The alleged ABC. whistleblower has released an affidavit about Kamala getting the questions ahead of time. I haven’t found a mainstream story about it yet, only sites like The Hindustan Times, which I seem to recall are Trump loyalists? ---

Pure fiction until proven otherwise. **[The Hindustani Times article](https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/abc-whistleblower-alleging-harris-vs-trump-debate-was-rigged-died-in-a-car-crash-mtgs-claims-fuel-speculations-101726411563691-amp.html)** even lets on that there’s no basis to the claim. ---

Ah ok, good to know. I think maybe I was conflating it for some reason with Modi and Trump being close? Sone weird twisting of half-remembered news on my part. Thanks for fighting my ignorance. ---

Compare what brought those guys down to trump. The fucker has big glitches right in the middle of his rants, and it’s cognitive dissonance with the MAGATs. The mouthbreathers behind him never even notice. That shows how much they pay attention to what he says. And his enablers in Congress, who fucking know better, make up fabulous narratives to explain the latest foul shit coming out his mouth. A pox on all those traitors. ---

As I’ve said before, folks who supported Trump in 2016 get a pass; he is, after all a consummate conman. 2020 and after they’re either willfully ignorant or willing\* to destroy the country to advance their interests. \*Eager, even. ---

My brother, who is quite smart and successful(and in no way MAGA adjacent), told me several months ago that he was going to vote for Trump. That shocked and saddened me more than I can express. He admitted he doesn’t follow politics but “Biden clearly has dementia and what other choice is there?” (Cue our parents, rotating in their graves.) Anyway, today my SIL said that after the Trump/Harris debate he said “no fucking way will I ever vote for that lunatic”. That made me happy personally, and gave me hope that he’s just one of thousands that had their mind changed. ---
