Trump enters the stage

Here, in the UK, every-day crimes like muggings, attempted break-ins on vans and properties, residential break-ins and robberies, stalkings etc. -of which there are 100s in total, daily- haven’t been given case numbers for well over a year or more.

“Up up with education, down down with deportation!” they sing…

.
…does that include those who commit crimes, I wonder? :thinking:

Oh yes, because it is the political right that goes all rioting looting and mass mobs destroying their own cities when they feel disenfranchised and don’t get their way.

Oh, wait.

This video provides a bit of insight into how Trump developed his character disorder and why we can expect that if he becomes president again he will attempt to rule as an autocrat.

It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks.

Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president: his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in policy and his increasingly bizarre cast of associates.

This unequivocal, dispiriting truth — Donald Trump is not fit to be president — should be enough for any voter who cares about the health of our country and the stability of our democracy to deny him re-election.

For this reason, regardless of any political disagreements voters might have with her, Kamala Harris is the only patriotic choice for president.”

BREAKING: Donald Trump gets devastating news as FBI stats are released proving that crimes rates are falling drastically under President Biden — destroying the MAGA “crime wave” narrative.

This timing couldn’t be any better…

According to the preliminary figures released by the FBI today, the trend of falling crimes rates that was noted by the bureau in 2023 continues strong.

Between January and June, murders dropped by 23% compared to the same time period in 2023. Violent crime fell 10% and reported rapes dropped by 18%.

Aggravated assault dropped by 8% tear over year, robberies fell by 14%, and reported property crime dropped 13%.

The statistics were gathered from 14,800 law enforcement agencies all across the country.

These numbers are deeply inconvenient for Donald Trump because he’s desperate to convince voters that there is a historic crime wave unfolding fueled by lawless immigrants. In reality, things are rapidly and dramatically improving under Democratic leadership.

Right. Of course, facts don’t mean anything to Trump or his MAGA supporters. They will just claim that the FBI is part of the deep state conspiracy. But, as you know, the lie that immigrants have been increasing crime throughout the country “like you’ve never seen before” has been a major Trump/ Vance talking point. The FBI report would be a good point for Walz to hammer home in his debate with Vance tonight.

Sure thing, and on that talking point it would also be doubly intriguing to see if humor will be introduced into the boring repetition that the presidential hopefuls have already j introduced, by using the pet eating proof’s evidence, infusing the performance by a comedy of errors subterfuge, leaning toward a nod to political analysts who may be watching.

You want humor, there’s plenty of that, but it’s mostly what they used to call gallows humor where Trump is concerned. https://youtu.be/HX-5jmQplIo?si=57C70-OdcJT4ti7k

John Stewart gets plenty of laughs with clips of the incoherent ramblings Trump is actually emitting at his rallies while framing a strong argument that Kamala Harris is the only reasonable choice for responsible voters and that commentators are holding her to higher standard than they do Trump who is unhinged.

Here is up to date humor as we speak:

Seth Meyers on Donald Trump: ‘This guy’s mind is like fully gone, right?’

Late-night hosts discuss Trump’s crazy comments, Vance’s unpopularity and double standards for ‘undecided’ voters

10:27 EDT Tuesday, 01 October 2024

Late-night hosts discuss Donald Trump’s weekend of weird statements, JD Vance’s negative favorability rating and the myth of the “undecided voter”.

Seth Meyers

With just over a month to go until election day, Donald Trump is hitting the campaign trail, with rallies that are “becoming even more meandering and incoherent than they were before”, said Seth Meyers on Monday night.

The Late Night host recapped just a few of Trump’s extremely weird comments from the weekend, including: saying flies buzzing around his head were doing so for “suspicious” reasons, bragging that his beach body is better than Biden’s, and advocating for a Purge-style crackdown on shoplifting.

“I like when Trump plays tough – this guy wants to unleash the Purge on the country, but if he sees a fly buzz by, he loses his shit,” Meyers laughed.

“Trump only knows how to entertain his audience or frighten them, and he’s failing at the former,” Meyers added. “In fact, he’s so desperate that he’s now mumbling unintelligibly about how migrants are so strong there are no actors who could play them in movies, or something?

“Even his audience seems completely baffled” by this rant, which is simply too long and too meandering to reprint in full, but involved the words “no muscle content. We need a little muscle!”

Which made Meyers wonder: “This guy’s mind is like fully gone, right?”

Jon Stewart

On The Daily Show, the guest host Jon Stewart pretended to be an undecided voter still weighing the qualities of Trump and Kamala Harris. “It’s basically me and six people who were kicked in the head by very powerful horses,” he joked.

Stewart skewered critiques that Harris doesn’t have enough substance on “the issues”, when Trump spends his campaign speeches ranting about Hannibal Lecter and cannot articulate a single clear policy position. “So clearly what people like about Donald Trump is not his clear, specific policies as they demand from Kamala Harris,” he said. “But hey, I’m still open. I’m an undecided voter. You know, because the horse kick in the head. Let’s hear some of Trump’s passionate supporters explain what they see as his strengths.”

Stewart cut to a montage of Trump supporters testifying to his “characteristics”, such as being a “best friend” to American workers.

“The qualities and policies that people profess to be what they admire and love about former President Trump don’t seem to be an accurate reflection of said former president,” Stewart noted. “It’s as though they’ve created a fictional character, a Bizarro-Trump, whose accomplishments and character bear little resemblance to the self-aggrandizing, perpetual victim guy he continues to tell you explicitly that he is.

“This fictional Trump who is portrayed as much better than he actually is, is running to be president of a country he paints as much worse than it actually is,” he concluded. “But I gotta tell you, whatever country that is, where families are routinely murdered several times while making breakfast, could really use actual Donald Trump. The rest of us, not so much.”

Jimmy Kimmel

In Los Angeles, Jimmy Kimmel also mocked Trump’s incoherent rhetoric. “You know how he’s been calling on Democrats to dial down the rhetoric? I guess that only applies to them,” he said. At a rally in Wisconsin, Trump called both Biden and Harris “mentally impaired”.

“She was born that way,” he added of Harris. “Only a mentally disabled person could’ve allowed this to happen to our country.”

“What a lovely individual he is,” Kimmel deadpanned. “You’d think he’d be more sensitive, considering he has two sons who are mentally impaired, but I have to say – I think he’s flailing right now.

“He said so much crazy stuff this weekend,” Kimmel continued. “He said he wanted to close the Department of Education, he again claimed he won the debate ‘by a lot’, he threatened to prosecute Google because he believes they show bad search results about him. He said the people you see leaving his rallies, ‘it looks like they’re leaving but they’re not really leaving.’

“He complained that Fox News shouldn’t be allowed to show Kamala speaking,” Kimmel continued breathlessly. “He rambled more about Kamala not working at McDonalds. He referred to migrants as animals, he suggested that the way to end crime would be to have ‘one very violent day, one rough hour that would solve everything’ like the Purge.

“If anyone in your life had a weekend like this, you’d be concerned,” he concluded. “Like if your dad had a series of similar outbursts, you’d call your siblings to figure out what to do.”

Stephen Colbert

And on The Late Show, Stephen Colbert mocked Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, for his favorability rating of -11 points ahead of Tuesday’s vice-presidential debate, “putting him right between unexplainable skin rash and watching Euphoria with your parents in the room”.

Harris’s running mate, the Minnesota governor, Tim Walz, is reportedly less comfortable in a debate setting than on the campaign trail, and is anxious about letting Harris down. “Hey, buddy! We’re not going to win with that kind of attitude,” said Colbert, nodding to Walz’s past as a high school football coach. “Bring it in, coach! Sounds like you need one of your signature pre-game talks. Look, buddy, I want you to get out there, I want you to hunker down and find that extra gear, leave 110% of the pigskin on the fourth and down. Clear hearts, blue eyes, green clovers, purple horseshoes, go fish, yahtzee!”

Colbert also grimaced at Trump’s comments on shoplifting at a rally this weekend – “If you had one day, like one real tough nasty day … one really violent day, one rough hour, and I mean real rough, the world will get out and it will end immediately.”

“Did he just suggest the Purge for stealing from CVS?” Colbert wondered.

Some very funny stuff there but sadly true. “Stewart also noted that the former president has been lauded as someone who supports free speech, although he has spoken against that cause. The award-winning host reacted to a Rolling Stone report from earlier this month that Trump would like to punish late-night TV hosts.”

There have been Trump statements that there were no wars on his watch:

Plus, Trump was restrained from taking impulsive actions by experienced members of his cabinet who have said that they will never work with him again. He has now surrounded himself with like-minded sycophants who are more likely to carry out his bidding I conscientiously.

…and what of all the countless unreported crimes?

Vance will not admit that Trump lost the election to Biden.

What is the significance that Waltz has much more political experience to Vance, inasmuch as to judge their (pre(performance)) more aligned with their running mates’ style.

Former officials in Donald Trump’s White House have dropped new bombshell claims that the previous president wanted to withhold federal disaster aid in states that were not Republican-leaning during his time as commander in chief.

It’s just astounding to me that this sociopathic narcissist, who only apparently cares about himself, has a chance at winning again. What kind of leader withholds aid from a region because the people there aren’t of his political party? I’ll tell you who isn’t doing that - the people in the whitehouse now.

He’s not a leader. He’s hardly even human.

Some households were denied the $750 because they have homeowners insurance, despite needing immediate help.
