Likely not so much Russian as some say. Sure, they helped bring it into the open, but it has been a major republican theme for a long time. The big difference is they don't have to hide behind code words so much.

Agreed, but it is striking that they've become so overtly Nazi and Klan that he feels moved to finally speak out.

I don't credit the POSPOTUS team with much intelligence and insight, but I'm wondering a little bit whether the Asia tour was intentionally scheduled so that he would be out of the country on election day.

From ClimateTruth.org Action:

In the Vancouver, WA Port Commissioner race, two candidates faced off over the largest proposed oil-by-rail and export facility in the nation. Big Oil lobbyists poured over $350,000 into that election, a record for Washington state. But people power won out, and the thousands of calls and texts to voters paid off — bigtime! Don Orange won with a landslide 64.5% of the vote.

In Uwchlan, PA, Bill Miller and Mayme Baumann won their seats on the Town Board of Supervisors, and now will be able to challenge the Mariner East 2 pipeline. This pipeline would carry toxic gas right through the heart of Uwchlan, and 5 middle schools are within the blast zone.

This comes on the heels of his win for Best Halloween Poncho a week ago.

Somebody in Virginia got up and thought, "it won't matter, but what the hell - I think I'll vote."
