    Woke up this morning; the press doesn't think Trump is old
    Check the polls, and my stomach starts churnin'
    Went out and thought that Trump is no Jerry Ford
    He's big in Alabama but the tide ain't turnin'
    We've seen some hard lessons lately, but we ain't learnin'
    It's the same sad story and that's a fact
    One step up and coup steps back

    Celebrities on the stage in Houston, but they ain't singin'
    There's a red phone in the White House, but it ain't ringin'
    I'm standing here in the library line tonight
    But all I'm thinkin' is
    Its the same old story same old act
    One step up and coup steps back

    It's the same thing night after night
    Who's wrong baby it's the right
    Another fight and I slam the door on
    Another battle in our dirty little war
    When I look at the country I don't see
    The place I want it to be
    Somewhere along the line we slipped off track
    I'm caught movin' one step up and coup steps back

    This certainly adds context.

    But the first quote/Trump threat cited, in the first paragraph, is key.

    “If I become president — oh, do they have problems. They’re going to have such problems,” he warned.

    Bezos should've used the greatest tool of general-public influence that he owns right now to encourage people to vote to keep Trump from becoming President.

    If that (doesn't) happen...problem solved.

    Adding to the issue, of course, is the fact that this election is just thisclose, making decisions such as these by the Washington Post and L.A. Times in the past couple of days just so wrong.

    Was not searching for meaning in it, but just expressing annoyance.

    It does get to be a lot, for sure. Casting the net often.

    I'm not sure the Harris campaign can spend all the money it has right now with 10 days left. That's a good problem to have.

    I have to find evidence to support that statement. I’ve listened to probably 20 of his podcasts and he always sounds like a typical college sophomore who’s smoked way too much pot.

    A recording has emerged of ace Trump surrogate Elon Musk telling a telephone town hall of his Super PAC Americans will have to undergo "temporary hardship" under a Trump administration "so that we (!!!) can live within our means."

    I see them on other social media as well. At least in email, most of them default to a folder other than my main account, thank God.

    Most stayed. And not one of them will change their vote because Dear Leader showed up late. He serves his minions shit and they lap it up without a scintilla of thought.

    If for some reason a candidate is gonna be several hours late for a rally, no matter who, I think even his most devoted supporters would consider leaving without it affecting their support at all. People, even Trump voters, got lices.
