At the Coot Café...

... you can talk all night.

No sunrise photo today, but we were out there on the shore of Lake Mendota at 1:48, watching the coots.

Dixcus said...: ABCNews has called Pennsylvania for Harris a full week BEFORE the election.

She got 3,293,712 votes to Trump's 2,997,793 with 100% of precincts reporting.

They came out later and tried to call this a "mistake." And yes, it was a mistake to release the fake election results a week BEFORE the election.

ABC you had ONE JOB.; 10/30/24, 6:57 PM

Dixcus said...: Dude literally looks for ANY CHANCE he can to put his mouth on children.; 10/30/24, 7:28 PM
Big Mike said...: Biden’s “garbage” comment seems to have taken on a life all its own. It’s almost like a preference cascade — normal people everywhere seem to be thinking and saying the same thing. “Yeah, that’s what these bitches and sons of bitches really do think about us.” To paraphrase Sally Field, “You hate us, you really, hate us.” (All the while accusing us of being the “haters.”); 10/30/24, 7:30 PM

Nope. I have it on good authority not only doesn't this hurt the Harris campaign, but may even help her by adding new voters.; 10/30/24, 7:49 PM
Dixcus said...: Yeah, I read that on MSNBC, too. Also they claim that putting your mouth on kids you don't know really isn't WEIRD, according to Jeffrey Epstein Island visitor Bill Clinton.; 10/30/24, 7:56 PM
Iman said...: Beyond 9 months is “well-done” in Biden’s book.; 10/30/24, 8:01 PM
Dixcus said...: Kenya's Barack Obama: How'd everything get so divisive?"

Scranton's Joe Biden: "You're all a bunch of garbage Nazi deplorables."; 10/30/24, 8:29 PM
Big Mike said...: Well Jim, we shall see, won't we.; 10/30/24, 8:46 PM
Jersey Fled said...: Damn! He just stuck another baby’s foot in his mouth.

This is really sick.; 10/30/24, 8:48 PM
Josephbleau said...: Coots have red eyes and white beaks. Who among us have been not thus?

Coots and Cormorants. Lake birds. Divers, eat the fish birds, so they do.

Im so sad that lake birds eat fish and I want fish to make rockets to kill birds.; 10/30/24, 8:58 PM
Dixcus said...: This is naked Biden pedophilia and foot fetishism and the networks are filming it. They need to have their broadcast licenses revoked.; 10/30/24, 9:10 PM

Dixcus said...: CNN, 3 business days before the election:

Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday distanced herself from President Joe Biden’s comments that seemingly referred to Donald Trump’s supporters as “garbage,” setting off a political firestorm a week before Election Day.

Harris told reporters that she “strongly” disagrees with criticizing people based on who they vote for.

But of course when Hillary Clinton called Trump voters "deplorable and irredeemable" Harris agreed with her and never spoke out to "distance herself" from Clinton's remarks.

Point being you have a low-IQ presidential candidate backpedaling 3 days before the election and you have a smart, engaged leader driving a Garbage Truck to his massive rallies while everybody laughs at Democrats.; 10/30/24, 9:18 PM
Would You Like Fascism With That Hat said...: Trump's campaign finally showed him the real Pennsylvania internals.

"Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before. REPORT CHEATING TO AUTHORITIES. Law Enforcement must act, NOW!" ~@realDonaldTrump; 10/30/24, 9:50 PM
Jim at said...: Well Jim, we shall see, won't we.

Might want to tune up your /sarc meter.; 10/30/24, 9:52 PM
Would You Like Fascism With That Hat said...: So you *can* hold a rally at the Ellipse without thousands of your supporters being charged with federal crimes.

Who knew?; 10/30/24, 9:54 PM
Would You Like Fascism With That Hat said...: Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” in a webcam interview is a moral outrage. Here’s why Trump calling Harris supporters “garbage” at a rally is not.; 10/30/24, 9:56 PM
Would You Like Fascism With That Hat said...: "... calling Harris supporters 'vermin,' 'scum,' 'evil,' 'the enemy within,' and 'garbage' is not." 😏; 10/30/24, 9:57 PM
wildswan said...: Those birds don't seem to know there's an election on - I wish I didn't. At this point in every election the suspense becomes overwhelming for me. I can't read any more. No one knows. Trump was extremely amusing with his McDonald's/ Garbage man stunts in response to being called a Nazi. I thought of going into the poll today wearing a garbage bag poncho but I chickened out. I couldn't work out who the people around me were voting for. It was all Wisconsin nice but it made the suspense worse. There's nothing to think about and nothing more to do but wait. What about the illegals voting - who is polling them on how many have voted?; 10/30/24, 9:58 PM
Dixcus said...: It's pretty funny watching the employees of the Washington Post trashing the owner of the newspaper by printing horrible Op-Eds about him and then trying to figure out why people don't TRUST. THE. MEDIA.

If Jeff Bezos doesn't fire these people, then what is the POINT of owning one of the nation's most prestigious newspapers?

STOMP. THE. ROACHES. JEFF.; 10/30/24, 10:24 PM
