Garbage Barge
Author: BobR

We are now 5 days away from Election Day. As one might expect from the Garbage Camp, they (and the PACs who act on his behest) are pulling out all the dirty tricks, lies, and intimidation they can think of to thwart the Will of the People. Whether it's via legislation, executive action, advertisements, or voter fraud and intimidation, they'll do whatever they can in their venal quest for power.
In Texas, the "Trump Klan" is threatening Harris voters:
The letter goes on threatening an IRS audit, which is bizarre.
As the saying goes, other Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud:
The tRump campaign denies they plan on repealing the ACA, which may be true, since he's admitted he only has "concepts of a plan". That hasn't stopped other Republicans from making their own plans (aka: Project 2025).
Then there's the claims, the ads, the bullshit, all of which is getting debunked, although - as the saying goes - once the cows are out of the barn, etc... The claims include that she was raised in Canada (like that's a bad thing?), that she said President Biden is "unstable", that the IRS endorsed her (what??)... it's just exhausting.
Even though it's still 5 days until the election, tRump is already claiming "rigged" in PA:
(bold-face mine)
It is ironic that the lawsuit is over mail-in ballots, considering that the tRump conspiracy theorists have been foaming at the mouth about them, and the supposed ease with using them to commit voter fraud (which is of course complete nonsense). That paranoia has led to several incidents of fires at ballot drop boxes in several areas of the country.
I know I'm yelling into an echo chamber here, but this is a must-win for Harris and the Dems, so we can finally get him out of the political arena for good. Yes, the fiery aftermath of his foray into campaigning will take years to die down, it will without him there as a totem to keep the garbage people enraged.
In Texas, the "Trump Klan" is threatening Harris voters:
In an election year that has been filled with ugliness, things are getting even worse in the Texas Hill Country as an individual or group calling itself the “Trump Klan” is leaving messages threatening would-be voters for Kamala Harris.
[...]
Citizens have found flyers attached to campaign signs saying the owner has been “identified” and is now in the group’s “National Database of miscreant Harris supporters.”
The flyer, in full, reads as follows:
Greetings!
You have been identified and are now in our National Database of miscreant Harris supporters, either by social interactions with your neighbors who are on our investigations team, or by yard signs, or vehicle bumper stickers.
The letter goes on threatening an IRS audit, which is bizarre.
As the saying goes, other Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud:
The Trump campaign continued its dance of bamboozlement on where the Republican Party actually stands when it comes to gutting the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on Tuesday night, after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) acknowledged that Republicans will tackle “massive reform” of Obamacare should Donald Trump win the presidency and the GOP keep the House.
The tRump campaign denies they plan on repealing the ACA, which may be true, since he's admitted he only has "concepts of a plan". That hasn't stopped other Republicans from making their own plans (aka: Project 2025).

Even though it's still 5 days until the election, tRump is already claiming "rigged" in PA:
The Trump-Vance campaign announced Wednesday that it had filed a lawsuit over alleged voter suppression in Pennsylvania, claiming without evidence that Bucks County was preventing Trump voters from participating in the 2024 election.
Speaking at a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, the night before, Republican National Committee Co-Chair Michael Whatley claimed that the Keystone State had been “turning away our voters.”
The campaign did not point to any instance in particular that led it to believe that voters had been treated unfairly in Bucks County, but county officials had observed that there were complaints on social media (shared by the Trump campaign) about long lines to obtain mail-in ballots on Tuesday, the last day of their availability.
It is ironic that the lawsuit is over mail-in ballots, considering that the tRump conspiracy theorists have been foaming at the mouth about them, and the supposed ease with using them to commit voter fraud (which is of course complete nonsense). That paranoia has led to several incidents of fires at ballot drop boxes in several areas of the country.
