Really good stuff! That’s a hoot. But it’s way too close for comfort. The Maniac’s Attacking Government Again and his American Zombie Movement is on the march. God help us!
I don’t think Trump is leading in the polls. I think he is far behind Biden. This fiction is meant to give him fodder for a second Big Lie when he loses and justification for another J6. I do not think his base is anywhere near as large as he has conned the self-serving MSM and the cowered GOP into believing. Just look at the pitifully small number of Truth Social (Trump's official & only social media platform) active users. Where were the large numbers that were supposed to show up when he was indicted in FL, in GA, in NYC? The number who show up at his rallies (supporters and potential supporters) can often be counted in the hundreds not thousands including his paid actors. We were 4 weeks into his NY trial before more than a handful showed up to protest and even now the number is small. We are a nation of 240 million voting age citizens but less than 2000 stormed the capital on J6. Trump’s base is loud but few so why accept without question that he is leading in the polls? I am not advocating complacency or suggesting that we coast into November but do think we should ignore the polls. As an aside, I think the major polling platforms have been hacked by foreign adversaries but that’s a subject for another post.
How on earth can anyone support this thing? How can the GOP not insist he step down and bring up a healthier candidate? Is Trump just a Federalist Society court jester to get their agenda codified into law and control our nation? Trump is too insane to realize he is their puppet, and they control his strings. That's the only plausible explanation for how the GOP lost it's mind.
apparently, for tens of millions of American's, when he says "I am your Voice," they believe him. I wonder what deep insecurity lies at the heart of so many American's that they need a phony White Night like Trump (not to mention unlimited firepower) to feel secure.
there's also the long historical (and mythological precedent) of the rise and FALL of tyrants. Let's hope that fall comes sooner than later. In particular, before Nov.4! Is there someone who can maybe give someone a little push.
It's Shakespearian. His MAGA loyalists are there to support him in a trial where his former loyalist of over 10 years went to prison, lost his law license, and the first line on his obituary will be "a purgerer and liar" and these foolish men standing behind trump yesterday and today have learned nothing. #ETTD
Shakespeare's, like mythological figures, have tragic flaws that leads to their demise.
Trump is one giant flaw, without any nobility or redeeming qualities, but that shouldn't exempt him from the requisite FALL.
But in some cases the flawed leader brings his whole nation done with him. Trump is clearly willing to shred the constitution and open up a civil war (Chapter 1: Jan.6) so if he doesn't choke out on a Super Burger or if the CIA doesn't get him with a laser bolt of lighting, then this POS won't lose a phony hair plug bringing down America.
But to me the saddest and scariest part of this whole Trumpian shit-show is the massive cult of true believers that stand by him, and will tear down the country on his behalf. Half a nation of delusional cult-worshippers of a psychopathic conman - this will not end well.
Abe, I have a very different take than you do. Leaving aside the elected officials for a minute, the amount of people who are willing to go to the wall for Trump (commit crimes) is small and getting smaller, spooked by the J6 prosecutions. Handfuls, if that, are showing up to protest in front of the Manhattan courthouse. The Wildwood rally crowd was 10k, not 88k. And for these people, it's professional wrestling. How threatened can you feel about a guy who wears a REAL MEN WEAR DIAPERS T-shirt?
If Trump gets elected it's a different ballgame because the people around him are extremely dangerous. But if he loses, the same thing will happen to MAGA that happened to The People's Temple after they swizzled down the Flavor-Aid. Cults tend to disappear without their cult leaders and MAGA has no heir apparent.
I hope you're right about the numbers, and that Trump's cult "is small and getting smaller."
I don't "feel" it, but hopefully my confidence will increase as we get closer to Nov, and the reality of Biden or Trump sets in. (And hopefully this whole Palestinian chaos at campuses, etc will fade with some resolution in Gaza). Right now Gaza could easily cost Biden Michigan, and I don't think he can afford to lose any swing state.
Nikki Haley dropped out months ago and got over 20% in Maryland and Nebraska last night, two closed primary states. The recent NYT poll that everybody is freaking out about is getting eviscerated for bad methodology. Not everybody who voted for Trump is a Trump cultist.
Biden is withholding lethal aid to Israel for their incursion into Raffah and taking major heat for it from AIPAC types. Hell, some idiot congresscritter just filed articles of impeachment over it, LOL. Enough campus protesters are going to recognize that only Joe Biden cares about Palestinians.
The admiration between Patrick Bateman and Donald Trump would then be mutual. In the novel American Psycho (pub 1991), Bateman and his friends idolize Trump.
Funny and scary.
My dream is for Anthony Hopkins to show up in court, smile at Trump, and then sit down behind him.
Someone needs to get him to do this!

Brilliant.
“Always good about returning his videotapes”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
no way I'm watching a 2+ minute commercial just to see that Orange Turd spew bullshit.
Rick, once again, you've outdone yourself. All I can add is, bahhhhhh!

I guess that's the existential question of our times: "How on earth can anyone support this thing?"
How is this man leading in the polls???
He's not leading among likely voters.
I know, you’re right but I’m still aghast that anyone can support him.
apparently, for tens of millions of American's, when he says "I am your Voice," they believe him. I wonder what deep insecurity lies at the heart of so many American's that they need a phony White Night like Trump (not to mention unlimited firepower) to feel secure.
Whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad. We are there. I think the sycophants are planning to invoke the 25th amendment if he actually wins.
I wish I could think of other names to add to your list but they would be redundant.
Take it back. Emperor Palpetine

I wouldn't call it Shakespearean. Shakespeare's tragic heroes all have a core of nobility, which is what renders their falls so tragic.
There is nothing in Trump or the MAGA movement that is remotely noble.
Shakespeare's, like mythological figures, have tragic flaws that leads to their demise.
Trump is one giant flaw, without any nobility or redeeming qualities, but that shouldn't exempt him from the requisite FALL.

But ok, i owe you a thanks, you keep my hopes up:
Biden in '24 and down the dustbin with Trumpism.
Nikki Haley dropped out months ago and got over 20% in Maryland and Nebraska last night, two closed primary states. The recent NYT poll that everybody is freaking out about is getting eviscerated for bad methodology. Not everybody who voted for Trump is a Trump cultist.

a lot of these hypothetical imaginary friends hinge on that absolutely illiterate potato actually reading though..?
There must be video of MAGAs leaving the rallies early. Great content for ads.
You had me at "Pol Pot." Keep up the scathing and deadly accurate Trump humor. Nobody does it better!
