“Trump Is Unfit To Serve”

And other newsworthy items

Today, one hundred and eleven GOP officials backed Harris for President. In a letter to the public, the signatories wrote that Trump is “unfit to serve.” They wrote that although they disagree with Harris on many issues, “Mr. Trump had demonstrated dangerous qualities.” Those include, “contempt for the norms of decent, ethical and lawful behavior.”

“As president,” the letter said, “he promoted daily chaos in government, praised our enemies and undermined our allies, politicized the military and disparaged our veterans, prioritized his personal interest above American interests and betrayed our values, democracy and this country’s founding documents.”

Why can’t more Republicans come out and say these things? We are less than two months from the election, we need more of them to speak up.

Speaking of the GOP, Sara Huckabee Sanders attacked Harris today for not having children, implying that because she did not biologically have kids, she is not “grounded.” How dare Sanders. I have been a feminist all my life, and by that I mean I believe in a woman’s rights to live her life as she so chooses. That means having kids, being a stay-at-home mom, working outside of the home, not having kids, adopting kids, not marrying, getting married, living with someone, being queer, being transgender female. Hearing a woman disparage another woman is heartbreaking. As Madeline Albright said many years ago, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t support women.”

CBS reported that a false claim that VP Harris was involved in a June 2011 hit-and-run incident that left a 13-year-old girl paralyzed was created by a Russian troll farm.

There were protests in front of the NY Times today, with signs that said, “Stop Sane-Washing Trump”,” from the twitter account of Andrew Laufer, Esq. It alarms me how often the mainstream media does this.

The Teamsters said they will not endorse a presidential candidate, and that’s a blow to Harris, because by not endorsing her, they are creating an equivilancy. Apparently, the Teamsters are very divided. To me — and I know very little about Teamsters — it reflects a white male preference for Trump.

This kind of news worries me. It also shows how volitile all this is: last week, if you recall my writing, I felt Trumpism was waning. Now I’m not so sure.

Taylor Swift famously endorsed Harris after the debate; now George Clooney is getting back into a verbal feud with Trump, who can’t stand when celebs diss him. Clooney was on Jimmy Kimmel last night, and responding to Trump telling him to get out of politics, Clooney said,

“I will if he does. That’s a trade-off I’d do.”

I wonder who else could get under his skin with a Harris endorsement?

Does it matter?
