Oh, how sharper than a serpent’s tooth is an ungrateful network. I’m sure you recall when the bromance between Donald Trump and the Murdochs began to cool and Trump raged at how he “made” Fox News. Well, consider another nail has just been driven into that particular coffin because a visibly dispirited and disheveled Trump just boarded his plane again (sans Melania, as always) and before he did he pumped this out into cyberspace. Maybe it’s going to be another 40-50 rage-post festival today.
Trump’s endorsed MAGA candidates.

You see the causal connection between poor Donald’s low spirits and his endorsed candidate’s low polling. And that, coupled with the fact that J.D. Vance bombed in Boston today and he’s got to go back to Michigan, again, and try to turn things around has him understandably bummed. Harris leads by two points in Michigan, according to the latest poll, but curiously 24% of those polled say they are undecided. So Trump is hopping on a plane to drone on monotonously to see if he can persuade those voters.
I find it incredibly odd that anybody could be undecided at this point in this election. I know not everybody is a political junquie but anybody who lived through the Trump years surely does not want to go back there unless they’re a pure MAGA and that’s not undecided.
In all events, Trump will be speaking in Michigan in a few hours and I fully expect it to be his usual bored, detached, tired Catskills comic routine. Maybe he’ll surprise us by urinating on stage, which is the only thing he hasn’t done that is boorish and shocking. He’s covered all the other bases, but he hasn’t relieved himself publicly, which would not surprise me.
He thinks nothing of doing that very thing when he plays golf, by the way. There was a video a few years ago of Trump whipping it out and watering the grass while out on the green at Mar-a-Lago. Granted, he was in a group of all guys, but I still find it tacky. But it’s perfectly in character because he’s the top dog of his own golf course and as such he can act like a dog when he chooses.
Now this just got posted and I find it utterly hilarious.
They’ve pretty much given up on trying to get women to vote for Trump. Now they got to rely on chuds putting the gamer control down and some pants on and dragging their asses out of mom’s basement to the polls pic.twitter.com/ASfxoM9hE1

I’ll tell you what I find comical here, is that Charlie Kirk is saying that a woman is intrinsically more organized, more responsible, and more capable than say a guy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I concur. That’s the best argument I’ve heard to vote for Harris, yet. Maybe the Harris/Walz campaign can co-opt this into an ad. But I think Kirk’s got the demographics wrong.
My assessment of the 24% “undecideds” that we spoke of earlier is that they’re disgusted Republicans who will probably sit the election out. I spoke with a registered Republican just last week, a professional man that I do business with, and he said he was thinking of sitting the election out. We don’t talk about politics that much but he knows that I have this blog and am passionately engaged in this quest that we’re on here. The last time I spoke with him he was incensed at the GOP for not handling things right. This time he was beyond incensed to simply resigned.
I have a feeling that a lot of Republicans have the same sentiment. Trump tries to do a bothsider riff, comparing the schism in the GOP and the Never Trumpers with the Democrats who “pulled a coup” and toppled Joe Biden, but that’s not even close to being accurate. During those awful days between June 27 and July 21 when Biden made his announcement, a great many Democrats stood with Biden. And when it was his decision to step down, we stood with his decision and threw our support wholeheartedly behind Harris.
The Never Trumpers, on the other hand, folded their tents long ago and left the party. They have actively tried to keep Trump out of office. The Lincoln Project formed in order to support Joe Biden and now they’re actively supporting Kamala Harris. Point being, Trump’s support is splintered at this point and every single day that goes on in the countdown to this election proves more and more that Team Trump knows it is losing and is flailing as it tries to figure out a way to self correct.
We just need to get out the vote. A high turnout = a Harris/Walz landslide. Won’t that be a great thing to see? Let’s make it happen.
If Don-old whips it out to urinate on stage, it will prove Stormy Daniels correct.
He’ll have to find it under that gut and in his diaper first.
Your “… I find it incredibly odd that anybody could be undecided at this point in this election …” Even across the seas, non-Americans, even if they are not allowed to vote, are not undecided on who’d they would vote for, for example “If Australians could vote for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump, the result would be a landslide, says survey” See:

I have never been undecided when it comes to DonOld tRump: I’m a classic “never trump-er”, and I am English and live in England. I loathe him with a passion, always have, always will. Our countries have both made huge mistakes (the UK with Brexit – we’re paying the price; who knows if we’ll ever recover?), but hopefully we won’t make the same one twice (we finally booted the conservatives out, and now we’re trying to mend our broken country). I sincerely hope the US won’t make the same mistake again by letting him back into the White House. Please do all you can to fight this, and win!!!
THERE’S THE ANSWER, AMERICA! Follow the UK’s lead and kick the conservatives to the curb.
Back when I first heard of him, during the time when Art of the Deal came out I saw him a bit on TV and my reaction was “smug, spoiled rich asshole.” I could see back then how some women might have found him handsome because when he wanted to he could turn on a bit of charm but I still could sum him up in a single word. Asshole. The more I learned, his “art” was lie, cheat and screw over (by not paying) all the small business contractors because they knew with the weight of his daddy’s business behind him they’d spend more on lawyers than what Trump had cost them. At least some of them were able to get part of what they’d been paid. He did it to banks/lenders too. And when THEY sued him he counter-sued. Many found it easier to settle and try to leverage a bigger loan where he’d pay more interest rather than fight it out.
He’s been a scam artist his entire life. If we’re lucky we’ll see him pay the price he so richly deserves which is prison.
“To put undecided voters in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. ‘Can I interest you in the chicken or would you prefer the platter of sh*t with bits of broken glass in it?’
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.”— Humorist David Sedaris in 2008.
The best comparison for any election involving Donald Trump.
