Trump has Officially Lost it - Part IV

Aha!

Marjorie Taylor Greene doing her part and tweeting out that "They control the weather"

R3 If that’s true, someone send a tiny tornado to carry her away.

R3, R6, I'm working as fast as I can!

Driving Miss Lindsey & JD.

Walt Nauta is kept so busy.

Indeed.

"OWNED BY HIS DISORDERS - one phrase we tweet often, which bears repeating today, is: "Trump is owned by his disorders." You really see it now.

He can't pivot. He can't shut up. He can't stop. He doesn't sleep. Energy is uneven. Oratory skills are shot.

His crowds have noticed, too - which is why so many leave his rallies early. He's offensive, even to some of them. He's beyond repetitive, even to some of them.

The added repetition comes from him being firmly in the "desperation" phase. He sees visions of his own demise. He can't reconcile that. So, he has to stray farther from coherence, to force-feed HIS reality.

He knows if he loses, it's 'good-bye grandiosity' and 'hello federal prison.'

So - whereas he used to shout false narratives, now he shouts entire false realities. Whereas he used to repeat things 5 times, now it's 10.

He's a severely injured narcissist who suffers new injury with every polling update. He's a sociopath who is triggered by every insult. He's paranoid that there's nobody he can trust.

And his malice is more laced with sadism. He's pissed there wasn't a government shutdown. He's pissed the dock strike got interim settled.

He wants to attack migrants with every waking moment - and it's not only because he sees it as a political argument - it's because he IS a pathological sadist.

He's projecting about mental illness, losing, and cheating.

This is a malignant narcissist, in decline, flailing, consumed by fears, and - owned by his disorders."

R9 💯 %

And R9, he could be our next President. Trump II would be so much worse.

[quote]He's paranoid that there's nobody he can trust.

His words actions ensure that no one can trust him.

He makes her cunt wet, R15.

Her filthy, filthy cunt.

Desperate Don.

The corporate billionaires that profit the most from Trump/GQP tax cuts and financial and environmental deregulations, are the ones behind the scenes most fervent about having massive undocumented migration. It is one major reason Congress hasn’t resolved it for decades. Those corporate billionaires want, the cheaper labor without restrictions, and for the number is consumers to steadily rise.

Anti-immigration rhetoric is to appease the base for their votes. The profiting bigwigs have no intention in stopping it.

R9 is spot on. Unfortunately the corporate media treats Dump like he's a normal, run of the mill Republican candidate.

This is not normal and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills that this could even be remotely close.

[quote]Unfortunately the corporate media treats Dump like he's a normal, run of the mill Republican candidate.

We got a week's worth of "Trump might be too old and mentally unfit to be president" after Biden dropped out and that was that. I guess they just collectively decided it was only a pressing concern for Biden, while nothing can be done in Trump's case.

I'm talking about the American media here, before someone points out that The Independent at r13 expresses exactly that concern.

The rare "he's losing it" article from the NYT.

Reigniting questions many os us never stopped having

Miss Lindsey isn’t campaigning by Trump’s side after the Laura Loomer—Lindsey (with MTG) cat fight over Trump’s love and adoration.

One can catch Miss Lindsey on one of the Sunday morning news shows she does each week. The media competes to host high demand Lindsey.

Now, a month before the election, the NYT wonders if Dump has age related issues R27?

I guess they have to hedge their bets so that when Harris/Walz win, they can claim they were even-handed and maybe regain some of those canceled subscribers.

The October Surprise will be the dump of negative crap from NYT, Fox and the like.

They are scared shitless of the Trump backlash, but the later they wait and the harder they go, the less time Trump has to attack his media lapdogs.

And that basic minimum of an article is shit, too. Keeps slamming Biden for staying in the race as long as he did, then quotes a couple of people close to Trump saying he's fine, and that's that. Disgraceful.

Shade from NJ.com.

One of Trump's big lies could be a boon for Dems if they choose to briefly pause from abortion.

[quote]Although Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) plans to visit the western part of North Carolina this week in the "deadly and devastating" aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Politico reports the GOP lawmaker has confirmed that Congress doesn't plan to provide any disaster aid before November.

[quote]Johnson's trip to the Tar Heel State comes amid Congress' nearly five-week-long recess, which several Democratic and Republican lawmakers are calling to cut short due to the need to "pass additional disaster relief funding," according to Axios.

From The independent.

[quote]At this point, though, you have to wonder if “weird” is the right word anymore. Maybe “embarrassing” would be better. The pictures to come out of the event certainly are – one shows Musk in the middle of a jaunty little half-hop while Trump looks on like a disappointed father; another has Musk leaning in to talk to Trump with a look on his face that reads as “finally, the approval my father never gave me”.

Leon Musk needs a bra.

[quote]if they choose to briefly pause from abortion.

No pause, only adds.

[quote]Spot on, Mr. President.

Lady Lindzebelle, did Donald grab your clit with his tiny hand?

Do you know bow many members of my stable have had to play out his “IDF platoon rescues grateful JAP festivalgoer” fantasy over the past year?

Oh, my. Netanyahu uses a salon rinse!

Miss Lindsey won’t be welcomed to the salons of Paris.

She would no longer be welcomed to the baths of Istanbul either.

Another sign of Trump's cognitive decline, but the media downplays .

^^^If I did that, the NY Times would be on my ass like rabid wolves. And I'm even running again.

NYT:

Less than a month before Election Day, Donald J. Trump’s campaign has not yet participated in the government’s official presidential transition process, a significant break from past practice that could threaten the seamless transfer of power should the Republican nominee win election.

Mr. Trump’s team has missed two key deadlines to sign agreements with the administration that are set by federal law and has also failed to sign an ethics plan that is required to jump-start the process of planning for a new administration.

Gods, he's so fuckin' slimy.

Yeah! I want to see it!

Trump raising his right hand, the other on a Bible, and falsely swearing another Presidential Oath of Office!

Wonder what are S&M Lindsey Graham’s fetishes?

Being tickled with feather dusters, like a proper Southern lady.

[quote]Mr. Trump’s team ... has also failed to sign an ethics plan that is required to jump-start the process of planning for a new administration.

That's because if Trump signs an Ethics Plan, the Plan automatically goes up in flames.

Ladylike Lindsebelle’s dream is to be carried across the threshold. She needs to start by finding a gentleman caller who is physically able to that, and is not currently married.

NYT has become a tabloid rag.

Trump trashes Detroit....in Detroit

Is that real? ^^

Seething with resentment, just like his followers:

R56 Yes, it is. He spoke for almost 3 hours. All of the usual grievances and insults.

R57 OMFG, he's always playing the victim. If he had a legitimate campaign team, the leader would have told him long ago to think before you speak or just shut the fuck up with the constant "woe is me" bullshit.

He also claims that the Abraham Accords should have earned him the Nobel. Just as his deal with the Taliban hurt our exit from Afghanistan, his deal with the Middle East led to October 7. He is constantly running up the bill, then leaving other people to pay up.

First Milwaukee, now Detroit. What other big city in a swing state will he insult next? Philly? Atlanta?

He has to piss on every blue city he can afford to visit.

It is the pissing on people in their own backyards that gives his MAGA cult joy.

Trump says he wants to pull CBS's license because 60 Minutes told the truth about him

[quote] If he had a legitimate campaign team, the leader would have told him long ago to think before you speak

They would first have had to explain to him the concept "think".

I'll be glad when this old wind bag is gone.

Nobody insults Trump better than Obama.

Hopefully, r65, he will be in ADX Florence awaiting the hot needle.

Obama: Do you think Donald Trump can change a diaper?

Audience member: His own!

FAKE NEWS R68! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT I DON'T CHANGE MY OWN DIAPERS. I HAVE HOPE HICKS OR WALT NAUTA DO IT. SOMETIMES LINDSEY GRAHAM, WHO REALLY SEEMS TO ENJOY IT.

At R57, the verbal performance, leave alone the pathetic content, is a luminous example of why 'Nobel' and 'Trump' is an incomprehension.

A little break from Trump Sr. The juniors are having an outing. What are the odds Don Jr offers RFK Jr a bump?

I've been well aware about Trump’s fecal incontinence since Noel Cassler discussed it and Trump appeared to be having an episode on camera besides President Erdogan of Turkey (who visibly reacted for a split second), but I'm kinda floored by reading this.

Post _________

Meiselas: I want to handle this subject with care and tact, and I want to take it very seriously. It seems that when Donald Trump was giving a speech at the Detroit Economic Club, among other things that occurred when he wasn’t attacking Detroit or consistently lying, he seems to have soiled himself during the speech.

You can hear it multiple times—it seems that he is letting out gas and potentially fecal matter as well during the speech. He then tries to kind of cover it up by making a noise as he appears to be relieving himself. I want to play that clip for you, but I want to emphasize this is not just the first time this has occurred.

As I mentioned, this has happened frequently with Donald Trump, and we’ve been covering it here at the MeidasTouch Network. I think it is an important subject to cover. I know that corporate media is going to avoid it, and there are some people who cover it but mock it and make fun of it. I want to just report on it and give you the data points right here, because I think the health of candidates is significant. How they present themselves is important. When he is meeting with world leaders and senators, is he relieving himself in front of them? Is he defecating on the floor in front of them? What is taking place?

I love it, Obama can be such a mean bitch at times. Good on him.

The Guardian:

Mark Milley, a retired US army general who was chair of the joint chiefs of staff under Donald Trump and Joe Biden, fears being recalled to uniform and court-martialed should Trump defeat Kamala Harris next month and return to power.

“He is a walking, talking advertisement of what he’s going to try to do,” Milley recently warned former colleagues. “He’s saying it and it’s not just him, it’s the people around him.”

When Kamala is elected, I hope she’s awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Although, in fairness, Joe Biden should’ve gotten it.

[quote]If I were named Obama, I would’ve had the Nobel Prize. He got the prize, he didn’t know what he got it for. He got elected. So did I… I got elected too. There’s a lot unfairness in this world

But you get two scoops of ice cream for dessert, donald.

R74, and he was President. Were never living this down, are we?

Trump has been shitting himself for years. He shat himself in front of Erdogan in the Oval Office years ago.

What makes Maggie Haberman show restraint in not reporting Trump's fecal incontinence?

Well? Hmmm?

Isn't she among those NY Times journalists who breathlessly, repeatedly reported on Hillary Clinton fainting?

I love stories of people commenting on Trump's wet sharts.

Loud and noxious.

When Trump loses his shit, the rest of us know where it went.

Trump is just going full Nazi now, accusing immigrants of being diseased

He’s been Nazi for awhile.

He's pretty much said everything short of "let's round 'em up and shoot 'em" at this point. Nothing he does or says is surprising anymore. He has now low. And there's a segment of Americans who are stupid enough to follow the whims of a psycho.

*He has no low.

Exactly, r85. Just when you think he's hit it, he descends even further. It reminds me of this pearl of wisdom I heard back when I worked in the mental health field. It was about addicts and alcoholics, but applies just as well to Trump with his multiple Axis II diagnoses and declining cognitive condition: "Every bottom has a trap door." And the hinges can blow with the slightest or no provocation.

ah no whut ah wont

Oh, good lord. Didn't anybody tell him when he left the house this morning?

Trump mocks Adam Schiff's appearance....while looking the way he looks at r91's link

Trump has too much shit and now is spewing and leaking it. Biden never shit himself.

Ironically, Dennis used to be known as the non-crazy Quaid. Now they're both loons.

[quote]Oh, good lord. Didn't anybody tell him when he left the house this morning?

He needs to stop with the bronzer or the MAGA faithful might start to believe he's part Black and not turn out to vote. Or that the "real" Donald Trump has been kidnapped by the Democrat Party deep state and they installed the imposter.

In other words, he needs to keep it up so he removes himself from his base.

Trump says he'll withhold disaster aid to California. He wants to do what he's accusing Biden of

r91 - Mrs. Betty Bowers:

[quote]Donald takes the same approach to liquid foundation as he does to racial politics: No blending, keep the colors separate.

[quote]He segregates his face?

Yes

^ Mammy!

Can any housekeeping person speculate on the amount of work it takes to wash his sheets?

You know Trump's getting desperate when he not only over-uses the bronzer, but also brings out his special Putin smile. Quite the gruesome little October surprise.

Trump is doing “brown face” to the extreme now. Where is the media condemning this racist behavior?

The coachella crowd is tiny! Wow. Will he even fill MSG?

Blue Ft Lauderdale here (now).

Born/ raised in NYC. I’ll be there visiting family and friends the weekend that orange motherfucker spews his bloviating bullshit at the Garden. Staying with friends who live around the corner. Thanks fuck-face, for the added congestion to an already insanely busy neighborhood. Go away! We fucking hate you. 😡

Coachella? MSG? It's like he's on his farewell tour.

I'm skeptical that Trump is doing those because he wants to help other Republicans down the ballot.

Trump hasn't lifted a finger, foot or dollar for anybody other than himself over the entire length of his too long life.

He probably thought he’d get a Coachella sized crowd. 50,000+ people like a rock concert but it looks like he got 4,000 max. They applauded when he said that he would not send aid to California so I’m guessing most are not from CA.

I predict that the back of the Garden will be empty.

Can someone who is much smarter than me explain why Dump isn’t doing PA and Georgia exclusively? Wasn’t the plan to concentrate on those two states because, if he carries those and the states he carried before he wins? I’ve read different reasons, such as he’s trying to get voters who don’t vote often, but I’m not buying them. I don’t see where rallies in California and New York do him any good with those voters. It’s really perplexing, I don’t see any payoff whatsoever (although as someone who hates his guts, it pleases me to think he’s spinning his wheels).

I'm thinking optics- the bigger states have more people to populate his rallies.

He’s trying to drive Republican turnout in swing districts because control of the house is vital to his agenda.

R112 is correct

r110, I've read one pundit who surmised that he's appearing at in Cal. and MSG because gets national attention anyway wherever he speaks, and these bigger TV markets get him even bigger national exposure, all for no financial and physical cost to him.

Basically, if I understand it correctly, he's outsourcing his physical presence to national media.

After all, he can't be expected to haul his old, tired self every day; to grind it out like Kamala is doing, to every podunk Hootervile in PA.

They're already his anyway.

R112 and r113, I just don’t buy that. He only cares about himself, and these rallies aren’t helping the most important person ever—him—win. Specifically, I don’t know what swing districts appearing at Coachella and MSG would even help.

Now, I see Harris doing something like this, because she understands that she needs Congressional help with her agenda, but Dump thinks he’s omnipotent as president.

Right r114 Della. He’s using those venues to enhance nationwide media attention.

But surely the small crowd at Coachella is going to ruin that plan. The aerial shots show a crowd that could fit onto a lawn.

[QUOTE]all for no financial and physical cost to him.

The Garden is not going to be cheap to rent. Given his history of non-payment, the campaign is probably going to have to pay up front.

Trump isn’t doing PA and GA because trump isn’t trying to win. He’s trying to stir up the troops to try another coup when he loses.

R118, MSG is owned by James Dolan, a huge Dump supporter. That’s why Dump was able to “rent” it. Dolan will probably look the other way, too, re getting paid.

Unreal. Now he wants the taxpayers to underwrite his costs. Desperate times over at the campaign. Makes it sounds like they're running out of money.

[QUOTE]Due to safety concerns, the Trump campaign has requested that Donald Trump have the use of military aircraft and vehicles until the election.

I long for the day when the next installment of this thread is “Trump Has Officially Lost.”

[quote] I long for the day when the next installment of this thread is “Trump is DEAD TO ME"

FIFY.

I agree with Elder Lez

His team wants to hang onto the House. Nancy’s control of the House on Jan 6th, and her insisting on ratification that night, helped thwart their efforts to throw the election to the Supremes and a subsequent state by state delegation vote.

His team doesn’t want Jefferies in control.

I posted this on the "Dennis Quaid speaks at Coachella" thread:

I don't understand the point of a rally in California. There are only a couple of closely contested congressional races. One is Katie Porter's old district and another in the central valley where both candidates are Mexican in a Mexican majority district. Trump’s not going to sway anyone. I've read that the Madison Square Garden rally is more strategic as there are several closely contested races that could determine the House majority.

Still stranding rally-goers. At least it's not on a freezing cold night like the other occasions.

[quote]Something has gone horribly wrong.

[quote]This is not normal and feels nefarious and criminal.

Two sentences which sum up Trump's entire existence in politics. By now this carries not one iota of surprise. Everything connected to him is a disgrace and a degradation.

Trump wants troops to be used against anyone who opposes him on election day.

Good thing Biden's still president!

It's like that quote from Truman about Eisenhower: He'll sit right here and he'll say do this, do that! And nothing will happen.

I guess Trump thinks that the military will obey his orders even if he's [bold]not[/bold] president.

He’s claiming a crowd of 100,000 in Coachella last night.

More like 5000 or so

Kamala is starting an army full of illegal alien gang members! Trust me, it's true!

R131 It should have been zero.

"He Gives Them the Green Light": How Trump Has Revived Hate Groups

Kamala is the most powerful VP in our history. Trump’s crediting her with creating an army. Vance is on tv this morning crediting her with jailing pro lifers, censoring the internet and causing inflation. Has Trump thought this true? Because he and Vance are pushing a narrative that gives the VP full control of the whole world. The “Kamala administration” would be the “Vance administration.” The wars would be Vance’s wars and the border Vance’s border on Jan 21. No wonder Shady JD is pushing this narrative!!

R134 I've noticed that he's revved up his hate speech. UNACCEPTABLE. I'm going to keep using that word until he goes away.

[quote]I guess Trump thinks that the military will obey his orders even if he's not president.

He's ever closer to being the man in the asylum convinced he's Napoleon.

[quote] I guess Trump thinks that the military will obey his orders even if he's not president.

Big mistake, when the Supremes have just given Biden immunity for any official action. Huge.

Yes, R138, and it bears repeating: Joseph Biden holds the title, powers and duties of POTUS up to and including 11:59 AM on January 20, 2025.

Can't someone do a 5150 -- or as they say in FL, "Baker Act" him?

Trump certainly is a danger to himself and/or others.

Trump is telling people to vote on "January 5th"

^finally something he said that I can get behind. I hope all his people try to vote Jan 5th!

That's the eve of Civil War 2.0...

The $924,800 is an oddly precise figure.

Trump is playing "Dixie" at one of his rallies. In Pennsylvania.

There's hope.

One of his supporters has a medical emergency...he mocks the supporter for being overweight

Meanwhile, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is in Pennsylvania trying to sanewash Trump because she knows the state so well.

Well, she'll be a big hit at all the Amish/Mennonite puppy mills PA is infamous for.

Never buy a puppy from an Amish farmer. Seriously. If you don't believe me, look it up.

R145.

[quote] Donald Trump is so politically savvy that he played "Dixie"—a song that romanticizes the Confederacy, the same Confederacy that was most brutally defeated in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania—in Pennsylvania tonight. He's smart that way.

Trump wants violence, he's been mentioning it a lot lately. He is demented.

I picked-up a penny next to my car this weekend because I think it's good luck (it was). And I heard a voice drawl, "You're gonna need luck if you vote Democrat". It was a greazy hillbilly in a car nearby.

January 6 was probably the happiest day of donald's life, R151; all that violence at his behest (and on his behalf).

Kristi Noem is busy sitting on some Pennsylvania Amish cock.

Maybe she'll find an....Amish Stud

Just standing on stage, looking lost and swaying to opera (Did he choose opera because no pop or rock artists would let him use their music?)

That's not opera. That's "The Prayer" - a popular Italian song sung by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. But he went through a number of songs - most of them without the permission of the singers or songwriters.

Perfect headline, coupled with a perfect photo.

Trump: Folie à Deux

His crazy is now a musical.

This seems normal

‼️NOW CONFIRMED: The bus company booked by the Trump campaign for his Coachella rally refused to return to collect the stranded attendees after Team Trump ignored their repeated requests for payment.

Is ANYBODY surprised Trump screwed his supporters?

I like music.

R162, she just has allergies. Urticaria is hives and rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis are runny nose and itchy eyes caused by allergies. The same thing practically everyone gets in spring or fall and treats with antihistamines. Obviously she doesn't have any of these symptoms often or we'd all have noticed.

Another last minute cancellation. How long can they keep up the charade?

I'm pissed at GMA this morning. They covered both campaigns from last night and totally normalized Trump standing there looking like a fucking madman for thirty whole minutes. "Trump played DJ." WTF? This man has lost his shit and needs to go. Seriously.

I wonder whether the suddenly much darker makeup is covering something new? Because it has coincided with a bit of a plummet even from where he was. (Wherever that was, says Donald.)

He’s a “very messy and dangerous situation.”

In all fairness, that Times story at r169 may use polite language, and not include any assumptions, but it paints a vivid picture.

From WaPo:

“I am far healthier than Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden, but especially, Kamala,” Trump baselessly wrote. He returned to the topic later Tuesday morning, telling his followers: “Kamala’s Medical Report is really bad. With all of the problems that she has, there is a real question as to whether or not she should be running for President! MY REPORT IS PERFECT - NO PROBLEMS!!!”

I’m fucking sick of this “baselessly” crap. He’s a batshit crazy liar and obviously mentally ill.

[quote]Is ANYBODY surprised Trump screwed his supporters?

Not surprising, R163. He's doesn't give a damn about them, he lies to them, he grifts from them and if he wasn't consumed by retribution and hate, he'd never be caught dead with any of them. He could say all of those things to them and they would still support him. It is full on cultish behavior.

He has now abruptly cancelled his CNBC interview. But remember, she's the done who isn't doing any interviews.

Watching Mango Mussolini sway to Sinead O'Connor is totally surreal. Let's give that guy the nuclear codes! What could possibly go wrong???? 💣💥☠️

[quote]Trump looking stroked out and swaying to Ave Maria is both the most humanizing and health-concerning thing I've seen from him. I mean, Jesus Christ.

Saw this comment somewhere and it captures my thoughts perfectly. Running extremely old people for president is just cruel.

The drugs aren't working anymore.

Perhaps they'll OD him in an effort to make him appear "normal."

One can hope.

[quote]The NYT says Trump was just doing an "improvisational departure," like John Coltrane or something, when he behaved like a complete madman on stage tonight...

Have to say that the exasperated takes on Trump's surreal public breakdown can be hilarious. Christ knows we need some levity while he still against all reason holds up in the polls.

Most Americans are totally checked out and won't see any of Trump's more nutty behavior. Totally uninformed but they still seem to be obligated to vote.

Trump is envious that Harris got bumps from JUST SHOWING UP. Trump is now running from the BASEMENT on the ROAD.

He just needs to show up, like Harris at the Convention, ad bathe i8n the adulation of his admirers ... except he looks fucking stupid.

He might as well change his business model to the celebrity weekends at the Marriott and sign pictures and take pictures.

Or is this for AFTER he loses.

Tim Miller just said on MSNBC that Trump's playlist last night sounds like a "playlist from an old-timey gay bar."

He should add I'm Commin Out...

[quote] Meanwhile, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is in Pennsylvania trying to sanewash Trump because she knows the state so well.

In an alternate universe, Kristi Noem and Gretchen Whitmer would be two 50 something gal pals going off to cosmetic clinics together to get botox injections or procedures done together.

No need for donald to go to a Marriott, R180.

We're still available to accommodate his venue needs, at a rate more favorable to his budget.

Sebastian Stan Scolds “Hypocrite” Trump:

Rufus and Cohen Estate clap back:

Sinead O'Connor's estate should sue Dump for using her music.

And thanks for ruining Nothing Compares To U. Now anytime I hear that song I'll be reminded of Trump with a giant load in his diaper swaying with dog killer Kristi Noem.

He thinks he's healthier than Kamala? He's 20 years older than her and must outweigh her by like 100 pounds at least

It’s time to wheel him into a fake Oval Office on the back nine of Trump National, tell him he won, hand him a Diet Coke, a “Noble Prize”, a pic of Ivanka and a Happy Meal, play a montage video of despots praising him, quietly close the door & walk away.

You know he is lying when he says the men had tears in their eyes

Weekend At Donnie's

[quote]You know he is lying when...

He speaks.

Is it true that "Dixie" was played at said rally?

Trump is gonzo.

R193 I gather he played Elvis’ American Trilogy, which does in fact include Dixie.

The only people around Trump with tears in their eyes are the people who can smell his overflowing diaper. 💩💩💩

I loved it when he started dancing to Al Jolsen singing Mammy!

Trump gently rocking to Ave Maria might be THE jumping the shark moment for his campaign and him in general. Just a suggestion for future historians.

Thanks, R195.

Maybe this was a preview of his funeral music. 🙏🤞

[quote]Trump gently rocking to Ave Maria might be THE jumping the shark moment for his campaign and him in general.

His choice of Ave Maria is bizarre. It’s usually sung at Catholic funerals.

Just saw a clip of him being asked if he called Putin. He said he won't confirm or deny but if he did there was nothing wrong with it. So, it's 100% true and 7 times is a major underestimation. He probably calls him every month.

If only someone in the Kremlin would find those recording and release them at the end of October.

^ I'm sure our intelligence agencies have recordings of those calls as well.

r203 I don't think so, it would be a huge scandal if it came out that they were recording the calls of a former president without cause. Obviously the FSB records everything on the Russian side.

I hope people are crystal clear that they are voting for President Vance, not President Trump

His mental collapse should be the top story from now until election day. This is now a national security issue.

He's totally mental.

This is delicious.

No, of course Trump would not be the target of recording such calls. I'm just curious why you think Putin's/Kremlin's calls to domestic numbers are outside intelligence agencies' purview, regardless of who places or receives them. Are you so naive, really?

NBC Lester Holt just did two minutes on him being nuts🤙🏼

Did trump show off his cute new dance step for “Deutschland, Deutschland, Uber Alles”?

He’s obsessed with the stories where big strong men call him sir and have tears in their eyes

He’s obsessed with the stories where big strong men call him sir and have tears in their eyes

R214 "and they said to me, Sir....." It makes me want to vomit in his face.

Re: R206's clip, which I keep seeing on various newscasts all with the same conclusion, Trump is addled because he doesn't answer the question.

I come to a different, more insidious conclusion. In this instance, he's doing what he often does and what practically every politician does when they deliberately don't WANT to answer a question, he' s changing the conversation. Rather than respond to something he probably doesn't HAVE the answer to, he's using the opportunity to speak yet another grievance (aka LIE), his supporters can later use in a violent protest.

I think it was a pre-planned talking point he was just waiting to drop.

Possibly

But politicians who aren’t non-competence dementias, offer their sound bite in response to a related question or try to transition to it in a semi-logical way.

[quote]NBC Lester Holt just did two minutes on him being nuts

He could have easily done two hours and barely scratched the surface.

What r216 said.

All politicians do what r216 describes to varying degrees as any cursory hearing of a politician being interviewed on, say, Meet the Press, will prove.

But since Trump is allowed to operate, hell, thrive, absent an iota of standards, behavior or just plain old human competence and decency that are applied to the rest of us, that SOB Trump takes it far beyond normal bounds.

Trump doesn't have to caution himself, guard himself from saying a gaffe, slur or just bad behavior.

But to hear Trump and his voters complain about it, if you point out the merest criticism of him, he's being "persecuted".

Behold the ultimate in White, Male, Wealthy, Convicted Felon Privilege.

Which isn’t the point.

Even the most pablum-like media are fully calling out Trump now.

One of Kamala's surrogates should do what he did in 2016. Come out and ask the Russians to find the tapes of the Putin/Trump calls. Putin will be manipulating him with such expertise that only the MAGA diehards could deny it. He's wounded now and that would bury him for good.

R27, Even that article headline pulls its punches. Where are the adjectives "violent," "sadistic," "unAmerican," "belligerent," and "divisive"?

Nobody, let alone a "strong man in tears," has ever approached, or ever been ALLOWED TO APPROACH, Trump in person to say anything whatsoever.

He spins his fantasies into anecdotes of the life he is not living. The applauding, laughing, admiring audiences in essence tell him, "Hey, maybe that DID happen!" So maybe there have been many such occasions, Trump wonders. "Yes, there probably HAVE been other strong men in tears thanking me! I'll bet one was a hurricane guy. Now, how did that go again?"

And Trumplethinskin spins another tale for his beloved poorly educated.

[quote]It’s time to wheel him into a fake Oval Office on the back nine of Trump National, tell him he won, hand him a Diet Coke, a “Noble Prize”, a pic of Ivanka and a Happy Meal, play a montage video of despots praising him, quietly close the door & walk away.

Funny you should say that. That's just what JD intends to do after they win.

The worst thing about last night's performance is that you know the defence will use it and the many clips like it as evidence he's gaga, if he loses and those trials go ahead.

Yet the NYT and most of the other commentators don't think it disqualifies him from having the nuclear codes if he wins.

He won’t let them argue that he’s incompetent.

He will if he hasn't managed to escape the country.

Rick has a way with words.

He’s morbidly obese.

[quote The Republican declared himself the “father” of IVF, before saying he had asked Senator Katie Britt, from Alabama, to explain what it was.

[quote] “I said, explain IVF very quickly,” Trump tells Fox News host Harris Faulkner. “And within about two minutes, I understood, we're totally in favour of IVF.”

Imagine travelling back to 2012 and telling people that, in the near future, someone this unabashedly stupid would be a US presidential candidate. Three times. He makes George W Bush look like Stephen Hawking.

And yet I see the Kamala pays for prisoner's sex-change operations commercial a zillion times a day.

R233 I always see those ads on CNN. Counter campaigns need to be run.

[quote]...declared himself the "father of IVF..."

My name is Barron, Father Sir.

Jimmy is one step ahead of Trump. Spry devil!

Just saw the IVF clip from the women's town hall. That should put off more women and shave another half point of support away (at least)!

New filing from Jack Smith says Trump bears responsibility for the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. In a filing responding to Trump’s attempt to dismiss the case, Smith’s team said it “is incorrect” for Trump’s team to assert that the superseding indictment returned against Trump in August does not show that Trump bears responsibility for the events of Jan. 6.

The fat rat increasingly feels trapped and backed into a corner. It will strike back prior to the election; question is "how?"

^^^I would expect nothing less from Trump. His only interactions from now on will be audiences that kiss his ass and avoid tough questions, just like dictators behave.

I hope SNL does something amusing with the Town Hall sway-athon but I’m not counting on it,

Trump is asked about climate change, and gives a totally incoherent answer.

What kind of dressing goes with that word salad R249?

Mitch McConnell said after the 2020 election that then-President Donald Trump was “stupid as well as being ill-tempered,” a “despicable human being” and a “narcissist,” according to excerpts from a new biography of the Senate Republican leader that will be released this month.

In 2022, McConnell said in his oral history that Trump’s behavior since losing the election had been “beyond erratic” as he kept pushing false allegations of voter fraud. “Unfortunately, about half the Republicans in the country believe whatever he says,” McConnell said.

By 2024, McConnell had again endorsed Trump.

A real profile in courage, that one.

^ What a despicable POS.

Where is our modern Shakespeare who can find the words to describe such an aberrant thing that walks among us?

Grief-stricken parents. Daughter dead from Trump's "I did that" abolition of Roe v. Wade law. Needless sorrow and death, horrifying to much of humanity.

To Trump, the only element that gives any "meaning" to those describing their suffering is "ratings."

And of course, he will "win."

Trump is empty. His only sense of humor is grotesque mockery and insults. His only sense of empathy is whining for himself. His only sense of humility is incandescent rage at and denial of any kind of loss in a "deal" (political; business; legal; personal).

And Trump's only vision of other humans is psychopathically in terms of punishment, the larger the scale, the better. He delights in describing violence---murders, rapes, slit throats, bloodbaths, hydrogen-exploded bodies---inflicted on people.

If his cult were to erect a statue in adoration, it would likely resemble their idea of Christ.

But more accurately it would be of Moloch. Not for nothing does Trump frequently mention Hannibal Lecter.

[quote]Where is our modern Shakespeare who can find the words to describe such an aberrant thing that walks among us?

Just today I had the thought that if Shakespeare, Dickens, Dostoevsky and Swift were at the top writers' table in literary heaven they might not have dared to invent a creature like Trump for the 21st century.

When the dust finally settles on this astonishing grotesque, it'll likely be be left to documentarians to start the definitive assessment of just what the hell happened. God knows there's a gruesome wealth of footage to explore. It'll be a Ken Burns-like project. Projects plural, to see us all out.

There are many keys, r255, Freud's being high on the chain.

But another essential one is kept deep in the Kremlin.

Yes, I want to live long enough to see documentarians and historians really wrestle with how a not-very-bright but very obvious con man held nearly half the country in thrall and took over the Republican party while trashing many of its long-held doctrines. Most of the answers offered up today seem too facile to me – we need the remove of time to really grapple with this.

r249, the dressing of snake oil salesmen, The balm of oil and the shock of vinegar.

He's now cancelled an NRA event as well. He's gone from 69 rallies in October back in 2016 to just 18 this time around. He obviously blew his wad during the primary and is too diminished to campaign much more than that now when it matters the most.

He also cancelled an NBC interview this morning. They're officially hiding him.

Where are all the "What's wrong with Trump?" stories? We know mainstream media knows how to do them, they hounded Joe with them daily.

Interesting. Wonder if he's had a mild stroke? Surely even Trump years ago had more sense than to play 40 minutes of songs in the middle of a town hall.

He still stands by the Springfield, Ohio claim that the Haitins are eating dogs and cats. He said he will be going there soon and can prove it. (He said this yesterday.)

Considering his disastrous rallies and other appearances lately, the smartest thing his campaign could do is lock him down completely till after the election.

[quote]He's gone from 69 rallies in October back in 2016 to just 18 this time around.

That's a killer stat to get out there very loud and clear, to get under his sagging pallid skin.

And not only is it just 18 rallies: they're all manifest evidence of mental decline. Despite Trump's intrinsic repulsiveness, this level of surreal slurring whimsy, ignorance and sadism was never so prominent in '16. A compare and contrast series of clips could twist that knife very usefully.

His rotting from the inside is clearly escalating.

There is anecdotal evidence from focus groups and from people like Rick Wilson that Trump’s softer support (i.e. non-MAGA Republicans) is softening. Some say this is why Harris has recently started to focus attention on Trump’s physical and mental condition as well as his extreme rhetoric.

Fingers crossed.

Harris also likely has more inside information on what’s really going on with Cheeto

Where is Rick Wilson saying this, R267? I want to read it.

This is just embarrassing

Not much to read r269

His campaign has to have done some internal polling after every appearance. I'm guessing that his support goes down after each time he goes out in public. The best thing they can do is keep him down in the basement.

Or, as Bill Maher likes to say about Trump's dance moves, "jerking off two guys at once."

I disagree R270. I thought that was wonderful.

The Trumpettes!

Not R257, but to start: Support for NATO Support for America’s role as a global leader Concern for the size of the deficit Support for scientific Research and Development Public Decorum as a virtue, however hypocritical

I am OVER Billionaires.

Respect for the military, dedication to the free market, leeriness of Russian and other dictatorial nations, the importance of family values (no matter how hypocritical), the notion that character counts (no matter how hypocritical), preserving American traditions (like the peaceful transition of power) ...

[quote]Or, as Bill Maher likes to say about Trump's dance moves, "jerking off two guys at once."

The two guys being Musk and Putin, while he thinks about Roy Cohn.

Just hit me: The addle-pated aspect; the words giving way to exhausted "uuuhhhhh" exhalations; the bizarre mispronunciations (most recently, "Azure-asians" for "Arizonans," but let us not forget "Yo-Semite"); the twitches and contortions; the sadistic imagery---

NONE of the above is truly conveyed by SNL and James Austin Johnson, whereas Dana Carvey's "Old Senile Shambling Joe" is now a staple.

The Trump of JAJ stands tall, speaks strongly even if some thoughts go off on tangents, never looks lost or befuddled, never bizarrely mispronounces or makes up ("covfefe") words. Never even seems 78, drinking water with both hands, barely negotiating an incline. And Heaven forfend SNL dare allude to Trump's Depends olfactory offenses.

Then again, Trump once hosted SNL. Maybe here familiarity bred fondness.

Robert Kraft no longer supporting Trump? Link in next post. Why does Muriel still have an issue with the Independent?

R283, Oh? I do believe Democrats have supported NATO.

I do believe that the Republican "concern about the deficit" has always been a crock. E.g., compare the macroeconomics of the Clinton Administration to those of the GWB deficit.

R285, Are you claiming any of those as the province only of "Republican"? The very fact that you need to add the word "hypocritical" PUTS THE LIE to such claims!

"Respect for the military"? Yeah, that's pretty much SOP of BOTH Parties. Well, maybe except for Dubya's going AWOL and Dick Cheney's paying homage in Bitburg's SS cemetery. And Reagan's claiming to have been at the liberation of a concentration camp when he had spent his entire service in Hollywood.

"Free market"? That's a good one. Just check for "the union label" to see how the Republican embrace of the FM has been working for Americans.

"Leeriness" of Russia and other despotic nations? Iran-Contra, anybody? Pinochet? Moreover, it was Lech Walesa, the Pope, and Gorbachev, not Reagan, who ended the USSR.

"Family values"? Divorces and affairs of both Parties aside, the Republican Party has never done or even proposed a damn thing in terms of advancements in maternity leave, child care costs, Early Childhood Education, school lunch programs, and the like. Their indifference goes beyond the word "hypocritical."

"Character counts"? You ascribe this to Republicans while using the term "hypocritical." Do you HEAR YOURSELF?! Cheney? Meese? Agnew? Mitchell? The many Watergate felons? The pardoned Iran-Contra traitors? There are books.

"Preserving American traditions"? Now, the "peaceful transition of power" isn't really a "tradition" like having turkey on Thanksgiving. It is a function of our democratic form of government. Thus and therefore, it has always been how our Administrations transitioned, nothing whatsoever to do with either Party's policies or platforms. So no, not a "Republican value."

So what other "American traditions" might you mean? Support for, say, public education, which goes back to Benjamin Franklin? Oh, wait; no, that can't be one, not with Republican support for giving public tax monies to pay for private education.

How about the US Postal Service (Ben again)? Well, no, not with the imposition (with the intention of bankrupting) on this CONSTITUTIONAL department the pre-funding of pensions.

Maybe you allude to Social Security (FDR) and Medicare (LBJ), by now considered not "traditions" but essentials by non-wealthy Americans. Nah, that can't be, not if Republican history of non-support is our guide.

Reading the Bible in public schools? Are you longing for that unconstitutional one? Or Christmas creches on government grounds?

Maybe you just mean flag-waving, pledging allegiance, singing the national anthem at baseball games, and having 4th of July fireworks. Great! Guess what? Democrats have been known to enjoy the above. AND the NFL, Indy 500, and apple pie!

I'm still curious about helpful Republican policies*, the non-hypocritical kind.

*I'll give you one. Once upon a time I was on "Jeopardy!", and Alex asked me (from my "bio") what I thought was Nixon's best achievement. I replied, "The Environmental Protection Agency."

I don't know how Americans cope with such long election seasons. The last UK general election was announced about six weeks in advance, and even then I got sick of all the news coverage. It seems as though US elections get well over a year of heavy coverage.

Magats are online screaming that P2025 was authored by democrats now. They are blatantly lying and projecting. They live in an alternate reality, truly.

R293. You’re utterly clueless—

the 2024 election cycle began on January 22, 2021. It’s been going on for three years and 9 months.

R295, I’m not r293, but I think you were hard on them.

Sarcasm!

He’s dying, Egypt, dying…

I’d say the US presidential election season begins in the early months of the year before the election when candidates make their official announcements. Most of them have been informally campaigning for months by that time. That makes it about 18 months long.

Of course it really never ends.

R298, if they are willing to admit he is “exhausted” the real problem must be much worse.

Karoline Leavitt needs a cage match with Kayleigh McEnany over who lied for Trump better.

[quote]I'm still curious about helpful Republican policies*, the non-hypocritical kind.

You seem to be laboring under the delusion that I think any of the doctrines (not policies) I mentioned are helpful.

Because Trump would be the soul of discreet humane sympathy if it were ever announced that Obama, Hillary, Biden or Harris were 'exhausted.' Not a word about such an unfortunate lapse would ever cross his civilised social media bulletins, would ever be voiced at a rally. I wonder how 'high' the Democrats will now be about this.

WaPo: During Donald Trump’s presidency, his D.C. hotel charged the U.S. Secret Service 300 percent or more above standard government rates on multiple occasions, and at times charged the government agency more than it did other patrons — including a Chinese business and members of a foreign royal family, according to a new report released Friday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

Make America Griftable Again.

Trump has been in a narcissistic spiral since Kamala humiliated him in the debate. I wouldn't be surprised if he has breakdown moments where he's raging and babbling incoherently.

Florida man exhausted by his run for the presidency still manages to convince half of American voters he has the energy to be president.

My favorite new ad:

Dave Bautista is great. Trump *is* like a garbage bag filled with buttermilk.

[quote]members of a foreign royal family,

Why would they stay at that Trump tacky dump?

Of course Trump ripped off the Secret Service. I thought we knew this already.

At R298’s link: “In response, a Trump adviser told Shade Room producers that Trump was “exhausted and refusing [some] interviews but that could change” at any time, according to two people familiar with the conversations. Trump-supporting rapper Waka Flocka Flame was offered up as an alternative, those two people say.”

Oh, my sides.

R308, they didn’t. (Assume this is the Saudis). They would rent a couple floors, tell him in meetings that they were staying there, and actually be staying somewhere else. Wheee, concessions.

Now he's cutting short interviews with lickspittles?

Donald Trump was scheduled to appear with former Fox News personality Dan Bongino for an interview on Friday, but a few minutes into their discussion, the ex-president abruptly ended the questioning. Bongino, who has been supportive of Trump in the past, appeared to be confused. “Can I get, Dan, off the record, I gotta get going,” Trump said.

Where are the large Dem ads that no one can miss. Billboards and shit.

“What is wrong with the Donald?”

“How sick is he”

“Are the rumors true. Is that why no release of health records”

“Something stinks and it’s just not trumps record”

@ R312 he looks like a very old man who should be sitting at the fireside with a blanket over his knees.

President Vance President Vance President Vance

So, I posted elsewhere about what the Dems might do with the Felon's 'exhaustion.' And R315 gives me a first glorious answer. More - so very much more, please.

His remark about cows on Fox snd Friends this morning may have been tongue in cheek but it was still bizarre.

R6, he no longer has a “very good chance of winning.”

I am the most stable human being

Rick Wilson also comments of the subject of exhaustion. Wilson thinks the mental end of the road is coming.

I love that he calls his vlog: The Elephant in the Room.

Trump is the new Roxane Gay! Exhausted!

They’re not hiding him.He was at the Catholic-Al Schmitt-din din last night cracking jokes.Plan was to make this POS look human before the ceremonial oven lighting of the Trump Crematories for the rest of us.

Wants to defund public schools

R323 America was built on slavery and stealing the lands of Native Americans, but the precious Jaydens and Madesyns of the world can't be taught that.

R312, how long was the interview? That’s nuts Bongino is one of his biggest bootlickers.

R312 he probably left fast because he shit his pants.

[quote]r326 = he probably left fast because he shit his pants.

Many FOX people have told me that his diaper hadn't been changed and it burst.

Maybe Trump should just be fitted with a colostomy bag.

Rick Wilson is a wordsmith. I do hope "Feces Valet" catches on and it's associated with the *other* sexual abuser Walt Nauta who left the Navy early rather than face charges for his abuse.

I suppose there's some karmic justice if Nauta first finds himself wrist deep in Trump's McDonald's sludge waste, and then in prison for conspiracy to commit espionage on behalf of his master.

Melanie actually attended the Al Smith dinner with Donald.

Kayleigh. Kellyanne, Karoline.

If I were a Qanoner I might think this was a pattern.

R330 and where was Kamala?

R332, Kamala knew that the stench of Dump could not be contained, even in the vast hall. She didn’t want to aggravate her allergies.

I was being sarcastic

[quote]and where was Kamala?

Vice President Harris was on the stump meeting with the everyday people, addressing their concerns and dreams.

Somebody on Twitter commented that Donald dances like an undercover cop at a gay bar and now that's all I see.

^ It's true!

Trump could say ‘’My own constituents are sick fuckers or they wouldn’t be voting for me’’ and his constituents WOULD LOVE IT!

Jimmy Kimmel described donald's hand movements while dancing as "jerking-off two giraffes."

Do The Jerk!

Check out the giraffes a little over halfway through.

Thanks, R340; my mistake in attributing the joke to Jimmy Kimmel. Instead, it was from Dave Bautista's video which I watched on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."

I really don't think he'll win.

Fuck the Catholics and their grotesque misogyny, when it comes to the Al Smith dinner:

CBS: Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, who plays a prominent role in the dinner, has been highly critical of Democrats, writing a 2018 Wall Street Journal op-ed that carried the headline, "The Democrats Abandon Catholics."

In 1996, the Archdiocese of New York decided not to invite then-President Bill Clinton and his Republican challenger, Bob Dole, reportedly because Clinton vetoed a late-term abortion ban.

In 2016, Trump began innocently enough. He joked that then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer used to love Trump when he was a Democrat. He poked fun at plagiarism involving the Clintons. But Trump's remarks soon devolved into bitterness and insults, inviting boos when many in the audience felt he crossed a line when he called Democrat Hillary Clinton corrupt and claimed she hated Catholics.

In 2020, Biden and Trump both spoke online because of covid. Mr. Biden, who is Catholic, has not attended since he took office.

NYT 10/16/84: Walter Mondale has decided not to attend the Alfred E. Smith dinner, in order to prepare for Sunday's Presidential debate. John Sasso, campaign manager for Geraldine A. Ferraro, said in Cleveland that Mr. Mondale had requested that his running mate be allowed to speak in his place, but that the request had been denied. He said he did not know why the request was denied.

Trump is SO grotesque. No more.

The Al Smith dinner was a white tie event, but Trump just doesn't care anymore. Even though he wore a white tie to the 2016 one.

Kamala will win but we're going to have to deal with the shit they're going to pull after the election.

Maybe he'll die of exhaustion.

Trump dances as if he’s trying to summon the elusive and siren Lady Lidzebelle for a mating ritual.

Consider me SUMMONED!

R346, none of the projections favor her any more. The more likely fear is what they will pull once the mask is off. After they win, they will claim they were running on Project 2025 the whole time.

Trump is exhausted? Serves him right. He's been exhausting since 2016.

R252 the way he sits in a chair is visually gross.

How are things in Vladivostok, R350?

We need the red troll text say “Reporting about an American election from Vladivostok”

It was a pleasure to blocking the fucking shit out of R350 a long, long, long time ago. Thanks for calling that vodka soaked troll out, R353.

Project 2025 is not going away just because The Lost Cause printed its manifesto.

Project 2025 is the Republican Platform.

Though I’m apparently a drunken Russian troll, can someone who hadn’t blocked me explain what was inaccurate? Both 538 and Nate Silver’s predictions flipped to favoring Trump. Why is trolling to point out reality?

They have been denying Project 2025 for months. My point is that, should they win, they will brazenly claim that this was their agenda all along and that it helped them win. Thus, they will shamelessly follow it to the letter.

As someone who has never voted for a Republican, and who thinks a second Trump administration would do permanent damage, it’s strange to be accused of being a troll.

Well, one of the reasons you’re being accused of trollery is that you say things (“none of the projections favor her anymore”) that are not simply not true. You also don’t provide backup and proof of your assertions.

Post better.

**that are simply not true

Sorry - I thought people were current on the race.

This is deliberately cunty. Some of us are not breathlessly following every poll at this point in the election. We’re knocking on door, writing postcards, talking to swayable family members.

Every response you give actually augments the idea that you’re a Trump troll rather than lessens it.

Nice self congratulatory post. According to polling data, Trump has surged. Sorry to burst your bubble

Yep, you are definitely a troll. Thank you for proving that.

R350 aka R359 aka R368. Stop posting. Just stop it. Chill. You’re embarrassing yourself. Go ask your mommy for a cookie. Maybe that’ll help.

The only thing surging are amyloid plaques in Trump's brain.

Republican pollsters are dropping dozens of fake polls to skew the averages and make everybody think that they're ahead. They used this same tactic in 2022, which showed a Red Wave.

Simon Rosenberg was one of the lone voices in 2022 to call out Republican pollsters for this tactic.

R372, and if the Republicans are going to challenge the election results this year they need to fabricate evidence of “momentum” now.

[quote]“Tell them, ‘Jill, get your fat husband off the couch, get that fat pig off the couch,’” he went on. ”‘Tell him to go and vote for Trump, he’s going to save our country.’”

^^^So when people say someone has a punchable face, that's what they mean.

He called VP Harris a “shit Vice President” tonight. Yep.

[quote]Now he's talking about the size of Arnold Palmer's dick at rallies...

Apparently Palmer didn't think very highly of Trump, according to his daughter.

"It would presumptuous for me to speculate regarding what Palmer would think about the man who currently occupies the White House. So I asked someone who knew Arnold as well as anyone still alive: his older daughter, Peg, who was born in the mid-1950s before her father rose to prominence.

"My dad was a complicated person," Peg told me when I asked the question last week. "He grew up poor and became rich. He was a Goldwater Republican and believed in the Republican party. He and I learned not to discuss politics together. We saw things very differently, and there was no sense in fighting about it. Apart from our general political differences, he felt I didn't understand how hard it had been for him to make his fortune and the compromises he'd had to make to be successful and stay successful, not just in golf but in the business world. It wasn't as easy as it looked."

As for Trump, Peg recalled, "My dad had dealings with him over the years at some charity fundraisers and a few other events that had to do with Trump's golf courses. My dad cherished golf and he appreciated Trump's support for the game. Trump looked up to my dad, so I suspect he was on his best behavior when they were together. But in the campaign, my dad saw a different side of him."

"My dad didn't like people who act like they're better than other people," Peg continued. "He didn't like it when people were nasty and rude. He didn't like it when someone was disrespectful to someone else. My dad had no patience for people who demean other people in public. He had no patience for people who are dishonest and cheat. My dad was disciplined. He wanted to be a good role model. He was appalled by Trump's lack of civility and what he began to see as Trump's lack of character."

"One moment stands out in my mind," Peg recounted. "My dad and I were at home in Latrobe. He died in September, so this was before the election. The television was on. Trump was talking. And my dad made a sound of disgust — like 'uck' or 'ugg' — like he couldn't believe the arrogance and crudeness of this man who was the nominee of the political party that he believed in. Then he said, 'He's not as smart as we thought he was,' " and walked out of the room. What would my dad think of Donald Trump today? I think he'd cringe."

[quote] He called VP Harris a “shit Vice President” tonight.

I still say he'll call her the n word before this is over.

Yeah, Mike Madrid and Rick Wilson believe it's only a short matter of time before Trump mentions the N word ...

Absolutely love that whenever Trump opens his disgusting little mouth he leaves himself open to endless repulsion, correction, disbelief and contemptuous laughter.

No-one thought the name of Arnold Palmer might enter this late campaign phase. And yet there the surreal sundowner went, with a pointless pathetic old-man locker-room story.

Which in turn allowed the diligent to highlight an elegant dignified takedown from Palmer's daughter - which so coolly states for the millionth time what civilised folk the world over know about Trump. Again, I hope the takedown gets some broad attention. Never know who might be swayed by such loyal understated contempt. Golfers, perhaps.

In other news trumps support from young black men rose only slightly after he used the N word last week,

R384 not the brightest but he can see the future

Trump has moved up 5 points in the TIPP tracking poll in a week. He’s two points ahead this morning.

R388, that’s not how that works, hon.

“ TIPP we may not be the best but 538 says there are only 119 polling groups that are better”

Is there something we don't know about Trump? He sure seems obsessed with Penis size.

That’s not the tracking poll rating dummy.

What DLers have been saying all along:

[quote]If Donald Trump wins the Nov. 5 election, the New York Times will be partly responsible. As the dominant voice in American journalism, the Times could have fundamentally changed the way Trump has been covered not just by its own journalists but by the political media as a whole. It could have stopped using soft, empty language and false equivalence, and made it crystal clear to the public that if elected Trump would turn America into a racist, authoritarian regime where facts don’t matter.

[quote]Meanwhile, the day-to-day coverage treats Trump like a normal candidate, rather than as the wildly dangerous and unhinged felon that he is. Day in and day out, the Times “sanewashes” his dark and unintelligible ramblings. Day in and day out, it treats the divisions about basic facts and democratic rule as just so much partisan squabbling.

[quote]The fault lies with the Times’ selfish, smug, and self-destructive leadership. To be specific: New York Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger and editor Joe Kahn have made it abundantly clear time and again that they prize their so-called “journalistic independence” over any obligation to sound the alarm that electing Trump would be a disaster for the country.

538 says

#1 NYT poll

#2 WashPostPoll

#120 TIPP

R394 can’t even use correct grammar when it posts. Non-American.

R397 not using correct grammar is almost always the sign of an American.

Project much, R398? That’s not true in the slightest.

Trump eagerly speaking about the late Arnold Palmer’s dick size, shows the big influence Lindsey Graham’s major personal time with him is making quite a noticeable impact.

Today is Trump's big debut on the McDonald's fryer. Fucking weirdo

He is calling Biden fat? I've seen bathing suit pictures of Biden, I can't imagine Trump like that and don't want to.

NYT is showing Trump winning.

[quote]NYT is showing Trump winning.

Its goal all along, obviously.

As the @nytimes reported earlier this fall, "he uses swearwords 69 percent more often than he did when he first ran, a trend that could reflect what experts call disinhibition."

It may be the paper of record (according to tradition and legend) but is the NYT relevant?

Surely the people who take the NYT seriously are smart enough not only to get their news from the NYT. Peoria or Tucson won't be impressed. Which is not to say the NYT's reporting hasn't been mystifying.

[quote] "he uses swearwords 69 percent more often than he did when he first ran, a trend that could reflect what experts call disinhibition."

and also:

It’s not the “same with”—it’s different: he has an even chance of being the next President of the USA..

The TIPP Report has clear right-wing posts all over it's site, with a clear anti-Democrat bias. Who the F keeps posting polls like that here?

Clearly its been part of the plan all along to flood the news with low-quality, biased poll results showing Trump in a last minute surge, to set the stage for the inevitable, whining cry-baby counterplay of "they stole the election from me!" after Nov 5th. "I was ahead everyplace, how did she win so many states with so many votes - they're all FAKE". FFS.

[quote]The TIPP Report has clear right-wing posts all over it's site, with a clear anti-Democrat bias. Who the F keeps posting polls like that here?

Hmmmm. Could it be . . . one of our MAGAt trolls?

In response to Trump's shift at McDonald's, some twitterers want #McLegend to trend. I thought they were making fun of Trump, but it seems they're actually impressed with this stunt. You be the judge:

Is this Lincoln Project ad real?! Were there Nazi rallies in the U.S. before the war?

Yes, R419. There was a very famous one held at Madison Square Garden. I think almost all of it is on film.

^ Fred Trump was arrested at a KKK rally.

R416. Yes.

Are you an ignoramus? Yes.

The U.S. Nazi party was founded by George Lincoln Rockwell. If you watched [italic]the Man in the High Castle[/italic], the Nazis named their NYC airport for him.

If you watch “High Castle” know that it is fantasy fiction.

Walt Disney and the Walker family (where the Bushes got their money) did business with Nazis, and many others.

🥴 missing the big picture ^^^

It’s like Trump idealizes an America he’s truly not a part of. It drives him insane that he’s truly not a WASP. He downplays his own ethnicity, which is ironic considering who he admires.

Is he German?

He's looking his age.

By 1990, Trump owed banks and bond holders $3.4 Billion. In June of that year, he missed interest payments totally $73 Million. The banks—Chase, CitiCorp, Manufacturers Hanover, Bankers Trust—agreed to loan him another $65 Million and forced him to hire a CFO. He was permitted a monthly allowance of $450,000.

R426, yes, his grandfather was a German immigrant. I guess he was one of the immigrants who "poisoned the blood of our country"

R428 and he’s on the verge of being the only convicted felon to be elected President (a second time—what’s your point?

Isn’t Trump Scottish too? He’s definitely a WASP.

Not WASP—you overreach the meaning of that acronym.

Being white and Protestant does not = WASP

He posted this on Truth Social.

So in an effort to highlight his claim that Kamala Harris never worked at McDonald’s, Trump pretended to work at a closed McDonald’s where he served pretend orders to supporters pretending to be customers. Hopefully the fries weren’t cold.

Got it ! 👍🏼

Which tapes might come out first-the Apprentice ones or the Epstein ones?

The math ain’t mathing.

[quote]It drives him insane that he’s truly not a WASP.

That Mayflower sailed decades ago. In this very late phase as a loud proud venal vulgarian, he's hitting low notes hard. 'Working' at MacD, talking about a dead golfer's cock, defending Weinstein, growling about getting fat pigs off the couch to vote.

Just a few lowlights from condescending project common man. It's as though some voice has told him his sex crimes and pussy tape haven't hurt his poll numbers, might have helped, so keep on with the locker-room talk in public. And in the catastrophe of this winning the day, his sense of validation will be sickening.

R416 in 1940 there were more than a few American Nazis and Commies. In 1940 many on DL would have been Nazis or commies.

Looking back over 80 years it appears clear now but in 1940 it was not.

There weren’t many Nazis, but there were a lot of American Firsters.

r440, you use a specific nomenclature as the modern American fascist movement used parts of The Tea Party, America First, MAGA and KKK.

But they have been sane washed and Amalgamated into the WHITE Heritage Foundation's Project 2025.

Nothing more than the Klan for the general public.

R440 they leaned heavily facist, did not support fighting the Nazis, so while they may not have been card carrying Nazis like most left were not card carrying commies they were certainly supportive of leaving Hitler alone to do what he wanted.

If Hitler had not declared war on the US it’s possible we would have never been directly involved in the war in Europe. Possible..

R430, just that he’s been a fraud for a long time. Even back then the media wasn’t doing its job. They’d just publish all his inflated numbers. The few who called him out were fired or taken off the story. The banks kept loaning him money because they knew his father had money but that wasn’t part of the loan agreement. Who hired these morons?

R442. Correct—they weren’t Nazis. There were very few Nazis in the U.S. no need to try to rewrite history. The truth works just fine to explain what was going on. Lots of bad history gets posted here.

Crain’s is one of the few media outlets that was reporting the fact that his numbers didn’t make sense, but very few people read that.

This meme is taking off on the Twitter. Many are quite funny.

lol! ^

What is your plan to ban artificial foods?

I read a story his Art of the Deal ghost writer told about his first visit to Trump Tower. He'd researched the building and noticed that a NY Times article reported it was several stories higher than TT actually is. He asked Trump about when he was given a tour. Trump replied that the NYT would publish whatever he told them. Yikes. This was back in the '80s.

R450 Yikes indeed. Yikes x2.

And we both know that if trump said that to someone about the NYT there is almost no chance he would not be truthful about his influence over the times.

Honest and Modest Don was his nickname back then for a good reason..

What a shame.

[QUOTE]Wash Post reports PAC paying Trump’s legal expenses owes more than it has on hand. 😆

Whether or not Trump loses, we know all hell will break loose after Election Day. We know the Cultists are already in place.

The difference between 2020 and now is we have a different person finishing out his term. I hope Biden follows Trump's example of NOT being a lame-duck president. Biden has nothing to lose. He should put as many Executive Orders into effect as he can - doing everything possible to get rid of the FAT ORANGE DISGUSTING PIG once and for all.

Biden even has the Supreme Court decision claiming POTUS is immune in his favor.

We need to be rid of this FUCKING PIG once and for all! Not just us, the entire world!!

A business analyst who covered the Atlantic City gambling beat was interviewed by a reporter for the WSJ when the Trump Taj Mahal Casino opened and he said it would not be profitable. Trump threatened to sue the firm he worked for so he was fired. The analyst sued his former employer and was awarded $750,000. He also sued Trump who settled for an undisclosed amount. Within a year, the Taj was in bankruptcy court. Reached in 2016, he said he was voting for Trump.

Another real estate guy was interviewed on tv around that time and said Trump’s money issues weren’t solely because of a market downturn. He also paid too much for his properties and had a big ego so it was his own damn fault. Trump sued him for $250 million. Trump later dropped the suit if the guy promised not to publicly criticize him again. Then the guy went to work for Trump.

These people are disgusting.

We're certainly not hearing about any plans, but I have no doubt the Biden white house has plans in place to stomp this fascist shit good and hard the moment they try to fuck up election results.

Joe cares too much for the US to let Donald's stormtroopers pull this shit.

We can count on Merrick Garland to act quickly and decisively.

A reminder that Project 2025 outlines a plan to gut FEMA and recommends that Congress change the cost-sharing agreement so the federal government only covers 25% of costs for small disasters, with the cost-sharing reaching a maximum of 75% for “truly catastrophic disasters.”

Oh, no, Trump sued again:

Thin-skinned, narcissistic pile of 💩

He's a dadgum fruitcake!

When the fuck is he going to drop dead?

r464, I've written this a million times but, I'll do it again.

Nobody silently wonders that more than Melania, ALL of his children, and the remnants of the Republican mainstream establishment.

Do I have a shred of evidence for that? Nope. Do I think it's as true as the Sun rising in the East tomorrow? Yes.

Of course I want to see Dump pass away, but there is a part of me that would enjoy him losing and running again in 2028, only for the torment it would cause to the Republican party.

Trump said the hostages in Gaza are most likely dead. What a horrible thing for their loved ones to hear. I wish he was dead.

R466, He would be 82. Fuhgeddaboutit.

That fat fuck won't be alive in 4 years.

The good news about personality cults is they're highly dependent on that personality.

Project 2025 also disbands the Department of Education. Admittedly I didn’t know what it’s responsible for but neither do the numb nuts who favor this. Turns out it’s not something that sets out woke agendas for schools like they believe. It administers Pell grants and student loans so kids can pay for college but also the shithole states that can’t fund their schools get money from the government (Title 1) to run them.

R455 instead of a rant that Biden should do something it would have been nice if you had listed your top 5 things Biden should do in order to get rid of trump forever via exec orders.

r466, if he loses, he will be found to be an insurrectionist and ineligible.

I actually wish the new Congress would do that BEFORE THE INAUGURATION.

Just like the Supreme Court wanted.

Feeble fucker

If Biden did something like that the major press outlets and people on social media would be slamming and making fun of him.

If Trump loses, I can see him declining further and possibly ending up incapacitated due to a stroke or major heart attack. I hope Biden outlives Trump and I could see it happening because Biden doesn't have a shit diet of fast food and junk food. Biden is still riding bicycles. Probably not fast, but I doubt Trump could ride a bike for two minutes before becoming exhausted.

I can see Trump starting a residency in Vegas. Probably in his own hotel. Rant and rave and dance for 3 hours every Friday and Saturday night.

[quote]I can see Trump starting a residency in Vegas. Probably in his own hotel. Rant and rave and dance for 3 hours every Friday and Saturday night.

That's the perfect post-election setup, R475. The MAGA faithful would be glad to make the pilgrimage to Las Vegas for a glimpse of their dear leader. He could charge $500 a ticket and they would still show up in droves. He can invite his water-carrying sycophants from Congress as guests. I mean, who wants to miss out on an opportunity to see a 78 year old manchild ranting about his 'victory' in 2020, how he's being persecuted by evil democrats and all the famous cocks he's seen? It also will be a chance to unload some of the leftover Trump 2024 paraphernalia for purchase at outrageous prices, which will end up in some hidden slush fund that benefits him. Better book in advance, the show opener featuring a MTG vs. Boebert showdown is almost sold out.

This is the perfect post-election setup.

Good lord. How any Hispanic could vote for this vermin is beyond me.

Does anyone actually believe that if he gets in office, there will be legal Hispanic citizens caught up in his grand deportation plans. A man who doesn't give a damn about constitutional rights or the rule of law if they are in opposition to what he believes in right. As a minority, I don't understand how some don't recognize the threat and want him in power again with all of the bullshit he's said and done.

R487, As a Nevada resident, that's a great idea. They can go to Vegas, spend lots of cash in the casinos, and listen to orange Hitler rant and rave. That's less in taxes that I'll have to pay. We need some serious highway upgrades here

My mouth dropped open listening to Nicole Wallace read this verbatim, and it wasn’t because she said “fucking” on air.

I know Trump is a piece of shit who needs to be in prison and waterboarded every day for the rest of his miserable life, but I was still stunned by his level of cruelty.

What was that all about?

His recent vulgarity on stage is further proof that he said it. If he will call the VP shit on camera. If he will call her retarded, disabled, dumb and not black then of course he said a “fucking Mexican” in private. That’s probably mild. I had heard most of the article on various podcasts over the last few months. For example about him assuming that generals earn 5 million and then calling them idiots and losers when he learned that they earn less than 200K. Earning so little (by his standards) was a sign that they must be losers with no other options so he considered them as disposable as a cleaner in one of his hotels. Also the story about not wanting to lower the flag for McCain and wanting to shoot immigrants in the legs.

Looking forward to this near-future thread:

[quote]trump Has Officially Lost - Part I

Soon. soon.

We've heard about the Apprentice outtakes where he used all kinds of vulgarity and racial slurs. Of course Mark Burnett would never release the tapes. And even if he did, Trump's fanboys and girls would love it. Reich wing media would just put it out there that it's fake AI and the rest of the media would repeat that.

But I am still thinking he'll call Harris the 'n' word. Will it make a difference? Probably not.

This, R496

[quote]Good lord. How any Hispanic could vote for this vermin is beyond me.

The "f-ing Mexican's" sister has come out to defend Trump, saying she voted for him today.

Trump's ability to convince people he disdains to wholeheartedly support him is truly frightening.

Marshall Mathers has again drawn his line in the sand, going on the campaign trail with President Obama for Harris/Walz.

(But donald's got Robert Ritchie, so there!)

I'm 74 yoa - if I live another 16 years (to 90!!) I bet they'll still be talking about the Orange Carbuncle even though he'll be long gone by then! I've already voted so I'm tuning out and enjoying the beautiful Fall weather here in central VA. Cheers kids!

I just read that he's cancelled another appearance. He doesn't want to answer questions, in my opinion. He's still holding rallies.

He will just answer whatever questions (probably pre-approved) Joe Rogan asks and that will be it. A part of me think that the appearance on Rogan's podcast might not mean much because it's likely Rogan's right-wing fans probably decided to vote for Trump a long time ago.

The response from Vanessa Guillen's sister. The sister doesn't fucking get that people can two-faced. Sure Trump was nice to the family when he met with them in person. But, it's likely he talked shit about them afterwards. I feel sorry for Vanessa, but my god the sister is fucking stupid. Trump has a history of stiffing vendors, construction companies, and the Trump University crap. It's not surprising he would bitch about 60k funeral bill. Multiple women in addition to E. Jean Carroll have said that he sexually harassed and abused them. Epstein had numbers of Trump security staff on a list for many years. Stories of Trump disparaging military veterans have gone back years. Again Vanessa's sister Mayra is stupid as fuck to vote for a racist and misogynist pig. Also let's not forget that Mayra is ignoring the J6 events

[quote]Mayra Guillen [quote]@mguilen_ [quote]Wow. [quote] I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members.

Ana Navarro tears apart Trump and comments on the "it shouldn't cost 60k to bury a fucking Mexican" shit from Trump. Mayra Guillen should listen to Ana, but she won't.

As to Liz Cheney giving this ‘good life’ advice:

“Don’t listen to Lindsey Graham, number one. It’s good life advice, actually,”

In fairness to Miss Lindsey, she’s long been smitten by the love bug 🐞 when it comes to Trump, and she’s ferociously defending and promoting her mango daddy sweetness. That has to be admirable.

From the NYT:

[quote]During a meandering speech at a rally in Greensboro, N.C., that stretched for nearly two hours, Mr. Trump called Ms. Harris a “low IQ individual” and at one point said she “froze like a dog” when her teleprompter froze. He made an unfounded insinuation that she might have a drinking problem and may be abusing drugs, and said she was not “mentally or physically able” to be president, as he himself stumbled at times to recall his own words during his speech.

What a sad, abusive, pathetic man. She should sue his ass for slander about the drinking and drugs part.

Also, what is it with him and dogs?

R511, it’s so transparent to anyone who has three brain cells that he’s projecting very specifically. He’s the one who froze like a dog when his teleprompter went out. He has a drug abuse problem. HE is not mentally or physically able to serve.

It’s infuriating.

^The Trumps hate dogs and pets. Bone Spurs embraces canine killer, Kristi Noem.

Junior, sometimes with Eric and prior with Senior, slaughter exotic, and sometimes endangered, wildlife trapped in hunting enclaves afforded to wealthy clients.

They've all lost it. I watch CNN nightly. I hope I saw dissembling last night because the conversation around the Hitler comments was sickening.

[quote]Scott Jennings - he's got to have a job lined up in a Trump administration.

Jennings looks like he's aged 10 years in the past few months. It's like he's rotting from within.

He accused Nancy of being on booze and pills too. He's always projecting. He supposedly doesn't drink so pill it is.

r515 - the bottom will be endless for the rest of us if 'they' take control. It will be crushing to the global economy except for the top 0.1% but the rubes who lap DUMP's shit up won't know the difference. They think he's Gods gift to humanity and don't see anything wrong with how he behaves or what he blurts out.

The treasury will become DUMPS piggy bank and the military will be his government. If they don't follow orders he will remove them and bring in J6 types and militia groups (paid from the treasury) to implement his (Project 2025) plans. His denial of knowing anything about Project 2025 is rather weak since he blows up when linked to any other type unscrupulous scheme the media pins on him. So many don't really follow Govt. in any capacity and voting is an inconvenience. Most don't want to know anything about anything beyond their little bubble of existence. If gas is 1.89 a gallon (during the Pandemic) and they can buy cheap food and lottery tickets then little will change with the masses.

From WaPo yesterday... three non-partisan economists examined what would happen if he undertakes his mass deportations, imposes tarriffs and messes with Federal Reserve independence:

"For everyday Americans, reality would become a nightmare: Trump’s plan would shrink the nation’s gross domestic product by $8 trillion over a second presidency, in today’s money. That is more than a quarter of the nation’s economic output in 2024. At the end of that term, prices would be about 25 percent higher. Employment would tank. The dollar would sink."

That's an economic depression. And that's before he leaves Ukraine to Putin and Taiwan to China because no new wars. Where does that leave American interests in the end?

[quote]Trump...said she “froze like a dog..."

Whereas Trump dozed like a frog.

My European friend sent me the clip from the Fox interview where, when pressed on the dogs and cats remark, he says 'what about the goose, geese, gooses'. The message was just 'HOW'

Hi, I'm KAH-ma-lah, Harris. And for all you dumbasses who do not know, I graduated from Howard U, an HBCU, even if you don't think I'm Black, my college was, and I went to the University of California's Hastings College of the Law. I then went to work for the district attorney of Alameda County then the San Francisco District Attorney's Office and later the office of the city attorney of San Francisco. I was elected Attorney General of California in 2010, and reelected in 2014. If you do not think I have experience you can lick my multicultural pussy. A pussy that Trump will never grab. In 2017, I was elected to the US Senate from California. I was appointed to the Judiciary Committee, where I made Brett Kavanaugh cry like the little bitch he is. If Black men think I don't have the political cojones to be president, they haven't been paying attention. I will cut Putin's ball off.

For those who can't translate dog whistle: In other words, he moved one step closer to calling her the N word.

How many Americans, especially MAGAts, have any idea what fascism is? It's like saying, " He's left-handed" to them.

I wish Kamala had turned to Trump during their debate and said "Can you define a fascist, a communist and a Marxist for me? Because you've called me all three and nothing I have proposed or supported falls into any of those categories."

[quote]How many Americans, especially MAGAts, have any idea what fascism is? It's like saying, " He's left-handed" to them.

It's true that many, most, MAGAts aren't blessed with much intelligence, by definition, otherwise they wouldn't give their cult Felon a second of their time. Trump's Neo-Nazi crowd can only have celebrated their leader's Adolf love. But Kamala going on the record so prominently about fascism and Hitler a) could persuade some (incensing) undecideds who might once have seen a film about WWII; and b) puts America on notice about just what is at stake, be they phds or functional illiterates. Dee Plorable might even have googled the word 'fascist', to find out how outraged she should be.

We’re confident and happy about orange daddy’s chances!

Now they've done it........ they have made an enemy of nuns. Bad move.

Sister Kathy is not having any of this.

I'm old enough to remember when Trump and his MAGAts were lying about the Biden administration withholding aid from Florida and North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because they were red states.

'In early September 2020, wildfires tore through eastern Washington state, obliterating tens of millions of dollars of property, displacing hundreds of rural residents and killing a 1-year-old boy. But then-President Donald Trump refused to act on Gov. Jay Inslee’s request for $37 million in federal disaster aid because of a bitter personal dispute with the Democratic governor."

Oooh, that's gotta smart.

The ideology of fascism is associated with Italian journalist and politician Benito Mussolini, who articulated a new political ideology in the 1920s. Mussolini had been a socialist as a young man and had grown frustrated at how hard it was to organize people. No matter what socialists tried, they seemed unable to convince their neighbors that they must rise up and take over the country’s means of production. The efficiency of World War I inspired Mussolini to give up on socialism and develop a new political theory.

Mussolini rejected the equality that defined democracy and came to believe that some men were better than others. Those few must lead, taking a nation forward by directing the actions of the rest. They must organize the people as they had during wartime, ruthlessly suppressing all opposition and directing the economy so that business and politicians worked together. Logically, that select group of leaders would elevate a single man, who would become an all-powerful dictator. To weld their followers into an efficient machine, they demonized opponents into an “other” that their followers could hate.

This hierarchical system of government was called “fascism” after the bundle of rods tied around an axe that was the ancient Roman symbol of authority and power. Italy adopted it, and Mussolini’s ideas inspired others, notably Germany’s Adolf Hitler. These leaders believed that their new system would reclaim a glorious past with the ideology of the future, welding pure men into a military and social machine that moved all as one, while pure women supported society as mothers. They set out to eliminate those who didn’t fit their model and to destroy the messy, inefficient democracy that stood in their way.

But while today we associate fascism with this European movement, its foundational principle—that some men are better than others and have the right and even the duty to rule over the majority—runs parallel to that same strand in United States history. Indeed, Nazi lawyers and judges turned to America’s Jim Crow laws for inspiration, and Hitler looked to America’s Indigenous reservations as a way to rid a country of “unwanted” people.

Just to be clear, Donald Trump isn't smart enough to be a fascist.

His narcissism, amorality and vulgarity just look like fascism. He's not smart enough to embrace any ideology. That would require thought instead of desire.

No surprise his rally today was dark. Migrants are coming to every town. The USA is a dump. There will be a recession on Jan 21 if he’s not elected. He’s shutting down CBS, ABC, MSNBC. He’s coming after any publication that does not cover him favorably. It’s total fascism.

R547, Trump represents failure. Everything sucks; everything is dying or dead or should die. That’s his constituency: the bitter and miserable.

R546 No, Trump alone isn't smart enough to be a Fascist. But many of the people behind him, (I'm not talking about his fat asian campaign manager. I'm talking about the billionaire funders like Peter Thiel, Rupert Murdock, Elon, etc), ARE.

Don't piss off the nuns, they have connections in high places.

R547 And its absolutely fucked up that he's got so many supporters treating him as the second coming, while those of us in the real world see the shit storm ahead if he gets anywhere near the White House again.

I refuse to believe the stupid, mean old man will win.

Republicans pretend to be holy rollers but they'll slander nuns to prop up their voter fraud lies

R552 He won't win. But like in 2016, he might "win".

NY Post is Fascist-owned, Fascist-run.

Re: R544. Obviously it was General John Kelly who gave strong background for considering Trump a fascist. Kamala rightly amplified this view for the public good. She didn't call Trump Adolf Hitler, she repeated that Kelly said Trump cited the fuhrer approvingly.

So (but of course) Trump is lying about what Kamala said. And Trump hasn't denied praising Hitler to a US General.

It was Trump’s own go pick who actually called him Hitler.

Rob and I are watching this going down from afar but wonder if the Jewish vote for TFG would disappear now after all the Hitler stuff being hurtled around? What do Jared and Ivanca think of this, have they been seen anywhere?

What from I understand the Jewish vote will be overwhelmingly for Harris. The 20% ish who vote for Agent Orange are either filthy rich or staunch zionists. Nothing will move them.

Jared and Ivanka are mostly in their bunker. Ivanka emerged for a Taylor Swift concert and Jared was in the news because his ties to Saudi Arabia are being investigated. The 2 billion that the Saudis gave him is generating a 40 million dollar income - swamp draining at its finest!

Trump is the Triumph of The Klan!

[quote]His narcissism, amorality and vulgarity just look like fascism. He's not smart enough to embrace any ideology.

Isn't that what being a fascist leader always boils down to, though? You can't tell me Stalin was embracing an ideology--either communism or fascism. He was just expressing his narcissism, amorality and paranoia (you forgot that one with Trump: it's an important component of all of them too). The intelligentsia are the ones who embrace the ideology, and they are the first to be disappointed when the regime commences because the leader of a non-liberal ideology is just ALWAYS like this.

It’s worth every penny of that $1.99 a month just to find out that Stalin was not a Communist.

She always requires a “daddy”.

R599, thank you.

^ Oops R559 that should read.

Trump is holding a rally in Allentown, PA, Tuesday evening. Venue seats between 8500--10,000.

Meanwhile, Walz was in Allentown today, all very hush-hush secretive, multiple early-dismissals for three districts' schools for possible road closures, nobody knew nothin'.

Turns out he visited a small Dominican-cuisine restaurant.

Kamala, where are you?

[QUOTE] Kamala, where are you?

Are you joking? Try harder, Trollina.

[QUOTE]all very hush-hush secretive, multiple early-dismissals for three districts' schools

Trump actively harmed Asheville residents by delaying hurricane relief traffic and worse -- citizens couldn't get to jobs on time, or medical appointments , and ironically, in one case meeting with an insurance adjuster.

#ETTD.

^ Sorry, forgot link.

And don't forget his cute little congratulatory fry pin!!!

[quote]Kamala, where are you?

I trust this answers your question?

R567, WTH are you on about? I'm sensibly suggesting that maybe Kamala could come to the Allentown/Lehigh Valley zone, given her opponent is. YOU try harder, MORON.

R568, WTH are you on about? What has Allentown,PA, got to do with hurricane relief and road closures there?

Same to you, r570. Yeah, yeah, Beyonce. Try checking the news to learn which state is more crucial for Harris/Walz: Texas or PENNSYLVANIA?

I'll wait.

[quote]Texas or PENNSYLVANIA?

She was in PENNSYLVANIA earlier this week. She's in Texas to support Colin Allred, who we could REALLY use in the Senate, don't you think?

[QUOTE][R568], WTH are you on about? What has Allentown,PA, got to do with hurricane relief and road closures there?

Are you as unaware as he was about which state Trump was in, bitch? Asheville, not Allentown you stupid cunt.

Look back to r568 - Asheville is in North Carolina, not Pennsylvania. Asheville got flooded and destroyed and Narc Trump’s campaign descended on the area, clogging recovery traffic so he could aggrandize himself yet again!

R571 means well, but is not well.

Girls, Girls, GIRLS!!!

Biden got it right when he was quoted as saying a Trump was "a sick fuck."

month late

What’s with ABC and other networks having Miss Lindsey featured on morning news shows EVERY weekend?

She was feisty and defensive this morning. Did she have couple of drinky poos just before taping?

^workable link

R579, that link worked just fine. It takes you to X.

R579 Oh please. When has anyone ever used “joy” and “Trump” in the same sentence?

It should be obvious that there is nothing Lindsay Graham won't say or do, including the morning rounds on Sunday, for attention and company. He is a desperate, lonely old closet case with nothing.

Lady Lindsey's silvery locks look decent, but those rheumy eyes...nothing that a few bourbon shots can't fix. Amirite? 🥃 *hic*

I wish the Harris campaign would run commercials about the history of anti-immigrants in this country. To remind Italians, Jews, Polish people, etc., that their ancestors who came to this country were also thought of as "other," as not whites. And subject to some of the hate being visited on now against Black/brown immigrants.

R584, Voters do not want classroom lessons. They, we, want to hear a candidate's plans and proposals.

Clearly, a Trump voter most values his plans and proposals of vengeance, "retribution," mass deportation, "Christian" White supremacy and favoritism over other races and religions, loyalty oaths for Civil Service jobs, higher prices on imported goods, resignation from NATO and the concomitant defense of co-signatories, Russian hegemony in Europe, media as propaganda conduits, and worse.

But thank goodness for the silver, no, gold lining of our future reading about bigger yachts for Musk and Bezos.

Trump has these signs all over town that simply say "Kamala = High Prices Trump = Low Prices. Trump = Safety Kamala = Crime. And on and on .The Harris campaign needs to copy those.

Because Part IV is now winding down, here's where we can pick up the torch and carry on:

Few other Republicans can eat Trump's shit in public with zeal and gusto like Miz Lindz.

The rest of the Republican Party has its skirt pulled over their heads.

[quote]Trump has these signs all over town that simply say "Kamala = High Prices Trump = Low Prices. Trump = Safety Kamala = Crime. And on and on .The Harris campaign needs to copy those.

People with those signs = A visual way to say "A dumbass lives here"

Low Prices? They can't even find a credible economist to say Trump's concepts of a plan would actually lower prices. The general consensus is that the things he plans to do would hurt the economy and drive up prices. And him acting as though the country was a crime-free Mayberry during his presidency is more bullshit. The deadliest mass shooting in the country's history occurred on his watch in Las Vegas (2017) and crime rates have declined under Biden. He's a compulsive liar and con artist.

Trumps Nazi-Palooza at Madison Square Garden, was a great closing argument for America

to VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRATS.

MAGAts are the 27% of Americans who hate everyone else, and THEY WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER is simply a brilliant way to shrink your Minority Party to the barest minimum.

When the schoolyard bully runs for class president, we laugh at him.

Trump = Criminal Kamala = Prosecutor

Trump = No Border Bill Kamala = Yes, Border Bill

Trump = Project 2025 Kamala = Freedom

Trump = VP Vance Kamala = VP Walz

Trump = No Choice Kamala = Pro Choice

R591 keep up the good work in no time at all you will have convinced the trump supporters here on DL to vote Harris.

Trump in Allentown:

[quote]If something goes wrong and Marjorie Taylor Greene with that beautiful blond hair is driving down the highway in a hydrogen car and the problem with the hydrogen car, if something goes wrong, it’s like the atom bomb went off. You’re not recognizable. But they say, ‘We think we have it under control.’ That’s not good enough. They’ll say, ‘We thought it was Marjorie Taylor Greene riding down the middle of the turnpike but she’s no longer recognizable. We found some of her.’

^ We should be so lucky to have Cro-Marge get blowed up.

Marge blowed up real good

R595 made me laugh. I mean, it shouldn't for a lot of reasons, but fucking hell... this cannot be real. We are all trapped in the same nightmare. But it's a Coen Brothers or Christopher Guest nightmare.

Our Miss Lindsey campaigns for Mike Rogers in Michigan. That lady sure gets around.

Michigan please keep her. We don’t ever see her.

I hope Miss Lindz gets some BBC while in Michigan!
