans also denounced the remarks.

CBS still refuses to release the full text of the 60 Minutes interview of Kamala Harris.

Good morning

The Nevada Supreme Court ruled that ballots arriving 3 days after the Election will be counted.

We’re talking about a minuscule number of ballots inadvertently missing their postmark.  In your opinion it’s more important to strip voting rights from a handful of innocent people than to assume the obvious and count the votes that will have a negligible impact on the outcome.

The ruling noted that plaintiffs identified just 24 ballots among more than 383,000 cast statewide in the June primaries in Nevada as having no postmark, and attributed postmark errors to "random postal service omissions.” Two-thirds of ballots cast in Nevada primaries arrived by mail, according to Secretary of State records .

Following elections  laws is election integrity.  If judges  can just ignore democratically passed laws  on a whim, you have no rules. 

If the number of votes is meaningless, why set the precedent that running  roughshod over the rule of law is fine and dandy?

In the cited example, the percentage of ballots missing a postmark was 0.006266%.  In addition to being much ado about nothing, the money spent on litigating it unfathomably wasteful.  The micron of juice is not worth the squeeze.

People with more than half a brain who know that it's perfectly legal to vote by mail and many of those ballots that are sent in and date stamped on time get counted after election day. There is nothing sinister or illegal or fraudulent and most rational persons know this, only irrational conspiracy theorists create fiction and bullshit narratives to explain things their tiny, uninformed or deluded brains can't grasp.

People with more than half a brain know this is about shaving a point or two off of razor close districts. The advent of mail in voting is a Republican idea. It only became bad when Trump lost that demographic. MAGA is so bad now that the FBI is investigating multiple drop box arson fires.

MSNBC used Nazi rally clips during its coverage of former President Donald Trump’s historic campaign event at Madison Square Garden in a desperate last-ditch bid to frighten voters into supporting the floundering Democratic ticket.

The left-wing network weaved archival footage from the 1939 Nazi rally into the broadcast of Trump’s Sunday rally, which saw the iconic New York City venue packed to the rafters with jubilant supporters.

“That jamboree happening right now, in that place, is particularly chilling, because in 1939, more than 20,000 supporters of a different fascist leader – Adolf Hitler – packed the Garden for a so-called ‘pro-America rally,’” Washington Post columnist, MSNBC contributor and avowed Trump hater Jonathan Capehart said breathlessly while rolling the footage.

Tesla founder Elon Musk, who spoke at the rally, also blasted MSNBC — the No. 2 cable news network — as the “scum of the Earth” on X, and some critics even went so far as to accuse the network of “ incitement .”

The media has completely folded to Trump. Back in the day if a campaign event had unleashed the torrent of hate we saw in New York the other day , the media would have been calling far and wide for that candidate to end his campaign.  Imagine if this travesty happened at a Nixon campaign event, he would have been on tv an hour later begging for voters to still consider him.  In our current cesspool the VP candidate Vance wants to know "whats the big deal?" 

To say we have debased the campaigning process, or more specifically Trump has debased the campaigning process is a vast understatement.

The facts didnt change after Jan 6 2021, the Republican Party did.  All those who flat out condemned Trump on Jan 7 came around shortly thereafter to the point where they now bow and scrape before him. 

Donrt get me started on the rank and file.  I said on Newstalkers at this time 8 years ago that eventually Trump supporters would be a much bigger problem in this country than Trump himself.  That was when they were uproaring about how horrible it was for Hillary Clinton to call half of Trump supporters "deplorable".  The only thing she got wrong was the percentage but I doubt she missed by much.

No, the media has not folded to Trump.  But, after eight years, there's no way to make new revelations more exciting than the last one.  Even Democrats' exploding heads have become derivative.  Democrats need a new drug.

Kamala Harris is on the stump repeating the news.  Harris ain't revealing insider info or saying anything new.  After eight years of the same drumbeat, Democrats think more of the same will change people's minds?

Trump's longest standing chief of staff, ★★★★ General Mark Kelly, stated that he believes Trump is a fascist (and definitely an authoritarian).

This is not some partisan talking head gratuitously and recklessly tossing about derogatory labels.   This is a serious individual who worked closely with Trump in office — someone who steers clear of making public political statements — doing something very unusual because (I suspect) he believes it is his duty to inform the electorate before we vote.

Stating an assessment based on strong, direct evidence is quite different from mere name-calling.

But, of course, you deliver a big nuh-uh and dismiss all criticism of Trump as nothing but bullshit.

First of all, listen to the analysis from these two Republicans (who now identify as former Republicans) against Trump.

Then we have this reporting (one of many):  

Former president  Donald Trump  hosted a rally where speakers made numerous vulgar and racist remarks inside New York's Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Speakers at the rally called Vice President  Kamala Harris , the Democratic nominee, "the Antichrist" and attacked  Hillary Clinton , the Democratic nominee eight years ago, as a "sick son of a b****."

Speakers also made racist comments about Latinos and Black people, both key voting blocs in the election that is just over a week away. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe branded Puerto Rico  a "floating island of garbage,"  said Latinos love "making babies" and joked about "carving watermelons" with a Black friend for Halloween, while radio host Sid Rosenberg called the event "a Nazi rally."

Here,  Newsweek  rounds up some of the most shocking comments made at the rally.

Donald Trump at a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden on October 27, 2024, in New York City. Several speakers made vulgar and racist remarks at the rally. 

'Floating Island of Garbage'

Tony Hinchcliffe, a stand-up comic, said: "I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it's called Puerto Rico."

Trump senior adviser Danielle Alvarez  told  Newsweek  that the "joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign."

'These Latinos, They Love Making Babies'

"Believe it or not, people, I welcome migrants to the United States of America with open arms. And by open arms, I mean like this," Hinchcliffe said, while waiving his hands and mouthing: "No, go back."

He added: "It's wild. And these Latinos, they love making babies too, just know that. They do, they do. There's no pulling out. They don't do that. They come inside, just like they did to our country."

'We Carved Watermelons Together'

Hinchcliffe also pointed to a man in the audience before saying: "That's cool, Black guy with a thing on his head. What the hell is that, a lamp shade? Look at this guy! Oh, my goodness. Wow! I'm just kidding, that's one of my buddies. He had a Halloween party last night. We had fun, we carved watermelons together. It was awesome!"

Harris Is 'the Antichrist'

"In fact, she is the devil, whoever screamed that out. She is Antichrist," said David Rem, a sanitation worker billed as Trump's childhood friend, although it has been reported the pair met for the first time just two weeks ago.

Harris and 'Pimp Handlers'

"Kamala Harris is the least qualified candidate to ever run for any political office in American history," businessman Grant Cardone told the crowd.

"She makes her boss look competent. She's a fake. I'm not here to invalidate her. She's a fake, a fraud. She's a pretender. Her and her pimp handlers will destroy our country. They will."

'Nazi rally'

"I just got back from Israel about two weeks ago. They love Trump in Israel. Just you know, they love him," radio personality Sid Rosenberg said.

"I get back and they go, 'Sid, you want to speak at this MSG thing?' I go, 'Sure—out of character for me to speak at a Nazi rally. I was just in Israel.' But I took the gig."

'Sick Son of a B****'

"She is some sick b******, that Hillary Clinton, huh?" Rosenberg said. "What a sick son of a b****. The whole f****** party. A bunch of degenerates. Lowlives, Jew-haters, and lowlives. Every one of 'em. Every one of 'em."

 Do you not recognize the remarkable change of message / tone / philosophy in the Trump-infected GOP compared to the GOP of Reagan (and before)?

You think these things are poutrage bad, but you have never spoke negatively about Harris and her lemmings constant drum beat of Trump AND his supporters are nazis and are the same as Hitler.

I acknowledged the comic and the shitty joke he made about Puerto Ricans. He is an insult comic and the other jokes were expected. I don't know if you are old enough to remember but back in the 70s there was an insult comic named Don Rickles. His jokes were very similar in taste, and I am sure that if you are old enough, you laughed at them....like 90 percent of the country did. Get over it.

The rest of the jokes were actually funny, especially never going to a nazi gig one. Very few paople argue that Harris is not a bitch, so, meh. 

BTW...Bill Kristol is a loser never Trumper who covered up pedophilia within the Lincoln Project organization. Not exactly a source I would lean on to prove a point.

Bullshit.   You know damn well that I was favoring Chris Sununu and that I supported and contributed financially to the campaign of Nikki Haley.   When she dropped out and left us with Trump, my position turned to using my vote in the most effective way to prevent Trump from becoming PotUS.

When Biden dropped out, I switched from strictly anti-Trump to support for the Harris-Walz ticket.

I have seen repeatedly that partisans cannot believe that anyone is non-partisan.   Thus we see crap like the mere support for a D makes you a D.

A fine test for blind partisanship nowadays is an intention to vote for Trump given he is by far the worst, most unfit nominee for PotUS in our lifetimes and likely in our nation's history.

Maybe you have not been paying attention, but Ds here and the left wing media have been incessantly saying there is a distinct parallel between Trump's MSG rally and the NAZI rally of 1939.

That is the same as calling Trump supporters nazis

Will you condemn this rhetoric?

Making that comparison is not the Ds calling the GOP members Nazis.   It was a comparison of the rhetoric.   I will not even ask if you see the similarity between the nationalist, racist rhetoric of Trump, et. al. and that of Hitler since I expect you to deny it even if you actually do recognize it.

There is a difference between pointing out similarity in rhetoric and calling individuals Nazis.   You should know this.

They seem to forget their god and goddess Bill and Hillary both held rallies at MSG. Same with FDR and JFK

They don't see the irony in trying to compare rallies held there to nazi rallies. 

For some reason I can't get anyone to condemn comparing Trump supporters to nazis.

On second thought, I think a more accurate assessment is that a vote for Trump at this stage is a fine test for cultish behavior.

But in both cases, no test is 100% accurate so this is a predominant test, not an absolute test.

The left-wing network weaved archival footage from the 1939 Nazi rally into the broadcast of Trump’s Sunday rally, which saw the iconic New York City venue packed to the rafters with jubilant supporters.

Well, at least we now know that NYC is a sanctuary for NAZIs.

To conclude that Trump or Harris is winning is emotional, not rational.
