General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

ELECTION DAY

"The fight between the left and right is never over. I'm not referring to the cable news face-offs, but to the struggle between those who advocate communal government action to better society and those who consider such collective cooperation a threat to individual liberty, between those who question the prerogatives of powerful economic interests and those who side with forces of unrestrained capital, between those who champion tolerance and diversity and those who seek to protect or advance their version of fundamentalism. It's not always black or white, us versus them. There are issues and moments that transcend or defy the usual divides. But there are basic conflicts. Politics in America is a long war. On Election Day 2010, it will get longer."  --David Corn

I adore David Corn. He tweets too damn much, but I follow him there anyway, long winded fucker that he is... But it's a great quote.

Going to vote in an hour, just wanted to stop by and toss some verbal support to someone that has the most beautiful skyline in the world on her site. I so miss Boston! ;)
