Sadly, the Washington Post’s failure to endorse Harris sparked huge protest from its entire staff, perfectly described in Ruth Marcus in her 10/25 opinion piece entitled “The wrong choice at the worst possible time” in which she strongly protests the Post’s owner Jeff Bezos cowardness. The LA Times Editorials editor resigns after the Times owner blocks a Presidential endorsement!

With less than 10 days until November 5th the chance of Trump’s victory should put any voters who have not voted to go for Harris if they value democracy over tyranny.
NBC News in an article entitled “Trump records a 3-hour interview with Joe Rogan about the election, Harris and whales” about Trump’s latest rantings simply underlines the growing madness of those who would elect Trump to facilitate their greedy objectives.
Here NBC’s full text of this piece horrifies any rational voter
In a highly anticipated interview, Donald Trump touched on a wide range of cultural and political issues Friday night in an three-hour conversation with Joe Rogan, who hosts one of the biggest podcasts in the world.
The recording went on so long that Trump arrived several hours late to his rally that night in Traverse City, Mich. Frustrated at having to wait so long, many people left.
The Rogan interview is a continuation of Trump turning to nontraditional media outlets, including podcasts, in the weeks leading up to Election Day. Rogan also invited Vice President Kamala Harris to do an interview, but her campaign has declined. Rogan’s podcast has more than 17 million YouTube subscribers.
Much of the interview, which was put online around 10 p.m. Friday night, was rehashed commentary Trump has expressed throughout the campaign.
He said the war in Ukraine would never have happened if he were president, complained about moderators not fact-checking Vice President Kamala Harris enough during her one debate with Trump, blasted the traditional media, did things like continue to frame Harris and Democrats as more dangerous than foreign foes and dabbled in conspiratorial talk about the 2020 election being stolen.
Rogan at one point asked Trump to provide examples of how the 2020 election was stolen, as he has long falsely claimed. Trump gave a largely rambling answer that touched on election law changes that he said did not get proper legislative approval.
“They were supposed to get legislative approval to do the things they did, and they didn’t get it,” Trump said, referencing changes that made it easier to vote during the height of the pandemic.
Trump, who is running for his second White House term and would not be able to run for a third term if he wins, said it would be his last election “if I win.” He was noncommittal on whether he would run again if he loses.
“If I win, that’ll be, this will be my last election,” he said. “But I think I owe it to the country. We have to have fair elections.”
This is the prompt.

The purchase of our republic by the greed of people such as Elon Musk to assure the flow of government money for his SpaceX program or the spinelessness of so many elected GOP Congressional members or the Christian nationalists pumped with black anti-choice money or the still hypnotized MAGA GOP voters combine to put the US on the chasm of disaster.
