In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

I live in florida (Central florida) , and I did mail in 2024 and I did get sample ballot in the mail a few days ago, today is oct 20th, should I receive a mail in ballot in a few days, … I’m not worried, just want to make sure, I shouldn’t have to take any action, the ballot will come. Did you receive your mail in ballot in florida (I’m in my 70’s) … so I’m ready to vote for MAGA. 🙂
I checked a few minutes ago, so I did search and found that mail in voting has to be submitted by Oct 22. … so I filled out the form, and one will be sent to me.
So you have only 2 days until OCT 22 to ask for mail in ballot. I guess every year stuff changes.
I got email with conformation I asked for mail in ballot with right info.
I don’t know your situation but the wife and I got in the car today and drove 25 minutes to our early voting location. We were in and out in about 10 minutes. I prefer to vote in person even though I do realize that is not convenient for some folks.
If they have to be submitted by Oct. 22, 2 days is not enough time for them to mail you a ballot and you to mail it back in time.
Mail can take a week to get where it’s going.
I’d go pick it up or vote in person this time.
It isn’t 2 days to get the ballot returned – it’s 2 days to ASK for a ballot 😉
oh…. Phew!
Still cutting it close tho.
Hope the mail cooperates with the Vote deadline.
In the state of Washington, mail in ballots are the only way you can vote. I don’t trust the system one bit here, so I never mail my ballot in, I wait until the afternoon on voting day and hand deliver our ballots to the box at the voting office. At least that way they have less time to cheat in my view.
I live in central florida but in dem county. I pray and hope my vote gets counted. I have no car and retired. So I need mail in ballot. If I had a car, I would go to polling place.
I hope Sundance maybe makes a thread on deadlines for doing mail-in ballots for the different states… since I just thought I would get a mail in ballot, glad I followed INTUITIVE impulse to bring up the topic today on OCT 20th.
So retired people need to have this info, I believe, since voting laws do change year to year.
Ask a friend/neighbor for a ride?
Or splurge on a taxi?
Or go on Nextdoor and ask for a ride to the Polls.
Bet someone would give you a ride, happily.
Do you have a friend who could drive you to vote? As you know, every vote is needed this year – again.
yep. That’s what I did out there , too.
I received mine a couple weeks ago in St. Johns County. Already mailed it in.
I’d call them just to make sure yours is on the way.
We NEED your vote!!
Really hoping you can get to the Polls and just do walk-in this year!
I’m sure you can get a ride just by asking on Nextdoor.

Everything Trump said Today on Truth Social (October 20th)
76%…that is more than the Canadian poll numbers were reporting!
Alberta votes overwhelmingly to remain part of Canada in referendum
I stayed out of the conversation and read both sides.
I put myself in the shoes that if some group here next to the border wanted
to join Mexico…🤬🤬🤬
I would view them as the worst traitors!
I have no use for a group or organization
so willing to kick their own country to the curb!
And Canada can keep them there. I have no use for traitors…
whether on our 🇺🇸 Northern or Southern borders.
The next time they complain about something from Ottawa, they will get no sympathy from me.
Yep
Idiots.
JD Vance says Nick Shirley will get reward for Minnesota fraud reporting
Nick will need to share that reward with David, the construction guy who compiled the data on the Somali learing centers and led Nick around town to do the filming.
No shade on Nick. Just recognition for David’s good work.

UPDATE: After I asked about the video featuring Dr. Amy Acton’s mom, I received this response via email just now:
—
Connie Luck, spokesperson for the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign:
“We don’t know what happened between Amy and her mother, who first spoke out about Amy in 2020, but we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth that the public needs to be aware of before deciding who to entrust as governor.
“Ohioans are struggling with rising costs and need a governor who can help them. Vivek wants the election to focus on how to solve these problems, but unfortunately Amy Acton has repeatedly resorted to lying about Vivek and his family, lying about her own record, and then hiding from debates and hiding from voters by barring cameras at her own events.
“Amy Acton has serious questions to answer about her statements during COVID, her attacks on Vivek, and her failure to disclose her own multiple police reports for domestic incidents to the governor, including one instance where police had to stop her from driving a car after she had been drinking and using prescription drugs. Everyone who knows her best — her former boss, her former state colleagues, her fellow physicians, and now her own mother — are clearly warning Ohioans not to vote for her. Ohioans deserve to know that.

What a bitter old loser.
Miserable end of life.
Don’t let any bitter root grow.

Sad how he actually sounds a lot like the dead dirtbag, McStain.
Traitors gotta trait.
Hard to tell, this *might* be AI/SI generated.
It’s been a while so did a quick look at the National Debt Clock. A new section has been added, toward the bottom, showing the Sovereign Wealth Reserve, so a good reminder that while the doom gloomers continue to stare at the ‘deficit’, it’s just as important to look at what is quietly being built, a sovereign wealth fund, where the Trump Administration continues to right the balance between Main Street vs Wall Street:

Not related, but when you have nothing in the tank…..
“Taoiseach flings accusation of past ‘Nazi’ support at Sinn Féin in Dáil row
Mary Lou McDonald accused the government of “moving away from peacekeeping and towards military adventurism”.

I was looking at the State of Maryland’s Declaration of Rights from 1776. Article XXXV reads as follows:
“That no other test or qualification ought to be required, on admission to any office of trust or profit, than such oath of support and fidelity to this State, and such oath of office, as shall be directed by this Convention or the Legislature of this State, and a declaration of a belief in the Christian religion.”
It does make one wonder what the Founding Fathers foresaw if faith was not an underpinning to public service.
