Today feels like the calm before the storm.

mongo म्हणाले...

Me. I intended to vote early but the line was out the door. Maryland voters want to get over 80% for Harris.

Dixcus म्हणाले...

The far more important question is: Who is COUNTING the votes tomorrow. Do you know who they are? Do you know who they donate to? What party they belong to?

It's not about who votes. It's about who COUNTS the votes and who REPORTS the person who won.

Which side is the media on who will tell you who won?

Vance म्हणाले...

Why? I've never seen anyone make a single coherent argument in favor of Harris. It's all "TrumpHitlerRacistIHateAmericaREEEEE!" stuff that we hear as reason to vote Commila.

Dixcus म्हणाले...

Let them waste their efforts. The popular vote means NOTHING in a Constitutional Republic.

Dixcus म्हणाले...

Georgetown University's school of public policy is preparing for the election aftermath by organizing "self-care suites" for students featuring coloring books, Legos, milk and cookies.

They seem to know who is going to win the election and that the children attending their school of PUBLIC POLICY will be needing some LEGOS to play with tomorrow.

Here in Oklahoma today was the storm before the calm before the storm. Tornado sirens don't usually sound early on a November morning, so I was surprised to have to jump out of bed to take shelter. Fortunately, the storm cells didn't produce any tornados.

MadisonMan म्हणाले...

I'll be voting tomorrow. The big question: WILL THERE BE A BAKE SALE!?

Big Mike म्हणाले...

Not me. Wife and I voted last week. Good news: in the trash can on the way out from the early voting facility I saw that Republican sample ballots outnumbered Democrat sample ballots 12 to 2. Bad news: how’d we get as many as 2 Democrats in the Shenandoah Valley?

Narr म्हणाले...

I voted last week, in anticipation of being on jury duty this week.

Welp, I waited in the jury pool of 300 people from 9am to 330pm, during which they called the names of about half of us for three judges who needed jurors, all before lunch.

At 330 they told the rest of us we were done for ten years--no more jurors would be required tomorrow or for the rest of the week.

Not what I anticipated, but no disappointment either.

rehajm म्हणाले...

We’re going to try our little community voting precinct. Will see how it goes…

I did see more yard signs today than usual. Quite a few for Harris, not so many for Trump, but more than either for some of the downticket races

Aggie म्हणाले...

Wife & I got it out of the way last week, and it's been a nice and peaceful feeling since. Somehow, it has stripped the effectiveness of any political subject discussion or ad - it's been nice just to receive what interests me and tune out the political races completely.

Well that explains why they threw mud at the king and queen there. I didn't like it when I heard about it, but it makes perfect sense now.

Leland म्हणाले...

I voted two weeks ago. I couldn’t wait… for the election season to be over. Nor could I wait in long lines tomorrow.

tim in vermont म्हणाले...

I wonder if the person, who didn't even live in New York State, who called in the death squad on P'Nut the Squirrel because his account was "right wing" think it all worked out great for them.

It's hard to sanction a country to its knees when it is sitting on way more resources of every kind than it needs for its own use, and you desperately need to buy those resources yourself.

If Trump wins, I will buy a new firearm. I wile while away the days of legal challenges trying to decide which one is worthy of the occasion. Or, perhaps a Vortex scope….

Iman म्हणाले...

If Trump wanted to do harm to America, he would’ve done it during his term.

If Kamala Harris wanted to do good things for America, she would’ve done SOMETHING/ANYTHING good during the last 4 years.

Gospace म्हणाले...

My wife and I, both. We will not be cancelling each other's vote. She'll be voting the straight Republican line and NO on Proposition 1, the extra special rights amendment for the mentally ill. I'll be voting the straight Republican ticket- on the Conservative Party line. And No on Proposition 1. TBH- I'd be really happy if the Conservative line got more votes then the Republican line for POTUS so they would take 2nd place on the ballot instead of third. The rules for a party to automatically get a ballot line line were rejiggered a few years back specifically to knock the Working Families Party from their automatic line. Threaten to run a different liberal candidate against Schumer? Well, we'll see about that!

Iman म्हणाले...

Excellent point… humorous and true, as well.

It figures that Barthelona would be blue.

Gospace म्हणाले...

I have a Facebook friend who friend requested me from a genealogy group- we're not face to face friends. He decided to post a missive on his feed explaining who he was voting for and why. Second paragraph gushed about Kamala and all her great accomplishments! As far as I read. And I replied and told so- couldn't get past the idiocy he expressed. Well, he replied back, of course, accusing me of not wanting to address his reasons for not wanting Trump. My exact reply was- "If your opening argument is delusional, there's no reason to believe that anything that follows is not also delusional!" He took down his post. I don't know who all his Facebook friends are, but my comment got more likes then his post...

I don't write long missives on Facebook. IMHO, the vast supply of photomemes liberals have provided us with for this election are more then enough argument to vote against them at every level of government. And this is addressed in a previous Althouse post- A First Amendment montage. Only one side in this election wants to demolish the Bill of Rights. The Democrats. At every level of government. The lightbringer™, IIRC, refers to our rights as "Negative rights" and has stated they should all be replaced with "positive rights". Problem with positive rights- someone else must pay for them.

That was one of his stupidest notions. The rights in the Bill of Rights are not "negative." Free speech, the right to bear arms, are not "negative." The 3rd and 4th are basically about the sanctity of the home (and private property more generally). The 5th-7th involve the right to due process. And so on. The only thing negative about the BoR is that it restricts the government from infringing on these rights, something no doubt he and other would-be authoritarians find irritating.

RCOCEAN II म्हणाले...

So Hugh hewitt walked off a WaPo show on Friday, and later quit the WaPo. So, after remaining silent I was curious what he would say today. And he posted a Youtube video called "Hugh Hewitt on Anger and the Whole Story". I watched it, and...it reminded me why I dislike Hugh Hewitt. After a lame joke, talking about current events, and blah blahing about he's a Catholic and Midwesterner, and he doesn't get angry blah, blah, he finally got to the point.

And said, he loves Ruth Marcus, he has tons of Leftwing friends, and he hopes they all love him. And that quitting the WaPo had nothing to do with the walkout. And talked about how he admired everyone at the WaPo and the Show first things and named everyone except the host Capehart.

And that's it. A complete cuck as usual. The Controlled opposition that had to kick back (a little) or be a complete laughing stock.

Gospace म्हणाले...

Around here, it's actually election day dinners at local churches. I'll have to see if there are any turkey dinners tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder!

BarrySanders20 म्हणाले...

Me. Hoping for split federal government with at least one branch of the legislature different from that of the president. No on the local school money grab (it was only three years ago that they convinced we locals to approve a $120 million tax hike for those same schools). I suppose it's rational for them to keep coming back, especially if they get more money every time. Lotsa lefties in the community now, and nearly every house with a Harris sign has a "Vote Yes!" sign too.
Speaking of signs, at least around here, the lefties fill the yard with them. It must be social capital to them. Or maybe its a religion where they feel the need to proselytise. Certainly the door knockers were all D's, just like the Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists. At least the regular religious types are interesting to talk with. The political religionists are tedious and I pity them.
The houses around here that don't have signs are presumptively R households, and the American flag is now a reliable indicator as well. Crazy it's come to that.

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

I'm turning in my ballot tomorrow. Even though I could have already mailed it in, I always physically bring it into a polling location on election day. No mail or drop boxes for me.

In the past my opposition to DJT has resulted in me picking a third option, it's very hard for me to pick anyone other than an R, so I have gone with a third option.

This time I'm going to go w/ KDH. As a religious conservative that would like to keep the government out of our damn business (as Tampon Tim may put it), I don't see a benefit to an even more lopsided SCOTUS, etc. Anywho, my state (WA) doesn't matter, so the Trump folks that makeup the vast majority of this blog doesn't need to worry about my vote.

And, I will go with the R for every other option on the ballot. Cause I do believe Rs are better at governing. But Althouse has recently been pushing the idea that the parties have switched. So maybe now we have idiot bleeding heart Rs, and we have hard-nosed, sensible, cut to the chase Ds that do know how to manage.

It's so confusing. I'll just stick with the person that didn't, in the middle of a rally, simulate giving a blowjob to a microphone. I know, I know......I set up a bunch of you to talk about KDH having sexual relationships. And such sexual relationships tend to include the woman suck cock, and the man eating pussy.

So go ahead and tell us about KDH being a human woman with Brown and so on.

There's a chance that you only have a.bit more to do this thing you folks keep doing. Or you may. be able to keep repeating it for up to eight years.

Time will tell.

If I can remember it, I'll put my flag out tomorrow.

Eva Marie म्हणाले...

Joe Rogan just endorsed Donald Trump (via CFP). Great news.

Lem Vibe Bandit म्हणाले...

The phrase “I’m the type of person” should be retired from the English language. Immediately! 😑

Gospace म्हणाले...

I understand exactly what you mean. But I also understand the concept expressed by the lightbringer™. The Bill of Rights says what the government can't do to the people. Not what the government must do for the people. Actually, Article 1 Section 8, if it were followed, would severely reduce the size of government. No Department of Education, no .. no lots of things. In fact, for fun, got to https://www.usa.gov/agency-index and decide on many of these should be just plain out eliminated. Over half on the first page.

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

According to Wharton, just looking at the numbers, it is $1.2 trillion v $5.8 trillion. If you decided to go with more math extrapolation fun you can get to $2 trillion v $4.1 trillion. So only double re further destroying the deficit of the US.

Joe was probably hoping to have Kamala on.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

From Byron Donalds via X:

Obama called us Clingers.
Hillary called us Deplorables.
Kamala called us Fascists.
Walz called us Nazis.
Biden called us Garbage.
Mark Cuban called us Weak & Stupid.

Now Kathy Hochul says we’re Un-American.

They want division.
We want unity.
And tomorrow we will UNITE AMERICA.


He’s a very articulate man. Yes,

James K म्हणाले...

And none of what Biden and Obama have inflicted on us will go away. For that we would need at least 55-45 in the Senate and about a 20 seat margin in the House, given all the RINOs who are afraid to go against the Deep State.

Whether it’s Harris calling the United States the greatest country in the world or Trump calling it a giant trashcan, both candidates have expressed provocative opinions about this country of ours.

Drago म्हणाले...

LOL

I was very "impressed" by the half-filled high gymnasium that kamala-la-la-la filled by paying and bussing in "supporters".

A scenario not unlike the paid astroturfed "harry sisson's" of Teh Interwebs posting the most inane gaslighting nonsense that wouldn't pass muster on an elementary school playground........

Drago म्हणाले...

Looks like the reports of the kamala-la-la-la meltdowns behind the scenes which began last week are true and are accelerating.

Not to worry LLR-democratical Rich. The deep staters have your back with their latest Russia Russia Russia lies launched just today.......launched in desperation and as the first step in the potential post-election fall back strategy outlined by none other than Jamie Raskin.

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

I dunno Big M.

If you read who BHO was talking about it's a very specific and precise population, you're not included. Hillary was talking about half of the Rs, maybe you're deplorable so you are one of those. KDH was talking about exactly one person (i.e. DJT) when she agreed with the POV of the Marine General that worked as closely as possible w/ DJT. I don't know the Waltz comment (but at least he didn't call you a dipshit), Biden explicitly said that he had an apostrophe so he was only calling Hinchcliffe garbage (unless you are Hinchcliffe this doesn't apply to you). Cuban was talking about a sub-group of women (i.e. those not like DJT's daughter that is super close to him, but has abandoned trying to promote his election.)

"They want division.
We want unity.
And tomorrow we will UNITE AMERICA."

Right, DJT is the uniter. Unite Americans in a never-ending circle of hating each other. I guess that's a sort of uniting. Uniting in division is DJT's speciality.

Gospace म्हणाले...

I'll be replacing my flags tomorrow- the wind does a number on them. If after the vote counting is over Trump wins, I'll order a 50 star flag to replace the Bennington 76 flag I've been flying since early 2021. I'll put it up inauguration day.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

@Sprezzatura, did you just fall out of a coconut tree? Starting in 2008 Barack Obama deliberately initiated a political strategy of dividing people by race and ethnicity, and setting them at each others' throats. Ever since then Democrats have taken the position that unity can come only if Republicans unite with the Democrats, but unity will be a bit hard to achieve as long as Democrats keep referring to Normal people as Deplorables, Fascists, Nazis, and Garbage,. Unity can only come through uniting with people who want to unite. That should be obvious.

Indeed.

We've been in a state of ethnic Springs since Obama/Biden, sustained under Biden/Harris. Black lives... no lives matter. Hate has been a progressive condition under Divesity ideology that discriminates by race, sex, age, and other classes. All's fair in lust and abortion?

No idea about Seventh Day Adventists, but in your experience, Mormons are “all D’s”? That’s about as far from my experience as you can get.

Sprezzy imagines "KDH" would stay out of his damn business. I rarely respond with this but..absolutely LOL. Start with his carbon footstomping cars and houses relative to "equity". Better hope he doesn't get the hard nose cut to the chase approach he voted for.

walter म्हणाले...

Btw, have you initiated a "migrant" uptake renovation since we last spoke? Hop to it.

Heh… yes, that they do. Placing a Ring doorbell at our main gate is one of the best decisions we’ve made in the last few years. We miss all of that “interaction”.

For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.
