Donald Trump gets everything wrong about the climate crisis

Here is the biggest thing happening on our planet as we head into the autumn of 2024: the Earth is continuing to heat dramatically. Scientists have said that there’s a better than 90% chance that this year will top 2023 as the warmest ever recorded. And paleoclimatologists were pretty sure last year was the hottest in the last 125,000 years. The result is an almost-cliched run of disasters: open Twitter/X anytime for pictures of floods pushing cars through streets somewhere. It is starting to make life on this planet very difficult, and in some places impossible. And it’s on target to get far, far worse.
Here’s the second-biggest thing happening on our planet right now: finally, finally, renewable energy, mostly from the sun and wind, seems to be reaching some sort of takeoff point. By some calculations, we’re now putting up a nuclear plant’s worth of solar panels every day. In California, there are now enough solar farms and wind turbines that day after day this spring and summer they supplied more than 100% of the state’s electric needs for long stretches; there are now enough batteries on the grid that they become the biggest source of power after dark. In China it looks as if carbon emissions may have peaked – they’re six years ahead of schedule on the effort to build out renewables.
And here’s the third biggest thing in the months ahead: the American presidential election, which looks as if it is going down to the wire – and which may have the power to determine how high the temperature goes and how fast we turn to clean power.
Donald Trump gave an interview last week, in which he laid out his understanding of climate change:
Quote:I’ve quoted this at length because this could again be the most important man on the planet, talking about the most important issue the planet has ever faced. And he’s gotten every word of it wrong. It’s gibberish.
You know, when I hear these poor fools talking about global warming. They don’t call it that any more, they call it climate change because you know, some parts of the planet are cooling and warming, and it didn’t work. So they finally got it right, they just call it climate change. They used to call it global warming. You know, years ago they used to call it global cooling. In the 1920s they thought the planet was going to freeze. Now they think the planet’s going to burn up. And we’re still waiting for the 12 years. You know we’re down almost to the end of the 12-year period, you understand that, where these lunatics that know nothing, they weren’t even good students at school, they didn’t even study it, they predict, they said we have 12 years to live. And people didn’t have babies because they said – it’s so crazy. But the problem isn’t the fact that the oceans in 500 years will raise a quarter of an inch, the problem is nuclear weapons. It’s nuclear warming … These poor fools talk about global warming all the time, you know the planet’s going to global warm to a point where the oceans will rise an eighth of an inch in 355 years, you know, they have no idea what’s going to happen. It’s weather.
But it’s gibberish in the service of something very important and very dangerous: doing all that he can to block the energy transition, in America and around the world. His friends at Project 2025 have laid out in considerable detail how you translate that gibberish into policy. It lays out in loving detail many of the steps his administration would use to bolster oil, gas and coal while sidetracking sun and wind.

Trump and his campaign enter turbulent phase in final weeks
By Ashley Parker, Josh Dawsey, Marianne LeVine | Sept 21, 2024
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/21/trump-turbulence-ca
mpaign-election/
Donald Trump’s top advisers have insisted for months that his 2024 bid for the presidency is the most disciplined campaign he has ever run. They pointed to fewer leaks, less infighting and a more deliberate strategy honed by seasoned professionals and driven by data.
But with just 45 days left until the election, the past three weeks reveal whatever control and self-restraint helped launch Trump’s third presidential campaign has largely disappeared in the crucial final stretch.
On the Monday before Trump’s first debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, his running mate shared on social media, without evidence, the claim that Haitian immigrants were abducting and eating their neighbors’ pets — one Trump repeated the following night on the debate stage, in a moment that instantly went viral.
Trump’s chaotic and widely criticized debate performance coincided with an already tumultuous period for the former president. He had recently welcomed back into his orbit Corey Lewandowski — his former 2016 campaign manager who was exiled after allegations of sexual assault by a donor — and had begun traveling around the country with Laura Loomer, a far-right ally who has spread conspiracy theories. Two failed apparent assassination attempts, as well as additional threats against him, have also left the freewheeling president constrained by a mushrooming security presence and has made staging campaign events more challenging.
Meanwhile, after Taylor Swift endorsed Harris following the debate, Trump picked a fight with the international icon, posting last Sunday on social media, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” — the sort of impulsive, impetuous display that has become increasingly common in recent weeks. In a single 24-hour span at the end of last month, for example, he amplified a crude joke about Harris performing a sex act; falsely accused her of staging a coup against President Joe Biden; promoted tributes to the QAnon conspiracy theory; hawked digital trading cards; and became embroiled in a public feud with staff and officials at Arlington National Cemetery.
The Swift attack was especially concerning to Trump’s advisers, who are worried about attracting women voters. But Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said Trump was more popular than Swift — citing a Siena poll — and that Gold Star families who had lost loved ones serving in the military had invited Trump to Arlington Cemetery.
By early last week, Trump and his No. 2, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), found themselves trying to reverse-engineer evidence of Haitians eating cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio, arguing they were simply trying to draw attention to the real problem of immigration. They also used inflammatory rhetoric to blame Biden and Harris — who Trump called “the enemy from within” — for what the Republican ticket claimed was inflammatory rhetoric that lead to the apparent attempts on Trump’s life.
“The through-line,” said one Trump confidant, “is his campaign is 96 percent him.”
“It’s not even ‘Let Trump be Trump,’” this person continued, referring to the oft-quoted unofficial motto of Trump advisers. “It’s ‘Let Trump be unsupervised at all times.’ They just feel like, ‘We can’t control him, so let’s hope he wins anyways.’”
This account of the Trump campaign’s recent frenetic period is based on interviews with nine aides, advisers and others familiar with the situation, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal internal details.
In many ways, the past three weeks or so have been quintessentially unruly and turbulent, and hark back to Trump’s first, quixotic presidential bid in 2016, when he alarmed allies and party elders before pulling off an improbable victory.
With polls continuing to show a close contest, Trump’s team remains optimistic he will prevail in November. They privately point to what

She's a Democrat, college "educated" activist spitting out her preprogrammed responses. Whether somebody on MSNBC or Amy said it first hardly matters because they'd both say it anyway.

Every time you type something it's an attempted rhetorical trick. A large part of that is due to the fact that you've never had an original thought in your head and you just repeat everything I could hear if I was tuned in to MSNBC 24/7.

Is Donald Trump, as J.D. Vance once asked, just a ‘cynical asshole’ or ‘America’s Hitler’?
By David Runciman | Sat 21 Sep 2024 07.00 EDT
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/21/is-donald-trump-a-fasc
ist
On 6 January 2021, two weeks before he was due to leave office, Trump encouraged his supporters to march on the Capitol in a bid to prevent the congressional ratification of his election defeat. Though Trump claims he was not responsible for what happened next, the riot that followed – with his supporters storming government buildings and elected officials fleeing for their lives – echoed some of the darkest chapters of modern European history. This is how fascists behave when democracy stops working for them. It was monstrous. But it was also ridiculous. The mob seemed clueless what to do once they had breached the Capitol’s defences. They were dressed for a day trip, not an insurrection. Some – most notoriously the “QAnon shaman” in his horned raccoon headgear and patriotic face paint – looked as though they were headed for a kids’ fancy-dress party. If this was fascism, it was also a farce.
The question of whether a conman can also be a fascist – or a fascist also a conman – has become more pressing after Trump came within inches of becoming a martyr for the cause. On 13 July Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump at a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, grazing the candidate’s ear with one shot and killing a member of the crowd with another. A few weeks earlier, the New Republic – a left-leaning magazine – had published a special issue devoted to the threat posed by Trump’s potential return to the White House. Its cover pictured him with a Hitler comb-over and toothbrush moustache (based on a 1932 Nazi campaign poster), with the tagline “American Fascism: What Would It Look Like”. The image went viral.
Plenty of Trump’s supporters were quick to link the two events. Chip Roy, a Republican congressman from Texas, tweeted an image of the New Republic cover after the assassination attempt with the words, “You bastards.” JD Vance, who had not yet been chosen as Trump’s running mate, wrote, “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.” This despite the fact that in 2016 Vance had posted on Facebook, “I go back and forth between thinking Trump might be a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he might be America’s Hitler.”
Cynical asshole or fascist? Since 2016, Trump’s behaviour has made the question more acute without settling it. Robert O Paxton, an authority on the historical definition of fascism, argued in 2017 that, despite many overlaps, Trump did not ultimately fit the bill: he was too much of a poser, too lacking in a coherent political programme and too much of a plutocrat. Hitler expropriated the wealthy; Trump sucks up to them. But after the events of 6 January 2021, Paxton changed his mind. In Newsweek a few days afterwards he wrote, “Trump’s incitement of the invasion of the Capitol … removes my objection to the fascist label. His open encouragement of civic violence to overturn an election crosses a red line.” Trump’s time in office, by implication, had not revealed him to be a fascist (he had, after all, failed to deliver on his promise to jail his main political rival, as he had failed to deliver on many of his promises). It was the manner of his refusal to leave office that had moved the dial.
Michael Tomasky, editor of the New Republic, wrote in his introduction to the magazine’s American fascism issue, “We at the New Republic think we can spend this election year in one of two ways. We can spend it debating whether Trump meets the nine or 17 points that define fascism. Or we can spend it saying, ‘He’s damn close enough, and we’d better fight.’” The articles that followed laid out what life in the US under a second Trump term

How Trump Weaponized White Rural America’s Shame
By Arlie Russell Hochschild | September 12, 2024 11:28 AM EDT
https://time.com/7020792/trump-white-rural-america-shame-blame-essay/
Ideas about pride vary surprisingly with a person’s political party. As one recent Pew survey shows, 71% of those who were or lean Republican think people are rich because they “work hard.” When asked why a person ends up being poor, only a third of Republicans say it’s due to circumstances beyond their control. So, in a terrible irony, those who face a tougher economy blame themselves for failing. They feel a more painful pinch between the cultural terms set for earning pride and the economic opportunity to do so.
Blue-collar whites in economically suffering rural or semi-rural areas — most of whom are Republican — are likely to base their pride on an older, stricter version of the Protestant Ethic: if you succeed at work, you take the credit, and if you fail, you take the blame. Such a man is likely to embody what I call a “pride paradox.”
The pride paradox is central to the great appeal of Donald Trump. It is through his masterful ability to shift shame into blame that he has pushed much of white working-class America to accept his turn to the far right, a matter that seems baffling or crazy to many outside it.
His supporters hear in his words an anti-shame ritual. This ritual is composed of four moments: In Moment 1 Trump says something transgressive. To take an early example, when he announced his presidential bid in 2015 he declared, “when Mexico sends its people…they’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” In Moment 2, the punditry shames Trump, saying in essence, “You can’t say that! How disgraceful.” After Trump’s Mexican rapist remark, Macy’s announced that it would discontinue Trump’s menswear line. NBC — which hosted Celebrity Apprentice — announced it was severing ties “due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump.” Univision revoked its promise to air Trump’s Miss America and Miss Universe contests.
In Moment 3, Trump turns to his followers saying in effect: They hurt me. I’m in pain, as you are. I’m suffering for you. Then comes Moment 4, the most important: Trump roars back at the shamers. “If NBC is so weak and so foolish,” Trump said in 2015, “as to not understand the serious illegal immigration problem…” and he unleashed accusations against a variety of enemies — Macy’s, NBC, the “treasonous press,” the “deep state,” and the Democratic party — saying, in effect, I will protect you against these causes of your distress.
Later repetitions of this ritual have begun with different provocations. For example, Trump’s claim that immigrants “poison the blood” of America, or after the 2017 killing in Charlottesville, that “there are good people on both sides,” or the claim that some Black Lives Matter protest participants were “animals.”
When I outlined the idea of this 1-2-3-4 shame ritual to a Republican business developer in eastern Kentucky who led a spirited 20-mile pro-Trump vehicle parade before the 2020 election, he laughed out loud. “Sure. That’s right. Trump can’t be shamed.” I asked him if Trump didn’t sometimes poke the bear — that is, provoke liberal critics to shame him, enabling him to claim victimhood and roar back. Again, he laughed and said, “Sure.” When I asked Andrew Scott, mayor of Coal Run, Ky., he replied, “Yes, Trump taunts the liberal media to taunt us, and they fall for it every time. And then the networks make money covering it.”
This turn from shame to blame and revenge has been meanwhile exacerbated by some liberal taunting. Hillary Clinton’s description of Trump backers as “a basket of deplorables” or Bette Midler’s tweet describing West Virginians as “poor, illiterate and strung out” are used to expand an imagined army of enemy shamers. Whipping up a sense of anger at such shaming, Trump has transformed lost pride into stolen pride and vowed “retribution” against the imagined thief — a deep

Why Trump and Vance’s strategy is ‘say anything, make up anything’
From Vance’s penchant to ‘create stories’ to Trump’s false claims, lies are brazenly flaunted as a tactic to win support
By David Smith | Sun 22 Sep 2024 07.00 EDT

JD Vance was holding court on CNN’s State of the Union programme. “The American media totally ignored this stuff,” he complained last Sunday, “until Donald Trump and I started talking about cat memes.”
But it wasn’t just a meme, objected interviewer Dana Bash. The Republican vice-presidential nominee gave a telling response: “If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention, then that’s what I’m going to do.”
If ever there was a case of saying the quiet part out loud, Vance had perfected the art.
But Vance’s willingness to “create stories” to grab attention before the November’s election hinted at a new frontier in post-truth America, where a lie is no longer slyly distributed but rather brazenly flaunted as a tactic to win political support and stir up social chaos.
Their entire strategy is to say anything, make up anything, invent false narratives to try and distract away from the very real consequences of their radical and extreme agenda that is so far out of the mainstream of the American people’s interests. They think they have a better chance of winning by making up insane stories about people eating pets versus having a substantial conversation about the consequences of their policy agenda.
Trump has spent years exaggerating his personal wealth and charity giving, misleading the public about ventures such as Trump University and even misrepresenting his own height and weight. From 2011, he was a leading promoter of the false conspiracy theory that Barack Obama had been born in Kenya and was therefore not eligible to be US president.
From his inauguration on, Trump made more than 30,000 false or misleading claims during his four years in the White House. He memorably claimed to have presided over the biggest tax cut ever – in fact, Ronald Reagan’s was bigger – and repeatedly downplayed the coronavirus pandemic, telling the public that it would soon “disappear”.
But perhaps the biggest lie of all came on the night of the 2020 presidential election when Trump claimed that he had won. He stuck to this position, arguing that it had been “stolen” from him through widespread voter fraud, ultimately leading to a deadly insurrection at the US Capitol on 6 January 2021. He has since recast the rioters as martyrs and “patriots”.
Now making his third consecutive bid for the White House, Trump’s mendacity has, if possible, shifted up a gear.
Charlie Sykes, a conservative author and broadcaster, said: “What JD Vance is saying is that the facts don’t matter and that I am completely unashamed to have peddled a false story.”
“It underlines the degree to which Trump and Vance and the Maga movement are addicted to these fake online internet memes and unshakeable in their attachment to them. Even when they are refuted, they stick with them, which is a dangerous thing because it means that no matter how much evidence you can provide, no matter how dangerous the lies turn out to be, they’re not going to back off.”
Sykes warned: “They’re going to keep pushing. Extrapolate this to what’s going to happen in November and the election results. Extrapolate it to anything.”

Former President Donald Trump has been increasingly clear about his intention to use the power of the presidency to seek revenge on those he considers his political enemies if his bid to retake the White House is successful in the November elections.
Trump’s promises of retaliation are not new. Since entering the political arena in 2015, he has used the politics of grievance to motivate many of his supporters. While addressing a crowd last year at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump declared, “I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.”
However, in the days after he was found guilty of 34 felony counts in a New York state court last month, a case in which he has not yet been sentenced, Trump’s promises of revenge have not been made on behalf of his supporters, but as a reaction to his own personal legal difficulties.

On this day in 2016: Clinton +6.3
Biden won that popularity contest by less than 4 points, and we all know what happened in 2016.
Harris will NEVER rise above 1 or 2 points in the aggregate on Trump, even with the gaslighting. She's peaked. This is her plateau.
Once they can't hide her anymore and everybody gets to see how dumb she is and how toxic her policies are for our country, it's all over for you.
Maybe some of you will finally stop blindly believing everything MSNBC tells you once this happens.
Hope you're really enjoying yourselves in the meantime.

1.9 points. 1.9 points was Harris' peak.
She hit 1.7 points on August 21st and has now floundered between 1.5 points and 1.9 points for the 17 days since.
The DNC was August 19th through the 22nd. RFK dropped out of the race on August 23rd.
Both of these events are now baked into the polls.
Morning Consult's most recent poll put Harris at +3 when its previous poll had her at +4. Outside of Rasmussen Reports, any polls that have Harris higher than the last time they polled were a LONG time ago and predated the DNC.
On this day in history Biden was up +7.1 and Clinton was up +3.1 in the meaningless Popular Vote. Harris is only up 1.8 points.

On this day in history, Joe Biden lead by +6.5 and Hilary Clinton lead by +1.3.
Don't worry though. This was damage that Clinton did by calling half the country deplorable. The Legacy Media did a great job killing discussion on that and slowly gaslit everyone into believing she was up +6.7 by the middle of October.
September 23rd:
40 Days. That's what I got. Kamala rose to 2.2 in the RCP aggregate for the Popularity Contest on Sunday, 41 days after I said she would not rise above 2.
So she has.
Not sure how, seeing how many black people and union members are not going to vote Democrat this cycle.
Clinton began her upswing that saw her once again peak at +6.7 on October 17th this weekend. In only 2 days she'd risen from +1.3 to +2.6 today.
Kamala is now at 2.2. If the election were held tomorrow and the polls were as skewed in favor of Democrats as they have been the last 2 elections, Trump still wins the popular vote.

Yale historian Timothy Snyder, who accurately predicted Trump’s insurrection, makes a startling new prediction: “We’re looking almost certainly at a Republican attempt in 2024 to take power without winning the election.” He warns that Republican-controlled state legislatures will suppress Black votes and give the legislatures control over casting electoral votes in 2024 to, even if they lose by 10 million votes, “still appoint the president of their choosing.” He says that while most coup attempts fail, “a failed coup is practice for a successful coup.”
This historian predicted Jan. 6. Now he warns of greater violence.
By Dana Milbank | July 15, 2021
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/07/15/american-democracy-
survived-its-reichstag-fire-jan-6-threat-has-not-subsided/
In September, I wrote that the United States faced a situation akin to the 1933 burning of Weimar Germany’s parliament, which Hitler used to seize power.
“America, this is our Reichstag moment,” the column said, citing the eminent Yale historian Timothy Snyder on the lessons of 20th-century authoritarianism. Snyder argued that President Donald Trump had “an authoritarian’s instinct” and was surrounding the election in “the authoritarian language of a coup d’etat.” Predicted Snyder: “It’s going to be messy.”
Trump enablers such as Sen. Lindsey Graham scoffed. “With all due respect to @Milbank, he’s in the bat$hit crazy phase of Trump Derangement Syndrome,” the South Carolina Republican tweeted, with a link to my column.
But now we know that 1933 was very much on the mind of the nation’s top soldier, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “This is a Reichstag moment,” Milley told aides of Trump’s “stomach-churning” lies about election fraud. “The gospel of the Führer,” Milley labeled Trump’s claims.
Milley, as reported in a forthcoming book by The Post’s Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker, feared that people around Trump were seeking to “overturn the government,” saw that pro-Trump protesters would serve as “brownshirts in the streets” — and was determined that “the Nazis aren’t getting in” to block Joe Biden’s inauguration.
American democracy survived that coup attempt on Jan. 6. But the danger has not subsided. I called Snyder, who accurately predicted the insurrection, to ask how the history of European authoritarianism informs our current state.
“We’re looking almost certainly at an attempt in 2024 to take power without winning election,” he told me Thursday. Recent moves in Republican-controlled state legislatures to suppress the votes of people of color and to give the legislatures control over casting electoral votes “are all working toward the scenario in 2024 where they lose by 10 million votes but they still appoint their guy.”
History also warns of greater violence. “If people are excluded from voting rights, then naturally they’re going to start to think about other options, on the one side,” Snyder said. “But, on the other side, the people who are benefiting because their vote counts for more think of themselves as entitled — and when things don’t go their way, they’re also more likely to be violent.”
The extinguishing of our Reichstag fire on Jan. 6 made Trump’s failed coup less like 1933 Germany than 1923 Germany, when Hitler’s clownish Beer Hall Putsch failed. Historically, most coup attempts fail. “But a failed coup is practice for a successful coup,” Snyder said. This is what’s ominous about the Republicans’ determination to sabotage investigations that could help us learn from the Jan. 6 insurrection. Also ominous is the move in many Republican-controlled states to ban schools from teaching about systemic racism — “memory laws,” Snyder calls them — which “feeds into this authoritarian turn” by providing cover for the new attempts to disenfranchise more non-White voters. “They’re trying to ban the discussion of things like voter suppression, and it’s precisely the history of voter suppression which allows us to see it for what it is,” Snyder said.
It all boils down to this:

Kamala Harris Will Flip Two Critical Trump States, Says Ex-RNC Chair
By Theo Burman | Sep 23, 2024 at 6:00 AM EDT
https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-flip-swing-states-rnc-chair-don
ald-trump-1957648s
Vice President Kamala Harris is within striking distance of taking two major swing states, which would spell doom for Donald Trump's campaign, according to a former Republican National Committee chair.
The Democratic nominee could potentially pick up North Carolina and Florida, instantly winning the election, according to top Republican Michael Steele, who headed the party's committee from 2009 to 2011.
If Harris won North Carolina and Florida, along with every other non-swing state that President Joe Biden won in 2020, she would receive 272 Electoral College votes, enough to win the election, even if former President Donald Trump won every other swing state. With 16 votes from Georgia as well, Harris would have 288 votes.
Speaking to MSNBC on Sunday, Steele said that several traditionally red states could fall to Harris in November, also highlighting Georgia, which has been a top priority for both candidates.
"This coalition being created right now by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is not just one to watch," Steele said. "It will be one that the history books will study, when she takes this thing to victory. Florida and North Carolina will fall, along with Georgia."
Steele attributed the flips to his party's hardline stance on abortion, which he believes could alienate traditional Republican voters in the swing states, especially women.
"Abortion is in play. What that does is it draws in center-right voters that would otherwise be aligned with the Republican party. That falls away because of the heavy-handed nature in which Republicans want to control women's bodies. The Right is taking away rights, and that doesn't sit well."
The first Black chair of the RNC, Steele has been a longtime critic of Trump, refusing to endorse him in both 2016 and 2020, and he branded him as a racist in 2018 over the former president's description of "sh*thole" countries.
Newsweek contacted the Trump campaign for a response to Steele's comments.

SECOND, you DO realize that Joe isn't doing jack shit anymore. He hadn't held a Cabinet meeting in a year, and when he finally did he introduced his wife, left the room, and Jill held the meeting.
Your hero, Joe Biden, ain't gonna rescue anybody from anything.
But you should surely come to the attention of our security state.

I find it pointless to argue about polling data, or to predict who's going to win.
WE don't get to see the real polling data - yanno, the polls that the campaigns commission for themselves. All we get to see is the propaganda that the MSM and deep state neocons churn out. And assasination. There's always that. And if the vote counting isn't being messed with, it's the voter rolls, or the voting process itself.
Why does the deep state try to get everyone riled up about nonexistent "election interference" from abroad when we have so much of it at home?
Hardly anybody talks about what they think the candidates' policies are gonna be.
Oh, BTW, I pretty much discount everything the DNC platform promises, and about 80% of what Trump says.
But both candidates have a policy track record by now so it should be possible to project their agendas. Furthermore, a President's unique bailiwick is foreign policy, something that Americans don't think about much, but should.
Kamala will do whatever her puppeteer will tell her to do, and if her puppeteer is the Obama clan, she is wedded to the "lead from behind" CIA approach. That is, continue with the globalist and neocon agenda, just don't leave her fingerprints on it. So, more regime change/ nation destruction operations, I imagine the focus will change from Europe to the BRICS and ASEAN nations. More money to central banks. Attempts to regime change Georgia (the nation) again. Deficit spending. No border control. More "woke" divisiveness.
Trump is more specific. Border control. Fewer wars. Unwavering support for Israel. Tariffs.

It's moot.
Trump wins in a landslide.
At this point I think the Legacy Media is either willfull or unwittingly engaging in a lie so big here you're going to see the college "educated" white people burn down cities after the results are tallied up.
Democrats have had HUGE losses in support among men of all ages across every skin color. Among blacks, Mexican-Americans, the unions, and even among the Muslim population they pander to daily, their support has fallen. The only two demographics they are arguably improving on is college "educated" and white women.
There are not enough college "educated" white women in America to turn the tables with the abortion debate.
This race is not even close. It never has been. All of the gaslighting since they performed a coup on Joe Biden* has lead to nothing. Just a "lead" in the Popularity Contest by so little that Trump still wins the popular vote if you go by how bad the polls are historically in favor of Democrats.

Mitt Romney’s Trump problem
What will Romney do if Donald Trump wins?

When Coppins asked what a second Trump term would mean for Romney, the senator hesitated.
Coppins writes:
“I don’t know the answer to that,” Romney said. If Trump tried to sic the Justice Department on him, Romney told me, “The good news is I haven’t had an affair with anybody, I don’t have any classified documents, I can’t imagine something I’ve done that would justify an investigation, let alone an indictment.”
What about his sons? Might they be targeted?
“I mean, hopefully they’ve all crossed their t’s and dotted their i’s,” Romney replied, straining to sound casual. “But it’s hard for me to imagine that President Trump would take the time to go out and see if (he) can find something on members of my family.”
“You might need to expand your imagination,” I suggested.
Romney grew irritated. “Yeah, but I’ve got 25 grandkids!” he said, throwing up his hands. “How am I going to protect 25 grandkids, two great-grandkids? I’ve got five sons, five daughters-in-law — it’s like, we’re a big group.” This was clearly a problem to which he’d given serious thought, and realized there was no solution. In the weeks after January 6, he’d spent thousands of dollars a day to protect his family from red-capped vigilantes. But how do you hide a family of 40 from a president hell-bent on revenge?
Realizing I’d hit a nerve, I tried to steer the conversation toward safer ground. It was possible, of course, that Trump’s “retribution” rhetoric was all bluster. But Romney didn’t seem comforted.
“I think he has shown by his prior actions that you can take him at his word,” he told me, his voice suddenly subdued. “So, I would take him at his word.”

The danger of a Trump campaign on a losing trajectory
Talk of Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield conceals Trump's tour of sundown towns in battleground states
By Chauncey DeVega | September 24, 2024 6:00AM (EDT)
https://www.salon.com/2024/09/24/the-danger-of-a-campaign-on-a-losing-
trajectory/
Gore Vidal was correct when he observed that the American people do not have a memory of the last week. “We are the United States of Amnesia," the famed novelist concluded. "We learn nothing because we remember nothing.” Given America’s state of hyperpolitics, the black hole that is the attention economy spurned on the 24/7 news media, and a public that is not able to concentrate longer than a goldfish, Vidal now looks much too generous.
. . .
White America practices a type of selective remembering that is grounded in an eternal present, where the complex history of the country and the color line are flattened and distorted. In this narrative, there are great men like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. show up, read a speech, die by violence and are robbed of their radicalism and inducted into the pantheon of American heroes. Miraculously, the "race problem" is solved. The election of Barack Obama is cited as further proof that racism and white supremacy have largely been vanquished. In the Age of Trump, the long arc of history has been twisted and distorted to such an extreme that now white people are perceived as the "real victims" of racism,” rather than Black and brown people. There is no substantive evidence to support such fantasies of white victimology.
Ultimately, because the American people (specifically many white people and those mercenary Black and brown people invested in accessing the privileges of whiteness) live a selective relationship to history, where the past is almost like a motherless child, they possess a limited ability to confront the challenges we are facing as a country. Thus the American people and their political elites are unable to respond effectively to Trumpism and the neofascist authoritarian movement because they still believe in the fiction of American exceptionalism and believe that fascism is something that happens “over there” by definition, and cannot be homegrown.
In one of the most recent and dangerous examples of how America’s organized forgetting has negatively impacted our public discourse and politics, Donald Trump, JD Vance and other mouthpieces and agents of the MAGA movement have recently claimed that Black Haitian refugees in Springfield, Ohio, are eating white people’s dogs and cats and presumably other pets as well.
The mainstream news media and political class — and many among the general public — are responding with shock and disgust that Trump and his agents would traffic in such obvious white supremacist and racist conspiracy theories that are dehumanizing and inciting violence against innocent people. However, alongside that disgust and outrage is a general failure to understand how these attacks against the Haitian community — which are auxiliary to the larger campaign of racism and misogyny against Kamala Harris — are part of a much older history of white supremacy and racist conspiracy theories and violence in America.
First and most importantly: there is no evidence to support this racist fear-mongering about Haitians. Vance has all but admitted that his claims that Haitian refugees are eating pets are not true. But the facts and the truth have little meaning or importance for racists and white supremacists because their ideology and beliefs are based on the twin lies of the race concept and that race is a real thing. Those people deemed to be “white” are thought to be somehow inherently superior to nonwhites.
Racist conspiracy theories and rumors about Black and brown immigrants eating white people’s pets have a long history. Such lies are routinely circulated by white supremacists and other racists and nativists when there are changes, real or perceived, in the country’s racial and ethnic demographics.

Oh... I wasn't referring to Republican voters vs. Democrat voters either.
I got a brother who lives on the east coast and spends all of his free time agonizing over his white guilt with his wife in their $1 Million Brownstone. I know that he's not an idiot, but I realize that's just anecdotal. Don't ask me to explain why he and his wife thought it was a good idea to buy my niece "Anti-Racist Baby" (I assume they read it to her every night before she went to bed and they weren't just "showing off" for their rich, white, east coast college "educated" friends). Also, don't ask me to explain why they didn't let anybody buy her any "gendered" clothing until she was old enough to verbally confirm to them that she was a girl. I'm hoping that when she started speaking she told them she didn't want them to read that shit to her anymore.
I assure you he was normal before he went away to college.
And yup... When EVERYTHING is "BREAKING NEWS" than nothing is breaking news.

Funny story about my one niece and her son. She wanted him to grow up sensitive and caring. So she asked him what he would do if he saw someone being bullied. He grabbed a Halloween sword we had lying around, swung it and said "I'd stab them! [The bully]" Not exactly the response she has in mind!

. . . At a rally this past weekend in North Carolina, Trump declared that “a vote for Kamala Harris means 40 or 50 million more illegal aliens will invade across our borders, stealing your money, stealing your jobs, stealing your life.” Chillingly, he added that migrants were already “attacking villages and cities all throughout the Midwest.”
This followed earlier remarks in Arizona, in which he alleged that “young American girls” are “being raped and sodomized and murdered by savage criminal aliens.”

Because of the Electoral College, the national polls are irrelevant.
At the state level, despite the breathless headlines of “Trump leading by three” or “Harris up by two,” we have yet to see either candidate pull into a lead that is firmly outside the margin of error in the polling averages in any swing state. There are also typically 5-6 percentage points of respondents who either refuse the vote question or say they remain undecided. The state polls are also of limited help with understanding subgroups because of smaller sample sizes. For example, if you wanted to understand Black voters in Michigan, even with a poll of 1,000 voters, you’d likely have at most 150 African Americans in the sample and estimates of their opinions would have a margin of error of +/- 10 percentage points.
The most obvious, but perhaps also most surprising thing particularly given Donald Trump’s increasingly outright racist and erratic rhetoric, is how little the voting patterns have shifted since 2020 or even 2016. For example, despite everything Trump has done and even been convicted of, there’s no evidence of any erosion of support for Trump among white Christians or white frequent churchgoers. It’s a good indicator of what a death grip partisanship has on American voters.

This is only 'bad' if you're an illegal alien. But it's good to call for America to protect its borders.
Right?
Unless you're FOR illegal aliens.
Yanno what what Trump is NOT doing?
He's not turning one half of America against the other half, pitting blacks against whites, atheists against Christians, and advocating that 'they' be jailed because of some made-up crime of 'extremism'
He's not calling for more war (except in the mideast, which is a terrible mistake).
He's not calling for censorship bc of some made up crime of 'disinformation" or 'hate speech'
He's not imposing social values from some central authority
He's advocating re-industrialization
He wants border control.
How is any of that 'bad'?
Dood, we've had four years of you, and look where we are now.
Our military is in one hot war, and trying to divide itself between that and two others.
We've been invaded by tens of millions of illegal aliens.
We're broke, nationally, financially, and individually.
We're worse off than four years ago
Why should you get another bite of the apple?

A Trump return to the White House has UN officials worried about global cooperation.

NEW YORK — United Nations officials who have long worried about the return of former President Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency are experiencing a rare feeling now that Vice President Kamala Harris is in the race.
It’s not joy. It’s not excitement. It’s definitely not confidence.
It’s a word some struggle to say as if they fear jinxing it: “Hope.”
“It’s a cautious hope,” one U.N. staffer rushed to qualify. “We are all biting our nails until the very end and watching with quite a bit of stress.”
The U.S. election is a key topic of discussion among the many officials and diplomats in New York this week for the U.N. General Assembly’s annual meeting of world leaders. This is an internationally minded set well aware of the influence the U.S. president has on the rest of the world, and Harris is widely believed to be more friendly to the U.N. community than Trump, who is skeptical — at best — toward multilateral institutions.
Even if some of the diplomats hail from countries that are avowed U.S. adversaries, they largely believe in the need for international institutions such as the United Nations. And the U.S. is seen as a critical player on transnational challenges that require cross-border cooperation, such as climate change and pandemics.
In his earlier term, Trump moved to withdraw the U.S. from the U.N.’s World Health Organization during the Covid-19 pandemic. He also slashed funding for the U.N. agency that deals with Palestinian refugees and quit the U.N. cultural organization, UNESCO, over concerns that it was biased against Israel.

The DNC is also following through with persecuting New York mayor Eric Adams for telling America the truth about how bad the Harris/Biden* administration has let the invasion of America get.
Quote:
“I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became,” Adams said in a statement to The Post.
“If I am charged, I am innocent, and I will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”
In a video statement released later, Adams said he wouldn’t step down and pledged to “fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and spirit.”
“I will request an immediate trial so that New Yorkers can hear the truth. New Yorkers know my story. They know where I come from. I have been fighting injustice my entire life,” he continued.
“That fight has continued as your mayor. Despite our police, when the federal government did nothing as its broken immigration policies overloaded our shelter system with no relief, I put the people of New York before party and politics.”

How did the mayor of America’s only majority-Muslim city end up endorsing Donald Trump for president? It took weeks of outreach, a 20-minute meeting with the GOP nominee, a boost from Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, and an ad-libbed comment from Kamala Harris.
On Aug. 7, Harris’ rally on a Detroit-area airfield was interrupted by Arab-American protesters, demanding an “arms embargo and a free Palestine.” Harris shut them down instantly: “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that.” Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib, a Democrat still serving his first term, couldn’t believe it.
“Let Kamala Harris finish her speech, so Netanyahu can finish his massacre and genocide!” he posted on his personal Facebook page. “Let those opportunists fall like the autumn leaves, one after another, to endorse her administration’s crimes.”

Last year, a bipartisan group of lawmakers had negotiated a bill aimed at restricting illegal immigration. It had been written at the behest of Republicans, who said they would fund new Ukrainian military aid only if Congress also tackled the “crisis” at America’s southern border. Then Trump came out against the immigration bill, having reportedly decided that the crisis at the border was good for his reelection prospects, and Republicans promptly fell in line. To Romney, it was clear that the priority for most of his colleagues was “to do whatever their nominee wants”—not to solve the problems they’d been elected to solve: “If Donald Trump says, ‘Hey, kill that immigration deal,’ [they’re] gonna kill the immigration deal.”
Romney told me he’d been invited to deliver a commencement speech, and he planned to illustrate the cynical nature of politics today by talking about his childhood fascination with professional wrestling. As a kid, he’d been enthralled by the theatrical rivalry between “Dick the Bruiser,” a muscle-bound former NFL player, and “Haystacks Calhoun,” a 600-pound farm boy from Texas. The two men riled up crowds by thumping their chests and talking trash about each other. “I was intrigued,” Romney told me, “until my brother, six years older, said it’s all fake. And it suddenly became less interesting.” Congress, he’d come to discover, was more or less the same. “Most of what’s going on in these buildings is just fake”—less policy making than performative animosity and posturing.
I thought it sounded a little bleak for a commencement address, but Romney wasn’t soliciting feedback. Before I could say anything, he was venting about the lack of seriousness in legislative debates over the federal debt and climate change, and the plague of partisan “messaging bills” that are written to score points instead of make law. Finally, when he’d tired himself out, he slumped back in his chair. “We’ve got some real challenges,” Romney said, “and we just don’t deal with them.”

Donald Trump’s Many Lucky Breaks
A new book by two New York Times investigative reporters comprehensively debunks the notion that Trump is a good businessman.
By John Cassidy | September 23, 2024
https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-financial-page/donald-trumps-many-l
ucky-breaks
Circumstances change; Donald Trump doesn’t. In early 1973, when he was twenty-six years old, he and his father, Fred Trump, who was a major developer of houses and apartment buildings in the outer boroughs of New York City, gave an interview to the real-estate section of the Times. The resulting article described Donald as the only one of Fred’s five children to show an interest in the family business, and said that he had become its president after finishing “first in his class” at Wharton business school. The piece also noted that the Trumps were in the process of buying a prime site to develop on the East Side, which Trump fils called “our entry into the Manhattan field.”
More than fifty years on, Trump isn’t letting an election campaign or attempted assassinations interfere with his efforts to hype up and promote his various ventures. The day after federal agents arrested a man who had spent nearly twelve hours hiding outside the former President’s West Palm Beach golf course with an assault rifle, Trump appeared on an X live stream to promote a new crypto outfit, World Liberty Financial. (Three years ago, he called Bitcoin “a scam.”) On Saturday, he plugged a new set of “Official Trump Coins!” on his social-media accounts.
It just so happened that the crypto launch coincided with the publication of a new book about Trump’s business career: “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success,” by Russ Buettner and Susanne Craig, two investigative reporters at the Times. During Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign, and when he was in the White House, Buettner and Craig wrote a number of blockbuster stories revealing how, for decades, his businesses had recorded huge losses, and how he engaged in dubious schemes to reduce his taxes. In “Lucky Loser,” the authors trace Trump’s dealings all the way back to the 1973 Times story, which they describe as largely fictitious. Trump “had graduated without honors,” they write. “His brother Freddy had displayed an interest in the business and been pushed aside by their father. . . . The Trumps had not bought land on the East Side of Manhattan for an apartment building and would not do so that decade.”
It’s not news that Trump is an inveterate teller of tall tales. The more penetrating argument that Buettner and Craig make is that he’s a lousy businessman who only got as far as he did because of a series of lucky breaks that “could paper over a litany of failure and still fund a lavish life.” “There is no evidence that in fifty years of labor Donald Trump added to his lucky fortunes,” the authors conclude. “He would have been better off betting on the stock market than on himself.”
According to Axios, Steven Cheung, the director of communications for the Trump campaign, dismissed the new book as “lies” and “nonsense,” and suggested that it belonged in the bargain bin at the bookstore. Actually, it deserves a place in the shop window. Combining the groundbreaking reporting of its authors with details unearthed throughout the years by other journalists and financial analysts, “Lucky Loser” is comprehensive, persuasive, and packed with damning anecdotes.
It starts at the beginning, with Trump’s original charmed break: the family into which he was born. Buettner and Craig relate how Trump’s father, Fred, paid for his private education, created trust funds for him and his siblings, helped to finance some of his early real-estate ventures and his expensive Manhattan life style while he was on the make, and eventually b

How the world’s climate financing hinges on the U.S. election
Trump has vowed to again withdraw from the Paris Agreement, as well as from the overarching UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

ction-trump-harris
Countries have a chance to use this week’s UN meetings in New York to resolve big differences over boosting the world’s annual goal for climate finance, but uncertainty over the U.S. election could jeopardize progress ahead of the next UN climate summit in November.
Negotiators told Reuters that countries were reluctant to stake out their positions before knowing who might win the November 5 U.S. presidential vote and be setting climate policy for the world’s largest economy—and biggest historical polluter—for the next four years.
But by waiting until November for that answer, countries could be risking the chance of reaching a new deal before the world’s current $100 billion financing pledge expires at the end of this year, the negotiators and observers warned.
“The elections are in the calculus” of global climate talks, said finance negotiator Michai Robertson of the Alliance of Small Island States.

Would another Trump defeat end Trumpism?
A second Trump loss would change the GOP, but probably not in the ways conservative purists hope.

Most conservatives are as interested in voting for Kamala Harris as they are in eating a bowl of tofu marinated in motor oil.
After all, the Democratic nominee has vowed to legalize abortion nationwide, ban assault weapons, regulate prices, and increase federal spending. As Donald Trump — in his own wildly exaggerated fashion — would put it, she wants “this country to go communist immediately, if not sooner.”
And yet, some on the right are quietly rooting for Trump’s defeat. To this contingent, preventing Trump and JD Vance from remaking conservatism in their image takes precedence over keeping Harris out of the White House.
Their reasoning is simple: Trump has revised GOP orthodoxy, to the detriment of core conservative interest groups. His contempt for NATO and affinity for Vladimir Putin have incensed national security hawks. His enthusiasm for tariffs has dismayed economic libertarians. His gestures of moderation on abortion have dispirited the religious right. And his affection for mobs that threaten to kill Mike Pence has alienated Mike Pence.
All this might not amount to a case for Harris were it not for Trump’s running mate. With the notable exception of abortion rights, JD Vance is even more ideologically hostile to traditional conservatism than the GOP nominee is.

Donald Trump’s Sexual Assault Accusers Tell Their Stories in Chilling New Ads (Exclusive)
Ads launching on Wednesday, Sept. 25, feature two of the presidential nominee's accusers, including former PEOPLE reporter Natasha Stoynoff
By Ingrid Vasquez | September 25, 2024 08:00AM EDT
https://people.com/donald-trump-sexual-assault-accuser-ads-8717764
The first ad centers around former PEOPLE reporter Natasha Stoynoff, who claims she was assaulted by Trump during a December 2005 trip to Mar-a-Lago to interview him and his wife, Melania Trump, for the magazine — something he previously said had "no merit or veracity."
"At one point, Melania went upstairs to change her clothes for the next photo shoot, and Trump said to me, 'I want to show you this beautiful painting, this beautiful room.' He leads me to this room, pushes me against the wall, and starts kissing me forcefully," she says. "I tried to push him. He kept coming back at me."
"I was in shock and smothered, and he had his hands here against my shoulders. I felt sick inside. I felt horrified, and thank goodness the butler charges into the room," she continues. "Like many women, I blamed myself. So Trump turned to me and said, 'You know we're going have an affair, don't you?' and Melania was approaching. I was horrified."
The second ad features Jessica Leeds. While Trump denied the claims in the Times article, Leeds vividly recalled the alleged encounter in the new ad, saying, "The airplane took off, and all of a sudden Donald Trump started groping me. He was trying to kiss me and I'm trying to push him away, he was basically overpowering me."
"When he started putting his hand up my skirt I got out of the seat, grabbed my purse, and went back to my original seat and I certainly was shook up by the whole thing," she adds.
Trump has been accused of varying degrees of sexual misconduct by at least 26 women during his career, though he has vehemently denied wrongdoing.
Following a 2023 civil trial, a jury held him liable of sexually abusing one accuser — former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll.

Prosecutors File Sealed Brief Detailing Allegations Against Trump in Election Interference Case
Though the brief is not currently accessible to the public, prosecutors have said they intend to file a redacted version that could be made available later, raising the prospect that previously unseen allegations from the case could become public in the final weeks before the November election.
The Trump team has vigorously objected to the filing, calling it unnecessary and saying it could lead to the airing of unflattering details in the “sensitive” pre-election time period.
“The Court does not need 180 pages of ‘great assistance’ from the Special Counsel’s Office to develop the record necessary to address President Trump’s Presidential immunity defense," Trump's lawyers wrote, calling it “tantamount to a premature and improper Special Counsel report.”

Biden-Harris Admin Let A Staggering 650,000 Criminal Illegals Loose In The US: ICE
New data from US Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) reveals that over 650,000 migrants with criminal histories were let loose in the United States between 'mid-May 2023 through the end of July 2024.'
In a response to a March letter from Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX), deputy DHS Director Patrick J. Lechleitner writes:
"As of July 21, 2024, there were 662,566 noncitizens with criminal histories on ICE's national docket, which includes those detained by ICE and on the agency's non-detained docket. Of those, 435,729 are convicted criminals, and 226,847 have pending criminal charges."
Yep. Bc Biden* and Harris are patriots who only want the best for the United States.

I made the mistake of reading a few MSM articles about the election:
Polling numbers, voter rolls, the deepstate's anti- Trump dirty trick of not providing sufficient security and forcing Trump to cancel rallies, and the media's constant covering of Harris' (frequent) shortcomings.
For my peace of mind, I decided to go back to NOT reading those articles. It's too easy to get sucked into the 'horse race'/ 'team cheerleader" mentality. But that approach is used to distract an awful lot of people away from legitimate issues, like
Who is going to fix our economy?
Who is going to secure our border?
Who is going to break our addiction to debt?
Who is going to put America first?
Who is going to secure our energy, now and for the foreseeable future?
Who is going to put us on the path to sustainability?
Who is going to break the back of the deep state, and restore our Constitutional rights?
Who is going to save us from the prospect of nuclear holocaust?
Who is going to preserve the safety nets set up for the very young, the disabled, the elderly, and those expeiencing temporary misfortune?
Who is going to unite America by rewarding work in a mileu of an equal opportunity meritocracy, without favor to race, age, sex, religion, gender, or the many other wedge interests that have been used to divide us?
*****
All of these are real and IMHO existential problems that deserve, and NEED, legitimate answers. The more we focus on 'who's running ahead?' and "my team versus your team' the more these questions get buried. And that's what TPTB want.

After Letting 600K Criminals Into The US, Kamala Slithers Down To The Border And Does Trump Impression
Friday, Sep 27, 2024 - 08:00 PM
On Friday, 'Border Czar' Kamala Harris flew down to Arizona for a photo-op at the southern US border - through which untold millions of migrants from all over the world have entered the United States illegally during the Biden-Harris administration.
While there, she gave a ridiculous speech in which she (get this) called for tougher border security - pledging to enact various forms of immigration reform if she's elected in November, including a 5-year ban on reentry for those who enter the country illegally.

Trump Launches Into 'Dark Speech' On Illegal Immigration
Republican Donald Trump said himself that his speech in Wisconsin, filled with racially charged lines about illegal immigrants, was 'dark'
By AFP - Agence France Presse | September 28, 2024
https://www.barrons.com/news/trump-launches-into-dark-speech-on-illega
l-immigration-9f3bff28
Donald Trump on Saturday called Democrat Kamala Harris "mentally impaired" and said illegal immigrants are out to cut the throats of ordinary Americans in their own homes as he doubled down on the racially charged rhetoric fueling his unprecedented bid to regain the US presidency.
Trump was seeking to strike back at Harris after she visited the US-Mexico border on Friday and vowed to do more to control asylum claims and undocumented migrant crossings.
The issue is one of the Democratic vice president’s weakest in polling, as she runs neck-and-neck against Trump in the November 5 election.
Trump dismissed Harris’s speech at the border, swearing and telling supporters in the small town of Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, that President Joe Biden and Harris are responsible for an "invasion" of violent criminals.
Anti-immigrant sentiment has been at the core of Trump's appeal in economically depressed, majority-white parts of the country ever since his 2016 presidential victory, but the rhetoric is turning ever more extreme as election day nears.
The 78-year-old businessman -- the first major presidential candidate in US history to be a convicted felon and subject of multiple ongoing court cases -- said former California prosecutor Harris, 59, is "dumb."
"Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way. She was born that way. And if you think about it, only a mentally disabled person could have allowed this to happen to our country," he said.
Harris, meanwhile, spent Saturday at a fundraiser in San Francisco, California, where she said Trump was using "the same tired playbook we've heard for years."
"This election is about two very different visions for our nation and we see that contrast on the campaign trail," she said.
Trump spoke in Wisconsin while flanked on stage by large mugshots of migrants accused of crimes, painting a hellish picture of an America under violent assault -- despite a plunge this year in illegal border crossings and what the FBI says is a steep decline in crime overall, particularly murder.
"They will walk into your kitchen, they'll cut your throat," Trump said of illegal immigrants.
"Small towns in America are terrified of migrants coming in and, even when they haven't arrived, they’re terrified," he said. They will "rape, pillage, thieve, plunder and kill the people of the United States of America."
The illegal migrants, whom he called "animals," will take the jobs of minorities and of union workers, he added.
Apparently rankled by Harris’s bid Friday to deliver a tough message on the Mexican border, Trump cursed on the nationally streamed event and branded her "a liar."
He complained that Fox News, the conservative network which has provided him with a loyal platform throughout his White House career, had covered Harris's speech.
"They shouldn’t be allowed to put it on," he said.
Donald Trump is neck and neck with Kamala Harris in the polls and is hoping that anger over illegal immigration will help him across the finish line
Evidently, Trump was aware that his speech was unlike what Americans have been used to in presidential campaigns over the years.
He paused at one point to say: "Isn’t this a wonderful and inspiring speech? I’ve got people sitting in the front row -- they’re going 'oh my God.'"
"This is a dark, this is a dark speech," he said.

John Kerry Says The Quiet Part Out Loud: "First Amendment Stands As Major Block" To "Govern"
Sunday, Sep 29, 2024 - 09:15 AM
The World Economic Forum held its 'Sustainable Development Impact Meetings' during last week's United Nations General Assembly in New York City. Speaking at the meeting, far-left elitist and former presidential climate envoy John Kerry expressed frustration to fellow globalists, stating that the First Amendment frequently obstructs their agenda.
"Our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to hammer [disinformation] out of existence. What we need is to win...the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change," Kerry said.
Kerry noted, "It's very hard to govern today."
We'll translate "govern" for readers as it essentially means narration control (or official government-approved propaganda)—that is, through the censorship blob at federal government agencies in Washington, DC, the intel community, Silicon Valley's big tech, fact-checkers, think tanks and legacy corporate media.
Kerry's choice of words and tone shows that far-left radicals in the Obama-Biden-Harris team are frightened that their own misinformation and disinformation propaganda jammed through far-left corporate media outlets is no longer sticking as the citizens gravitate to the 'free speech' X platform run by Elon Musk for their news in the pursuit of truth after being lied to for decades by their corrupt government and corporate overlords.

While Harris’ 14-point advantage is an improvement from President Joe Biden’s standing when he was at the top of the ticket, it is still lower than the past leads Democratic presidential candidates enjoyed in 2012 (by 39 points), 2016 (50 points) and 2020 (36 points), according to NBC’s merged polling data from those past cycles.
They spend around 35 paragraphs trying to sugarcoat the fuck out of the data, but that paragraph right there says it all.

Will Trump try to end democracy? Yes — but these scholars claim he can't pull it off
"Dictator's Handbook" authors say a second Trump term will be dreadful — but he can't push US into autocracy

https://www.salon.com/2024/09/29/will-try-to-end-democracy-yes--but-th
ese-scholars-claim-he-cant-pull-it-off/
Shortly after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, I contacted Alastair Smith and Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, the two NYU political scientists who, several years before that, co-authored a book entitled "The Dictator's Handbook," which outlines a novel theory of how political leaders — whether they are democratically elected politicians, unelected autocrats, or somewhere in between — acquire and hold onto power. I wanted to explore the question of what a Trump presidency might mean for the future of American democracy, which seems even more urgent eight years later.
My interview with Smith and de Mesquita, published in early 2017 by Salon, was surprisingly hopeful in tone. De Mesquita expressed the view that the United States is a “mature democracy,” and “mature democracies don’t become authoritarian.” Even though Trump had clear authoritarian and even fascist tendencies, the authors reassured me that our democratic institutions would survive — and in large part, they were right. Despite Trump’s “Big Lie” about the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 insurrection, Joe Biden took his seat in the Oval Office and reversed some of Trump’s anti-democratic policies, such as the “Schedule F” executive order aimed at turning the entire executive branch into a political instrument. While countries like ours may “oscillate a bit and become more or less democratic,” de Mesquita said, there has “never” in history been a mature democracy that has slid into authoritarianism, dictatorship or autocracy. It just doesn’t happen.
Well, OK. But what about this time around? What if Trump gets elected again? As many have noted, Trump entered the White House in 2017 completely unprepared for the job. That won’t be the case if he moves back in next January: Despite his disavowal of Project 2025, he will immediately begin to implement many of its proposals, most notably by replacing much of the “deep state” (i.e., nonpartisan federal employees who are hired and promoted based on competence and expertise) with MAGA loyalists. Trump has also threatened to punish political opponents, journalists and other voices of dissent, whom he has called “vermin” and “scum.” In July, he reposted an image on Truth Social calling for a televised military tribunal of former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection and then helped lead the resulting congressional investigation.
Worse yet, the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential immunity removes many barriers to potential presidential misconduct. If Trump returns to office, he could — according to some interpretations of that decision — literally order the assassination or imprisonment of his rivals with zero legal consequences. He could get away with almost everything he’s fantasized about doing since he was first elected. So there seems to be a significant and realistic chance that Trump could become an autocrat who rigs future elections, locks up dissidents and pursues vicious retribution against his perceived enemies.
Faced with mounting anxiety about the future of our democracy, I contacted Smith and de Mesquita once again to get their take on a possible Trump 2.0 administration. Since a second Trump term would almost certainly be much worse than the first, I was curi

Donald Trump -- Check Out His Little Commander-in-Chief ... 43-Foot-Tall Naked Statue
https://www.tmz.com/2024/09/28/naked-donald-trump-statue-off-freeway/
Sources with direct knowledge tell us the statue bears the name "Crooked and Obscene" ... a reference, we're told, to the controversial nature of both the man and the statue itself.
The statue is constructed from foam over rebar and weighs around 6,000 lbs. It's a marionette -- yes, those massive arms move. As for his other appendages ... we're less sure about that.

Trump didn't create these problems. So the answer isn't "not Trump".

While I appreciate your trying to use the Socratic Method here Sigs, I don't think it's going to work on automatons. They left their critical thinking skills back in grade school.
Second is the upgraded version of Ted. Ted's only able to think in slogans and political cartoons. Second is a step above that, but twice as nasty.

Uh oh...
Looks like the illegal alien invaders are becoming quite the problem in Pennsylvania.
The Establishment is fucking stupid. With an election coming up they should have only been planting them in states that weren't going to be battlegrounds.
War might be coming within our own shores.
How much you want to bet that the white college "educated" retards who voted all of this board up their houses and hide from it and pretend that they weren't responsible for it.
No tears for anyone who votes Democrat and gets raped or murdered by the invaders they allowed here. That might just be the only way they ever learn.

Trump didn't create these problems. So the answer isn't "not Trump".
The solution to "Border" will be called "Culling" in the abstract. Think of it as the same as culling a herd of wild rampaging hogs, for example, tearing up a neighborhood, rooting up lawns looking for food. Congress will have to set "Culling" limits: How many migrants can be "culled" during a season? Can females be "culled" or only males? Can immature migrants be "culled"? To make "Culling" easier to understand, it could be the same as killing, but it also could be 1) arrest, 2) appearance before a judge, and 3) deportation. If Congress goes with the 1-2-3 steps to "culling," Congress will have to also pass a much larger budget to cover all those steps.
Whatever rules a committee in Congress writes for "Culling" will never pass so long as there are 41 Senators of the opposing party. There has to be at least 60 votes to overcome a filibuster in the Senate.
The result is no rules get passed by Congress for "Culling" migrants along the "Border" problem.
The same is true with every problem on Signym's list. Until one party or the other has 60 or more reliable Senators, without one or more Senator Manchin pretending to be reliable yet completely unreliable, nothing is going to get done. The Founding Fathers, and Senators, have designed a governing system that was intended to gridlock until one side has a super-majority in Congress. That's a very poor design, unless the electorate is super-supportive of one party or the other. But at the moment the electorate is split approximately 50-50, as it has been for many decades.

Looks like Elon knows why they're putting them in the swing states...

Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election. Far from being a threat to democracy, he is the only way to save it!
Let me explain: if even 1 in 20 illegals become citizens per year, something that the Democrats are expediting as fast as humanly possible, that would be about 2 million new legal voters in 4 years.
The voting margin in the swing states is often less than 20 thousand votes. That means if the “Democratic” Party succeeds, there will be no more swing states!!
Moreover, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying “asylum seekers”, who are fast-tracked to citizenship, directly into swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin and Arizona. It is a surefire way to win every election.
America then becomes a one-party state and Democracy is over. The only “elections” will be the Democratic Party primaries. This already happened in California many years ago, following the 1986 amnesty.
The only thing holding California back from extreme socialism and suffocating government policies is that people can leave California and still remain in America. Once the whole country is controlled by one party, there will be no escape.
Everywhere in America will be like the nightmare that is downtown San Francisco.
A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for Dick Cheney.
