These days it’s more about ancient alien astronauts.
Trump’s campaign cut Tony A’holes bit about calling Kamala a cunt. They knew what they were getting.
These assholes commit atrocities because they love HIM. So of course it’s a ‘Love fest’.
I’m now picturing a Weekend at Bernie’s-style presidency where a lifeless corpse is propped up in the Oval Office and visitors are fooled into thinking he’s still with us. Let’s face it, it’d probably be an improvement.
I saw a video showing trump quite obviously grimacing in pain at a recent rally. You could see that he was trying hard to hide it, but he couldn’t. I think something happened to him and they are just saying exhaustion to cover for him.
If he wins, I really don’t think he will last long and vance is not going to be an improvement.
Given recent events, they’re planning a new approach to their programming:
(NB this is actually from the Daily Show)
Trump did not pay for, endorse, or have or had any knowledge of this ad, but I will lay it at his feet because he made it possible by his degradation of the political discourse and society in general.
As the Daily Show piece (funny!) that @Gyrate posted shows, apparently they do still have that ‘all Hitler’ reputation.
Still, they could always segue to ‘MAYBE HITLER WAS ACTUALLY AN ANCIENT ALIEN!’ docos if they really want to mix it up a bit.
Anything with “love” in it sticks in his Swiss-cheesed brain. (Has he ever mentioned Kim Jong Un without mentioned the “love letters”?) And it’s obvious why: he has never either felt it, or inspired it. He’s obsessed with what he cannot have.
Yeah, no doubt. But seriously, folks: his family and immediate handlers will have no hesitation in dosing him in a way that will shorten his life—so long as it gets them the power they crave. (And of course they’d have MORE power if he’s actually incapacitated, and they are the ones making the decisions/scooping up the cash.)
I am pissed off because even though technically it is Mitch McConnell who was behind it, he enabled this:
They sure can move quickly when they want to!

I figure these evil phuques feel safe in pulling the same shit about once every generation:
The NAACP sued Florida after the election for violating the Voting Rights Act (VRA). As a result of the settlement, the company that the Florida legislature entrusted with the purge—the Boca Raton–based Database Technologies (DBT)—ran the names on its 2000 purge list using stricter criteria. The exercise turned up 12,000 voters who shouldn’t have been labeled felons. That was 22 times Bush’s 537-vote margin of victory.
No one could ever determine precisely how many voters who were incorrectly labeled felons were turned away from the polls. But the US Civil Rights Commission launched a major investigation into the 2000 election fiasco, and its acting general counsel, Edward Hailes, did the math the best that he could. If 12,000 voters were wrongly purged from the rolls, and 44 percent of them were African-American, and 90 percent of African-Americans voted for Gore, that meant 4,752 black Gore voters—almost nine times Bush’s margin of victory—could have been prevented from voting. It’s not a stretch to conclude that the purge cost Gore the election. “We did think it was outcome-determinative,” Hailes said.
Trump says he will ‘protect’ women, ‘whether the women like it or not’
Fuck you, you piece of shit.
How has the disgraced, CONVICTED FELON, former President Trump pissed you off today?
He’s still above ground.
You know, I never believed it when people said Trump didn’t expect to win in 2016, but I believe it now. He’s circling the drain, mentally and physically, and he knows it, and the only reason he hasn’t fucked off and gone home is because he knows this is the last chance he’ll have to soak in the adoration of his beloved rubes. I’ll have to dig to find it, but there’s a rally clip from a few days ago (before the MSG fiasco) where he was saying something like “It’s sad that soon we won’t be able to do this any more”. He knows that he’s going to lose, and once he does, nobody is going to listen to him anymore.
ETA: Aha, here it is.
Yes, the MSG rally struck me as a last hurrah, of sorts. Oh, he’s been doing smaller ones in the last couple of days (would his garbage truck stunt count as a rally?), but MSG was likely the last big blowout one.
Which in a way is strange. As President, his presidential time seemed to be divided between golf, TV watching, continuous rallies, and if there was any time left over, official duties. If he’s hinting that he won’t be able to hold rallies any more, then it seems to me that he is either thinking that he is going to lose the election, or that some health matter will prevent him from holding rallies. Both are within the range of probability, but I’m tending towards the former.
Of course, if he loses the presidential election, there is nothing preventing him from holding rallies as a private citizen, but then we paraphrase a question from the 1960s: “Suppose Citizen Trump gave a rally and nobody came?”
Trump is the same age now that Biden was when he was saying Biden was too old to be elected president, and he’s in far worse shape now than Biden was then (and Biden is STILL in better shape, for that matter). I don’t think he’s gonna be in any shape to be doing this for much longer.
Neither do I, but remember, we’re talking Trump. He likes, he wants, to be seen as a strongman. A strongman doesn’t get ill or weak.
Plus, remember how he declined the anaesthetic when he was hospitalized during his presidency? Why? Because he didn’t want Pence to be President, even for a minute. I can’t see him saying, “Well, I’m President again, but I’m not feeling well. Hey, JD, can you look after things for a bit, while I go to the hospital?”
I’m with you—I think that the thought that he can, and will likely, lose, is starting to settle into his brain. He might be seeing that “Make America Great Again” as a slogan is starting to lose its lustre after eight years, while Harris’s “We’re not going back” is gaining ground. He might be noticing that the crowds he attracts are not as big as they once were, and he might be seeing his “record-setting crowds” wandering out of his rally venues before he’s finished. Hell, he might be thinking to himself, “She gets 75,000 people at the Ellipse, and I’m reduced to holding a press conference from a garbage truck.” Whatever it is, I think he’s finally realized that he can lose, and lose fairly. Or bigly. Or both.
The prison warden may have something to say about that.
“MAGA! Let’s Make Attica Great Again!”
That ol’ orange boy ain’t well.
Yeah, we’ve all had our clumsy moments with doors and cars and such but he had difficulty just walking over to the garbage(!) truck. And he can’t hardly manage steps now either.
He got in the wrong ‘door’ of that garbage truck. And really, his MAGA slogan painted on a garbage truck? Ummm. What?
