'And “eating other things too that they’re not supposed to be”? So basically he’s telling this room full of Latino voters that yep, he’s still pretty sure that’s what these Haitian migrants were doing.'

This leapt out at me and I recognize it as one of Trump's rhetorical tricks. He suggest things with an innocent tone of voice. He is not good enough at it to be really evocative, but for the simple-minded it likely works.

Here is how this should be done, IMHO:

"It was reported by the Nazis and cowfuckers whose racist bullshit Stupid Hitler Trump snorts up like cocaine out of a Russian spy’s anus."

That seems pretty damp for snorting to me.

The "I just report" notion is just roflmao funny. He hates journalists and probably plans to put half of them in concentration camps if he gets elected or coups his way into office, and yet he characterizes himself as a journalist. Yup, he's a real veteran White House correspondent, that's him. Mein Gott! Was für ein Arschloch ist er?!

His tone of voice made him sound like a 5-year-old explaining how the cookie jar got broken.

The "others who had guns" were supposed to have guns. They were protecting the Capitol from violent rioters.

Note that trumpy just had to brag about the size of the crowd he spoke to that day.

Also "we didn't have guns." WE.

Trump overcharged the Secret Service and others front page WaPo.

Is anyone surprised?

I've done some reading on where Trump gets his support. Like Obama said, some young black men aren't comfortable voting for a woman, same with some white men and women. Toxic masculinity trumps (ha!) an intelligent female leader.

Problem is, they won't admit it even to themselves.

Instead, with Trump leading the way, they insult Kamala.

Somehow or other, our applications for absentee ballots were never received by the Board of Elections (I blame Frank LaRose), so we went down to the board and voted early today.

Take that, whoever fucked up our applications.

And fuck Donald Chump.

Ta, Evan. I want a deep, wide, blue wave that expands our Senate majority and takes the house, as well as more Democratic mayors, governors, city and municipal council members, judges, etc. and we're doing everything possible to make it so. Let's make him go away, and bring his phony little couchfucker along for the FAIL.

> When normal people see Trump, they see what a fucking lunatic he is, and they loathe him.

And then there's the beltway media, who sniffs his socks.

Be fair now. He makes their job so easy-all they have to do is repeat whatever he tweeted that day. Easiest job they ever do!

" just like how at the fake Harris Faulkner “women’s issues” town hall he did for Fox News on Wednesday"

Can we just stop calling these things "town halls." It was a campaign rally hosted by FOX "news." If it doesn't have a random, bipartisan crowd, it is not a town hall.

It's just a political term of art for that particular kind of campaign event anymore. You notice the "debates" are not actually debates, either.

Considering how this one seems to be also all Republicans, looks to me like they were attempting friendlies also

i like how his brain can only hold a few numbers at a time. he says 32,000 a couple times. very curious that that is the same number of the most recent Stormy Daniels hush money attempt.

32,000x + Y oh Y = WTF?

Sorry, I was subbing in an algebra class yesterday.

“eating other things too that they’re not supposed to be”

like overly salted processed crap from the local convenience store instead of the fresh vegetables and seafood they were accustomed to.

TBF, that last guy was clear that PAB has already lost his vote. What he said was he wanted to give him the chance to "earn it back." Pretty sure that was a swing and a miss.

Expand full comment

Trump hasn't "earned" anything his whole life. Why should he start now?

Expand full comment

Correct, but my point is about so-called undecided voters. The people in that hall didn’t look all that undecided to me, in fact they looked completely disgusted. Maybe they’re not all-in on Kamala, but seems to me that in that room at least, PAB has lost them. And if these registered R’s can’t bring themselves to vote for her, it’s still half a win if they sit it out.

"I'm a registered Republican, but right now I'm undecided..." NEXT.

Expand full comment

By the end of Trump's answer, I think he had switched to "decided."

Expand full comment

A great many of them are undecided between voting for Kamala and then voting R down the ballot, or just staying home and giving the middle finger to the entire Republican party at this point for forcing this choice upon them. Both options are a win in different ways. Neither will be a vote for el Señor Mierdagibón Naranja.

No you don't. You want to ostracize, terrorize, beat, kill, and deport anyone who doesn't conform to your ideals without penalty or consequence, including any MAGAi who fail to toe the line to your satisfaction you murderous, demented infant.

For trump, "people" means well-off white men who support him. In their culture, women, minorities, the poor, etc., are not people.

The disconnect that has to exist in his brain for him to tell these people that it's so terrible when immigrants, and especially ones who don't speak English, move into our communities is disturbing. His hatred of non-white immigrants is so deep in his bones that he doesn't even flinch expressing it to non-white immigrants.
