yikes! tons of empty seats in Atlanta just ahead of Trump's event there

Rep. Maria Salazar claims "more than 50,000" people were at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally. MSG's capacity is under 20,000, so no.

(Why are these people so addicted to lying about crowd sizes?)

WOW -- Trump fans in Atlanta start a loud "lock her up!" chant directed toward Kamala Harris.

There isn't even an allegation that she's done anything wrong, let alone criminal. They just want to imprison their political opponents.

"We're close to World War 2" -- Trump

(If Joe Biden did this the NYT would devote a special edition of the paper to calling his cognition into question)

Trump has been accused of sexual assault again. It matters. The media and the public should treat the issue seriously.

"The problem with the immediate assumption that something won’t matter is it can easily become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It gives the media an excuse to dismiss and ignore Trump’s vileness. And in this case it’s also insulting to survivors."

Wow -- Biden to Native Americans for abuses in Indian Boarding schools: "The federal government has never apologized for what happened. Until today. I formally apologize as president of the United States of America! ... it's long overdue. Quite frankly there's no excuse."

Trump in Texas: "The Congo -- that's a hot place right now ... It's not even believable actually when you think ... then you have the transgender operations all over the place."

Kamala Harris on Trump calling America a garbage can: America deserves better

My work here for the day is done!

Trump has been accused of sexual assault again. It matters. The media and the public should treat the issue seriously.

"Given Trump’s victory in 2016 and the media’s general indifference to his history of sexual misconduct since then, it’s easy to just assume that Williams’s allegations will have little impact and aren’t important. Cynicism seems justified.

But it isn’t."

Maria Bartiromo goads Rick Scott into pushing the great replacement conspiracy theory that has inspired numerous right-wing mass shooters

I know this is on the lower-end of importance, but we had a months-long discussion about Biden's physical/mental fitness and Donald Trump can barely hold up his own head.

"We don't want artificial foods." mf flip-flopped on mcdonalds in a DAY

Republicans set stage for PA vote counting shenanigans If you can't beat 'em, destroy the system.

New in PN: "Republican lawsuits send a message that anything except in-person voting on Nov. 5 is suspect. So if PA sees a repeat of 2020, where Trump leads on election day but loses when all ballots are counted, people are primed to see it as suspicious."

Nancy Mace claims this is "the election of our lifetime" and about "women's rights" because "Kamala Harris can't define what a woman is. She's gonna take the rights of women away. She's gonna set women back 100 years"

"Vote for Donald Trump. He's going to protect women," she adds

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart claims that in 2020 -- when we were quarantined at home amid mass death -- Trump "had this country in the best situation that we had been in in decades."

Mark Cuban on CNBC: I sat in front of restaurant owners and asked them 'what would it be like if you got a knock on your door and there was someone from Stephen Miller's squad asking you for the immigration status of everyone who works for you?' That's not how you run a country.

Liz Cheney: "I'm a conservative. I know that the most conservative of all conservative principles is being faithful to the constitution. And you have to choose in this race between someone who has been faithful to the constitution, who will be faithful, and Donald Trump."

Asked about threats against FEMA workers (that he inspired), Trump basically says they had it coming

Trump on his McDonald's photo op: "You never know about life. You never know what's good, what's bad. You do something that's gonna be great, it's ok. You do something that's supposed to be ok. This was supposed to be a routine stop and it turned into a monster. But it was a beautiful monster."

Trump, sounding very tired, refers to the shooting at his Butler rally as "the accident" during his interview with the Undertaker. He then exaggerates the attendance at some his rallies by as many as 50,000 people.
