I think it will be Rice or Harris. I'm very much cheering for Harris, but will vote for Biden regardless. My HOA "doesn't allow" political signs until 30 days before an election and bans all other forms of political advertising. Yet- my neighbors and some houses a few blocks away are proudly flying Trump flags. I will at minimum be getting a yard sign and might go full-blown obnoxious with decorating if it's Harris or Abrams. Aren’t you in TX? TX state law says you can 90 days before election, and it supersedes HOA rules. It’s why I have my Wendy Davis for Congress sign out already. 👿 See section 259.002 statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/EL/htm/EL.259.htmYes- I'm in TX. That would explain why the flag reappeared last week. My house sized Biden sign will be sooooo beautiful! LOL

Definitely a distraction. I was surprised because a few of the influencers I follow were actually talking about BLM and claiming to commit themselves to anti-racist work. Then all of a sudden they were talking about Wayfair conspiracies and trafficking. This isn't to say trafficking isn't real and doesn't happen but the timing is suspect.

Last week was a very shit week, for many reasons. I'm really gonna need that VP pick asap as possible, please.
If it is Whitmer I would probably slam my hand in my car door. I would be ok with any of the others but would really prefer a Black woman. I feel like Susan Rice has a lot of good experience but she just falls so flat for me and we need some energizing personality on this ticket.

PDQ. JukEboX my issue with the people who are posting is that they posture about being concerned and wanting to fix it....but they completely disregard the fact that it is BIPOC children, migrant children, impoverished children, etc that are most in danger of being trafficked and continue to support politicians and policies that create environments that endanger those children most at risk. I posted the below on my FB last week. Any guesses as to who shared it, who was the most vocal in horror? NOT my FB friends who have been vocal on child trafficking. No, it was my liberal friends who were horrified, as usual. The ones vocal on child trafficking were conspicuously silent on this particular post. Edited to remove FB post

100% posturing and distraction. These people posting about child trafficking don’t give a fuck about children of color. And they’re not going to do a damn thing to stop trafficking. And they will be the first to condemn a young girl who is pregnant by rape who gets an abortion. It’s total disingenuous bullshit to make themselves feel morally superior.

And the fact they are trying to praise Trump for his response to it, but unwilling to remember his connection to Epstein rings so false to me.

I like to respond with "oh did you JUST find out about this" in response to all the sudden posting about child trafficking. Its been a thing for literally FOREVER. They tried the ped angle with clinton as well, Pizzagate? And then all the sudden just like that they stopped caring until 30 days ago.
I'm not discounting it being a very real problem, but at the same time, dont pretend that you didn't know it was already happening. And are choosing to use this issue to deflect from what BIPOC are trying to get done in this moment in time.

So obviously they're vetting their sources closely. (the Hanks theory is debunked, there is no evidence he's involved in anything). It's another distraction technique.

Remember when all these geniuses busted a pizza joint with a sex trafficking ring in the basement, in a building that doesn't have a basement? Yeah.
These people are completely unhinged

These people are completely unhinged And they are the same people who think Tom Hanks is a pedophile because he got Greek citizenship and bought a house in Greece. Nothing to do with the fact that he likes to Travel and US passports are crap these days, so maybe get another one if ya can?

Apparently Trump stepped away from his presser after getting a note from an aide - reportedly someone was shot on premises by Secret Service (?)

For VP pick- I will be shocked if it’s not Rice or Harris. I need him to release his pick so I can finally buy a yard sign. Actually, like 7 yard signs. My list of people to buy them for keeps growing. We went to my parents this weekend - they live in an “active adult” community and it looks like the Trump campaign vomited all over their neighborhood. I was horrified. My mom is horrified. I’m getting her a sign. My neighbor across the street is flying a massive trump flag. I might see if I can outdo him on size. Could be a fun dick measuring contest. Lol exactly what I was thinking this morning. Just PICK (Harris)

I know obviously we shouldn’t expect something more eloquent from him, but my GOSH. I was talking to my mom today and they went to do early voting for their primaries in FL and she was like “I’m just so worried about the big election. Who knows how it will turn out. We just don’t know.” And it made me so nervous and anxiety. I came home and opened a cider.

I’ve seen her speak twice - once at her book tour and once at her campaign launch and I highly recommend the experience. So much energy.

Omg DD still talks about when we got to meet Kamala and she signed our copy of Heroes are Everywhere.
Actually we were video chatting with my goddaughter this morning and DD asked, "Hey, (goddaughter), have you met Kamala?" 🤣🤣🤣

Out of curiosity, has anyone heard of or following Frank Nitty II's March from Milw to DC? He's on day 7 and is moving through Indiana. He's live streaming most of it and his experience has been interesting. Edit:he's a black activist and organizer and his group has been marching every single day since the George Floyd murder.
