“I hope that you will forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse — all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said.

Dear America, Please stop trying to shoot Donald Trump. He's got like 100 years of prison coming up in 2025. If you shoot him you make him a martyr and deny us the long crushing process of justice.

That's a better angle. It really shows the 400 million joyful attendees. Yuge political movement.

For anyone that wants to read. The $0.2T from tariffs is from the government's own propaganda announcements: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/thanks-president-trump-cbp-announces-record-breaking-200-billion

The 2025 $1.9T deficit is the CBO projection: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61172

You guys know that I like to play with AI, so I asked AI what to make of this news channel. The AI told me to delete this meme because it has to be fake because no news channel would ever have aired that chyron nor have said such a ridiculous statement on prime time television.

Guys, this is real. September 4, 2024. The bottom right image was added for relating to the topic.

Insightful interview https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-trumps-rhetoric-compares-to-historic-fascist-language

"I think Trump has been conditioning Americans since 2015 to see violence as something justified in certain cases and even patriotic.

He's been conditioning them to see other Americans as enemies, as diseased, as dirty. And what we have to remember is that authoritarians might initially target one group, and he's been talking mostly about immigrants. But he's also calling the enemy within the political opposition.

[...]

And this is part of an authoritarian projection mechanism. I call it the upside-down world of authoritarianism, where, ever since Mussolini, he was the first to call democrats the real tyrants and fascism was going to be freedom. Fascism was going to make Italy great again. That was a slogan, as was drain the swamp. Trump took that from Mussolini as well."

According to the WHO, in 2020 and 2021 the US recorded more than 930,000 excess deaths, behind India (4.7m), Russia (1.1m) and Indonesia (1m).

I am old enough to remember one of these two people fighting tooth and nail to provide loan relief for students, and the other working as hard as possible to prevent it. One of them raised the min wage his first month in office and increased healthcare budgets, the other spent the start of his term raising taxes on workers and taking healthcare away.

But sure, they are all the same. If you don't count their policies nor their results.

He clarified that he does love his wife, despite her not being white.

It's amazing how he finds ways to create a bigger hole for himself out of softball questions raised by friendly media outlets. Imagine the stuff he would say if he sat for interviews with real journalists trying to press him on the wacko stuff he's said and his unpopular policy positions as a candidate.

Trump is such a clown that when he speaks the internet is left talking about how he sounds like an angry idiot toddler. But he ends up getting a pass on his asinine policies because we are too busy talking about the insane stuff like "eating dogs" and him choosing to be Putin's bitch.

Let's not forget that his vision for "the economy" is also BS. His policy ideas are all bankrupt. The health care plan is not coming in 2 weeks. His administration inflicted on America's budget the most insane deficit and debt of any single presidential term: https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump

His ideas on tariffs are insane and debunked by serious economists. The whole thing is bananas. His plan for tariffs would hurt American workers. And in typical GOP fashion, the pain hits harder on the working class.

For anyone that wants to read a real economics analysis, here is a detailed study from the Peterson Institute for International Economics,

Why Trump’s Tariff Proposals Would Harm Working Americans

JD Vance said he was able to cure himself of couch chlamydia using a home remedy he invented that involved tree sap and some indian spices he found in his wife's kitchen spice rack.

When he was then spotted showing couch chlamydia symptoms, he claimed that he got reinfected a second time, but this time it was from Democrat secret agents that infected him for political persecution.

I wanted to say that although I think the mods closed the Gaza thread, I am thankful that people joined in to have these serious conversations. Because no matter what your perspective is, I read every comment and I feel that everyone that commented there cares about trying to find solutions and figuring out how to do the right thing even when it's hard.

For democracy to work we have to talk to each other, even when it's uncomfortable. Thank you for caring and doing your part. I don't know how to fix all our problems, but I do know that we have this democracy to let us decide together. And the more we talk the closer we can get to real answers somehow. Have a great day.

It's Trump. Here is another angle https://news.sky.com/story/laura-loomer-the-far-right-conspiracy-theorist-seen-with-donald-trump-13214428

It seems the lighting was bad in that room and the media were a bit far back, because most of the shots I see online are low quality and zoomed in.

News reports confirm the images

"If I'm being generous, that looks like 10 rows of 10 seats across on each side," reported a tech correspondent Chris O'Brien. "So about a total of 200 people potentially?"

As stupid as that sounds for him, what's even worse for me is that he is trying to make the case that all immigration in America is essentially criminals and insane asylum monsters. Even when he knows full well he himself married several immigrants, he comes from immigrant families, his kids have immigrant mothers, and so on.

He's trying to tell a nation built by immigrants that immigrants are all criminals and monsters.
