"At a rally this evening near Green Bay, Wisconsin, Trump said his team had advised him to stop talking about how he was going to protect women by ending crime and making sure they don’t have to be 'thinking about abortion.”'

Obeidallah focuses on what happened recently in Neptune, Florida, where a group of teens waving Trump flags gathered at an early voting site to harrass voters, with one teen, Caleb James Williams, pulling out a machete and brandishing it at two female voters.

And in South Carolina, a man has just verbally assaulted Black women working at the polls.

@wdlindsy
At one point, I hoped the many former Trump officials and other well-known Republicans who have endorsed Kamala Harris might make a big difference in this election by persuading Republican voters to cross over and support Harris. But Republicans have shown a lot of party loyalty in the past, more than Democrats, and MAGA Republicans will show even more party loyalty since they are dogmatic in their right-wing beliefs regardless of the truth. I hope that I'm wrong, or that enough independents vote for Harris to make the difference, or that enthusiasm for Harris results in a surge in her voter turnout that makes the difference.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

Obeidallah sums up his report:

"First, Trump and the GOP came for a women’s reproductive freedom. Now they are coming for their right to freely vote. Those are the stakes."

The message: We MAGA bros will protect you. You will no longer have to worry your pretty little heads about abortion or voting or thinking for yourself. We're here to take care of all of that for you. You hear?

@wdlindsy Sounds like a win/win for her. Vote for someone sane AND get out of a toxic marriage.

[martinvermeer@fediscience.org]

@wdlindsy Why they want to do away with no-fault divorce... they correctly understand that they are pricing themselves out of any free market.

"When Donald Trump gets pouty and shouty, his aides have a repertoire of ways to cheer him up, like telling him his crowds are the biggest, showing him flattering headlines from rightwing outlets, or watching videos of children being taken from their parents at the border in 2018. But to really help him feel better, there’s nothing like letting him sit in a big truck like a big boy!"

Overcompensation much?

Donald Trump Rode Around In A Big Garbage Truck, Vroom-Vroom!

No subtle metaphor there.

@wdlindsy It's a secret ballot - she can vote as she pleases.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

Heather Cox Richardson quotes MSNBC's Katie Phang, who watched Trump's garbage truck shtick and stated,

“Trump stumbles, drags his right leg, almost falls over, and tries at least three times to open the door…. Some transparency with Trump’s medical records would be nice.”

On Friday, October 25, at a town hall held on his social media platform X, Elon Musk told the audience that if Trump wins, he expects to work in a Cabinet-level position to cut the federal government.

Jill Filipovic characterizes this election as "the misogyny election," stating,

"Women are dying from abortion bans while conservatives are angry about their wives voting for Kamala."

The Misogyny Election

"Ok listeners, put on a Harris cap, I know a place full of women" - Andrew Tate's latest scheme so stay alert out there

[philip_cardella@historians.social]

@wdlindsy Do we really need to know anything else about these guys? "Oh shit, we can't have women voting we'll lose!"

Ummmm... I know that was the argument until 1920 but I thought we moved on from that.

[stephaniemoore@mastodon.online]

@wdlindsy Well, they plan to just dismantle the DOE anyway.

This reminds me … driving in today, I passed a church sign that said “Vote Godly” and just burst out laughing.

The 1950s are taking a bow and they're delighted that some people still remembers those glory days for women.

Alicia Norman responds to Trump's statement that he'll protect women whether they like it or not:

Trump says he will protect women whether we like it or not

Adjudicated rapist says what now?

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

"Donald Trump, mind you, has been found civilly responsible for rape. He has been accused by multiple women of rape (including his ex-wife Ivana), of sexual assault, of groping. He has bragged about grabbing women by the pussy without asking. He has bragged about being the reason Dobbs was overturned. Because he is the reason Dobbs was overturned."

Trump Once Again Excited To Do Things Whether The Woman Likes It Or Not

Sort of a consistent theme with this one, no?

(www.wonkette.com)

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

"He is the reason women in many states are being forced to have children against their will & cannot get treatment for their miscarriages. Every woman that dies or has her reproductive future decimated because of those laws is his fault. And he will make it worse because regardless of what he says now, he will absolutely use the Comstock laws to make it illegal to mail anything to do with abortion.

No one needs protection by him, but we sure as hell need protection from him."

@wdlindsy

If possible we need a lawyer group to sue those states. I'd donate, for sure.

The only think these states will understand is getting sued fior tens of millions.

[neadreport@social.vivaldi.net]

@wdlindsy When do you think Trump last opened a car door for himself? I bet his security detail opens his private bathroom door for him. He doesn't even open kitchen cabinet doors. He's most at home getting in and out of a golf cart... why? You guessed it: no doors.
