Are You Optimistic About The Election?

From Fleabag:

Not only am I optimistic, I am fired up and excited as hell. I haven't felt the joy, the enthusiasm, or the optimism like this since 2008.

I almost — almost, not quite because we're all still recovering from the Trump traumas — want to believe that this feeling, shared by so many other people, represents a fever breaking in America, a rejection and repudiation of the people who did their best to lead us into a dystopian, fascist, nightmare.

We have a huge fight ahead of us. They aren't running a campaign as much as they are preparing for another coup, and we will have to turn out an incredible number of voters to account for all the places they have people in place to deny and contest when he loses.

Before the debate, I was concerned. After the debate, I was despondent.

But now, I am fired up and excited as hell. Kamala Harris is going to be an incredible president, and there's a good chance she pulls the House and Senate with her. If that happens, we get SCOTUS reform, Trump faces the music for his crimes without interference, (and maybe some of his co-conspirators go with him, Mark Meadows), and we push the demons Trump unleashed back into the darkness where they belong.

But it only happens when ALL OF US turn out to vote. It only happens when we get all of our friends and family to vote. It only happens when we volunteer, stay involved, and SHOW UP.

We can do this.

We have to do this.

We are not going back.

VOTE BLUE!

OMG…

And I swear to blog, the first pedant's comment on BirdChan was, "It's not even a good impersonation of him."

I was so startled I didn't notice it was paid for by Eric Swalwell for Congress.

Not Belittling Anyone Who Still Uses an AOL Email Account, But…

Always the Victim, Part One Million…

From Palmer Report:

Everything about Donald Trump and his campaign keeps getting weirder. That's turning out to be true even when it comes to scandals in which Trump is the apparent victim. Someone apparently hacked into the Trump 2024 campaign and stole internal campaign documents and sent them to Politico. The Trump campaign is suggesting that Iran was behind it. But Politico says that it received the documents from someone with an aol.com email address.

We're not in any way making fun of AOL email. There are plenty of people who have kept their AOL email address around for thirty years, and if anything it points to someone who was an internet early adopter. But what hacker uses their AOL personal email address to send hacked documents to a major news outlet? We're not exactly talking about high level espionage here.

Yet the Donald Trump campaign wants us to believe that the government of Iran hacked into the campaign and then sent stolen documents to Politico using an aol.com email address. Uh, no. This sounds like the work of an amateur low level hacker at best. If anything it suggests that the Trump 2024 campaign is rinky dink enough to get hacked by just about anyone. They're just so weird.
