And the death spiral continues. I wrote a day or so that once the Democratic Convention started, there was no way that Traitor Tot would be able to contain himself at the ass kicking he was getting, and start to lash out. I had thought that the main media would be Bullsh*t Social and far right outlets like FUX News and OAN.
It turns out I was more right than I knew. It was announced today that starting tomorrow, His Lowness and Beggar Vance are starting what they term a Battleground Blitz! It sounds like the name of one of the challenges on American Gladiators.
This can’t be the doing of the Trump campaign, it has to be the workings of Emperor Numbus Nuttus. This is political suicide. There’s a good reason why political campaigns cede the airwaves to their opponents during the conventions. It’s because the opponents get 3-4 hours of free airtime a night, and the networks cherrypick your Greatest Sh*ts.
And nowhere will the contrast be more clearly in focus than next week. Because, c’mon, let’s be honest, Trump has nothing to sell. His economic events come off more like a 6 year old trying to talk his way out of a trip to the corner. Meanwhile The Democrats will be celebrating 50 years of selfless public service, and a positive, joyful vision of the future.
Trump has already tipped his hand in a toxic rally speech yesterday, and if it’s anything to go by, then Trump may be buried before the debate on September 10th. Just a few golden nuggets,from the rally, the italics will be my personal asides
- Harris? Who the hell is this Harris?! I was running against Biden, and one day they tell me “You’re running against Kamala Harris now.” Who the hell is Kamala Harris The black Asian woman who’s kicking your fat, pasty ass
- What’s going on here?! I spent over $100 million running against Biden, and now I’m running against a nobody?! The DNC owes me $100 million! Tell ya what sh*theels. You pay off the tab for your last Montana rally, and then open your fat pie hole
- Did you ever look at Kamala Harris. Come on everybody, you gotta admit I’m a lot better looking than Kamala Harris. A lot better looking! Ummm. Don the Con? What you mostly look like is the sorting hat from the Harry Potter movies. And if she’s that ugly, why did you compare her favorably with Melania?
And that’s just the lame sh*t he could think up based on last week. You gotta know that he’s going to vent his spleen on everybody from Biden to Obama, from Michelle Obama to Bill Clinton to Hillary Clinton. And as he vents his spleen, you know that the networks are only going to show the worst of the worst.
Meanwhile, Harris and Walz have Trump pinned like a botterfly on a cork board. Walz is like the emcee at a retirement party. He has this down home, folksy way of laughingly relating all of Traitor Tot’s criminal activities and political shortcomings before a pregnant pause, followed by a laughing And that doesn’t even include all the sh*t he did as President!, followed by hysterical laughter and applause. Trump must sleep with a boxer’s mouthguard to keep from grinding his molars under the gum line.
And as for Kamala Harris? Fuggedaboudit! She literally owns his ass. Smartly, she almost never indulges in tit-for-tat exchanges, and seldom acknowledges his insults at all. She puts on a professorial tone when she outlines his criminal behavior while relating how, as a DA and state Attorney general she prosecutes those crimes, then gleefully says, Believe me when I say I know Donald Trump’s type! And when she does acknowledge his crudity, When she says, Donald! If you have something to say, then say it to my face!, the word Donald! has the tone of a mother calling her 6 year old while she stands over the shards of a table lamp. This kind of casual, sarcastic disdain for him is kryponite for his already shattered ego.
And if Traitor Tot wasn’t his own worst enemy, he’s taking his Hillbilly Imbecile out on the road with him. Where Beggar Vance will immediately break the cardinal law of a Vice Presidential candidate, by outshining the boss. Vance is such a pathetically empty vessel, so cravenly vapid and self serving, that his stilted speech, nasty habit of stepping on his own applause lines, and laughing like Horshak on Welcome back Kotter every chance he gets, he’s attack ads begging to be written. And if he overshadows his graven Idol this week, look for him to not see daylight again until November 6th.
If the Harris-Walz campaign wants a contrast campaign, they’ll never have a better opportunity than this week. Trump may be a political imbecile, but even he knows that, properly presented, the Democrats are going to get the kind of boost out of this convention that could damn near put the race out of reach by Labor Day the way the trends are going. For eight long years Trump’s only political strategy has been to pander to the base. Which appears to be shrinking based on Trump’s anemic crowd sizes. Don’t touch that dial.
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
It is a privilege & a pleasure to spend my time reading your smart articles.
Murf you’re always a good weather report on cloudy days! We both know Trump’s going to feel like he’s been kidnapped by the Comanches and will be slowly roasted over an open flame over the next few days. I expect squealing that will reverberate across the land. I’d advise the folks in Florida to run to Costco and stock up on ketchup.
Stock up on ketchup and hearing protection!
white Europeans are more famous for torture than native Americans like the Comanches. Comanche torture just happened in the movies. The Spanish inquisition did it in real life. just sayin.
J.D. Vance is already scheduled to be at a high-dollar fundraiser on Thursday evening in Mission Hills, Kansas, a wealthy suburb of Kansas City, MO, beginning at State Line. Prices per couple are $50,000 for 7 sponsors, $25,000 for a Roundtable, $10,000 for photo op, $5,000 to attend. Remember Thomas Frank’s book “What’s the Matter with Kansas?” about 20 years ago where he talked about his home as “the tear-down in Mission Hills?”
old grey…the Comanches were famous even amongst Indian tribes for their fierceness and things done to victims. Sure they weren’t alone in using cruelty but they were the victims of the same by the Mexicans and the soliders that tried to eliminate them. Geronimo had his family, wife, children, and mother butchered by the Mexicans so revenge was clearly in order. He eventually surrendered in 1886 and also converted to Christianity. He rode in Teddy Roosevelt’s inaugural parade.The movies are the movies. History is also written by the conquerors so the fact that US soliders also raped, murdered, and mutilated bodies was swept under the rug. They also were considered the best horsemen of all the Indian tribes in the west. As fierce as the Apache were, the Comanches drove them out of their territory. Their society was complex, another lost fact. All in all, our European ancestors were the land grabbers and who could blame the Native Americans for defending their territory. Ultimately the Plains Indians were done in by diseases they had no immunity for and the eradication of the buffalo. All our legal ownership of this country was stolen from them. So I guess we are really the savages.
A face plant into an ice berg. Wow! Who’d thought Trump could be so competent in his incompetence!
