It is very very close by. Like a 5 minute drive.
Similarly here…
To me the obvious take away is CEOs are surprised because previously while Trump could deliver the most unhinged rants to the chumps at his rallies, he was able to tone it down in private (toned down the unhinged part that is, while still being fascist AF). Where as he can’t any more because senility.
Which may be the only thing that saves the USA from a trump administration where he’s stored incommunicado drooling in his oatmeal in some secure clinic somewhere while the 50 Bannon-like hangers-on who form his inner circle, WH staff, and cabinet get to work subverting and looting the government while releasing the occasional AI-generated deepfake vid of trump appearing to make enough sense that Faux tells their viewers to believe a) it’s a real vid; and b) trump’s plenty mentally together, then enough Faux Followers do believe the BS.
And then the Steal, the real Steal of our whole country by trumpist scum, will be able to proceed unmolested.
Oatmeal? No way. Big Mac!
And they keep coming, I’m concerned this thread may not be able to keep up with Trump’s mental decline
I know you’re mostly kidding, but …
Once his brain quits he won’t know the difference. Oatmeal is pretty standard nursing home fare because the mindless patient can swallow it without chewing and not choke on it.
Besides, it looks about the same going in as it does coming out either end. So the cleanup is easy.
He’s confused because Ronny Jackson diagnosed him with “runny johnson”.
That’s really depressing, but at this point I welcome it.
“President is sort of covers all aspects. It’s politics. It’s executive. It’s executive. And knowing what to do and knowing the feel of a nation and the touch and all these different qualities…”
“I said to everybody, listen, we don’t need votes. We got more votes than anybody’s ever had. We need to guard the vote. We need to stop the steal. We don’t need votes. Don’t worry about votes.”
“Do you ever go into a new home where
you have a shower? Where the water doesn’t come out of the shower head? I take a shower. I want that beautiful head of hair to be nice and wet. I want it to be lathered beautifully…”
“You read where they don’t want to have any water in your dishwasher, so your dishwasher won’t work, and they think that’s good”
“The problem with the Army tanks like cars and like trucks, the problem is that you would have to bring a battery pack along. You’re going to pull it like a little wagon, like a child pulls a wagon. So they want to build a army tank. But, you know, the battery is very big”
“In particular, get, oĥhhhhh, and remember this, wait a minute, Mike Lindell!”
“The monthly cost of a typical mortgage has doubled and triplex. We had it at $2”
He’s got a point about votes.
They don’t need votes. They need to control the counting of the votes.
And his larger point is clear to his news monoculture supporters: everyone you know voted for trump. Therefore the only way he doesn’t win your precinct and the national election by a historic landslide is rampant fraud by Ds. So you all need to refuse to accept losing because the only way trump didn’t win is if they stole it.
He’s been very consistent in pushing that narrative for 10 years now(!) His true believers believe it too.
All the rest of his senile drivel is … senile drivel. If he too has a brain worm like RFK, the worm is aggressively burrowing through his neurons leaving nothing but swiss cheese holes and worm shit in its wake.
I just had an inspiration… brace yourselves
Convict trump’s rapid decline is not senility. It’s the advanced semi-expertimental mind control drugs his Kremlin handlers are filling him with. Without his knowledge and certainly without his consent.
They want a drooling idiot to win. Then they start instructing him what to do. Which instructions he will follow as the dutiful zombie they made him into.
Sleep tight America; 60% of your neighbors love this shit.
Not to worry, this election is in the capable, thoughtful hands of the American voters. …
Oh, fuck. Brace yourselves.
I was driving through Milwaukee earlier this evening. On I-94, just south of downtown, someone’s put up a billboard with a picture of an angry Trump, and the quote “Milwaukee…is a horrible city.”
If it’s this one, the DNC paid for it.
Pretty similar, though the one I saw replaced “where we are having our convention” with ellipses.
Of course, Trump is denying that he said this. And his Xwitter followers are lapping it up, saying that there’s no video evidence of him saying it, so it’s just democratic lies.
Trump challenged Biden to take a cognitive test like he did from Doc Ronny Johnson.
Trump’s doctor’s name was Jackson.
Tom Nichols has a piece in The Atlantic talking about all this, and especially about how the media never holds Trump to account for his obvious mental issues. Instead, it’s all “well, that’s our Trump!”–they might as well play music cues from Leave it to Beaver behind their affectionate “reporting” on his weird remarks. And of course I’m talking about ‘liberal’ outlets like MSNBC and CNN—FoxNews and the other right-wing entities never report on the weird remarks at all.
Nichols had an interesting observation on how Trump’s fans react at rallies:
The media’s blindness to this gets some pithy responses from Nichols:
