Right on, Stephanie Clifford...

It's a misogynistic, ignorant and dangerous myth that sex workers and adult filmmakers cannot be abused, raped or threatened.

Trickles of hope... and hoping for a wave!

Former Republican lieutenant governor of Georgia says he’s voting for Biden:
’This November, I am voting for a decent person I disagree with on policy over a criminal defendant without a moral compass,’ says Geoff Duncan

A campaign email I received from Ruben Gallego (vs. Kari Lake):

Re: The actions of djT's supporters on Jan.6, 2021, while he was at the Capitol:

"I won’t ever forget it...
Standing on the House floor. Hearing shouts, pounding, breaking glass. Barricading the door and teaching my colleagues how to use their gas masks. Texting my staff, telling them to hide. I carried a rifle in Iraq; all I had to defend myself on January 6th was a pen. But I was ready to fight.

And after that day, Trump’s loyalists crawled right back to him. Witnessing them reject what they lived through, watching them ignore the testimony of the police officers that defended us that day while they were beaten, bloodied, pepper sprayed, cursed at … it makes me sick.

Kari Lake thinks the January Sixers are patriots who were “invited in” — she even campaigns with them.
I think anyone who supports those terrorists and traitors shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the U.S. Senate.

This race in Arizona is just me and her. It’s on us to stop her march to more power and influence. Whoever wins in Arizona is going to determine which party holds the Senate and could even decide whether Trump takes back the White House.

I need you with me, and I need you to take this race seriously.

The (a) Biden vs. (b) Djt choice:

(a) is not a perfectly shiny apple, has some bruises...
so 'protest' voter will choose (b) -- an orange filled with poison.

Potential juror in djT's ongoing NY trial threatened by Defendant's supporters

"Potential Trump juror breaks silence on death threats since being recused from criminal trial.
Yikes. This is disturbing from a New Yorker who was not even chosen to serve."

Speaking on Thursday (2 May), Mr DeMuro told the ITV news programme about the content of the messages he received: “We know who you are, we know where you are, we are going to come and teach you a lesson.”

A very satirical, but frightening summary of djT's TIME interview:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/5/1/2238143/-9-of-Trump-s-most-disturbing-responses-from-his-terrible-Time-interview

(DailyKos) by by Aldous J Pennyfarthing for Community Contributors Team

Excerpt, regarding djT's intentions:

"To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland. He would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers. He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking with a tradition of independent law enforcement that dates from America’s founding. He is weighing pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury. He might not come to the aid of an attacked ally in Europe or Asia if he felt that country wasn’t paying enough for its own defense.

In addition, Trump would “gut” the U.S. civil service, send the National Guard to U.S. cities “as he sees fit,” close the White House pandemic-preparedness office (because apparently we were more than adequately prepared last time), and “staff his administration with acolytes who back his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen.”

In other words, he wants to be a dictator on Day One … and day two … and day 365 ... "

How could Muslims in the U. S. A. be convinced to vote for Biden in 2024

and not take votes away from him, therefore tipping the scales to Djt by selecting 'uncommitted' or not voting at all?
They must be aware that allowing Djt to be re-elected would be a plunge from the pan to the fire!
