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”.
Don’t believe me? They call their plans “The Death Star”. Here’s a condensed video (less than 10 minutes long):
For more information, see this article in CNN.
Donald Trump’s claims that he knows nothing about Project 2025 are complete bullshit.
As many people have pointed out, when Donald Trump tells you who he is and what terrible things he is planning on doing, believe him!
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.”
— Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D), on CNN.
UPDATE: Beshear was just added to the list of people being vetted to potentially be the VP for Kamala Harris.
I still think Joe Biden could have won the election. However, that Amtrak train has passed, and I’m pleased at how quickly the Democrats have found their previously missing unity and coalesced around Kamala Harris.
So right now, pretty much the biggest worry about Harris is whether US voters are willing to elect a woman president. But a female friend of mine (born in Mexico, but now a US citizen) pointed out that if even Mexico (land of male machismo) can elect a female president, then it is about damn time that the US could do the same.
If anything, the current debate around abortion means that Harris should be able to get even red-state women to vote for her as a presidential candidate. Plus she would be running against two sleazy men. It also helps that (as many point out) it would be the Attorney General versus the Convicted Felon.
Make it so!
This comic sums up why I’m feeling like the USA is losing its way. And I’ll leave it at that.
Another killer video from the Lincoln Project.
Pretty much everything they warn about are things that Trump has said, multiple times.
