Donald Trump - MAGAtwat news and discussion

It might reinforce the idea that Dems and Republicans are the same though.

for whom would that be reinforced? nobody's not going to vote for harris becuase of this gambit.

And I think among some Republicans their support is more about Trump himself than the party.

yes, but they're not the ones that cheney (and kinziger and the Republican For Harris group et al.) are after.
 
Entertainers often buy their own generic cover, which includes a public liability element.
What is the look-alikes agency is their only entertainment-related income? Perhaps they have an ordinary job and no particular entertainment skills beyond looking like, e.g. Barry Manilow. In which case the public liability insurance might be too expensive, and they would benefit from a zero-hours contract with an agency who provided that sort of cover.
 

at least he was getting into the spirit of the thing :D

The only small plus was that he had to take off his oversized bigly jacket, designed specifically to hide a multitude of blubbery vanity sins. Petty? You betcha.

The beyond pathetic thing about this stunt though is that he only did it in order to continue his lie that Harris never worked at McDs.

Imagine that, election 2 weeks away and this is what keeps him up at night and what he thinks is a good use of his time? The insanity of it all.

I’ll give you this: there is nothing actually stopping that from happening, other than the fact it would be an inefficient thing to do (since you’d need to have all the hassle of payroll and HR processes etc, which would cost you more than the profit you’d make on the bookings). So given that it isn’t impossible, I’ll accept that there is an edge case that could theoretically produce $7.5m turnover from more than 500 employees.
 
I have a bad bad feeling about the election. When Kamala Harris clearly rolled over him in the debate, I thought this is good, it might sway some voters.

But just following the recent chatter... it's very worrying.


Anyone outside MAGA world saw that Harris wiped the floor with him.

Through Trumpist eyes, she's an uppity Brown woman, who's already had her turn in power, failed, and is now being used by the commies to give Trump a hard time. She was coached, she had earphones, she wasn't fact checked, and she deliberately kept him off topic.

That debate made them.dig in harder, deeper.

All the Facebook stuff I look.at (that's where a lot of these people hang out) suddenly jumped up a notch with the memes and hateful rhetoric in the days following the debate. More activity, and stronger support.

I don't doubt that some/many of the memes are generated by far right influencers. I can't see how the largely tech-ignorant and basic straight ahead humour of those who are reposting created them.
 
This is interesting - a NYT journo, Michael Gold, who reported accurately and truthfully on trump's comments re Arnold Palmer, had his piece edited by senior editors at the NYT to exclude them and instead referred to them in the published piece as benign 'Arnold Palmer golf stories'.

Fucking media. They are largely to blame for him being anywhere near power, which they admitted to previously, and are now doing the same thing they were guilty of when he got in before. Bastards.
 
Declaration of Independence actually a mistake?

All the tories at my work hate trump apart from the Tate-loving idiots. My stuffy middle England Tory voting telegraph reading boss despises him Ina genuine sense. But all of these subtle voices never seem to get heard these days, the narrative always has optics of the grotesque. I don’t really understand where the “grey area” has disappeared to when it comes to understanding the political landscape anymore.
 
Born-again MAGA grifter and mysoginistic justice-dodger states the bleeding obvious. (The same being true of every day…) Brand and his new bosom buddy Peterson prove daily evidence of the bottomless gullibility of the rightist base.

I wish the grifting sex pest would just fuck off and shut the fuck up. Too many suckers to grift off though, ready to pile in if/when he gets his collar felt. Priming the rubes to jump to his defence when the shit hits the fan. His latest scam is selling magic amulets, taking his cue from the tangerine tyrant in selling tat to idiots. As a born again Christian (yeah right :rolleyes: ), I would have thought this went against his new-found beliefs. What a vile bastard he is.

 

Tldr?

Trump woos the Christofascist vote, ''God" saved him for a reason, something about Israel and the inevitable and disgusting hate against trans people is amplified.

My wild hyperbolic prediction? Judgement day is coming on November 5th.

“Trump also railed against inclusion and gender-affirming healthcare for trans people, vowing to “take historic action to defeat the toxic poison of gender ideology and reaffirm that God created two genders: male and female”.“

There was a time, before Trump stuffed the Supreme Court with Christian fundamentalist fascists, that it was against the constitution to force a religious world view on the population through law. Alas…
 
Some good news, the racist liar is being sued


With Election Day two weeks away, the group accused the former president of making “false and defamatory statements” about them during last month's presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. The group is asking for a jury trial to determine compensatory and punitive damages.


“Defendant Trump falsely stated that plaintiffs killed an individual and pled guilty to the crime. These statements are demonstrably false,” the group wrote in the federal complaint.


He doesnt know when to keep his gob shut. I hope they take him for billions.

He's incapable of keeping that shithole on his face shut. He 's uncontrollable, which is probably why events have been cancelled, along with of course his mental and physical breakdown before our eyes.
 
At least someone is paying attention to trump's obvious physical and mental decline - it's a good read:

At a town hall-style forum in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Trump seemed to have no recollection of meeting with a severely injured veteran and his family. The veteran’s wife noted that “you visited with him many times” and “you just saw him this summer.”

Trump has also confused Republican rival Nikki Haley with former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He confused the location of a major military base. He mistakenly said that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán led Turkey.

During a meandering news conference riddled with false and misleading statements in August, Trump recalled riding as a passenger in the chopper with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown when it was forced to make an emergency landing. Brown later said he had never shared a helicopter with Trump. Instead, it was likely a Los Angeles city councilman, who is also Black, who shared a rocky helicopter ride with Trump decades earlier.

And more recently, at a rally in Wisconsin, he seemed to squint at teleprompters as he lurched from subject to subject. He described the country as a “third-world hellhole.” He then told his audience, “Remember, there’s a hat that’s made that sells like crazy,” before interrupting himself to comment on a fly.

“Oh there’s a fly, I wonder where the fly came from. See, two years ago, I wouldn’t have had a fly up here. You’re changing rapidly,” Trump said.

He has begun boasting about his “beautiful body” and describes his often long-winded speeches as “flawless.”

One thing I've noticed amongst a selection of his "Christian" supporters is that they excuse all his misdeeds by saying stuff along the lines of - "Trump must be chosen/protected by God because all he's done would mean the end for any other mortal not in God's favour" - So that's OK then - they don't care! :mad:
 
You know who else looks favourably upon such behaviour? Satan, that's who. If there is an immortal astral entity looking out for him, it's certainly more likely to be of infernal rather than divine origin.
 
Guardian piece on how the Harris 'threat to democracy' line isn't playing well with voters and how she needs to talk about working class needs. Sounds about right, though my version would be that the Dems should have done the groundwork to build a relationship with working class voters a long time ago. Only with that in place, should she move on to trump's threat to democracy. It feels a bit like Hilary, all over again.

Having said that, I'm slightly surprised the 'threat to democracy' line is playing so badly. Maybe voters have heard it all before and don't have any faith in their politicians full stop. That's healthy in itself, though trump has shaped that into a right wing populism where people just don't care about truth any more. It's just about loyalty to the leader and who can tell the most persuasive lies that somehow mesh with voters experiences of how shit life is. He doesn't have to con all the people all the time, just get enough working class voters in Pennsylvania to join traditional Republican voters. :(

 
Not all heroes wear capes

Donald Trump’s ground game in Arizona and Nevada may be undercut by canvassers working for America Pac using GPS spoofing to pretend they have knocked on doors when they haven’t, according to multiple people familiar with the practice and a leaked how-to-fake-location video.

The ramifications for Trump may be far reaching, given America Pac has taken on the bulk of the Trump campaign’s ground game in the battleground states, and the election increasingly appears set to be decided by turnout.

A bootleg how-to-spoof video, made by an America Pac canvasser in Nevada and obtained by the Guardian, shows the apparent ease with which locations can be changed to fake door-knocks, calling into question how many Trump voters have actually been reached by the field operation

....Musk has so far donated $75m to America Pac in the three months of its existence. Roughly $30m has been spent on the ground-game operation to drive the Trump vote


 
I'm sceptical about the 'get the voters out' canvassing they seem to spend so much time and effort on actually making any measurable difference.
Its like they just go into panic mode in the last few weeks ...shit we might lose/win...wtf can we do...shit...feck...arse...heres some money do some shit!!!
