As
And in other developments, the "Mooch" picked a bad time to come out against racism:
Even the Mooch has some shit he will not eat.
Not so Smelly Anne.
Trump's Riefenstahl stands beside him.
Now that we know the "send her back" thing was rehearsed during the warm-up act (another Trump, of course), the Dumpster's disavowal rings even more hollow than it would have ordinarily.
The Orangident must be channeling his inner weaselly Gardner now ???
Hey, "President" Trump
This is what fascism looks like. Pretty ugly, isn't it?
Trump is going to leave a permanent scar on the nation. He has lowered us.
yes, the scar is permanent, the damage irrepairable. Hate is now the national anthem for 40 percent of America.
Sadly, this is true. And pos45 just called the chanters "incredible patriots." So here we are, echoes of 1938 Germany
That's absolutely right, bs. Trump has indeed lowered us significantly.
What's more horrifying for me is how lowered we had to be in order to get Trump in the first place. The way the Overton window has changed during the past couple of decades have been downright shocking. As a result, the federal government has become full-on fascist.
There'll be some tweaks to American fascism here and there. Hell, Trump might even find a way to lose the White House in 2020. He is, after all, quite stupid. But the fascism is too deeply ingrained at this point. The United States as originally conceived is over.
I'm kinda old and in pretty poor health, so my "strategy" is clear and idiot-proof, though not what anyone would call satisfying: die before things get too horrific. In the meantime, I'll use whatever time I have left to slow the inexorable march of fascism here in my beloved adopted state.
In remember when Republicans were not actual, literal Nazis news:

Things have gone mighty goddamn far off the rails when one is tempted to look back on 1981-1989 as the "good ol' days."
Gotta admit the die before things get worse strategy is one I can't avoid. But over my life of 74 years Ive seen tremendous progress. Homosexual acts were crimes in all 50 states as recently as 1965! Today, gays have the right to marry and, at least in some states, the right not to be fired.
Blacks my age were born into legal segregation. I lived to see a mixed race president.
I also lived to see a woman presidential candidate get three million more votes than a fascist psychopath. OKay, that story isn't finished yet. But maybe Elizabeth, Kamala or Amy can finish the job.
I lived long enough to see at least a jury rigged national health care system in place with my party feuding only over how to make it better.
Only the designated hitter rule remains as a source of national dishonor. But even there, we have the glory of living in a national league city.
Don't give up hope, beloved genghis.
The old guard dies, but never surrenders!
And when president Harris and vice president Buttagieg offer a prayer of thanks on our graves, we will know our struggle was not in vain!
I admire the optimism, V. The hope ship done sailed for me a long time ago, but generalized disapprobation coupled with focused anger provide more than sufficient incentive to keep trundling on. 🙂
I really don't believe this was "damage control mode." He just briefly hit pause, and lied about what actually happened at his rally (he lies about everything, remember). He flipflops from one statement to another, contradicting reality all along the way, just to keep opponents and the press off balance.
All that opponents and the press need to do is to directly – to his face – call him out on every lie, and every racist, cruel, authoritarian action. Every single one.
Tomorrow is a new day in Donald's authoritarianland! He'll be back to his same old bigoted playbook.
Yup, as I said would happen – today Trump is back to making a full-throated defense of his fans who engaged in racist chants at his rally.
Winmer, winner…chicken dinner!
Good call.

“The danger here—besides the obvious repulsiveness of the chant itself—is that this accelerating culture of political transgression is like a ratchet that can only turn one way. For a critical mass of conservatives, it is a sign that a given act is actually praiseworthy and brave if it draws condemnation from the despised left-wing media. “Send her back” is a chant that might make some cringe today—but once it’s been digested by the media cycle and the battle lines drawn, and it’s been repeated at rally after rally, it will become, in the minds of Trump’s fans, just another handy weapon for triggering the pearl-clutching libs.
At which point it will be stale. And they’ll need a new, more baldly indefensible, transgression. And so on, and on, and on.”
