Trump has officially LOST IT

Someone should change his diaper.

Is Biden in the room with us right now, Donald?

I told you to hide ketchup!

Time for his dose of Thorazine .

There are two chances of that happening. Fat and slim.

Trying desperately to steal the Harris-Walz spotlight.

What the fuck is he going on about? "Unconstitutionally stolen"? Biden is still the President.

Nah, he’s just pulling out Donald 2016 to jazz up his fan base.

The meltdowns from him and his MAGAts give me so much joy today.

He’s not only a deeply disturbed individual, he has the emotional control (and cognitive capacity) of a toddler. In fact, that’s an insult to toddlers.

The fact that half the US population see this man as fit to lead the country…..beyond depressing.

He must be scared to shit if he really believes that Kamala Harris can depose a sitting president of the United States.

So Trump thinks Biden is so feeble and impaired that he barely knows his own name, but also so smart and cunning that he's plotting to crash the convention, regain the nomination, and participate in another debate? OK, sure.

Trump wanted so badly to run against Biden again, and now that Biden is off the ticket, it's driving him crazy (OK, crazier). The GOP is fucked because they don't have any message besides "Biden is bad." They've got nothing.

Other countries are and have been looking at us in horror. I don't blame them.

Why Trump's Unhinged Rant is Bad for The Dems!- NY Times

America is a country of racist knuckle-draggers wanking off to the bible.

At least now we know.

[quote] if he really believes that Kamala Harris can depose a sitting president of the United States.

Apparently, Kamala Harris became president shortly after she turned black.

Love the capitalization of HUSSEIN, brings me back to 2008, what a wonderful election season that was.

Kamala also acquired magic powers from drinking adrenochrome in the basement of Comet Ping Pong pizzeria!

A brook babbles less and is more coherent.

I don't usually repost his deranged screeds, but I'm making an exception with this one because Trump is in panic mode. He doesn't think like a normal person, because he's never been one. His grandiosity is gone, and now he's so narcissistically battered, he's losing his political instincts. For years, he's force-fed his narrative to a group of fearful, angry, and unhappy people whose acuity or belief system was over-emotionalized and fringe. I don't want to overstate the moment, but even they know this post is astoundingly delusional. Trump is becoming visibly weak. His aura is dissipating. His myth is collapsing. This post is NUTS.

Fucking weirdo.

Where are his advisors, his handlers, his kids? Come and get Dad now, Junior. He should have had his phone taken away from him ages ago.

On the other hand, his implosion, and that of his followers, is delicious to watch.

So. Much. Projection.

He's lost his get out of jail card. Kamala ain't gonna pardon anything.

I hope Kamala releases a press release about this and it’s just the screencap under her official letterhead.

Yep, it wants attention, throwing out every name calling thing he can think of. Too bad we all heard it before and it means nothing anymore. Not even worth covering.

I have a Facebook friend who keeps posting “I stand with Trump” but then takes it down after backlash and embarrassment. I guess he will take his “I stand with trump” banner down again after this.

R24- That's right. His sentencing is when?

The Republican Party needs an Old Yeller moment.

Dems should "swat" Trump with Health and Safety checks.

Welp, he did it again

"Apparently, Kamala Harris became president shortly after she turned black."

IT'S KAMABLA!!!!!

You realize that's how he posts 99% of the time? He's always in "lost it" mode. And yet people eat it right up.

R28 September 18th at 10am. The judge released a statement that all motions to dismiss/delay have been denied and that their asses had better be there.

Stop trying to make "Kamabla" happen, Donald - it's not happening!

No, R33. There is a definite panic that wasn't there before.

If Biden had posted anything 1/100 this ridiculous, his entire party would have abandoned him. I don't get how this kind of shit just slides right off Dump.

Be better, R33. If you want a potato fit for human consumption.

It's always exciting to be there for a psychotic breakdown!!

I’m just waiting for the following tweet in response:

“Baby, baby, stick your head in gravy!”

The cheese has abandoned the cracker.

Do you see the American people and their issues anywhere in that statement?

Is Ronnie Jackson still in charge of medicating him? Someone should tell him that the dosage needs to be either upped or lowered. Whatever it is now, it's not working.

He knows he’s going to lose. And he promised Putin that he’d win. And he’s deranged.

I'm quite sure this isn't helping his unhinged mental state:

Another tweet:

Guys, I can’t even begin to explain how MASSIVE this line for Harris in Philly is. It’s the same place Trump held a rally a few weeks ago. He didn’t even wrap around the building. This is blocks and blocks and blocks of never ending people!!!

@r40, "Nanny, nanny, boo, boo, I'm rubber you're glue... "

@r43, "Whatever it is now, it's not working. "

Yep, time for the morphine drip

R47- Euthanize him. It's the merciful thing to do.

R45 how the hell does he get away with claiming his crowds are like 50,000 people? even when i look it up he isn't being held accountable, the news will just say stuff like that number isn't verified. it's SO OUTLANDISH. the hollywood bowl max capacity is 17.5k for example. it's as plausible as claiming to be 9 feet tall.

Now, THIS is a crowd!!

Not an empty seat in sight in Philadelphia. The energy is electric as the crowd awaits Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

A clinical narcissist [bold]never[/bold] loses! He can cope by maintaining 2020 was "stolen", but if he loses again, that's it.

Just treat him like a very old man and say - yes ,yes, that is very bad. And, then change the topic to the weather or his McDonald's dinner order.

I'm watching the NBC coverage of the Olympics here in Canada and her TV ads are already on the air. What's also great, they are not negative ads, just what she'll be fighting for (American workers and their standard of living, reproductive rights, etc), not a single mention of Trump.

America is a big high school, so the worst thing you can be is weird and uncool.

…aka she’ll actually do work.

I've got nothing.

Neither does he.

They rounded up a bunch of junkies up at K&A, bussed them to the Liacouras Center, and promised them a hit of fentanyl.

That's how you "pack" a house.

Same venue in Philly and compare Harris's crowd today to Trump's last week.

All presidential candidates should be required to take monthly drugs tests.

Nancy Pelosi going CRAZY!

Yikes!

Again, this Shapiro guy is hot as fuck and giving a great, great speech. I did not expect to cry- Holy shit. We have to win.

quote] He knows he’s going to lose.

He knows? I don't. I wish you were right and trailing ten points behind her in the polls. But it's not really happening yet. I can find his posts ridiculous or funny or weird or insane all I want. But he is still having a 50/50 chance of winning. I am still scared.

Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt.

It’s like 2008, but I think even better. The fight wasn’t nearly as hard then, and Kamala is no Obama or Biden. She’s going to speak up for herself and not be bullied by these LOSERS.

There's lots to be hopeful about but there's lots of work to do. The convention will be a great showcase, and Walz has one hell of a stump speech already that he's been shopping across the news programs. Are the systems and infrastructure are in place. Things just need to keep on moving.

I love that gif @ r60, he's totally oblivious to the shade Nancy is throwing. Made him look like the 12 year old school yard bully idiot who just got a "Kick Me" sign taped to his back 😂

“That was an awful performance. I give it two pinnochios!”

[quote] If Biden had posted anything 1/100 this ridiculous, his entire party would have abandoned him. I don't get how this kind of shit just slides right off Dump.

Because Trump's party literally fear his supporters.

[quote] But he is still having a 50/50 chance of winning. I am still scared.

I agree that anything could happen and we need to get out the vote massively. But I think he's running on fumes now and is aware that his trajectory is downward. The momentum is with the Ds and if T-Rump can't come up with something new soon, the window's going to close for him fast. Watch the polls next week and after the DNC.

Not sure about the MAGA congregation, but I feel like the left is not up in arms about him at all anymore. Vance doesn't really turn up the heat either. People just don't care anymore. Nothing seems to trigger the left. He is piling on the insults and yet people shrug "what else is new". The best he gets back from us is "weird'. I love it. It must drive him nuts that we don't get angry anymore. And that is the ONE job his followers asked him to do. All the rest, driving up the economy, develop good policies, even abortion rights, was always just second fiddle.

We’re not even listening any more. [fingers in ears] La-la-la-la-la

What in the assorted blue blazes?

TL;DR

R71- " Owning the libs" was their heroin and when we fail to respond in anger or defense we deny them their fix of their favorite drug. Ignore them, block them, laugh at them ( like Trump they can't handle being laughed at ). Treat like insignificant insects they are. They are emotional vampires, just like Trump.

Has someone explained to Trump that Biden hasn’t stepped down from the presidency?

R75- Would it matter? He would forget what he was told 30 minutes later. His brain is mush.

He never expected Joe to drop out and figured his *sleepy Joe* schtick was a drop kick to the presidency. Now he has to see a woman - a non-Caucasian one to boot - gain popularity over him. He’s a big whiny loser.

"Panic is a pretty sight"

He may be close to a psychotic break.

This tweet is a nightmarish fantasy. He had no plan for running against anyone but Biden—such is the rigidity and lack of political flexibility on the Republican side—and has no idea how to pivot and adapt to new circumstances. They're paralyzed. They've lost their traction. Nothing sticks.

What a dumb cunt he is. He KNOWS HIS NAME IS FAT SISSY WITH THE NO EAR WOUBD. A lot of hot fucking air. He sounds like a dementia suffering old lady.

If he was poor he’d own a beat up old van with words all over it.

Is he smearing his feces on the walls yet? Because that is next. His family should have stopped this long ago.

This is what happens when you threaten Americans. He can fuck right off.

Wow. This is a new lower rung of nut-bar. .I hope he melts down even further, and… slowly. MAGA world deserves a few months of slow-drip humiliation and despair.

She should just call him Dump

@r70, "the window's going to close for him fast."

Wait until Sept. 18th when he gets sentenced. That window ought to slam shut

He officially lost it? He lost it years ago and was never found again

No ideas other than to come up with nicknames. Sad.

Trump is now seeing how much he is hated.

All Dump cares about is stealing. He’s a thief.

I hope he has as many sleepless nights as he has given us.

Update: still nuts.

Aren't Don Jr and Eric big game hunters? Surely, they must have something that could tranquilize him.

When parrots and birds are taken over by high anxiety, they're known to pull out their feathers ... like this:

I've said all along that Trump will end like Jerry Lundegaard at the end of Fargo. Law enforcement will be pulling him out of a shitty motel room in his diapers, clutching a bucket of KFC, and muttering about Crooked Hillary and Sleepy Joe.

R101- I prefer the wood chipper myself.

R102 - that’d leave a yuuuge mess. The biggest mess. The best mess. No ones ever seen a mess like that.

Kamala is sharing her nickname with Nancy. “Crazy” 😴 He’s losing it so bad. I expect Obama’s birth cert will be dusted off and posted again soon.

TRUMP: The VP pick doesn't matter.

*Kamala selects Tim Walz as her VP*

TRUMP: ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOSE WITH WALZ!!!

r79:

His followers eat up that shit. JFK Jr is alive and will show up on this date. The world is ending on that date. Biden will reenter the race and show up at the debate.

But I think it’s not deliberate this time, just a breakdown.

If this guy presented himself to any Emergency Room in America after making this incoherent statement, he would be immediately placed under a 72hr hold. 24 hour observation. Someone in his circle should intervene.

R106 and R108, a really disturbing thing is that professionals feel able to diagnose T-Rump's condition from these increasingly disordered public statements. His campaign really has no discipline or coherence: it's just him and his demons.

I am a bit shocked , but happy to see that most people are completely ignoring the trolls today on Twitter. This is the way. It completely takes away their power.

His campaign = sycophants who genuflect before their cult leader.

Hence the results.

r102, he will get the hot needle for espionage crimes yet to be indicted.

We'll probably never know the amount he grifted while he was in the WH.

The petulant former president with 34 times felony convictions and an actually pending criminal case on coup attempt needs his diaper changed. Badly.

Some readers, psychics, etc. have maintained neither Biden nor Trump will be candidates by November. If these outbursts continue ...

I'm telling ya, screaming the N-word out at a rally by the end of this month.

Or he might go with Uppity Negress.

[quote]I have a Facebook friend who keeps posting “I stand with Trump”

Why do you have this person as your Facebook friend? Part of the reason there are still so many Trump supporters is that normal people still engage with them. They (and the businesses that support him) need to be shunned and ostracized.

Trump seems to be losing 5 IQ points every week. Pretty soon he'll be a quivering mass on the floor in a pile of his own feces.

I still don't understand how he can run since he's an insurrectionist. The Constitution outlaws that. Someone please explain.

R119 because the Supreme Court ruled that he can do whatever the fuck he likes.

There is absolutely nothing normal about Trump or his MAGA supporters. The media treats them like they are just a normal political party. They do not care about democracy or the constitution or our laws. They just want power and to win and to have the minority rule, because they are white and Christian.

Well, R119, the Constitution outlaws it, but doesn't provide for enforcing the prohibition.

The Supreme Court has lost interest in the constitution. They're about other things now, like flying on private jets and generally soaking up that sweet, sweet rich bitch money.

He’s a fucking chump

Congress has the ability to impeach the president, which they did. But the Senate did not convict Trump, they said he will be out of office in a few days and they will leave the criminality of his actions to the courts. Both the FBI and AG Merrick Garland sat on it for over a year before allowing it to go forward. But even then they slow walked it, before appointing Jack Smith as special counsel. If the Senate had properly convicted him as warranted the criminal cases would have had less push back and slow walking because nobody in government has a spine to go after even a former president.

Kamala, get rid of Garland when you become POTUS.

He just got away with grifting $10 million from Egypt. And fat fuck Bill Barr covered it up.

Just another Trump crime to throw on the pile, folks!

"Kamabla"? Trump USED TO BE GOOD AT THIS SORT OF TROLLING.

I'm pretty sure she will r126. And it won't be to revive that old Supreme Court appointment. More of a, get your ass out of town and maybe let somebody do the job you refused to do, kind of thing.

Garland reached the top of his capabilities when he was the Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the DC. He was given too much credit for any position beyond that. He is a moderate with no stomach for prosecuting high profile individuals. He does not deserve to be the US Attorney General, and he apparently also shouldn't have been a Supreme Court Justice.

I am so confused. I thought Biden was not the constitutional President but now Kamala has deposed him as the rightful Constitutional President. Logic and consistency are not a Trump long suit.

What's driving him crazy is the size and intensity of the rallies. That's all that matters to him and he's fading. And he knows it.

OP, what we need is for Trump to get lost. No reward in finding him, please!

R108 When quoting a tweet, please put what you’re quoting inside quotation marks. That way we don’t waste our time clicking through to Txitter.

[quote]What's driving him crazy is the size and intensity of the rallies.

Size queen!

Any woman who votes for Trump should be

I love that the Harris team is trolling Dump.

What worries me are the same old cadre of billionaires like Koch and the Mercers, etc. allied with “libertarian” tech bros like Musk, especially in the wake of the Google decision, which will bring lots of stealth tech money in from the new crop of younger assholes who don’t want to be regulated or forced to pay higher taxes.

Add that to the election deniers being placed strategically in swing states at a time when Trump has the Supreme Court in his pocket.

The 1-2-3 punch of Shapiro-Harris-Walz speeches tonight was thrilling, so much energy and yes, joy — I’ve never seen so much natural political talent together on one stage and all the speeches were on point and highly quotable (and meme-able, my favorite being “Mind Your Own Damn Business!”)

But what keeps keeps me up at night is the reality that evil dudes (in the U.S., Russia, Hungary, North Korea) are pumping money into the Trump machine for reasons of their own, and they can’t be discounted.

^ Well, thank you doomer for killing our buzz 😠

I bet when there's bad news in the family they let you call all the relatives

I'm sure they'll try, R138, but it's not like no one's paying attention.

r120, the next congress needs to vote on that.

Have some fucking confidence in our country, R138. It hasn’t been stolen from us yet.

I think most of those billionaires are too smart to throw their money at a lost cause. And they don't want to be associated with a withered old loser.

It z so hardd to tipe with 1 hand wile readin my prezident tweets

Trump doesn't write his own stuff. Those are Junior's childish, cocaine-addled meltdowns. Trump doesn't use electronic devices. On the rare occasion he has (Jan. 6th) he has borrowed someone else's.

The tirades are identical to Don, Jr.'s. Why hasn't anyone noticed that?

He relies on his sons and doesn't realize they're as stupid as he is.

He dictates his tweets.

I thought Stephen Miller wrote a lot of his tweets.

It’s possible, but the ones he writes himself are dictated.

In interviews, I've heard plenty of people who worked in his administration and know him (like Scaramucci) say that he writes his own social media posts and that they have seen him doing it.

That would explain the spelling errors.

And cofefe

It can't be Don Jr. He and Kimbo are lying somewhere at MAL in a pool of their own sick.

Wtf? Why is he calling her Kambala?

r154 It's Kamabla and it's apparently because she goes bla bla bla. So bad.

Maybe Don Jr will coke himself into a coma. Gargoyle will finish off the lines before she calls 911.

If they ever do debate and he starts some idiotic diatribe about post-birth abortions or some such, she needs to start her rebuttal with “More ‘BLA BLA BLA’ from the failed former president”.

“Well, maybe it’s you and not everyone else.”

Trump is so irate and delusional he tweeted something to the effect that Biden is going to take back the nomination at the convention.

He's lost his shit, literally.

This tirade is very revealing because it offers us a glimpse into his innermost desires, namely that he still wishes Biden was running against him. He knows he's done for and wishes he could return to that time – mere two weeks ago! – where his win was all but assured. He just seems unable and unwilling to deal with the Kamala train heading his way.

I want a complete, very public and very horrible narcissistic collapse.

I will savor it like some fine wine.

I want him to know how hated, scorned and stupid the entire planet thinks he is. That his fucking meth addled qult are the only idiots who like him. The people he hates are the ONLY ones who will have him.

I want it to be fucking UGLY! And public. So very public.

WE DESERVE THIS!

I love a good narcissistic collapse. Only good narcissist is a collapsed one, if you ask me.

When Biden's physical incapacities became ever more alarming, sympathetic high-level concern rightly increased then became decisive.

Trump's mental incapacities are now clearly analogous to Biden's physical decline. It remains to be seen how far he will go before any GOP voices are publicly raised in doubt.

It is though the case that anyone anywhere who seriously questions DJT in any capacity is likely to receive death threats - so just maybe he'll be left to further mental breakdown, on his own terms of sheer unregulated narcissism.

I hope this is as satisfying as watching Joffrey Baratheon choke to death.

I hope nobody is relaxing now. The job isn't done he may be more dangerous than ever.

We aren't R165. We're not stupid.

This guy is weird.

R165 isn't St Petersburg and is about to go on a cigarette break.

The trump Vance campaign is so rattled they are making rookie mistakes like standing Vance and his rally crowd under Kamala's name on a banner. Wonderful optics.

JD asked if he could visit and hump on my fainting couch. I told him an emphatic no, unless I am between him and the couch.

^ This is how we prepare for a JD Vance visit

And yet, nothing will cause the Trumper assholes to admit that they are backing a nutjob.

Self-awareness and humility aren't strong suits for this crowd.

I love how Biden lives rent-free in his (drug addled) head. I hope KH's campaign is similarly researching tactics to royally fuck with him

I wonder if his campaign makes any effort at all to rein in his crazy.

I suspect the Harris campaign has researched how to make a narcissist lose their shit. Get in his brain, maaan.

I really hope this is a turning point for the Democrats and they fight fire with fire against all this right wing media bullshit. It's about three decades overdue. They will never stop until they are utterly and completely defeated.

JD Vance possible post-election endorsements:

There is actually a Vance leather sofa...

I like this

The over-the-topness of the fantasy in T-Rump's tweet—that Biden will "CRASH the convention"—like he'll fight his way up to podium through security and all the delegates and seize the nomination back from his "hated" rivals—is so obviously a projection of what T-Rump himself would do if the Republicans tried to ease him off the ticket. That's the anxiety that's eating at his disordered mind as he slips in the polls.

[quote] Kamala, get rid of Garland when you become POTUS.

I hope she taps Shapiro for Attorney General. And Pete Buttigieg for her Chief Of Staff.

He is being interviewed by Musk and Musk just posted on Twitter that Kamala is a communist. Two man babies together.

I don't know. The Cold War is over. I'm not sure how many people under 70 are swayed by the ridiculous and patently false "She's a communist!!!" smear. Those inclined to agree were probably going to vote for Dump anyway.

Yep. 45 is generous for the age that anyone had would have any memory of this heavy Red Scare crap.

[quote] I'm not sure how many people under 70 are swayed by the ridiculous and patently false "She's a communist!!!"

But it worked for Roy!

R185 Bingo!! That is exactly what he would do and his followers would watch it like they’re watching Real Housewives WWE edition.

I’m reading Nancy’s new book and she says that on day 1 at the WH, the first thing he said to her was “I won the popular vote” and proceeded to tell her that illegals and dead people voted for Clinton. My stomach sank reading that. She also said he and his team served pigs in a blanket and met them in a random room in the east wing. No respect for tradition. Lies. Gaslighting. Running it like the set of a cheap reality show. Imagine 4 more years of this and worse still…imagine 2028. As if he would go quietly into the night.

Just realised that The Felon typing Biden will Crash the DNC is a brain slippage for Smash. He deeply fears what the sane world hopes for and expects: that Biden will win a tumultuous ovation at the DNC, and his words will Smash it with emotion and uplift. Some of those words will stoop to grind The Felon into the ground yet more. So yes, it'll be Smash not Crash for The Felon's forthcoming meltdown.

[quote]As if he would go quietly into the night.

I would be just as happy if he went noisily into the night.

^ Trump will NOT go out with a whimper... There will be ketchup and broken shit everywhere

America’s National couffers are the Trump Crime Family’s personal piggy 🐷 bank

It's very creepy and abnormal how he fixates on people who we all know aren't thinking about and who don't care (or, who barely give a damn) about him. Even years later. People who have jobs, lives, and such.

He is such a dark cloud of chaos and malevolence; when he is finally gone from our daily lives it will be the best break-up ever or like being declared cured from some loathsome disease.

Here Comes the Sun 🌞

His latest interview is with an illiterate streamer who got famous smelling people's farts. He interviewed Andrew Tate and smelled his chair afterwards. He cannot read. How much lower can Dump go?

As I learned from watching the horrors of the George w Bush administration in detail, most people don't pay attention to things at r198's level. They are busy and deeply concerned with their own lives, and don't go this deep on politics. The only see the big broad flashy strokes. That's why this reoeated weird thing and this repeated couch thing are working so well.

It is obvious that Trump cannot spell Kumbaya.

Funny that Kamala is a uniter.

Kumbaya Kamala is who I am voting for.

Have you checked behind my sofa cushions, Don?

Well, he did go mostly radio silent while we dealt with our Biden post-debate "problem."

[quote] I hope she taps Shapiro for Attorney General.

If Shapiro apparently didn't want to be VP, why would this ambitious pol want to be a Cabinet member?

I don't think some people realize that Governor is a higher position than a Cabinet post.

Not being bitchy.

I'm still curious what awful mess they left behind when evicted from the WH

@r200 😂 That's NOT what Trump is going for, it's Kamala/black

[quote]If Shapiro apparently didn't want to be VP, why would this ambitious pol want to be a Cabinet member?

Who said he didn't want to be VP? He very much wanted the position, he just didn't get the job. Just like like Kelly and Beshear and others. Are you the Shapiro troll who thinks he turned down the offer or something?

He ran his mouth on topics he shouldn't have and paid the ultimate price.

Josh Shapiro played it smart and admirable here -- he'll bolster Harris/Walz 2024, he'll soldier on as PA Gov, and the next time there's an open Dems primary for President, he will be one of the strongest contenders. 2032 if we're fortunate and 2028 if we're not.

His main flaw was, unfortunately, being Jewish at an unusually antisemitic and "hot button" time in America's recent history. Had October 7 and Israel/Gaza not happened, Shapiro would probably have been chosen.

What's up with that 22 year old influencer making millions of dollars smelling people's farts? Why do people fallow him?

Pete Davidson says that Trump doesn't really know how to read.

That Pete Davidson clip is great. "Let's get outta here turkey legs."

Shapiro seems too aggressive (alpha) for veep. In this age of identity politics, he'd be the leading white male after Harris.

[quote]I hope nobody is relaxing now. The job isn't done he may be more dangerous than ever.

I wonder, sometimes, what happens after he loses the election. He will be very dangerous, I think.

He wont have any power r213, MAGA will be humiliated and defeated but wont do anything actually physical about it.

Republicans will put on a fake mask of confidence and fire off investigations and conspiracy theories.

Drump will continue to stall his trials up to the Supreme Court, will continue to talk about running again. That old fucker wont go away until nature takes it course. Hopefully the media will stop covering him.

R214, that's a very optimistic view. He has a cabal of people like him and they all have social media. Basic principles of risk management say you don't underestimate these people in that moment. The January 6th rioters weren't smart enough to know the consequences of their actions. Their belief is irrational.

What happens when animals are cornered, with nothing to lose?

Any new signs of derangement, or are we still waiting for The Orange One's levée this morning?

[quote] Who said he didn't want to be VP? He very much wanted the position, he just didn't get the job.

CNN, for one.

Scott is such a lying sack of Republican fecal matter. Why does CNN continue to pay his rent?

Will Rudy/Comey indict Kamala, 10 days out?

After the election, Donnie will be a loser. A loser, a whiner, a pantshitter, a rapist, a felon, and a traitor.

Let him be angry. I don't care. I'm tired of caring what a felon loser thinks, feels, or says. Aren't you? Why should any of us care? Why should any of us give him or his dwindling supporters the time of day? They are all so miserable and the only thing that remotely satisfies them is hurting others. They are pathetic.

Full steam ahead. Check your voting status. Volunteer and donate, if you can. Let's fucking go!

Jennings is really angry these days, angry like a snake. He used to be a reliable Republican water carrier but he seemed, under the surface, to get it, get where it had gone wrong and accept it, if not admit it. I never liked him, but I thought he knew what was really going on with the Republicans and soldiered on, as best he could, for the income. These days, though, he's a fierce, really nasty partisan. Maybe he sees the destruction of the party coming. I suppose all the true partisans are ugly underneath. I don't mean to sound like I'm cutting him slack, he is repellant these days, but I guess I thought even though I don't agree with him on anything, I thought he was actually smarter than he comes across now.

Jamie was really condescending last night. I bet there were sharp words off air. Scotty looked furious and fat.

By election day, he may well be certified incompetent at this rate after repeated meltdowns. Assuming he manages to avoid that and loses, it remains to be seen where the MAGA cult goes?

I’m not convinced he’s going into full breakdown. He’s had moments like this before, and pulled himself together.

Don’t get cocky.

Scott Jennings is one of those political pundits that make my skin crawl.

From his Faux News interview this morning:

Q: What's your plan to bring down the cost of housing?

TRUMP: We're gonna drill baby drill ... four years ago you were in great shape ... you had gasoline at $1.87

R223, yesterday's fantasial tweets go a level deeper than his previous such moments. I'm having trouble imagining him pulling back to his usual mastery, at least before the DNC. He just doesn't seem to have a grip on the campaign per se, and neither do his fellow Republicans.

[quote] TRUMP: We're gonna drill baby drill ... four years ago you were in great shape ... you had gasoline at $1.87

Of course, you wouldn't expect his Fox stenographer to also point out that, at this time four years, we had double digit unemployment numbers, & that it was the Covid lack of demand that led to such low gas prices.

Why can’t his handlers stop him from posting this shit? Unless they want him to self-sabotage.

Because no one tells him what to do, R228.

I really dont understand why this guy doesnt sleep. Is there a link between mental disorders and insomnia? Staying awake all night rage tweeting random shit is so bizarre.

The couch thing isn’t “working” in the sense that’s it’s changing any minds. It’s just something Democrats use for jokes. If the Republicans didn’t tell so many lies about pedophiles and post-birth abortions, I might have some qualms about it, since it’s totally false, but I don’t.

The “weird” thing may be effective in raining doubts.

Trump is a malignant cluster B personality disordered individual in the throes of a narcissistic collapse. He’s flailing due to his narcissistic injury. He will become more unhinged, and have violent outbursts. He is a stochastic terrorist, and we’ve seen this before. So Beware.

[quote]I really dont understand why this guy doesnt sleep.

Get the bastard back in a courtroom, he'll sleep.

[quote] Well, he did go mostly radio silent while we dealt with our Biden post-debate "problem."

That was strategically smart. When your opponent is self-destructing, don’t draw attention away.

However, his light schedule NOW is surely the result of the campaign holding him out of public view. Plus, his own lack of stamina.

Yes, there's a direct link to his mental illnesses and his being up all hours. And the rage tweeting with the capslock, R230.

See R232 or read up on malignant narcissism and/or narcissist collapse.

The problem with psychological predictions like “narcissistic collapse” is that people are not computer programs and don’t always follow expected patterns. Narcissistic collapse is theoretical and predictive, not inevitable.

His campaign pulled him off the schedule for the week to try and control him. Good Luck.

Charlie Sykes, conservative:

He's having a cognitive breakdown in real time.

He can't even do nicknames anymore?

He's losing his freaking mind.

He's been having one prolonged narcissistic collapse since Obama insulted him at that dinner. We've just become so accustomed to it that we see it as just Trump being Trump.

Stable genius.

r200 That's clever. I thought he was going for Kamabla bla bla but one thing is certain, he's out of control.

arizona might be lost to Trump

Bye, Felicia.

This is what Trump is:

The dark triad includes malevolent personality traits: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. People with dark triad traits are often manipulative and lack empathy. They may conceal their true nature to earn your trust and then exploit it for their personal gain.

It's important to distance yourself from people with these traits to avoid emotional, financial, and physical exploitation. Contact a mental healthcare provider if you are in a situation with a person with dark triad traits.

Trump is more detached from reality than he's ever been. It's finally started to impact his appeal from those on the margins of his base. Fox couldn't help him this morning. And Vance is not just weird, he's whacked. You couldn't build a less likeable person in a laboratory.

He needs to stay at Maralago and cheat at golf. We don't want to see or hear him.

He has dark, sadistic, violent revenge fantasies. A more dangerous person I have never witnessed.

[quote]There is absolutely nothing normal about Trump or his MAGA supporters. The media treats them like they are just a normal political party. They do not care about democracy or the constitution or our laws. They just want power and to win and to have the minority rule, because they are white and Christian.

This is a perfect assessment. Well said.

r243, he is also a tyrannical paraphilic serial-rapist.

How many times has he stated publicly that he loves grabbing women by the pussy, sticking his filthy fingers inside of women who he KNOWS wants him to do it because he is a STAR.

I hope Trump sees this, posted by Jared Moskowitz. This will make his butt pucker.

A relationship with a narcissistic psychopath leaves one traumatized, battered, anxious, depressed, lonely, incredulous, exhausted, angry and with deep feelings of betrayal and violation. The people who fail to see the exploitation or see it and do nothing are secondary abusers.

This is exactly how most of the country feels.

I suspect Trump has been making these kind of lunatic ravings all along. The only thing new is that nobody stopped him from hitting “send.”

Well, this isn't going to help his mental state, especially coming from Fox:

Dementia

R253- A narcissist sadistic psychopath with the power of the Presidency. If that doesn't make your blood freeze in your veins, nothing will.

Can one have dementia if one has never had a clear-thinking brain?

This can't be too helpful for his mental state:

Dear Donald John Trump.

Don't you find it strange that the FBI protected you from a possible assassination attempt but the Secret Service didn't?

food for thought!😉

So Melania's been up close with all @ R250 for years. Plus this year she's heard explicit details of Trump's activities exposed publicly in court, and subsequent conviction. Later in the year when watching TV she saw her husband come within an inch of assassination.

This might fairly be described as a turbulent marriage, and a specially eventful year. More to come, no doubt. Trump is a chaos machine. Melania will never spill her beans, to spare her son's feelings. But I'm sure just some of what she could share would defy our wildest imaginings.

He's an old moron. That's the best description I can think of.

The threat of prison looms large in his demented mind.

That means he starts from a position of desperation. That rarely produces good outcomes.

R257- She is a paid Russian asset. Prove me wrong.

Ratings are everything to him and he's even losing FOX news. I can see him at 2 am furiously switching channels in full Requiem of a Dream meltdown. "I'm gonna be on television"

[quote] He needs to stay at Maralago and cheat at golf. We don't want to see or hear him.

No. No. No, We need to see him, hear from him, as much as possible.

I don’t think I’ve ever w/w so many posts in a thread. Thanks, everyone.

Ratings and crowd size. 🤣 No wonder he is crying for Biden for run again.

Trump is a fucking psycho and the media should continuously mention it.

Hello There Junior!!

Tik Tok!!

And folks call me 'cryptic'. 😆

In my side of the world, we call it 'Throwing your toys from the pram"

R267- A dangerous, demented toddler with unlimited power. What could possibly go wrong? 😔

5150 Involuntary psychiatric hold is starting to make the social media rounds re: Trump and his unhinged texts. "Kamabla" is not getting the kind of traction he thought lol.

Threats, capslocks-ing, and posting all night long like a loon never lends itself to anyone saying: "Yes. This person is sane. What they're sharing is accurate. This is a leader, a genius, a real man's man."

The fact that the American people are being subjected to this thing as a viable candidate for the Presidency of the United States is an enraging insult.

I think back to the many press conferences we've seen where he stands there and bullies the press. "Fake news, sit down, shut up," and on and on to his most recent verbal abuse at the National Association of Black Journalist interview recently. He has respect for no one.

The creature is a vicious abuser, always has been, always will be. Why he's been tolerated for so long, why anyone would vote for him at all is beyond me.

He's abused the entire country and we're still suffering from it. He has allies and a Supreme Court that abuses good citizens, too. His base is made up of suckers and conmen. The suckers buy his hate and the cons exploit it. Crime exists from top to bottom in this country, from the catalytic converter thieves to the greedy billionaires. I believe those crooks make up a large part of the base.

The Harris/Walz campaign is a breath of fresh air. I feel the joy and relief that someone finally has our backs and we soon can breathe easy again.

[quote] Will Rudy/Comey indict Kamala, 10 days out?

How would they even do that? Ghouliani isn’t a prosecutor any more (he’s not even a lawyer) and Comey is out of the FBI.

Idiot.

Well said r272

R272- Yes, well said. The minute this atrocity oozed down that elevator he started attacking the press. Fake news! Then the dark money billionaires bought out all of the once legitimate news agencies. Fascism 101- control the media, control the message.

So, why would Ivana "fall down" a set of stairs she NEVER USED? She had an ELEVATOR in her townhouse. She was going to TESTIFY in a Trump fraud case soon afterward. Her NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT with Trump had expired, so she would be free to speak the TRUTH. Buried quickly.

I have been seeing many posts about her suspicious death the past two days on SM.

I want to see his complete meltdown live on tv.

R277- I want to see the Bunker Bitch dissolve into a sobbing, shitting heap on a huge jumbo monitor on live television.

R277 I want to see that streaky fake tan melt off his face a la Tammy Faye and her raccoon eyes.

Stripped of his dentures, girdle and whatever that dead animal is on his bald head.

I want to see him shit his pants on live television.

(Oh who am I kidding, we’ve probably already seen that dozens of times. He reportedly smells like shit 24/7.)

[quote]He reportedly smells like shit 24/7

Many people are saying.

Tsk, don't listen to them, sir. You've got an enchanting musk!

Did that Youtube kid sniff his chair after the interview? Maybe he can confirm or deny the smell.

R283- He tells him, with mascara and tears running down his face. 🤣

The d3nob is a liar!

Jesus, r284!

"Trump can’t adjust, won’t adjust, to the reality of Kamala Harris

Trump’s smear job against Joe Biden climaxed prematurely, and now that the vice president has taken over, he doesn’t know what to do."

He's too old to adjust and adapt quickly, it'll take another month before he's come to terms with the fact that he's not running against Biden anymore. And only then because his aides will tell him to move on already.

And for him, the problem is especially running against a black woman. I mean it just fucking pisses him off on some visceral level. If they had slipped Gavin Newsom or somebody else in there, he' probably have a much easier time adjusting to it. But running a black woman? Against him? How dare they!!!

Losing in a poll conducted by Fox News and “losing Fox News” are two different things. Trump doesn’t understand the distinction, but we should.

He told a MAGA influencer yesterday that he wants to fire the black female journalist who asked him questions at that black event he bombed last week. Not have her fired, but fire her. And she doesn't even work for him. He truly cannot stand black women talking back to him, which is why this new Kamala realityis so painful for him.

R287 Do not watch the clips of that kid sniffing chairs after 'alpha males' (in his estimation) like Andrew Tate.

The problem isn't just that he can't adapt, it's that his whole campaign and maybe his whole party—totally hitched to him now—can't adapt. You have to be adaptable in politics but all they've got are lame nicknames and claims that the Democrats are "extreme leftists" or even communists, which strikes the average person as ridiculous.

[quote] He has respect for no one.

Especially not for truth.

Lovin' that suffering for him, R292.

[quote] The Harris/Walz campaign is a breath of fresh air. I feel the joy and relief that someone finally has our backs and we soon can breathe easy again.

I think Joe had our backs. He was just too old to convey that effectively.

[quote] I don’t think I’ve ever w/w so many posts in a thread.

And there's one back for you Luv.

Trump is nuts. The world should ignore him and maybe he'll go away for good.

R299- The most effective way to deal with a malignant narcissist is to deprive them of attention. Attention is oxygen to them.

r299 No, Huffington Post famously decided to do that in 2020 and he still got elected president. Ignoring this deplorable scum doesn't work, they're here, they exist, and we have to deal with them.

Why did Trump have an illiterate 23 year old "influencer" who's enthralled by Andrew Tate interview him?

R302 Allegedly Barron suggested it.

[quote] Many people are saying.

They come up to me—grown men, with tears in their eyes. They say, “Sir, you smell like shit.”

He’s also inspiring his running mate to new levels of lunacy

"Everyone knows . . ."

"Many people have told me . . ."

"A lot of people are saying . . . "

"Everybody says . . ."

"No one has seen anything like this before . . . "

@r290, " But running a black woman? Against him? How dare they!!! "

With any luck the shame of defeat will kill him. He'll finally be the loser Fred Trump always said he was

Go to minute 25 to see this influencer kid try to pronounce Fascist (which he had to Google when asked about it), Mussolini, etc.

A total moron.

They can’t adapt because they have no strategy beyond letting Trump do and say whatever pops into his head. They tried to adopt a different tone after the shooting, but he just could not do it. Same old stump speech, complete with Hannibal Lector and the shark.

Against Biden, letting Trump be Trump might have been good enough because in a rare event, there was some truth to his criticism of Joe and people wanted a change.

R308, shit, the kid is a functional illiterate. Struggling over high school level words, over and over. And yet he is famous as an 'influencer.'

What a world.

A Black woman pastor chastened donald publicly during the 2016 campaign:

The Washington Post By Jonathan Lemire | AP

September 14, 2016 at 9:04 p.m. EDT

"FLINT, Mich. — Donald Trump was cut off, chastised and then heckled after he attacked rival Hillary Clinton during what was supposed to be a speech on helping where the government had failed the people of Flint, Michigan.

“Mr. Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we’ve done in Flint, not give a political speech,” said the Rev. Faith Green Timmons, the pastor of the Bethel United Methodist Church.

The Republican nominee quickly stopped, then said “Ok, that’s good, Then I’m going to go back to Flint” and its water crisis that had sickened its citizens.

But the interruption seemed to embolden those in the sparse crowd. One woman shouted that Trump had used discriminatory housing practices in his buildings, causing the celebrity businessman to respond, “Never. You're wrong. Never would.

Trump abruptly ended his speech, which had lasted six minutes. More heckling followed him out."

Who is Donald Trump?

He sounds totally fine. Let's give him the nuclear codes again!

I hadn't realized he told four members of Congress to go back where they came from.

Me neither r314. It increases the likelyhood of the often predicted public meltdown. His "A Face in the Crowd" moment.

R305 eurgh he’s such a weird DOUCHEBAG

And where's T-Rump now? Not campaigning? Letting his flailing surrogate carry all the weight? Have there at least been any fulminations from Mar-a-Lago today?

NYT headline: Trump is not campaigning, leaving the heavy lifting to JD Vance. Here is why this is bad news for Harris.

The less the country sees of Trump IS bad news for Harris.

[quote]Have there at least been any fulminations from Mar-a-Lago today?

No. Just flatulations.

From former National Security analyst, former DHS:

"FOCUS. In all seriousness, Trump's schedule is non existent. If he is not able to campaign, we should learn that. As he becomes more desperate, the coherency hard to defend, he will turn to what he knows best: incitement, threats, violence and an attempt to steal a fair election (watch Georgia). The mood by Dems is feel good now but nobody should think Trump concedes or exits.

This is on the GOP which means the Biden WH has one more fight to consider: the period between election and Harris' inauguration should she win. Trump will not go away. And the threat environment has changed since I wrote this @theatlantic essay about Biden's duty. Dems really could win. And then what?"

[quote]No, Huffington Post famously decided to do that in 2020 and he still got elected president. Ignoring this deplorable scum doesn't work, they're here, they exist, and we have to deal with them.

Huh r301? BIDEN was elected president in 2020, not Trump.

Our country is way too permissive in allowing charlatans to represent us.

It's not official until he goes completely insane when he loses the election.

In the hours after Vice President Kamala Harris announced Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, allies of former President Donald Trump rushed to denigrate the Minnesota Democrat, seizing on criticism of his handling of the riots in the wake of George Floyd's murder in May 2020.

"He allowed rioters to burn down the streets of Minneapolis," Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the Republican candidate for vice president, said Tuesday.

But at the time, Trump expressed support for Walz's handling of the protests, according to a recording of a phone call obtained by ABC News -- telling a group of governors that Walz "dominated," and praising his leadership as an example for other states to follow.

"I know Gov. Walz is on the phone, and we spoke, and I fully agree with the way he handled it the last couple of days," Trump told a group of governors on June 1, 2020, according to a recording of the call, in which he also called Walz an "excellent guy."

"I was very happy with the last couple of days, Tim," Trump continued. "You called up big numbers and the big numbers knocked them out so fast it was like bowling pins."

R325 Delicious!

Finally the media is calling out his bullshit like they’re supposed to do!

JD Vance attacking Walz for not serving in the Iraq war is also hilarious considering that is the biggest reason why Trump hates the Bushes. Another weak attack. 😂

I read today that Trump says he is still not worried because they have plans in place.

If anyone is interested I heard a psychic say that Trump won't be on the ballot and it will be a younger man who will lose. This was predicted by another over a year ago but I have heard nothing since until today. maybe it will be the only way to beat him. If he isn't there there is no one to cheat for. Maybe Harris/Walz will get to him and he will lose it so he can't run.

r328 - what?

r329 which part didn't you understand?

It doesn't take a psychic at this point to realize that T-Rump could plausibly keel over any day and be replaced by a younger candidate (who, yes, will lose).

Romney could win.

But would it be Jizzy Davenport Vance?

I could live with a President Romney. Myself of a dozen years ago can't believe I said that.

Win what? An Amana range and a second sister wife?

hope that's not linda g, r328. she has been wrong, wrong wrong!

she's full of shit.

People seem to think Romney is some great statesman and American success story. That's why I said he could win. His sons are all handsome and wholesome as far as know. But I'm no fan of Romney I think the venture capital and asset gutting he did to make his fortune is pure shit.

And Romney is 77 years old. Not a chance.

r335 no it wasn't her. I have found that she has been wrong about an awful lot lately and I think it is because she is spending so much time trying to advance herself. She finds all these new psychics and tries to promote them but always does it on her channel. She was much more humble and right in the beginning but not so much now. I hate when she says we can't wish them ill and then snickers. I know she knows that's correct but does it anyway. When you start messing around like that your gifts are taken from you and I think we are seeing that decline. She is making a ton of money off of youtube and the more money you make the greedier humans get.

While we're at it, Linda G. - like many others - tells her viewers what they want to hear, tries to validate her own point of view.

One (gay) British fellow has long maintained neither Biden nor Trump would be viable by November. After Biden's withdrawal, he sees Trump as officially, medically mentally collapsed, shall we say. Late enough ballots can't be re-printed.

Speaking of deadlines, R339, I believe today is OH's deadline and so Trump can't dump Vance and stay on the ballot there.

That Heritage Foundation cunt has said, PUBLICLY, that they “have put things in place” to steal the election. He said some things may be known now, but other “things” won’t be known until “later”.

So, yes, they fully intend to steal this because they know they ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WIN LEGITIMATELY. They can’t and they KNOW IT!

They are planning to put their cunts in place to throw out votes, refuse to certify results, stop counting votes then get the pricks dump installed on the “supreme” court to hand the election to him - or whatever fucking fascist prick who replaces him.

This is the plan. They have never denied it. They are BRAGGING about it.

What can you do? Donate and follow Marc Elias. He has been preparing countersuits to thwart this attack and name checking these pricks on social media.

The more light we shine in them, the more they try to slither back into the shadows. They don’t want their plans known, even though they brag about what they’re planning.

r17, I think everyone should write middle names in all caps, even if they aren't normally used.

Donald JOHN Trump

Lindsey OLIN Graham

Addison MITCHELL McConnell III

Lauren OPAL Boebert

These freaks don’t have the muscle or passion to steal the election. It’s over for them. Trump throwing a tantrum post election won’t mean a goddamned thing. No one will storm anything. The dumbasses will shrug and return to their Lite Beer.

And this will be Trump’s legacy. Just like most dictators/cult leaders. Humiliated, jailed and forgotten.

Perfect!

*The use of Ozempic may cause anxiety and mood swings, irritability, shakiness, and confusion. *

Mitt Romney cannot win because he doesn’t attract enough of the crazies to come out & vote for Trump,

Dump’s freaks don’t, r343, but the Heritage Foundation and the KKKoch network DO. That is who is planning and financing this bullshit.

It won’t be a bunch of MAGAts shitting in the halls of the Capitol building. This will be at state capitols with the lackeys they’ve installed refusing to certify the votes. Maricopa County now has election deniers RUNNING the Board of Elections.

Even if Kamala wins, they will not certify the results and will instead let it drag out in court, hoping to wear us down or have the “supreme” court decide who won.

That was the plan for J6, but Meal Team 6 got out of control. They were trying to delay the vote certification so SCROTUS could decide, or did you miss that detail? That was the whole point of the attack- to stop the certification.

It almost worked, too, but Pelosi wouldn’t let the house leave until they certified the vote.

jhgr341 I think she also wants it to be what she wants it to be.

2 weeks ago I listened to her and sterling give excuses as to why they weren't right and how they misinterpreted their messages. I thought then why do you think you are psychic. That was the worse thing they could have done, make excuses.

Their hyper-partisan audiences lap up every word, so these readers, psychics get paid for thousands of views per video.

Linda G, Marianne, Elly, Black-and-Orange, etc.

I like Maryann. She is my 2nd favorite. I also trust her. She studied Journalism and checks everything out unlike Linda G. who will post a rumor. They are all making a lot of money but Linda G. gathering all the psychics to highlight them on her site irritates me.

my favorite and the one I find to be most accurate is Cash Peters.

And you guys think the MAGATs are freaks!

Psychics, my ass.

So Trump son’s pick gis running mate and who gets to interview him? Does he have a campaign manager?

Dump is all in on crypto currency, he even told Puffy Lips/Giant Boobs on Fuxx Newwz that we could pay off the $35 trillion debt with crypto. Elmo and Thiel are his masters now.

We might as well try paying our debt off with Monopoly money.

But seriously why did he stay home all week? Did they put him under home confinement because he's losing it, or is he lazy because he actually does think his scheming MAGA people in high places will steal the election anyway, or is his campaign just shitty at events planning?

He's busy nursing his narcissistic injury, r354, and it's only going to get worse.

R352, I'm only just becoming aware of this role of crypto in Republican politics (I'm not a finance guy in the least sense). The tech billionaire donors seem to have some crypto scheme at the center of their politics and Don Jr is promoting something of the kind. Does anyone have links for some good articles on this?

Crypto is ripe for criminal activity.

Trump has decided he wants his slice of the monetary corruption pie.

I don't get Crypto at all, but is smells like a huge scam, so I stay away

He's old. He's tired. He doesn't have the stamina to take the show on the road, not even to try to rescue his opening act JD Vance.

But most of all, he won't risk lower attendance at his events than what Harris/Walz are getting. If he could figure out a way to offer to pay warm bodies to attend a rally and then stiff them, he would, but even he won't dare try that.

I once posted that I know, even if Trump is convicted of state and federal crimes, he'll never see a day in an actual jail or prison. The most he'll serve is home confinement because, at sentencing, his attorneys will successfully argue his age and the logistical, practical and safety issues housing him in physical custody weigh heavier than physically confining him.

Still, I'll take what I can get. What he's enduring now, the public humiliation, the polls indicating he's losing, saddled with JD Vance, and a staff that is leaking to the media about his state of mind, is exactly the retribution I want.

I'd like impoverishment and public shunning for him, too, but, I'm satisfied with what I'm seeing now.

And just as a caution to myself, as VP Harris says, do not forget the Dems are the underdogs in this election and don't get complacent.

Re: R354. This week has seen the crudest possible contrast between party cultures. Trump's extreme tweet of negative fantasy is radiant evidence of clinical mental instability. Meanwhile, the Harris-Walz ticket presented itself with immense charm, wit, energy, optimism, and sheer relatable humanity.

Worthless Trump and his - surely now side-eyeing - minions know that such charismatic momentum is beyond them. So they're sulking in their tents, making themselves feel better by firming up plans for deep electoral interference.

From Plutarch's *Life of Mark Antony*:

[quote]Now, there was with him a seer from Egypt ... who said that his fortune, though most great and splendid, was diminished by that of Octavian; and he advised Antony to put as much distance as possible between himself and that young man. "For your guardian genius [daimōn]," said he, "is intimidated by his; and though it is proud and lofty by itself, when his comes near, yours is cowed and humbled by it." And indeed events seemed to testify in favor of the Egyptian. For we are told that whenever lots were cast or dice thrown to decide matters in which they were engaged, Antony came off worsted.

Kamala's daimōn is greater than Trump's.

I wonder if he's having some kind of PTSD from the shooting?

Sociopathic narcissists don't suffer from PTSD.

R362, you may be on to something. No sympathy for that piece of shit, but even he has to be traumatized by that event and I'm sure it's added a new level of crazy.

I mean, this is where he lives, inside:

“She (Vairst Letty) can’t really even talk about it (the assassination attempt), which is okay, because that means she likes me, or she loves me…that’s nice.”

That's pathetic. I am beyond sympathy or empathy but that awful husk of a man, deservedly but really, has nothing. His whole life is chiseling and being surrounded by chiselers. It's repellant.

He can't be traumatized by a stunt that he staged.

With the exception of the people of color he places behind the podium, he can't afford to pay people to attend his MAGA jackoff sessions. Those funds are instead paying "bad people" to flood the border so he and his shithole "friends" can continue the line of crisis at the border.

To me, the normal reaction would've been to be in shock. The immediate defiant gesture makes the event [italic]seem[/italic] staged.

That and the fact that a month later, it's hardly mentioned even by MAGAts.

He’s certainly freaking out over losing Biden as his opponent and having to fight for this election when he expected to coast. That is clear

How is that a narcissistic injury?

His "up all night"/never sleeps issue has been a sign of his severe mental illness, for a long time. It's in no way normal.

"Pelosi Shares Dire Warnings She Received on Trump’s Mental Health"

R359 where are these leaks from Trump staff?

He’s announced a “press conference “ for today.

He'll announce that he's a stable genius: "Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV."

r372 link?

Fucking lazy ass. I suppose you want me to gift you the article? No! Buy your own subscription

I have a subscription, r275. And why be an asshole?

*r375

Because you annoy me.

🤷

So the theories are a few re the press conference. One theory is he’s dumping Vance, which I will find hysterical after Vance’s comments about getting Air Force 2 in a few months. The other is he’s suing to get Biden back on the ticket, which will go nowhere of course.

I think he’s just going to go out there and spew some fucking outrageous untrue shit to try and get back the news cycle.

Any other suggestions?

He'll yell "Tampon Tim" and "Kamabla" for 15 minutes.

[quote] he’s suing to get Biden back on the ticket

That would be delicious, as it just digs him further into the hole of not being able to pivot, adapt, or campaign against Harris/Walz.

I do worry what shit they'll make up about Kamala/Tim. I really don't put it past them to pay off someone to claim they were sexually abused or harassed by Coach Walz.

It’s just to show he hasn’t “lost it.”

Even though he never had it.

I for one look forward to hearing him repeat "Kamabla" over and over as if it were the wittiest thing in political history. "That's what I call her ... KamABla ... Kama-BLAH ...."

He is trying to claw his way frantic self back into the news cycle

He’ll probably just spew some attack shit about both Harris and Walz. Communists! Will Destroy America! etc etc.

Dr. Ronnie will give him a horse tranquilizer, then he'll be rolled out in front of the cameras, mumble something about making America great again, protecting it from Marxists and Communists, fall asleep and be escorted out. "See, he's still normal!" Don't you find it weird that whenever he needs to project some sense of normalcy (the courtroom appearances, e.g.), he ends up falling asleep?

[quote]"That's what I call her ... KamABla ... Kama-BLAH ...."

By all means let him pursue that route. Sounding like the unvisited old man in the corner of the hospital, glanced at then looked away from in deep pity, won't especially enhance his bid once more to be Commander-In-Chief.

Oh for fuck's sake...the rapist with 34 felonies and counting is going to attack Walz over a 30-year-old DUI? Nobody cares!

Isn't that the DUI that made him give up drinking? When did he ever say he wasn't drinking? And thanks, r391, for posting some crap from a right wing shitrag.

Hey, r391, suck on a bag of dicks, asshole

I refuse to take any company seriously if they have 'alpha' in the name. It is always a far right scam.

r391, I just said to my husband, this guy's too good to be true. There has to be at least a DUI. Please let us not find out that he showered with the football team.

[quote]He’ll probably just spew some attack shit about both Harris and Walz. Communists! Will Destroy America! etc etc.

Then I hope a reporter asks Trump to provide a definition of communist (or socialist, if he uses that term) and an explanation of the Harris/Waltz policies that fit those definitions.

From the alphanews.org page:

[quote] Alpha News- Your News First. Alpha News is a Minnesota media outlet focusing on politics and social issues you may not see in traditional media.

In other words: unverified right wing garbage.

Considering how ambitious Walz’ opponents in the veepstakes are; the fact that he ran for multiple congressional and gubernatorial elections (some of which were close); and how methodical Harris’ vetting process was, there may not be anything there.

I think we have become so accustomed over the last three decades in this country to voting for politicians with baggage or skeletons in their closet, that we just assume they all do.

@r395, "I refuse to take any company seriously if they have 'alpha' in the name"

☹️

R395 is a beta cuck.

So. A lot of school pals that I’m “friends” with are Maga

Here’s what I’ve been seeing:

Tampon Tim and what a joke he is

How nobody voted for Harris to run for president

That Harris and Walz are communists

Meant to add they’re on face book posting this shit

I've been listening to a lot of AM radio lately, and r402 nails it.

Also: "Walz let Minneapolis burn during summer 2020."

Find better "friends", instead of having to read that IQ 70 garbage.

[quote]Please let us not find out that he showered with the football team.

What's wrong with that?!?

[quote] So. A lot of school pals that I’m “friends” with are Maga

My condolences.

That is some sad shit r402. I mean, not as sad as some 1995 DUI charge. But overall, it seems like the Trump Cult is just turning to sadness instead of actually having any response at all about anything.

[quote] Tampon Tim and what a joke he is

So, Trumpers dig sophomoric, juvenile name-calling. Big surprise

[quote] How nobody voted for Harris to run for president

Yeah, as a Trumper, I'd be grasping at that incorrect straw, too, if I saw the energy and enthusiasm for Harris/Walz.

[quote] That Harris and Walz are communists

(picking up rotary dial wall phone) Yeah, he's here. It's for you. 1950 is calling

Tampon Tim is so dumb. They’re angry that he put free tampon dispensers in schools, apparently they would rather have them sitting in school embarrassed all day

If it would make their breeding stock feel more downtrodden or humiliate them in any way, R410, of course they would love the idea of it.

The cruelty is the point of their existence.

[quote]Also: "Walz let Minneapolis burn during summer 2020."

Find that clip from 2020 where Trump is telling Tim he did a dandy job.

Watch Dump ranting on TV right now. OP got it right with the thread title. Time for the men in white coats to lead him away.

I blocked every last fucking MAGAt on all of my social media accounts. Even family and I don’t speak to them. Fuck a bunch of hateful, racist cunts. Ain’t nobody got time for that shit.

Funny thing is, these assholes used to show up at every family gathering, running their mouths and wearing their cult gear. Now, they’ve disappeared.

They don’t show up to family get togethers or, if they do, they don’t stay long and keep their mouths shut. Idk if it’s because they’re ashamed to be associated with that fat loser or if they’re worried someone may punch them in the mouth if they start in.

As I lifelong New Yorker I was aware of what a terrible person and businessman Trump has always been, perhaps as far back as 30 years ago. In fact when I saw he was going to be in a new reality TV show The Apprentice back in the early 2000s, I thought the same thing I did when I saw his cameo appearance in Home Alone 2; Why are they giving this horrible excuse of a human being any more public exposure? He is basically a carnival barker and is savvy public image manipulator of those who are gullible. The fact that he has a strong 35% support base is still hard for me to wrap my head around.

R415: not only that, but they think of him as a successful businessman - whose casino went bankrupt! Who does that???

[quote] They’re angry that he put free tampon dispensers in schools, apparently they would rather have them sitting in school embarrassed all day

They probably are not angry about that. They just like the sound of Tampon Tim. They think it makes him sound like a fag.

"Tampon Tim", oh really?

"Diaper Don"

You guys got nothing

Donna the Hutt

Has he ever, OP.

The good thing, R402, is those people were only ever going to vote Dump anyway.

As for the Tampon Tim thing - it annoys me that someone like Megyn Kelly chimed in when Dump made a crack about her bleeding from wherever. Plus the fact that girls - likely mostly ones from disadvantaged red state families - would actually benefit from tampon programs. Women should know better.

Nepo Baby, Meghan McCunt, is convinced that Trump will lose in November. That trainwreck press conference did him no favors.

R422 A broken clock is right twice a day.

R422 She must despise Trump after his comments about her father.

R425 She'll still kiss Trump's ass.

MAGAts on my socials are refusing to comment on Captain Capslock's public cry for help. But, I know they can hear it, too.

"Put me in the home, me boyos. Put me in the home! Me boyos. Me boyos..."

he ever had it, stanley

How fucking incompetent do you have to be to bankrupt a casino??...a business that's designed to print money.

The lardass Princess of Arizona continues to be an embarrassment to the planet. Get off the keyboard, put the Hostess pie down, and walk around the block, tubby.

Wow, R430, it’s pretty easy to fact check if he was ever in a helicopter crash with the mayor of San Francisco. He can’t be in his right mind if he actually believes stuff like this. And that there’s even any question that he’s fit to be president….

Not long ago this would have slid off as just "Trump being Trump." I'm not sure that's true anymore—too much crazy by now, and the dropping poll numbers have the sharks circling.

Damn, going down in a helicopter could mean two things. Bonus points for Trump for not saying it was a limousine.

iIn r434's pic, it looks like he has an implanted lens in his left eye. My stepfather had them, and it would do that Blade Runner pupil reflection.

R432, of course this didn’t happen. Willie Brown was once in a helicopter that nearly crashed, but it was not with Trump. Someone must have told Trump the story and it instantly became a story about Trump, because every story is about Trump. He’s disturbed on a level that’s hard to imagine.

Like Amber Heard using her assistant's story as her own story.

“ Donald Trump took a break from taking a break to put on some pants and host a public meltdown. We have a lot to say about it. Here are some initial thoughts - with more to come.

He hasn't campaigned all week. He isn't going to a single swing state this week. But he sure is mad Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are getting big crowds across the battlegrounds.”

It's Trump worse than Old Trump.

Trump has dementia, why is the media not asking him to step down? Looking at you NYT

IT WAS JERRY BROWN NOT WILLY BROWN YOU DUMB ASS.

And yet he claims they have a conversation about Kamala?

Even if he had got that right, the helicopter did not go down.

He accompanied then-Gov. Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom, California’s governor-elect, to survey the devastation from the Camp fire in the town of Paradise.

Trump has always only cared about himself. So even in a traumatic situation, he's never going to remember any details about those around him. Only about how he felt.

He’s such a retard.

I mean, honestly.

According to people on the helicopter flight Trump was freaking out asking everyone what would happen if the helicopter did go down. So, now his demented mind has twisted it to the helicopter did go down with he and Willie Brown discussing the dirt on Kamala as they were almost crash landing

He's not going to make it to November. This whole abrupt change in the campaign has thrown him so off kilter he can't find his way back... He's toast and I'm enjoying every melting moment

Are Diaper Donnie and his Cabal plotting another "accident"?

"This headline about how Trump lied about nearly dying in a helicopter crash gives major deja vu. Sure, today he mixed up Jerry Brown vs. Willie Brown. But there may be a deeper brain scramble going on. Trump famously lied about nearly dying in a helicopter crash in 1989.

In Oct 1989, as Trump's casinos were edging into bankruptcy, 3 of his top casino execs died in a crash of a helicopter chartered by the Trump Org. The rotor simply fell off. Trump soon began telling reporters he was scheduled to be on the flight too.

Trump's story of miraculously cheating death got a lot of press, even though other Trump execs contradicted his story almost immediately. It was a big deal; it got national-level coverage. In an old man losing his memories, this helicopter story might still remain.

So maybe Trump's story today was just a failing brain scrambling together 3 things in a mush of helicopters & men named Brown * his 1989 story of nearly dying in a helicopter crash * a helicopter ride with Jerry Brown in 2018 * Kamala Harris dating Willie Brown in the 1990s

We can only speculate, but it's a good prompt to remember his earlier lie and wonder if there's some reason the 1989 crash hangs on his mind. Here's a 2016 review by Mother Jones, as Trump ran for office. No one was ever found at fault for it."

[quote]Trump appears to confuse former Mayor Willie Brown with former Gov. Jerry Brown Trump said at a news conference

Next NY Times headline:

Why Trump's Dementia Is Bad News for the Harris/Walz Campaign

Trump made up the entire helicopter ride with Willie Brown story! It’s reprehensible how the Times frames his obvious lies as “confusion.”

In any case, not a single voter outside the hard-core MAGA base gives a rat's ass about Harris's relationship with Willie Brown all those years ago. This elaborate fantasia will go up in smoke.

Meanwhile the NYT, in the person of Deputy Washington Editor Jonathan Weisman, tries to salvage some rational shape from Trump's disordered grievance-spewing:

[quote]This is an interesting dance. Trump has spent much of this news conference hitting Kamala Harris on crime. Now he is pointing to his own record on overhauling the criminal justice system.

Nobody's buying it, Jonathan.

r453, Walt.

Perfect description of Captain Capslock.

"My BIG TAKEAWAY from Trump's absurd press conference is that he is finally undergoing something called NARCISSISTIC MORTIFICATION. We dusted off this Freudian term back in April during his criminal trial, and it's extra-relevant today.

Narcissistic Mortification is when a narcissist like Trump crosses over to a place where he sees visions of his own demise. A malignant narcissist who once held the loftiest of titles, cannot cope with this. Trump's fears have become "dread." He is very unhinged, yet uncomfortable in the feeling itself, because he knows he's partly responsible. Reality is being forced upon him, that's not of his making. He can't have that!

To put it in more psychological terms, narcissistic mortification is EXTREME fear experienced when one with a rigidly grandiose pathology sees his sense of self as exposed, defective or inferior. It was coined by Freud in his book Moses and Monotheism. It's described there as deep injuries to ego/self, triggered by one's own compulsiveness (unforced errors -- like suggesting Putin would only release prisoners to him which set him up for embarrassment, or choosing Vance as his running mate against his better judgment, which drives him crazy daily, or repeatedly attacking the popular Georgia Governor Kemp against his own interests, because he can't control himself).

THIS is where I think he is. He's become his own worst enemy, and this conflicts with his pathology of being unable to admit fault. It's a very severe and very dissonant conflict.

Malignant narcissists need their grandiosity. For them to become exposed and weakened, is narcissistic injury - that happens. BUT - for them to become weakened to the extent of being able to visualize their own demise and know it's partly due to their own frailties - frailties they spend a lifetime avoiding and denying - this is irreconcilable. For a malignant narcissist like Trump, it's hell.

Bringing it back to the press conference, it causes him to become even more sensitized ("that was a stupid question"), to become more easily triggered (especially about "crowd size" - the symbol of his fading grandiosity - which he rambled about excessively), to use even more projection ("America" is failing, "America" is in danger means HE is failing and HE is in danger), and it has made him physically haggard (he looked gaunt and hunched over, with stiffness in his facial muscles), and finally - got disoriented (the Willie Brown/Jerry Brown helicopter story being the most pronounced example from yesterday).

Look for him to be carefully coddled by aides. They may not know the psychological terminology, but they know he's slipping away.

Narcissistic mortification is a precursor to narcissistic collapse."

They're propping him up to hide his living in a fantasy world. Here's hoping a debate will trigger a genuine, medically certified mental collapse. Something like a rant about "She doesn't know how the legal system works! She'll pardon the entire prison population on Day One!"

Lawrence O'Donnell was brilliant last night. I wish it was mandatory watching for every American.

He was brilliant and so was Kamala in her speech, starting at 17:30 or so in the clip. THAT is what should have been covered by the MSM yesterday.

On a totally shallow note, I can't believe how good and put together Harris looks on the campaign trail, despite the punishing schedule. Her hair is glossy without anything out of place, her manicure: chef's kiss. Love the pearls with the navy suit - she looks collected despite a grueling schedule, while Trump looked like death warmed over after sitting around for a week at MaL.

Fascinating analysis @ R458. What must be adding to The Felon's NM is that his huge ego-boost right after the ear injury - That Photo - has long faded into yesterday's news. It's not now daily pored over like the Turin Shroud, and wondered at as a symbol of glorious defiance.

The Harris-Walz show dominates intelligent attention, knocking DJT's Iwo Jima image into the margins. It's amusing to think that though 'Narcissistic Mortification' fits Trump like a diaper, he'd struggle to read the term, let alone pronounce it.

What then happens in narcissistic collapse? I want to know what I have to look forward to.

What then happens in narcissistic collapse? I want to know what I have to look forward to.

Is double-posting a symptom?

Trump hasn't lost it. One can never lose what one never had.

This is what drives me crazy about legacy media:

I dunno exactly, but maybe rantings about how Harris has active plans to kill him? Or, a sort of coma where he mumbles, at best, without being able to convince a doctor that he knows where he is and what day it is?

I keep telling my sister to stop regurgitating whatever the New York Times says and that they're deliberately misleading people by treating Trump like a normal candidate, while constantly bashing the Democrats. She just laughs at me and thinks I'm a radical. She and her husband are intellectual types that just think that this is the paper of record and they should just uncritically take what they say at face value. It's almost more of like a brand allegiance and in that way not that different than the Fox watchers who glom onto them because it's somehow part of their identity.

So they care about being perceived as cognoscenti rather than caring about their country and fellow citizens. Got it.

It's so frustrating because saying that he spoke 'on crime' is just so misleading. He didn't speak about crime as it exists. As the FBI statistics show. He invented a complete lie, that millions of people are being slaughtered by illegal aliens. That illegal aliens are mostly mental patients and prisoners coming here to commit crime. That crime is up since he left office. Then he said that he would 'stop it'. No policy, no plan because it is LIES.

Lawrence was awesome there, R460. Definitely a must watch.

I love Tim Walz and I LOVE Kamala Harris!

The NYT covers their ass by only printing facts and pretending to some thoughtful analysis, as at R467 (cf. my link at R456), but how can factual reporting be unbiased when they're taken out of context and massaged into some coherent shape they never had? The story isn't that you could extract some meaningful points out of Trump's presser, it's that he himself is incapable of shaping them into a meaningful statement, and that he's basically abandoned any policy statements for a string of general insults and fabrications. The NYT is a tabloid.

r458, Eva and Adolph took the Kool-Aid cocktail.

Mussolini waited to be murdered.

Stalin died of old age as everyone accommodated him out of fear, but he kept his mind.

Decisions, decisions.

Not sure why so much of the blame is placed on the NYT when it's ALL of the mainstream media that have normalized and emboldened Trump. Even MSNBC. I remember during Trump's 2016 campaign when MSNBC would interrupt its regular programming to run Trump's rallies live and in full, even though they never did the same thing for Hillary's rallies. Besides, Trump supporters and swing voters aren't the ones reading the NYT. They're getting their news from their Facebook friends, YouTube and TikTok videos, and other sources that are even less reliable and more sympathetic toward Trump. The real danger to the country isn't the NYT. It's the stupid "influencers" on social media who spread disinformation and the gullible people who believe them.

Here is what happens.

But NYT is not TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook. Social media are not journalism and you use the information they provide knowing that. Also, NYT is not some local paper with little in terms of resources; they are one of few examples of successful adaptation to digital age and are actually profitable (few national papers are.) They adamantly insist that they are neutral and I don't see how you can claim that and insist on being a bastion of hard hitting journalism and not bother to debunk obvious lies. Journalism isn't just giving voice to any unfiltered crap; Google news aggregator can do that but it doesn't consider itself a respectable newspaper.

If we're singling out the NYT for criticism, R475, it's because it has had and *should* have a reputation as a trustworthy source, and also because there are people who still believe it is—like the poster on another thread who keeps insisting that the NYT is impartial and we're just demanding that it agree with our political bias.

So, let me get this: being impartial means allowing easily debunked lies to pass themselves as actual news? Asking for fact checking is ideological?? In that case, they should close the shop since any kook with access to the internet is a journalist in the same sense their employees are.

Must have horse race! Can't let Harris get too high in the polls! Keep the feverish clicks coming!

Besides last week's brilliant confrontation, have any reporters called him a liar to his face or Interrupted him and refuse to accept a bullshit answer?

Oh yeah, it happened once 8 years ago. When Jorge Ramos from Univision demanded to know how he would deport 12 million people.

Now we know the answer he would give, he would be a dictator on day one. Why didn't any of the media speak up for Sr. Ramos? How things might be different today if they had.

r476, so MSM needs to stop validating him.

How about validating Trump as a Convicted Criminal, an adjudicated rapist, an adulterer, a never-was business genius who fucked over casinos, and charities all in the name of BRAND GREED. We may never get to money launderer, purchaser of the Supreme Court, con man who sold American secrets to the Russians and got American assets killed.

Why is he only questioned as THE CANDIDATE?

Cannot wait for the media’s collapse when their shitshow clown finally has HIS narcissistic collapse.

I hope he takes them down with him.

He WILL try to take the country down, be warned. Not fear, prepare.

If you know it’s coming, you can prepare for it. There are a few people on here who have personally dealt with a parent, sibling or partner having a narcissist collapse and what happens. Can any of you chime in and let us know what to expect?

The Mariana Trench couldn't contain my loathing and disgust for Trump, but he was right back in 2016, during his run against Hillary, when he observed that the media would never ignore him because he's good for viewership and ratings.

But now, Trump is greatly diminished. His act is old. He's old. It's not complicated. The reason he doesn't direct his staff to create rally events in contested states is because he's too old to have the stamina to maintain them but moreover he won't risk drawing fewer people that Harris.

The fact that the "tough guy who tells it like it is" needs the safe spaces of Maga-Lardo and Montana to bloviate tells me all I need to know.

As an aside, I see that Kellyanne Conway will defend Trump on Fox and attack Harris from there, too but I think it's more telling where she isn't - as a paid manager or any other senior role in his current campaign.

She'll keep to the Carpathia where she has a view of the Titanic rather than want to be on board the Titanic.

You mean 'this' Kellyanne Cadaver? Yea, she has what it takes to boost DUMP above Harris/Walz - for about 15 minutes!

^ No, this vivacious and lovely Kellyanne

Is he flying one of those old Eastern Airlines birds he used for Trump Shuttle?

There are poopies in plane aisle and smells are very bad.

Hmmm, so since he is NOT the president anymore, does he have a way to get to his to the campaign? Why did he have a motorcade already there at the emergency landing place, how would they know to do that? How many motorcades do we all pay for on standby for this loser?

Hey Donald, it's me Karma

Since you lied about a helicopter crash, I just thought you might want to know what it feels like with your own plane. Don's worry, nothing bad will happen, just a little reminder from time to time from now on. That bucket of bolts is 35 years old now right?

Ms. Karma

I wonder if they have him on any Alzheimer's meds? I don't know how helpful they are since my mother was uncooperative and hostile about taking them. She was never on them long enough to see improvement.

This is not the first time his plane has had mechanical problems.

Between at least two of these events, plus his near miss with his ear getting nick, he's going to get very paranoid of dying soon. Which I support.

Knowing Dump and his MAGA handlers they’ll try to pass off the spiralling plane in Brazil as Dump’s, then credit him for surviving. And then the NYT can write a piece about how even though that didn’t happen exactly that way, how it’s bad for Kamala.

A plane crash would be a convenient way for his tech overlords to rid themselves of him....

That plane has got to be on its last legs.

NYT Trump survives harrowing plane crash as Democrats attack him during a life and death situation.

I recall the plane being grounded for a while after the 2020 election. It has a history of problems.

[QUOTE]Trump Force One, you might say, is a poor man’s idea of a rich man’s plane — a big shiny bauble that behind the scenes is “a plane past its prime with decaying mechanics and exorbitant storage fees,” as CNN put it. Which raises the question: Why is a guy supposedly as rich as Trump is flying around in such a jalopy? According to Bloomberg, he’s worth $6.5 billion. People with this kind of wealth generally fly planes like the Gulfstream G650 or the Dassault Falcon 8X, the Porsches and Lamborghinis of the air. By comparison, Trump is flying a secondhand school bus.

[quote]That plane has got to be on its last legs.

Please tell me it's a Boeing.

R505, it actually is!

His shit plane is not Air Force One.

T-Rump's whole ground game now is distintegrating. This Bozeman rally was the only one of the week. He said at his nutso press conference that he was scaling back the campaigning because of the DNC—but that's not for another 10 days, and the old T-Rump would never have missed a chance to upstage the Ds. He's just old and tired, and his running mate is a black hole of charisma. And now his planes keep breaking down. Sad!

Dear Donald

Boeing here. We'd like to gift you one of our lovely 737s. Use it in good health. Just stay away from the window seats

After flying on Air Force One, he knows all the special things it has that no other plane in the world has. Going back to his bucket of bolts in blue, he's got to be a little worried. Like going from a Ferrari back to a used station wagon with gold paint.

I support his paranoia. Maybe everyone should start taking on social media about how his plan is circling the drain. Help feed his fear factor.

It’s a 33-year-old Boeing 757. Sad!

Out of respect for President Trump's near-death experience, the DNC should cancel their convention.

[quote] a used station wagon with gold paint

Gold spray paint, no less.

TRUMP IS THAT GUY---

I cannot fathom what the end of this year brings

NEW: In an angry phone call nearly two hours ago as he contended with airplane mechanical issues, Trump insisted to the Times he has records from a bad helicopter landing with Willie Brown that Brown says never happened, and threatened to sue the paper

For you, R517:

"I'm gonna make shit up, and if you dare to say I'm lying, I will sue you. "

Trump has to prove that what the NYT says was false and that it was done maliciously. He doesn't stand a prayer in court because he has no way to prove it.

Please, keep coddling him, NYT.

[When asked to see the records, Trump responded mockingly, in a sing-song, childlike voice, repeating the question]

He’s truly nuts.

There are some seats left on Spirit Airlines, Donald.

Please. He saw the limp crowd in Bozeman and this is his excuse to bow out.

Records of a bad helicopter ride with Willy Brown.

So that means he’s currently scribbling out “had a bad landing, very BAD landing, very bad with Willie, Willie BROWN. As we PLUMMETED he said Kamabla is very NASTY, a real NASTY CRAZY woman. Not as crazy as CRAZY NANCY but close” into a diary a 2024 diary where he’s crossed out 2024 and written 2014.

Trump is threatening to sue the NYT? This is too funny. The reporting is neither false nor malicious. The Times simply reported Willie Brown said this bad landing never happened - and we can hear Brown's denial on the news with our own ears. Consequently, Trump has no ground to stand on because the reporting is accurate.

Stay tuned: perhaps tomorrow Trump will threaten to sue Willie Brown.

Perhaps he meant Charlie Brown?

Does the press (should put that in quotes) fly along with Trump in that plane? Because I’d be rethinking that.

Wait! His plane had mechanical difficulties and had to make an emergency landing? Was Willie Brown on board?!?!?

Time's almost up, Donnie.

NYT:

“We have the flight records of the helicopter,” Mr. Trump insisted Friday, saying the helicopter had landed “in a field,” before shouting that he was “probably going to sue” over the Times article.

When asked to produce the flight records, Mr. Trump responded mockingly, repeating the request in a sing-song voice. As of early Friday evening, he had not provided them.

Mr. Trump has a history of claiming he will provide evidence to back up his claims but ultimately not doing so.

Yeah, R532, that Hawaiian “investigation” into Obama’s birth certificate must still be ongoing.

Please. The fucking NYT will publish an editorial saying how dump was right, they were wrong and how everything is Joe Biden’s fault and bad for Democrats.

The same NYT that today wrote how despite his promises to keep peace, "he will leave his successor a nation consumed by war."

NYT and Trump deserve each other. Let them fight.

R535, sure, Trump ally Putin invading Ukraine was totally Biden's fault. I can't believe the stupidity of the Times. Well, actually I can.

He's hanging by a thread from not completely losing it and it won't be a pretty sight when he does. Everyone needs to stay away from him.

Did he ever show up in Bozeman?

He’s probably stiffing the airplane mechanic’s invoices like he stiffs everyone else’s invoices.

[quote]Trump responded mockingly, in a sing-song, childlike voice, repeating the question

When he does that lilting, pseudo-musing light tone in his 'speeches', as though his 'power' really doesn't need to raise its voice, he's at his most completely nauseating. Which is really saying something.

We've all been around nasty pieces of work who use the tactic in the quote above. For a 78 year-old who seriously wants to be 'President' it's abjectly pathetic. However: it will of course be noted by Kamala and team in debate preparation. There's only so many ways a Felon can avoid answering a question from a former attorney general.

R536 Nah I can’t let you do that. NYT has become a self parody at times but they ain’t got that fucked up yet. I wouldn’t even say WSJ has become that fucked up and they lean right.

Bloomberg is defiantly there. Every YouTube video put up there by them is totally in the bag for Trump. Not even trying to hide it.

[quote]He's hanging by a thread from not completely losing it and it won't be a pretty sight when he does. Everyone needs to stay away from him.

As it turns out, there's a very good reason for staying away from him.

[quote] NYT has become a self parody at times but they ain’t got that fucked up yet.

Not sure about that. The "nation consumed by war" piece yesterday was so substance-free, so driven by rhetorical sleiight-of-hand and wild hyperbole, it could have been written by the Trump campaign.

He's big mad. Watch out, "Maggot Hagermann"!

Wa wah wah everything I don’t like is fake 😭

I hope he doesn't die in a plane crash, I want his demise to be slow and long lasting.

Such thanks Maggot Hagermann gets for her "Trump will be fair to the gays" reportage!

Mystery solved. Few will be surprised to learn that Trump can't tell one black politician from another.

[quote] The man who almost crashed in a helicopter with Donald Trump told POLITICO Trump confused him with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown — despite the former president’s repeated insistence it was Brown.

[quote]“Willie is the short Black guy living in San Francisco,” Holden said. “I’m a tall Black guy living in Los Angeles. “I guess we all look alike,” Holden told POLITICO, letting out a loud laugh.

No, R548, he can’t linger. Lingering means he’s physically around to continue whining and keeping MAGATs foaming at the mouth. It’d also keep Project 2025 alive - if he was instantly gone, it’d at least kill it for awhile. And there’s always the risk of election fuckery to favor him.

You know what I am pissed about. That I used to be a huge fan of the Apprentice. Not celebrity Apprentice, I mean the original one. It was classy reality tv at the time lol. My god I was such a bloke in high school.

R552, I was having a similar conversation with someone not long ago. I concluded by saying, though, that I never envisioned the reality TV host Trump as a future president. Jeff Probst, I added in jest, maybe, but never Trump.

The T-Rump campaign seems basically at a standstill until after the DNC. What's their strategy? Will he come out with occasional tirades to try to sideswipe the political narrative? Will there be a thorough retooling resulting in tightly disciplined campaign going into Labor Day? (Haha.)

It’s a little encouraging, though, that in a place like Bozeman he can’t get more than a handful of people show up. Wasn’t even enough to pack a high school gym. Given that he’s doing fewer rallies, this has got to annoy the hell out of him. What I’d love to know is how much money he’s raking in from selling his crap, like those god awful gold running shoes. He’s just so pathetic.

Of all the lies, thousands of them, five outrageous ones at the presser, the helicopter is the one that blows up? It’s a blatant and fantastical lie but one of many.

It's the one we couldn't get Ivanka to substantiate, R556.

[quote]the helicopter is the one that blows up? It’s a blatant and fantastical lie but one of many

The image of a crashing helicopter is as vivid as a dumpster fire or a train wreck. The Felon put that image in our heads, and blended it - in his unique style - with mistaken identity, and a slur on Kamala Harris.

Small wonder this spectacular lie has legs. The comedy value at the DNC could be sensational, not that there's any lack of other material to provoke huge long roars of laughter.

Remember his fascination with Sunset Boulevard? IMO He's preparing for his close up. When the walls close in he will simply act crazy/sick to avoid consequences. Not guilty by reasons of insanity/public sympathy.

Not enough vaseline in the world for that camera lens!

He's gonna lose it even more when he sees the latest NYT/Sienna poll of his three favorite states.

He can't sing, can he?

^ Now that the tables have turned whatever happened to our dire Poll Troll. Kind of quiet lately

R563 I always thought Poll Troll was neutral. I didn’t realize he has an agenda.

IF these trends continue, R561, you have to know that, unlike party warriors of yore who campaigned their hearts out against long odds until the bitter end, Trump will effectively end his campaign, tanking the chances of down ballot republicans. Hell, he's hardly campaigning now.

[quote]Hell, he's hardly campaigning now.

Donald Trump is a low energy person. For him to get things done is hard.

Norma or Donald?

This is my life, it always will be. Nothing else, Just us and the cameras and those wonderful people out there in the dark.

[quote] Donald Trump is a low energy person. For him to get things done is hard.

Yup.

oh, i think we'll have a film study of A FACE IN THE CROWD this semester.

Forget rewrite - take this down direct!

r538, No I want to be there and just point my finger at him and laugh and laugh and laugh.

Can anyone explain why the people behind him at his rallies do not react? The people at Kamala's events react in real time to what she is saying. it was one of the most joyous parts of her Philly rally seeing those black ladies one step ahead of her when she said 'if you got something to say'.

At Trump's events the people behind him stand there expressionless. Some of them are looking down (at a phone?), or around the room. They often react with a 20 second delay. Trump will say that someone is stupid....nothing.....10 seconds later......some booing and jeering behind him. It's like there is a hype man telling them to do it. Maybe there is. During some of his most vicious rants about other politicians the people in the background are stoney faced. Maybe they have no idea who Schumer is or why the comment is offensive.

r572, in the previous election, there were ads for people to attend his rallies for pay. Maybe it's the same in this case.

Maybe because, R572, they've been paid to attend these rallies (common in the Trump campaign) and don't have the spontaneous enthusiasm of the Dems. There are campaign flunkies in the stadiums to get the crowd going (or were in 2020).

R572, this is a good observation. It's true, part of his audience may be paid to be there, but there's a bigger issue: Trump is not talking about anything that anyone cares about. He's just whining about his grievances and insulting people. That's not going to put food on anyone's table.

R555 I saw people online last night claiming 20,000 people were unable to get inside and watched in overflow tents outside. 😂

This is Access Hollywood 2.0. Worse.

The Republican nominee is on tape calling Kamala Harris “pathetic, a f*cking b*tch.” 😡

This is not locker room talk. This is a misogynistic, self-centered egomaniac with a history of abusing women.

A lot of Trump supporters came dressed as empty seats.

Did they bring out Clint Eastwood to talk to them and warm them up for the main act?

It had to be. The internet is going to break. This is only their kickoff call. Lordy.

Trending on Twitter: Oh Don - did you see this ?! @realDonaldTrump @LaraLeaTrump …. It’s over.

How many coke deliveries are expected at MAL this weekend?

Oh wow. This is bad. If America has any decency left, this is bad.

VP Harris has a response:

that post isn't the real harris account

In the clip @ R577 he's not only old, smug, fat, stupid, offensive and ugly, but also breathless. Not great features with which to fight two vigorous intelligent opponents almost a generation younger, who don't generally require golf carts.

Lordy, there’s a tape!

Oh wow. Not a deepfake. Is this kamikaze?

Is that video real?

He says 'she's so fucking bad'

Doesn't matter. There could be video of him cumming on her photograph while screaming the n word and he would not lose his voters. However, he has reached his ceiling and he is not winning new voters. We need to focus on getting people out to vote to overwhelm his loyal but stagnant support.

I know, R576, and oddly, not one of those 20,000 people own a cellphone with a camera 🤔

Harris

and Walz

for a big win.

Keep the Senate,

take the House,

and re-defeat the same Civi War mentalities

R589- I'm not sure but it is being plastered all over SM, along with other reports from Haberman confirming that he did in fact call her that.

we've been enduring

That clip is actually interesting for apparently (from what he says at the beginning) being from after the debate but before Biden stepped aside. Trump is already anticipating that the debate performance will drive Biden ("that old broken down pile of crap") out *and* that Harris will step in: does he mean as president, or (as happened) just as nominee? In any case, he obviously anticipates that she'll be easier for him to beat.

The word was that his campaign has been stymied because they were unprepared for a campaign against anyone but Biden—but this (if I'm interpreting right) makes it look like they just didn't think they'd have to campaign against her because she would just implode on her own. Which she hasn't.

since fucking Reagan's

incompetent ascendancy.
