TikTok commenters weren’t kind last night during Donny’s weird slurry interview.

I listened to some of it today. Trump really does sound like some old rambling codger on a park bench.

To hear you tell it, the few hundred imbiciles were justified in doing what they did on Jan 6 because a few libbies voiced disapproval over Donny's victory in 2016. And I dare you to state otherwise.

As for Pelosi, as Speaker, she gets to do what she wished from the Speaker's chair. But I, again, dare you to find any statement from her saying Donny was an illegitimate President.


You haven’t read my posts on the subject, obviously! I would have been happy if EVERYONE who stormed the Capitol on 1/6 was shot dead.

As far as Pelosi, I’m guessing you are aware of the phrase, “actions speak louder than words”?

I agree with this June assessment. Not yet like Biden. But a year later can make a big difference with someone this old. I bolded that one line below.

Quote:
Trump's schedule is much lighter, with more time between public appearances, and when he does address supporters, he often descends into long, disjointed, stream-of-consciousness tirades.

"He's giving off the old, drunken uncle vibe at times when he is giving these speeches, and this might be a sign of age, that you become less able to control all of your impulses," Foster said.

"And for somebody who's already so impulsive, this could go into unforeseen territory."

At a campaign event in Las Vegas on Sunday, the fiery Trump launched into a mind-boggling diatribe that ping-ponged from shark attacks to electric batteries to electrocutions — earning a chortle from Democrats.

A vote for Trump really is for JD Vance.

It's gonna be a blue wave
Trump is destroying the party :-)
He's driven common sense Republicans soopoo/drich away and the tanko/eb/AZ are applauding this smaller tent
Will the Republican party recover, distance themselves from the religious nuts that are against abortion and the will of the people
Will it distance itself from racists
Will it a party of small govt, low taxes and freedom
Or will it be a party that embraces racism and anti choice
The blue Roevember wave is coming. Trump wrecked the party. Roevember will do the rest

For as long as I have been alive, the GOP has ALWAYS been a party of racist religious nuts that are against abortion. The moderate wing of the Republican party died forever when Charlie Baker stepped down as Governor of MA.

I agree wit the question though. If Kamala wins in November, will there be a MAGA candidate in 2028? Will Donny try and run again in 2028? If so, will the party surrender to him then, too?

A vote for Donny is a vote for a deranged, incoherent man. As long as he draws breath, he will control the levers of power. That being said, JD's presence on the ticket is reason enough to avoid the GOP ticket.

I urge everyone to check out RFK jr's election page. Sure, he's not going to win, but he is at least talking about the issues, even economic policy, something the other two parties ignore.

My hope is he starts a groundswell in getting rid of these two tired old parties, that are only responsive to big money and power.
