Trump intensifies nativist message with sweeping proposal to deport migrants

Republican nominee holds rally in Aurora, Colorado and exploits swirl of local rumors to push anti-immigrant plan

Tldr?

More fear mongering and a chilling future under the forthcoming second Trump administration.

Which sounds, admittedly, like fear mongering but at this stage... my optimism over a KH win has died.

Trump campaign requests military protection, fearing ‘Iran threat’

There is no evidence that Iran was behind the two assassination attempts against the former president.

www.aljazeera.com

Donald Trump’s campaign has requested the use of military aircraft to protect the former president in the final weeks of the election race — an unprecedented demand for a candidate in the United States.

The extraordinary request, which also included expanded flight restrictions over Trump’s residences and rallies and an array of military vehicles to shuttle him around, comes as many in Trump’s orbit have become convinced, without evidence, that Iran may have been behind two recent assassination attempts against the former president, The New York Times and Washington Post reported on Friday.

No presidential nominee in recent history has flown in military planes while campaigning before an election. Kamala Harris receives military protection and flies on Air Force Two, a military plane, because she is the sitting vice president.

I got booted off the voter rolls and had to re-enroll. I've been splitting my time between two addresses and was hoping to vote in Omaha/Lincoln area's district, which sometimes flips for the Dems. I ended up registering in a county that is so solidly red, there's no real point in going to the polls. My only satisfaction is cancelling out one Trump voter.

It's certainly part of it. It's also an old Democratic stronghold, which succumbed to the GOP economic policies that created the rustbelt.

Harris vs. Trump analyst tells panicky Dems: GOP is creating fake polls | ‘Desperate, unhinged, Trumpian’

Republicans did this in 2022

www.nj.com

As polls seem to indicate that former president Donald Trump has momentum in some swing states with 24 days remaining until the Nov. 5 presidential election, Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg says: Don’t buy it.

About a month ago, Rosenberg predicted that a slew of polls by Republican organizations would flood the zone, showing Trump leading — and, like clockwork, it has happened.

The purpose is two-fold, Rosenberg said: To excite Trump’s base and discourage Vice President Kamala Harris’ supporters, while also providing Trump with ammunition to say the election was rigged if he loses.

In a tweet thread, Rosenberg explained:

“Of last 15 general election polls released in PA, 12 have right/GOP affiliations. Their campaign to game the polling averages and make it appear like Trump is winning — when he isn’t — escalated in last few days.

“I urge journalists and researchers to dive into FiveThirtyEight and see how the red wave pollsters have flooded the zone again. MT, PA, NC were initial targets but now it’s all 7 battleground states.

“This 2024 red wave op is much larger and involves many more actors and polls than the red wave campaign in 2022. It also involves new players — Polymarket, Elon — and feels far more desperate, frenetic, unhinged. Trumpian.”

Known racist makes racist remark, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!! His racism seems to be one of the few things about him that's actually genuine. Pretty much every other opinion he has is regurgitating what the last sycophant told him was a good thing to say. But he seems to have been genuinely racist since day one, it's all him.

That's from February, Trump was speaking at the Black Conservative Federation Gala and was talking about Obama in reference to a supposed better deal he got on a new Air Force One or whatever - not sure why an old clip is apparently being presented as a new one on social media by the Harris campaign when Trump is delivering fresher racist shit on a daily basis, though it does seem like he was better at stringing a sentence together then

I mean, of all the clips they could have used to highlight Trump's racism, it's a weird choice to pick one in which a Black audience cheers after he asks whether they prefer him to Obama

Who cares though? Not his supporters.

He could have dropped his trousers and exuded a massive orange turd on stage and they'd still be hootin' an' hollerin' and saying he's making America great again by showing Harris what he thinks of her.

I thought this was a reasonable response rather than providing Trump with continuous PR opportunities for being filmed being paraded with a military escort.
