On Monday, I mused that Trump would end up being a sad joke, and that it seems to be happening now. I managed to time that right on the mark.
At the debate last night, not only did Trump tell lie after lie, but he must have run out of lies to tell, because he kept repeating the same lies over and over again. He even repeated the lie about immigrants stealing pets to eat them, after the moderators pointed out that it was not true. But Trump just had to argue with them, blurting out that he “saw it on TV”. That’s Trump’s idea of a debate?
Harris killed. Even Fox News couldn’t spin the debate for Trump. After the debate, Fox host Jesse Watters tried to claim that there were “no winners”, but acknowledged “This was rough. This was pretty intense at times.” Watters also admitted “This race just got tighter.”
The chief political analyst for Fox, Brit Hume, was more direct. “This was pretty much her night”. Hume also admitted that Trump was baited by Harris, and took the bait every time (he just can’t help himself). Trump fell back on being the complaining victim, which Hume called “the old grievances that we had long thought Trump had learned were not winners politically.”
Hume also complimented Harris, saying, “She kept her cool.” Host Bret Baier asked Hume, “You’re saying she had a good night?” to which Hume retorted, “I’m saying she certainly did.”
I wish there was some way to determine if the debate actually changed the trajectory of the presidential race. Or at least causing some Magat to rethink their tattoo.
The Harris campaign wanted to leave both microphones on all the time, and then goad Trump into saying something stupid. Not that he won’t say a bunch of stupid things anyway.
Instead, only the person speaking will have an open mic tonight. I wish they had done this instead!
Trump’s rally on Sept 8 in Wisconsin is showing Donald Trump’s increasingly stinking of desperation. And it is driving him into an apocalyptic fantasy world where it is not clear whether he can remember anything. In his speech, he forgot the name of North Dakota governor Doug Burgum, who was one of the people he considered for his VP. And he strangely called Elon Musk by the name of “Leon”. He also started attacking his own lawyers. Things were so crazy that his attendees started leaving early.
Historian Heather Cox Richardson has a full article about it.
I’ve long thought that Trump would end up being a sad joke, and it seems to be happening now.
Donald Trump’s national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said to the NY Times “President Trump believes anyone convicted of a crime should spend time behind bars.” When NBC News asked if this also applies to Trump’s own convictions, Leavitt responded “President Trump believes criminals should spend time behind bars, unlike Kamala Harris, who wants to eliminate cash bail.”
Well, there you have it. Donald Trump, according to his campaign’s press secretary, says that Donald Trump should spend time in jail, even while his (numerous and largely baseless) appeals are considered, because he has been convicted of a crime, which makes him a criminal.
This is an incredibly powerful video from the Lincoln Project. It points out graphically what Republicans would have to do to enforce their bans on abortion. They would have to take away your rights and freedom. Which is exactly what Project 2025 plans to implement.
Trump claims (lies) that he knows nothing about Project 2025, but he just yesterday he gave a speech at a conference sponsored by The Heritage Foundation, who wrote Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation also sponsored the Republican Convention. And much of Project 2025 was written by Trump’s associates, including JD Vance, who wrote the forward for it.
All these Republicans who now pretend to support Donald Trump? They knew, and told people (in public), that Trump was a tinpot conman, who was a mortal danger to our country. We even have video.
By now, most people know about Trump and his campaign’s trip to Arlington National Cemetery, to use it as a political prop, which is illegal. They also used it to create a campaign video, which is also illegal.
In breaking news, we now know why Trump went to Arlington. This is an important point, since Trump has never given a rat’s ass about any dead soldiers.
What would happen if Trump becomes president again?
On January 21, 2025, the following executive order is announced: “All US schools must issue students copies of ‘Quotations from Chairman Trump’ for their morning devotionals.”
Mike Lindell gets humiliated by a 12-year-old at the DNC, and Trump whines about Obama’s joke about Trump’s “size”. It’s everything you need to know about the convention.
If Trump wants to know “who has the biggest size”, all he has to do is look out the window.
Stephen Colbert asks where Melania Trump has been hiding out, and finds her at the Democratic Convention. As usual, Laura Benanti as Melania is hilarious.
