If you factor in that Cuomo used to be a Democrat, and Mamdani is the official candidate of the Democratic party, combined they got over 90% of the vote in the NYC Mayoral Election, and the Republicans, with Sliwa, got less than 10%!

If Mamdani does a good job as Mayor of NYC after this election tonight, (and I think he will) some people will have realized their worst fears:

All the scariness of the term "Democratic Socialist" will no longer be effective!

I switched the TV over to FOX News for a bit tonight. It was so enjoyable to see all the glum faces over there.

They don't seem very happy about the election results.

I live in Michigan, so the NYC Mayoral Election doesn't really affect me, but I'd like to thank Curtis Sliwa, thanks to him, the record books will always say the Republican candidate in this race wasn't even able to get 10% of the vote.

Have you ever thought about how weird Republicans really are? They hate government and everything about it. They hate government jobs, government payroll, government pensions, and government healthcare.

Yet they spend so much time and money trying to get into a position giving them all that.

Watching MSNBC tonight, and they are talking about the elections tomorrow (w/music), and something hit me. The worst part about them separating from the NBC network in 12 days and becoming MS NOW, they will likely lose that iconic election music that both networks have shared for the past 21 years.

After seeing the AI video of Trump suited up, flying a fighter jet to the Top Gun theme, and dropping a "brown substance" on protesters below, it makes me wish for better days. When we had a better President, and his skit video was about getting along with an adversary.

Obama was right again. 14 and 1/2 years ago, he showed how if Trump were President, he would make the White House Gaudy! First it was all the tacky gold bling in the Oval, and now this shit!

Check for the video link in the first comment.

Does the sale of Dominion Voting Systems mean a transformation? Depends who's asking

Here are ideas for people planning to attend a No Kings rally on Saturday, to help protect info about yourself, in case you are targeted for harassment by any opposition.

Damn! It's worse than I thought in Chicago, just saw a video with Pritzker saying they're having to eat hot dogs, with ketchup!

Egads!

Ok, I know that's a Chi-Town thing, I actually like Ketchup, Mustard, Onions and Relish on hot dogs, but for Chicagonians to need to resort to that, pure horror!

If these immigrants are so "undocumented", how the Hell does ICE have a list of names, and more so, where to find them?

Sounds pretty documented to me

So, if the government is gonna shut down, does that mean that ICE will shutdown too?

Oh I'm just being silly, I'm sure they will find a way to keep that shit show going.

It's October 1st...

If October comes in like a Walrus, it will go out like an Ostrich.

...or something like that, with some animals and some month or something.

Whatever...

The plot thickens, people cancelling Hulu/Disney/ESPN, got the company's attention. It must have been a real bad time to have a bunch of people cancel, just before they hear about the new price increase, which also can cause people to cancel.

While streamer price hikes are normal business, the timing for Disney may be inopportune, as the company is still reckoning with widespread backlash over its handling of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

I was thinking about ordering some Steak n Shake, when I noticed they had new merch.

Then I decided to get a burger elsewhere.

Turns out this Biglari guy, the CEO/owner, is a huge Trumper. I didn't previously know.

There is no substantial proof that Tylenol causes autism.

In other news, there is strong evidence that getting involved in MAGA will make you as stupid as Bobby K. Jr.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Sometimes it's good to take a few minutes to focus away from politics, and put a little sanity back in my mind.

For the first day of Autumn, here is one of my favorite songs about Autumn.

One of the scariest thoughts is...

"What if a year from now, we are looking back at this period in time, fondly, as the good ol' days?"

Remember, good ol' days don't usually stand out that way at the time they are happening. It's only when they are seen from the rearview mirror.

REF: Kimmel

Among other things, media consolidation has another bad effect, it makes boycotting a company difficult to do, without an extended sacrifice across a much wider spectrum.

But, sometimes you need to sacrifice a little to make your voice heard.

To fully boycott ABC, also boycott...
