Sarah Scire reports that publications endorsing Harris, including the Philadelphia Inquirer and The Guardian, are capitalizing on the controversy Jeff Bezos has caused by yanking a Washington Post endorsement of Harris.

@jonathanpeterson I agree. Some months ago, I realized that, since I read The Guardian daily as my English-language newspaper of choice (I read online, of course), I needed to help fund them. So I did that and am happy I did so -- and when I can scrape together a few more pennies as an aged retiree, I think I'll add more to that fund!

@jami Thanks for that information. I need to look for more ways not to rely on Amazon now. I've never subscribed to Amazon Prime except when I ordered something on Amazon aned they told me mailing costs would be cancelled if I subscribed to Prime on a trial basis. I subscribed to get the free mailing, and then immediately unsubscribed.

@marksquires I share your jubilation that Philadelphia Inquirer is gaining from WaPo's unacceptable decision. If I remember aright, Will Bunch produces columns there. He's one of the very best.

But, here’s the thing: Trump supporters ARE garbage. Fascist, low information, garbage. -

@Joe_Hill To me, getting into shouting matches – which are all about dominance – isn't really helpful here. I'm honestly glad to leave the mudslinging to that group of folks and not to answer them in kind. That doesn't mean that I think we shouldn't push back hard, but that I think we need to consider the tools we use as we do so so that we don't become a mirror image of them. And I also suspect I'm not blameless when it comes to name-calling.

@Flowermob I agree. And it should also be noted that universities and colleges in general have been, for some years now, weaking their liberal arts curriculum and turning themselves into vocational schools of a sort.

@wdlindsy guess that makes Trump the garbage man of the world. I really wish he’d stop banging those cans so loudly.
Isn’t trashing your country at every turn the exact opposite of patriotism? Reagan, love him or hate him, would have been appalled by Trump, as should all republicans. I despise Reagan-omics, but he believed in America, for better or worse. I can’t say what Trump believes in. I only know what he hates. He clearly loves the sound of his own voice.

@pcbeard I think we're all ready to stop hearing the garbage cans bang! You're right, Trump is and always has been the antithesis of a patriot. And that makes the choice of a party that has claimed exclusive ownership of patriotism to run him as a candidate quite something.
