Trump should be allowed to speak at the barbershop on one condition only - that they get to work on his barnet! I picture the barber in Coming to America looking at the Prince and asking what sort of product he has on his hair, studying it for two seconds, then decisively lopping off the pony tail he had since birth.
I would LOVE to see someone go at Trumpās hair in the same way
From a Trump campaign spokesman. I know this is a bit rhetorical but who is motivated or whose mind is changed by this?
āItās sad Kamala Harris has to trot our third-rate, scumbag losers like Gavin Newscum to peddle her lies in an effort to gaslight the American people,ā Cheung said. āHer campaign is on a death spiral and she is careening towards an embarrassing loss that will be taught in history classes for generations to come.ā
edit - what is more frightening, that Trump has no values and all the messaging is a construct or that he is behind the messagingā¦
I thought Project 2025 cancelled history classes.
Edit - whatās most frightening is he has no values, he makes up values, his supporters love those made up values, and then his supporters say they are just made up values the donāt suppor. None of his act works without the cognizant cooperation of his following.
This topic came up in here a few months ago, iirc.

He is still a fat idiot fuckwit though.
As the result is going to be very close, thereās no doubt that the Trumpists will attempt to overturn the election if they donāt win.
They have done all the groundwork in preparation for this eventuality.
The only questions are, how far will they go? and is the system robust enough to resist?
Ok, Iām going to say it: I really donāt like some of these KamalaHQ tweets where they are interpreting what Trump is saying (difficult to do in any circumstance, even if you were Donald himself!) and then delivering it as a quote. I feel like, if this is indeed her official channel, they are playing a āif you canāt beat him, join himā game.
Trump says heās not going to let Americans vote against him again like they did in 2020: āWeāre never gonna let it happen againā
Trump says he will move to take CBS āoff the airā because he doesnāt like 60 Minutes
Unless the corresponding videos donāt contain everything that is in context of those quotes, then he didnāt say those things.
Isnāt there enough mud to sling at him already that we donāt need to misinterpret his words? We may understand what his underlying threat is, but if he isnāt explicitly saying that, then donāt report it as his words.
Actually, Iām not even sure Iām able to believe that heās got enough remaining cognitive capacity to merge underlying threats into his normal sentences.
I agree. Iād rather they just ignore him. Everyone knows what kind of person he is.
They should be hammering home the message that her plans mean more money in the pockets of ordinary people.
Itās the economy, stupid!
According to Trump he āhas cognitiveā. His exact words and more than once.
Pretty sure he doesnt know what it means.
And worryingly, neither do many of his supporters.
Itās a wheel in your gearatives.
At this point, you fight fire with fire. Playing nice isnāt going to get them anywhere.
Unfortunately that just isnāt true, and it is the insistence that it is true despite the massive amounts of evidence to the contrary that is why he has not yet been popularly portrayed as an inherently unqualified candidate, despite everything.
Early voting has now started in some places. I will probably be voting a week today. We have two more weeks before the voting is over, and it is in this period that a sizeable portion of the electorate will make some effort to familiarize themselves with what they are being asked to vote on for the first time since last time they voted. These people will be aware in general of the criticisms being made against him, but will approach it from a politics as usual perspective of āthey both lie and say nasty things about each other.ā Now is the time to be making your most compelling case for how awful a person Trump and how disqualifying everything he is saying is.
