Sorry, gang; crazy morning. I haven't had a chance to check any of the news yet, and won't have a chance until maybe later today.

In #2 JCM said: Good morning Deplorable Garbage People!

Heh. How many pejoratives can we string together to describe ourselves? Deplorable garbage crazy people?

I tried to do a Google search for "epithets hurled at conservatives in the US", but it clearly failed. One of the results I got was for a Las Vegas Sun article, where they calling Trump and us seriously crazy: 

One of the most astonishing features of this political moment in America is that the far right is openly proclaiming horrific ideas and yet the public seems to shrug and act as if they are not to be taken seriously.

Former President Donald Trump has promised to round up Latinos into concentration camps and weaponize the justice system to persecute those who disagree with him. He uses direct Nazi quotes to talk about immigrants. He proudly announces his intention to be a dictator and yet the GOP, and too much of America, just looks the other way.

Expressing horrible thoughts about America and their fellow Americans is the overriding theme of today’s far right.

Where do they get this idea that Trump is talking about concentration camps?

The left keeps doing it, they haven't figured out it doesn't bother us in the least and we have fun with it.

The stupidity! It hurts!

World Gay Group Bans Only Middle Eastern Country That Doesn’t Ban Gays

ILGAWorld, the International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association, has gone ahead and banned the one country in the Middle East that doesn’t ban gays.

Ironically, Israel is about the only country in the Middle East to even have an ILGA member group to ban. The rest of the Arab Muslim world bans gay groups. It’s so bad that ILGA doesn’t even list the Middle East as a region and its regional countries are limited to Israel and Turkey.

Having banned Israel, it’s now limited to Turkey whose Islamist regime will get around to banning its LGBTQ groups sooner or later. Islamist police routinely arrest people at gay pride events.

The scariest Halloween costume I can think of would be "President Harris"

Even Cthulu isn't that scary.

By far, the scariest Halloween lawn decorations I see in my neighborhood are the Harris Walz signs.

But I am feeling cautiously optimistic about next week’s results.

My town has way more Trump/Vance signs, but a richer town nearby has a lot of Harris/Walz signs. The same town that had a lot of Bernie signs back in the day. But it still has a fair number of Trump signs. 

It's probably too late to make garbage cans labled "Trump Voter"

I think Harris/Walz signs will be useful during a zombie apocalypse to make it seem there are no brains in that house./

Anyone up for a Halloween pub thread? Any jukeboxes would tend to be late, though.
