He wasn’t well though of, even by the groups that didn’t work directly for him. ---

Convincing your girlfriend that she’s crazy is called gaslighting and it’s a dick move. Convincing her that she’s a robot with artificial intelligence and implanted memories is called bladerunning and it’s a Philip K. Dick move. ---

I have to admit that this seems the likeliest explanation. I’m still in a daze from the realization that if Kamala Harris did even a _tiny_ fraction of the dementia-suggesting actions Trump has racked up this week, there would be six-inch-high headlines in the NY Times and non-stop coverage on every legacy-media outlet: > [@](#): > > **HARRIS CONDUCT BIZARRE, DISQUALIFYING** But for Trump: no.

Yet another judge in another southern state has blocked GOP attempts at voter suppression.

I recall a meme that circulated during Trump’s term that said, “this whole thing could have been avoided if someone had told Trump that Obama could hold his breath for 20 minutes.” ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Or maybe his addled brain simply couldn’t process what to call people from AZ and ended up with that mess as a result. Azure… isn’t that a shade of Blue? Could he be complaining about people, who he is generalizing as Asian…who are voting Blue… and who can dance millions of times better than he can? Personally, I think [the whole world can dance better than he can](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qTFGmgfei4)… and aside from Russia, Iran, and North Korea… if given a choice would actually vote Blue. ---

Latest Conman grift going well, not. Seems his crypto scam being orchestrated by unsavory friends had a bad opening with the site-for-suckers crashing. From CNBC and all over the business sector. " \* In a road map given to prospective investors, the WLF proposal says the coin is looking to raise $300 million at a $1.5 billion valuation in its initial sale. - To date, the platform says it has sold more than 788 million tokens at 1.5 cents per token. - That is less than 4% of the 20 billion tokens made available for public sale and amounts to around $11.8 million, still well off the $300 million fundraising target." ---

> [@Sherrerd](#): > > Remember his famous “United Shtates of America”? “Azure” was probably just his first attempt to say “Asian(s)”–it’s the same type of slurring. That was my first thought, but if you play the clip he says Asureasians as one word without pause. So it doesn’t sound like he’s correcting himself. ---
