How appropriate election day is November 5th. On that day in England, they burn effigies of their most infamous traitor

Of course, November 5th in England is celebrated as the day that Guido Fawkes’ ambitions to blow up the House of Lords came to end. That was back in 1605. He was caught red-handed, tortured, confessed, tried, and hanged, His treachery is remembered in England each November 5th on by burning effigies on “bonfire night.” Growing up in England, I have to say, it was always a lot of fun!

If there were a traitor in America with similar ambitions who was caught red-handed this November 5th…….well, I will just say that back then the Brits knew how to deal with traitors!

The lies just get more ridiculous. Trump: "Every single channel is calling it election interference."

At 6.27

"Every single channel is calling it election interference. They rigged the election."

Has the unsealing of these documents sealed Trump's fate?

Jack Smith appreciation thread. Thank you Jack! You are a true patriot!

Trump's mental illness crisis. AI gives examples of Trump's psychosis and the threat to every human on the planet.

I asked ChatGPT:
What quotes by Donald Trump in his speeches, interviews or social media indicate psychosis.


While it's essential to approach this topic carefully and understand that interpretation can vary widely, here are some quotes from Donald Trump that critics often cite as indicative of signs commonly associated with psychosis, such as grandiosity, paranoia, or a distorted sense of reality:

Grandiosity:

"I alone can fix it." (Republican National Convention, 2016) – This reflects an inflated sense of self-importance and control.

Paranoia:

"The media is the enemy of the people." (Tweet, 2017) – This suggests a belief that a major institution is conspiring against him.

Distorted Reality:

"I had the largest audience in the history of inauguration." (Interview, 2017) – This claim has been widely disputed and highlights a disconnect from factual reality.

Denial of Facts:

"Nobody knows more about [X] than me." (Various speeches) – This blanket assertion can indicate an exaggerated sense of knowledge and expertise.

Conspiratorial Thinking:

"They are out to get me." (Various speeches) – This reflects a belief in a widespread conspiracy against him.
These quotes illustrate perceptions of his rhetoric but should be interpreted within the broader context of political speech and personal style. A clinical assessment should always be left to professionals.


I then asked Chat GPT:
What are the dangers if the President of America had psychosis?


If the President of the United States were to experience psychosis, several potential dangers could arise:

Decision-Making Impairments: Psychosis can affect judgment and reasoning. The President might make impulsive or irrational decisions that could have significant consequences for national and international policies.

Communication Issues: Disorganized thinking could lead to unclear or contradictory statements, causing confusion among allies and adversaries and potentially escalating diplomatic tensions.

Public Safety Risks: Erratic behavior could lead to reckless actions, such as deploying military forces without proper justification or engaging in risky negotiations.

Undermining Trust: The public's trust in leadership could diminish, affecting not just the President's authority but also the stability of government institutions.

Political Instability: The situation could lead to a constitutional crisis if the President were deemed unfit to serve, potentially igniting political conflict or division.

Media Sensation and Misinformation: The media might amplify the situation, leading to misinformation and public panic, which could exacerbate social tensions.

Impact on Allies and Enemies: Allies might lose confidence in U.S. leadership, while adversaries might exploit the situation to advance their own agendas.

Addressing these risks would require careful monitoring and support from mental health professionals, as well as robust mechanisms for political accountability.

Finally, I asked:
What would be the dangers be, with respect to nuclear weapons, if a president had phychosis?

If a president with psychosis were in charge of nuclear weapons, the dangers could be catastrophic. Impaired judgment might lead to impulsive decisions regarding nuclear launches or threats, increasing the risk of accidental escalation. Miscommunication could result in misunderstandings with other nuclear powers, potentially triggering a crisis. Additionally, erratic behavior might undermine the established protocols for nuclear command and control, raising the likelihood of unauthorized use or mishandling of nuclear assets. This scenario could severely destabilize international relations and heighten global security risks.

538: Harris 55% chance of winning - basically similar to a coin toss. Why aren't we doing better?

Kamala takes a 5 point national lead in NBC poll as her favorability sees a historic surge.

With just over six weeks until Election Day, the poll finds Harris with a 5-point lead over former President Donald Trump among registered voters, 49% to 44%. While that result is within the margin of error, it’s a clear shift from July’s poll, when Trump was ahead by 2 points before President Joe Biden’s exit.

But the transformation in the presidential contest goes well beyond the horse race. For starters, Harris’ favorability has jumped 16 points since July, the largest increase for any politician in NBC News polling since then-President George W. Bush’s standing surged after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

SNIP

In July, 32% of registered voters had a positive view of Harris, versus 50% who saw her in a negative light (-18 net rating) — almost identical to Biden’s rating.

But in this new poll, Harris is now at 48% positive, 45% negative (+3).

No major-party presidential candidate in the 35-year history of the NBC News poll has seen this kind of jump in popularity in an election.

Other poll findings

On the recent debate between Harris and Trump, 29% said the Sept. 10 showdown made them more likely to support Harris, versus 12% who said it made them more likely to back Trump; 57% said it made no difference.

In the battle for control of Congress, 48% of registered voters prefer a Democratic-controlled Congress, compared with 46% who want Republicans in charge. (That’s essentially unchanged from July, when it was 47% Democratic, 46% Republican.)

And on Project 2025 — the conservative policy blueprint with ties to former Trump administration officials, which Democrats have featured in their campaign — a whopping 57% of voters have a negative view of it, versus just 4% who see it in a positive light.

Imagine being a MAGA! You not only have a miserable worldview, and you think that Kamala is going to destroy America,

but your candidate is falling further and further behind in the polls! Your only hope is another insurrection! But even that might fail again! Isn't it fun to imagine these things?

Kamala pulls away from Trump. Now at 64% chance of winning on 538. Trump 36%
