Only Good News

Less than a week to go before Election Day, and our collective anxiety is spiking. 


LSR is here to give a happiness injection. Today we focus on the good and what gets us laughing so we don't cry.

The good news from the good 'uns
Kamala Harris's Closing Argument
Kamala had a huge rally at the Ellipse, in the same spot Dictator Don used in his coup attempt. She drew 75,000 people! It was a stirring speech. 



Her closing: 
Nearly 250 years ago America was born when we wrested freedom from a petty tyrant. Across the generations, Americans have preserved that freedom; expanded it and in so doing proved to the world that a government of, by, and for the people is strong and can endure. 

And those who came before us, the patriots at Normandy and Selma, Seneca Falls and Stonewall, on farmlands and factory floors, they did not struggle, sacrifice, and lay down their lives only to see us cede our fundamental freedoms. They didn't do that only to see us submit to the will of another petty tyrant.  
These United States of America – we are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators. The United States of America is the greatest idea Humanity ever devised; a nation big enough to encompass all our dreams, strong enough to withstand any fracture or fissure between us, and fearless enough to imagine a future of possibilities. 

So America, let let us reach for that future. Let us fight for this beautiful country we love. And in seven days we have the power each of you has the power to turn the page and start writing the next chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told. 
Barbara Bush campaigns for Kamala
Barbara Bush, W's daughter and George I's granddaughter, endorsed Kamala and is campaigning for her. It's a welcome surprise that a Bush is speaking out for Kamala. 

New Mexico says ¡No! to the pendejo naranjo 
The GOP wanted to have an event with their candidate in Albuquerque. Eeeee! Not evennnnn. 

Sorry, not sorry. There's no parking; you owe money for last time; and most importantly, New Mexico has no room for your hate. Take that shit elsewhere. Te bueno bye.

New Mexicans, as you vote, remember that Puerto Rico's nickname is The Island of Enchantment!
