Over a weeklong stretch, the former president went on increasing bizarre tangents, repeated racist lies, and called the insurrection "a day of love."

    He was literally talking to the crowd about another man’s gigantic penis.

    I wish I was making this up.

        Arnold had a big dick. Kamala Harris is shit. Crowd, chant with me. Aren’t you tired of her?

        That’s literally the train of thought.

          It’s a good thing nobody is suspecting he is suffering from cognitive decline or dementia, because this could make such suspicions worse. 😋

    Dear higher power:

    Please cause this guy to profoundly lose the election so there is absolutely no further attention given and the media networks can finally lay off the stories because all issues have become moot.

      Not just the right. Every major news outlet would be running it front and center. The media is owned by oligarchs who largely favor Republicans and constantly distort reality

        It’s not just the oligarchs - a lot of editors, etc really want TRUMP SPECIFICALLY to win because it’s super easy to write stories and headlines about a man who creates wild headlines every time he gets on a stage or meets with anyone. Biden and Harris aren’t as exciting, and you have to do things like actual journalism.

      And black people, Jewish people, Native Americans, Asian people, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities, and when they finish those ones, Italians, Irish, gypsies, and then eventually themselves because fascists need people to fear and kill or the system runs out of steam.

    Does anyone think he actually doesn’t want to be president again, but knows he can’t admit that and is doing these things in an effort to lose?

      No, his dementia has just advanced to the point where he’s sundowning publicly

        IDK but I think sundowning is a specific behaviour, wandering off at sun set, something dementia patients often do.

      I think it’s simply dawning on him that he’s going to lose, and he’s fucked.

      There’s a real possibility he’s going to lose attention by everyone and go to jail.

      And thank fuck. So tired of having to tell others how shit he is on a daily basis. He is the entire news cycle because he fucks up on a daily basis. It’s like watching an angry village idiot (except the village idiot would have been detained by now)

      No, he desperately needs to be president.

      If he’s not president in 6 months he will be in jail, forgotten, and irrelevant. It’s all or nothing.

      He’s just under a lot of stress, and old, and scared.

      He’s not taken the lead. Several right wing leaning polls have flooded the zone skewing the lean. This is not done by accident. Fuck 'em VOTE

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
