Donald Trump’s national press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, said to the NY Times “President Trump believes anyone convicted of a crime should spend time behind bars.” When NBC News asked if this also applies to Trump’s own convictions, Leavitt responded “President Trump believes criminals should spend time behind bars, unlike Kamala Harris, who wants to eliminate cash bail.”
Well, there you have it. Donald Trump, according to his campaign’s press secretary, says that Donald Trump should spend time in jail, even while his (numerous and largely baseless) appeals are considered, because he has been convicted of a crime, which makes him a criminal.
This is an incredibly powerful video from the Lincoln Project. It points out graphically what Republicans would have to do to enforce their bans on abortion. They would have to take away your rights and freedom. Which is exactly what Project 2025 plans to implement.
Trump claims (lies) that he knows nothing about Project 2025, but he just yesterday he gave a speech at a conference sponsored by The Heritage Foundation, who wrote Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation also sponsored the Republican Convention. And much of Project 2025 was written by Trump’s associates, including JD Vance, who wrote the forward for it.
All these Republicans who now pretend to support Donald Trump? They knew, and told people (in public), that Trump was a tinpot conman, who was a mortal danger to our country. We even have video.
By now, most people know about Trump and his campaign’s trip to Arlington National Cemetery, to use it as a political prop, which is illegal. They also used it to create a campaign video, which is also illegal.
In breaking news, we now know why Trump went to Arlington. This is an important point, since Trump has never given a rat’s ass about any dead soldiers.
What would happen if Trump becomes president again?
On January 21, 2025, the following executive order is announced: “All US schools must issue students copies of ‘Quotations from Chairman Trump’ for their morning devotionals.”
Mike Lindell gets humiliated by a 12-year-old at the DNC, and Trump whines about Obama’s joke about Trump’s “size”. It’s everything you need to know about the convention.
If Trump wants to know “who has the biggest size”, all he has to do is look out the window.
Stephen Colbert asks where Melania Trump has been hiding out, and finds her at the Democratic Convention. As usual, Laura Benanti as Melania is hilarious.

I live in Portland, OR, where people are proud to be weird, and many people have bumper stickers and other signs that say “KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD”. So I must admit that when the Democrats started calling Republicans “weird” I was concerned. But Mother Jones explained it to me:
I still would prefer “creepy” to weird, but if it is working, I’ll put up with it.
As an added hilarious video, Seth Myers also calls the Republicans “weird”.
Can you believe what happened during the last few weeks? Well, having lived in three countries with parliamentary systems, where a typical election lasts less than a month, I wish we could beat our elections down to a more reasonable length, where things would happen faster out of necessity.
Less than 18 minutes long! Much more uplifting than any Trump rally, where TFG just complains, attacks people, and then rambles on about sharks, electric boats, shower heads, windmills, “the late great Hannibal Lecter”, or love letters from dictators.

I love it when a snarky quote manages to burn two people at once, and with a pun!
“J.D. Vance is a phony, he’s fake. I mean, he first says that Donald Trump is like Hitler, and now he’s acting like he’s Lincoln. The problem with J.D. Vance is he has no conviction, but I guess his running mate has 34.”
