We did have a good moment on CNN this week, where the sanewashing and propping up of Donald Trump’s openly incoherent fascism didn’t take place, for one brief shining moment. Maybe that’s a sign of changing times. Let’s see how the mainstream media reports on this mess today. Trump appeared at a town hall in Fayetteville, North Carolina and no, the GOP candidate for governor was not with him. That’s a first. And why is that? Because Mark Robinson is so toxic as to be radioactive. And you know you have to have crossed some very wild line of demarcation if you’re too radical and toxic for Donald Trump. The bronzer is on extra thick tonight. Somebody made the crack that Trump is trying to look like Michael Jackson. Here we go.
after vowing to restore Confederate names to military bases, Trump lies about the government giving money to migrants and hence not having funds for disaster relief pic.twitter.com/9sV3aczrEb

This is an ugly lie and his son Eric is amplifying it on Fox News. Eric says that “illegal migrants are in luxury hotels,” while hurricane victims go homeless. Ridiculous, but I guess somebody believes it. It wouldn’t hurt the Biden/Harris administration to do some ads on the massive hurricane relief effort which is in effect in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Always better to be safe than sorry in this era of non stop lying by Trump and MAGA.
Q: How soon will you start deporting the murderers?
TRUMP: Many of these people murdered more than one person … ooh, the chart.. Do you have something up here that could show? pic.twitter.com/ToULLgQL4b

Let’s definitely see the Murderer’s Chart. That we must take a look at. And here’s the headline I promised you. There it is. Trump now has the winning formula right there in his pocket. Too bad the entire electorate doesn’t consist of Confederate rednecks, the Bibles, bullets and beans crowd.
Trump on world leaders: "They think I was crazy, and that's a good thing to think." pic.twitter.com/stQEpPQIkg

Absolutely. It’s a wonderful thing if the titular leader of the free world is thought to be out of his mind. That’s a positive. Even Melania was touting that to Sean Hannity yesterday, “They feeered his strennnth. He governed with peeese through strennnth.” If you haven’t heard the latest on Melania, she asked CNN to give her $250,000, that’s right, one quarter of a million dollars, for CNN to interview her about her own book. Do you love it? She wants a berth on CNN to pimp her book — AND — they’re supposed to give her a quarter of a million bucks to boot.
That little scandal flamed up so fast that Melania’s staff had to deny it, but it’s a little difficult to call the entire legal department at CNN a bunch of fibbers. Nevertheless, that was the lay of that shot, when last I looked. Back to Melania’s better half, which is true only in the figure of speech sense. Anthony Scaramucci told the Daily News that Melania hates Donald and I believe that.
Anna Paulina Luna accuses the media at the Trump event of not helping hurricane victims because they live in red areas, castigating them to "do your job and do better." Trump then pivots to praising Elon Musk, but he has a hard time remembering "Starlink." pic.twitter.com/ubVAHiv7Sc

Starlink, starlight, Starburst, some damn thing. He’ll get it right, just give him a moment.
the last question Trump takes is from a Space Force veteran who says he was fired for criticizing DEI trainings. Trump tells the guy he will put him on a task force to root out DEI in the military. pic.twitter.com/U4n9HVmr8p

This veteran was discharged for being on a podcast and accusing his coworkers of being Marxists. The military frowns on such things. But naturally, in true form, Trump finds some misanthrope who acts out inappropriately and offers him a gig. One might recall Tina Peters, who got sentenced to nine years in prison yesterday for allowing people access to the voting equipment that she was duty bound to safeguard.

I’m surprised Trump didn’t have a Confederate flag up there on stage so he could go over and hug it. How could such a thing be omitted? Trump goes tomorrow to Butler, Pennsylvania. That’s not surprising. Trump has been trying to turn the Butler dust up into the equivalent of Ronald Reagan’s assassination attempt, somehow believing that there is a direct causal connection between Reagan being shot and then carrying 49 states in the election.
That very thing was spoken of in Trump world the day of the assassination attempt. It was predicted, “He’s gonna win 49 states after this.” And Trump has reposted his Fight! Fight! Fight! video so many times that I’ve lost count. So tomorrow, he returns to the scene of the crime, as it were, and he’s going to attempt to persuade Pennsylvania voters to give him their votes out of sympathy. Or something. Here’s his latest grift, not to be confused with the shot glass which has the bullet hanging out of the side of it.

What’s that you say? Do the Secret Service agents get any payment for their images being used to sell this garbage? Interesting legal question. I have no idea. What’s one more lawsuit, eh what?






















The grift.
And fear of ‘others’.
That’s his whole campaign.
And cheating. That’s why he didn’t tell the audience what the magic formula is, because it’s illegal. And, if you had cheated so blatantly and offensively to stay in power and were facing as many charges as he is, wouldn’t you do it again if you thought it would get you out from under? Of course you would. So will he.
Is it a Public Service Announcement or pure coincidence that RSBN split the screen of their coverage of Trump with an ad for Invermectin Emergency Contagion Kits? For a friend
Can’t help noticing that the agents in the sculpture are all male. There was a woman agent in that contingent who, like all females in trumpworld, is consigned to irrelevancy.
The female agent is the one up front grasping trump’s torso so it looks more like he’s protecting her ,non-ironically,as he is “the protector of all women.”
They got her ponytail on her head in that thing. It’s most certainly NOT art, so I don’t know what to call it.
Call it propaganda…a tried and true tool of nazis.
Just like you pull the measuring stick out of your engine to see how much oil is there…this election will be THE measuring stick for the level of depravity and moronic belief systems of our country.
great article you wrote! cracked me up at the end!! God knows the secret service could use more budget money.
