If I were of a conspiratorial mindset, I'd suggest that the managers manipulated the union to strick, knowing that this would redound to Trump's benefit. The reality is I just think Trump is the luckiest SOB on earth.

Lucky?

I wouldn't trade my post-earth future with his for all the golden toilets in the universe.

One can only hope there is divine (or post-earthly existence) justice, since it's unlikely he'll face it on this earth.

Hope his luck runs out after Nov. the fifth.

If it's lopsided for Harris, yeah Nov 5. If Harris wins in a close vote, it's gonna be a long, tense and possibly violent slog that may not end until Jan 20, 2025.

I think that we can count on a certain level of violence if Trump loses, no matter by how much. He has basically promised it to us, and that's one promise that he means to keep. We can deplore it, but we can't fear it, and must meet it resolutely and defeat it.
