“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.
"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.
“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”
“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.
“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”
Watch Here:
The rapist Dementia Don 34 needs to drop out. He’s too old and his brain is cooked from all the adderall.
But Biden got confused during the debate after Trump lied about 50 different things. I’m not really sure I want a president who will get confused like that.
~literally all the pundits. (minus talking about Trump’s blatant and near constant lies, I added that bit for color)
Biden is in obviously the better choice but he is a pretty terrible choice. I didn’t have a ton of my governor Newsome but if take him in a heartbeat over Trump and Biden. My issues with newsome are mostly based on him being a slimeball but not his politics.
and the obvious incurable syphilis
in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming
He suddenly remembered that he is against UHC.
“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers
Meanwhile in Russia:
(Among people who said death penalty is acceptable) “As a punushment for what crimes do you find death penalty to be acceptable?”, multiple answers
Drugs / drug dealing: 3%
This will surely get the same 24/7 coverage for the next three weeks that Biden got for standing there being “low energy”, right?
I think it’s less about Biden’s ‘energy,’ and more about him actively sundowning on the national stage
The country basically ran itself while Bush and Trump played make believe. It’s fine.
trump WISHES he was duterte
Heyy a casual mention of the Expanse series pit of nowhere 😃
While I would love this to be a reference to The Expanse, they’re probably talking about the former president of the Philippines. Rodrigo Duterte had a policy of basically legalized vigilante murder for suspected drug dealers.
OMG sorry for being ignorant, the comparison to Winston Duarte was too similar.
Especially in the books. Duarte in the books is just like all the worst parts of Caesar (which I guess was part of the idea the writers had).
I can see what people are trying to do, but it doesn’t work. The right wing talking points about the less-right wing don’t work when flipped, because his followers don’t care. They lap it up.
They’re tootling around in mobility scooters covered with Trump flags and stickers. Their homes have been shrines to him since 2016. He could physically shit himself on stage and these people would still vote for him, no questions asked. Trump makes them feel good about their hatred they’ve been told is wrong for the last few decades. Their MAGA is an all-white suburb as far as the eye can see.
The only thing that will stop them is his death. A large chunk of the movement will die with him. Those followers don’t really seem to care for the republican party. That’s the only upside.
Fascism has the whole propaganda thing nailed down. It’s just too hard to get people excited about a mediocre amount of progressivism. The Nazis got this and have been the model for it ever since.
I honestly don’t know what the solution is.
The solution would be to beat them at their own game. Build a radical left propaganda machine - like Star Trek or Doctor Who on steroids.
“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C."
Can’t disenfranchise us, we’re already disenfranchised. Give us 2 senators and a representative, then you’ll have something to take away.
Can’t make DC a state for the same reason we can’t make Puerto Rico a state
It makes perfect sense to do so, but would negatively impact the electoral college in favor of people who aren’t Neo Nazis
Let’s get Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands proper representation as well.
Samoa sounds really nice, especially when everything else collapses.
We already ruined Chagos. Not many other places to escape.
jerk vision: “Soma sounds really nice, especially when everything collapses.” Pass it to the left.
Fun fact: every battleship built by the United States has been named after a state except one, USS Kearsarge, which was named that in honor of the Kearsarge which sank the Confederate raider Alabama during the Civil War (the US Navy since then has always had a ship in commission with that name, as presumably a giant fuck you to the South). In order to restore the beautiful consistency of having every battleship named after a state, I think we should allow any of the territories you listed above to become the 51st state - so long as they change their name to “Kearsarge” first.
I’ve seen a lot of comments saying he should step down. Lots of people talking about how unfit he is for office.
Allow me to increment.
He should step down. Ideally into a pit of lava, but that’s just a stretch goal.
Lots of people talking about how unfit he is for office.
Sadly, these calls aren’t coming from within the party itself. The GOP is fully in lockstep with Trump, while the Dems are - once again - stabbing one another in the back as quickly as they can swing the knives.
We should really take a lesson from the '80s Republicans, who had absolutely no problem pursuing their agenda despite a President who literally had Alzheimer’s during his second term.
Second term Reagan was, famously, not great for Republican election prospects. They lost a full eight Senate seats in '86.
It’s almost like it’s impossible to represent everyone with only two political parties.
I’d say the deeper root of the problem is Congressional districts that encompass 600,000 residents each.
Capping the number of House Reps has turned the local political class into a gaggle of celebrity fundraisers and mega-bundlers.
How many people have actually met their Congressperson, much less a Senator?
Dems love to ruin everything for themselves in the 4th quarter.
Oh no republicans are in charge! The donors to my political campaigns will be so disappointed!
Maybe the Hawaiians could volunteer a volcano?
That sounds like a great way to piss off a god, which god would want DRUMF as a sacrifice?
Eris
Y’know what? Fair!
Here’s hoping…
He can’t even stay on topic because the issue at hand doesn’t impact him. In his mind airports are the biggest issue to the American voter because he is dealing with it constantly while campaigning.
And that’s ignoring the rhetoric. It would be funny if this wasn’t the existential threat it was.
The only thing standing in the way of this sundowning narcissist fascist is a sundowning hubristic imperialist. At least he will try his best. 😮💨
The man is nearly as dumb as the people who vote for him.
That’s his secret of success. He has the unique ability to fervently believe his own lies. If some other fucker like Cruz or DeSantis lies, you can always see they’re aware of it and cringing inside. That’s why they are never perceived as “authentic” by the moron base.
What is with the music?
He has music playing during his rallies to get the emotional appeal from his supporters.
Rapid slide into incoherence. RNC convention is going to be interesting.
What slide? He was this incoherent during his presidency. This has been his way of commuting the entire time, and yet people die for him.
The cynic in me believes that the Republicans calling for Biden to have a drug test before the debate was good old projection, and Trump was the one who was actually hopped up on drugs. Can’t ride that pharmaceutical train all the time though.
When is he going to step aside for a more coherent Republican replacement? He is not fit for the office at such an age!
Witch hunt!1!! /s It’s nothing but oral diarrhea. As usual! Move on, nothing to see here!
That’s because of his diminished cognitive capacity.
I read the speech and then found the clip. It honestly looks like he was having a series of mini strokes.
Voters are demanding that trump step down and let another candidate take his place. It’s all over the Internet. I heard he can’t even tie his shoes anymore.
But his voters/supporters love how his mental abilities are lower than theirs
Trump looks, talks, and acts like someone who has had a series of strokes. As well has having mini ones like during his speeches. Sadly, most republicans are still lower than him in cognitive ability.
“Don’t you think he looks tired?”
Well, he was asleep a lot of the time he was being convicted of being a felon so he is probably as tired as he looks.
I heard it to. And everyone is talking about it. I’m talking about it right now! See?
I saw a comment earlier today calling on trump to resign. Everyone is saying it:
He has visibly struggled with operating a glass of water.
I heard he can’t even tie his shoes anymore.
“Anymore” implies he was able to at some point
Just grab em by the laces
He tries, but the Velcro is getting in the way
Bigly diminished. The best even.
Trump heard Joe Biden might have dementia so he went out and got even bigger dementia, the best dementia!
People say it all the time, they tell him, he’s got the best dementia, historic really. No airport could ever outshine his monumental brain fog.
His cognitive decline has been tremendous.
Nobody has ever had more diminished cognitive capacity than me, everybody’s saying it. I have the best deficits
You sound like my kind of leader! Let’s go, Brandon!! Save this country from all these mouth breathing librarians, let’s go!
