- 1990. It's not dementia, it's just how he is.

Yeah, I dunno, 4 years at Howard and my guess is she can speak "black."

- Donald Trump in Milwaukee stating that Giannis Antetokounmpo isn't really Greek.

Right, if Trump wins we could see mass protests, even violent or destructive in some places, & Trump has said he wants to use the insurrection act to nationalize local & state police to suppress them. We know he sent in unmarked Bureau of Prisons guards to face off vs protestors in Portland.

There would be 3 months of insane claims about a stolen election (witness the poll workers setting Trump ballots on fire in the break room!) amidst Trump’s sentencing in NYC right in the middle of it.

I don’t get it. Trump’s mother was an immigrant maid who bagged herself a millionaire & he’s a product of that. Today the man rails against immigrants & successful women. Who was more of a prostitute, Trump’s mother or Harris?

Ah the water’s edge. Man’s mother was an illegal alien maid who hooked up with a Manhattan millionaire. His wife was an illegal alien soft core porn ‘model’/escort. He has an affair with a porn star & tries & fails to pay her for sex, then pays her to try to make her to shut up about it. But Harris who dated a separated married man is a prostitute who should be rejected. This is all perfectly linear logic.

YMCA is a regular theme for his appearances, he gets up on stage & “dances” to it like Boris Yeltsin on his 2nd fifth.

This is so purely Maga. Movement obsessed with cross dressers & kids who get sex change operations at school are totally unfazed by their Very Male Leader who wears makeup & surrounds himself with gay anthems fellating a mic in front of thousands & national TV.

A corner prostitute in downtown Peoria has more integrity and class. Trump is unfit for the presidency of the greatest nation that’s ever been.

Buzzfeed should not have published the Steele memos.

I’m using the framing used by Musk & the person he was discussing it with, a forced purposeful austerity program causing a ‘severe reaction’ in the economy. There are very few comps for that.

Ah apologies, I thought you were talking about the austerity discussion. Thanks.

Carlson's family is filled with nutjobbery, despite all the wealth. It makes his earlier pose as a wannabe young Buckley in bowtie particularly hilarious in retrospect.

Somehow I don't think 'Epstein had inside baseball that Trump plays Reality TV mindgames with advisors, nominees and cabinet secretaries' is the October Surprise. The story that Epstein said he had pictures of Trump with topless girls from his haram sounds more like it.

Not in my opinion. Doing the sort of thing Musk is describing is rarely found in history. Maybe a handful of examples.

No I’m not in favor of it. - Fwiw I was talking about dogmatism generally not specifically communism.

Not in my opinion, but in any event my point is it’s a federal not state responsibility. I’m not a Democrat but thank you for the reply.

Epstein Showed Me Photos of Trump with Topless Young Women Sitting in His Lap, Claims Author >>Jeffrey Epstein showed off photos of Donald Trumpwith “topless young women” sitting in his lap, the controversial author Michael Wolff has alleged. The pedophile financier had about half a dozen pictures which showed Trump by the pool with multiple young women, Wolff claimed on his podcast, Fire & Fury, Thursday. They were taken in the “late ’90s” at Epstein’s Palm Beach home, where he victimized dozens of underage girls along with his procurer, Ghislaine Maxwell, Wolff said. Wolff alleged that they were in Epstein’s safe, which the FBI seized when they raided his homes in New York and Palm Beach in July 2019. The massive haul of evidence taken by the feds has never been made public—and while prosecutors disclosed after the raid that they had “hundreds of photos of girls and young women,” they have never offered any more details of them. Wolff said of the photos, “They were with Trump at Epstein’s Palm Beach house sitting around the pool with these young girls, and the young girls are topless. “And in some of the pictures, they’re sitting in his lap. I mean, and, and then there’s one I especially remember where there’s a stain, a telltale stain and on the front of Trump’s pants, and the girls are pointing at him and laughing.” Trump separated from his second wife Marla Maples in 1997 and began dating his third wife, Melania, in 1998. …Wolff described the photos as he revealed details of how Epstein was a key source for him while writing his best-selling book Fire & Fury, which rocked the Trump White House when it was published in 2018. Wolff said he had as much as 100 hours of tapes of Epstein talking about Trump and played a short snippet of one of the tapes in the podcast. He also said he was prompted to speak after allegations this week by a former Miss Switzerland that Trump groped her, “grabbing and touching my body everywhere he could.” Asked by the co-host of the podcast, journalist James Truman, “Where are these pictures?” Wolff suggested they may be among the items taken by the FBI, which worked for Trump’s attorney general, Bill Barr, at the time. “You know, he would go and he would take them out of the safe. And then he would return them to the safe and I would say it’s likely that they would have been there when the FBI, Trump’s FBI at that point, not to put too fine a point on it, raided Epstein’s house and took the contents of the safe in 2019.” In 2017, when Wolff was speaking to Epstein, the pedophile was living as a free man and socializing openly in New York and Florida. The tape appears to have been made in a restaurant. But, said Wolff, he felt that Epstein was at the time living in fear of Trump, whose victory the pedophile had predicted the previous year. “I couldn’t help but feeling that there was a level of personal fear there. So he’s having this conversation with me. And as I say, I’m writing Fire and Fury," Wolff said. "I‘m trying to figure out Donald Trump, but it‘s as confounding to me, of course, as it was to everybody. ’What? Who is this guy? How did this happen?’“ Wolff said Epstein’s level of fear “startled” him, and said, “I’ve spoken to several other people who knew Epstein well and yeah, you know, they make the same point. And I know that Epstein would emphasize how he believed Trump was capable of doing anything. He had no scruples.“ Claims that Epstein had compromising material on the rich and powerful with whom he associated have long swirled, especially since his death in a federal jail cell in August 2019, weeks after his arrest. …<<

This is a nice place.

>>Wolff … said he had around “100 hours of Epstein talking about the inner workings of the Trump White House and about his long standing, deep relationship with Donald Trump.” … Epstein had wanted Wolff to write his biography. <<

>>“His people fight each other,” Epstein tells Wolff on the recording, “and then he [Trump] poisons the well outside.” “He will tell ten people ‘Bannon’s a scumbag’ and ‘Priebus is not doing a good job’ and ‘Kellyanne has a big mouth’—what do you think? Jamie Dimon [CEO of JPMorgan Chase] says that you’re a problem and I shouldn’t keep you. And I spoke to [financier] Carl Icahn. And Carl thinks I need a new spokesperson.” He continues: “So Kelly[anne]—even though I hired Kellyanne’s husband—Kellyanne is just too much of a wildcard. And then he tells Bannon, you know I really want to keep you but Kellyanne hates you.” Epstein is referring to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and former White House senior counselor Kellyanne Conway, whose then-husband, George Conway, was briefly considered for positions in Trump’s Department of Justice. The recording seems to show that Epstein and Trump were close enough for the disgraced sex offender to know how Trump ruled his White House: by dividing and conquering his staff.<<

I’m not against people running for office telling constituencies that their policies will help or even profit them. I don’t think Dems should hand out Popeyes & tea to get people on buses to vote, I’d be fine with prosecuting that even if it’s roughly $100. Trump or Harris promising future benefits from their policies doesn’t offend me in the least.
