With regard to former Sec. of Defense Mark Esper’s chilling account that then-President Trump wanted troops confronting protestors in Lafayette Park to “shoot them in the legs”, I’d love to hear someone ask the follow up question whether Trump understood that people would fall & get hit in torso.

Also not everything is "dementia." A bad speaker getting worse and only being able to work like 6 hours a day isn't necessarily dementia. It's being old as hell and losing a step, which is maybe reason enough to dump him, but it's not necessarily dementia. Dementia is fucking brutal and specific.

"Trump can say seven outrageous things on a Saturday, and by Monday people have forgotten about them. That’s the problem with Trump... he's a firehose of bullshit... as a result, he’s held to a completely different standard than Biden." -- Charlie Sykes

I think Biden’s advisers are telling him not to get too personal in attacking Trump. That’s my impression anyway. If that’s correct, I think he’s making a serious mistake. He needs to make this election so personal that every single goddamned voter understands the stakes.

I gotta say that people are having a lot of trouble distinguishing cognitive decline (Trump) from age-related changes in expression (Biden). Biden is elderly and talks like it. Trump literally does not have preserved reality-testing

The GOP’s nominee to run the 9th most populous state just called for killing people who disagree with the far-right and that sentiment was echoed by the head of Heritage and the man behind Project 2025. But like 90% of all political news is about Democratic hand-wringing over Biden’s debate flop.

The qualities of the candidate often do not fucking matter if the people who really want that candidate to get elected are willing to play hardball, especially if the candidate is an incumbent. Maybe, just this once, we could learn this lesson from the GOP to save ourselves from true horror.

We’ve all watched the GOP drag rapists, criminals, florid wackos, and brain-dead white supremacists to electoral victory over and over again. Perhaps the Democrats can summon up some of that energy to save our democracy and our lives.

I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.

To be clear, this bill is nonsense, and he is straight-up calling for the murder of every Democrat in Congress. It is already illegal, as a matter of federal law, for non-citizens to vote in federal elections. This doesn't change that. What it does is a national ID mandate for voter registration.

Stephanopoulos asked him about his approval rating and campaign strategy. What are we doing here? This is why the Biden people thinks the press sucks. Imagine if they asked him *what* his administration did in the past month.

The DC press likes easy scandals and horse race coverage. They will be on this for awhile. If they were actually interested in policy or whatever we’d be in a very different place.

Years before this ruling, that was the defense trotted out by the Calm Down types: they didn’t do it! Too many people said no, I won’t commit crimes for you, Trump. They fail to realize there were multiple who were willing! If he’s reelected how many Jeff Clark’s do you wanna risk him appointing

As always, I beg of all of you to read posts made to Trump's account as campaign communications and not individual rantings. This is the campaign telling the Project 2025 assholes not to screw up Trump's chances of winning.

Harris a) likely can’t actually run at this point in most states and b) loses literally all the war chest and infrastructure that is currently the Dems dominant advantage. So… there literally is maybe one person who might be able to be a stronger candidate but it’s someone they don’t want.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.
