“Unstable and Unhinged” Is The New Weird

Kamala Harris launched her own catch phrase in Erie PA last night to compete with her running mate’s “They’re just weird”.

After playing a video montage of Trump saying he would deploy the military on Americans who don’t support him, she said, “A second Trump term is a huge risk for America. He is increasingly unstable and unhinged. And he is out for unchecked power and control over your lives” — Watch the video

Bink, thanks for last night’s comment sharing this recent evidence confirming the “unstable and unhinged” charge:

Holy $&@! this is the most bizarre political campaign event i’ve ever seen, and i’ve been watching ‘em here with y’all for YEARS
 

The “music portion” is at the end, Noem looks lost and horrified, trump is undeniably cognitively-impaired

The “town hall” portion ain’t less bizarre, btw

indescribably bonkers

stephen pointed out even more evidence

VP Kamala Harris released her medical records but her opponent won’t, former president Donald Trump’s cognitive decline was on full display during his public appearances over the weekend, and friends of the show James Taylor and Luke Combs are among the headliners at a hurricane relief concert.

We are three weeks away from the election and it was a messy weekend for Donald, he bragged about not using a teleprompter while reading from a teleprompter, he was in Aurora, Colorado where the MAGA-faithful assembled to bask in the glow of their dear misleader, Trump said that if elected he will invoke The Alien Enemies Act of 1978, VP Kamala Harris released her medical information over the weekend and Trump has yet to do so, he has called for Kamala to pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility, over the weekend he reportedly used the “r” word to describe her in front of his bigliest donors, for whatever reason Trump has doubled his support among Black American men and couldn’t wait to tell all the white people who came to his rally about it, no one mispronounces words better than Donald, and after his rally in Coachella on Saturday we spoke to Trump supporters there about the issues that seems to have them so upset.

post script to that town hall Bink shared with us:

Trump town hall interrupted by medical emergencies in the crowd (msn.com)

Former President Donald Trump’s town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania, on Monday evening was interrupted twice by medical emergencies in a very warm Greater Philadelphia Expo Center and Fairgrounds before he cut the program short.
There was a medical emergency that required an attendee to be placed on a stretcher about 30 minutes into the event. As the crowd started singing “God Bless America,” Trump requested that “Ave Maria” be played on the loudspeakers as medics tended to the man.
[…]
Following the medical emergencies, Trump requested that the doors be opened but he was advised that for security reasons that wasn’t possible. Both Trump and moderator South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem commented on the heat in the room.
“Open the doors. I wish we could open those doors to outside,” Trump said. “For security reasons, they can’t. But you know what I suggest? Open them. Because anybody comes through those doors, you know what’s going to happen to them.”
“Personally, I enjoy this. We lose weight, you know. No, you lose weight. We could do this — lose four or five pounds,” Trump quipped.
“Would anybody else like to faint?” Trump said as the second person made their way out of the Expo Center.
Trump then requested that “Ave Maria” be played again and remained on stage as more music was played.
He continued, “Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Let’s make it into a music fest. Who the hell wants to hear questions right? Isn’t that beautiful?”
The former president, adamant about playing his music, stood on stage for nearly 45 minutes swaying to several songs on his playlist as the crowd sang and danced along.
The crowd slowly dispersed, but many stayed for the entirety of the campaign event.
“To lighten the mood, President Trump turned the town hall into an impromptu concert and the crowd loved it,” Leavitt told ABC News, adding, “The room was full of joy.”

Political Cartoon U.S. Donald Trump unhinged media GOP | The Week

only problem is the unhingedment just provides him more free media attention which in turn takes away airtime from others.

Too bad someone didn’t sneak polka music into the playlist.  The guy is leaving a weird universe and moving to one that only he knows about.  I know the cult will not care that he is out of his mind, most likely those using him for power and money will gloss over what happened, and the corporate media will not say a thing.  It his riding the escalator of lost brains down to the basement that is what we are watching.

It is blatantly obvious now that sfb backers don’t care about the idiot.  They are pushing the veep to become prez once the cult has voted stupid into office.  Twenty-fifth amendment shortly after the inauguration and put orange blob into a room decorated as the Oval Office, a phone and some burgers.

Plump behaves like a fascist aiming to be a despot. I don’t know if he’s fascist to the core because I don’t think he has one. He has violent and vile tendencies because those were his youthful influences. He’s acting out of increasing desperation, and someone is reading out loud to him about how Hitler and other dictators did it, so he’s grabbing onto that. Maybe Putin is personally coaching him.

How Colorado is working to prevent another Tina Peters situation
Colorado is better prepared this year to counter threats to the integrity of the 2024 election, experts say.
The intrigue: That’s all thanks to Tina Peters, the Mesa County clerk sentenced to prison earlier this month for election tampering.
Why it matters: Colorado was the epicenter of efforts to unearth alleged voter fraud and overturn the 2020 presidential election results, but officials are determined this year to quell any concerns about threats to the vote.

 

What they’re saying: “Her callous disregard for her sacred oath has strengthened our resolve and our processes to guard against someone inside an elections office taking advantage of their position to undermine our most cherished right to vote in free, fair, and secure elections,” said Matt Crane, executive director of the Colorado clerks association, in a statement at Peters sentencing hearing.
The latest: New laws strengthen prohibitions against elected officials from accessing election equipment and being in the room with voting systems without being accompanied by authorized individuals — a direct response to Peters’ actions.
Other new provisions require election officials to get certified — unlike Peters — and prohibit those convicted of election offenses from serving as county clerk. 
Moreover, Colorado lawmakers tightened laws designed to protect election officials from threats and retaliation and prohibit false electors who would attempt to overturn the results.
The bottom line: Secretary of State Jena Griswold expressed confidence in the integrity of the election. “Colorado’s elections are the nation’s gold standard,” she said in a statement after Peters’ sentencing.
“I am proud of how we have responded to the first insider election breach in the nation, and look forward to another secure and successful election in November.”

This gets my vote. Why don’t other states (like Alabama) study and adopt this model? Could it be they don’t really want elections to “work?”

Israel has a major problem, and it may not have a solution.  Established originally as a safe haven for global Jews following WWII, its successful kibbutz system built a modern nation despite the various wars in its early years.  In defense, following the various wars, it kept parts of the geography not part of the original outlines and expanding into the West Bank.  All this was while claiming to be a democratic nation but suppressing the voter participation of Arab residents whose population birth rate outstrips Jewish Israelis.  

The surrounding Arab nations want nothing to do with the Palestinians other than using them as a military buffer with Israel leaving them in a poverty stuck between a rock and a hard place.  The result is an Israel practicing a system of apartheid that the US cannot continue to support.

Even if a real two state solution was achieved, what happens to the non-Jewish citizens of Israel?

This 1922 report lays out these problems that the far-right policies of Netanyahu have done nothing to alleviate.

Israel reacts to ‘apartheid’ label from Amnesty International (ft.com)

Yes, Israel was attacked and its citizens kidnapped and slaughtered with only a few returned.  Unfortunately, Israel has responded with attacks on women and children in the thousands to a point where the US is threatening to withhold aid unless humanitarian relief is provided.

Yes, please! All MAGAts should go vote on January 5th. 

Is it possible that he would only be a dictator in day one, because on day two he’ll be ousted for Putin’s other puppet, JD?

Why is “leadership” such a big deal? a young colleague once asked me. My reply: leadership is like air. When it’s clean and fresh, you hardly think about it. You breathe freely, you go about your business, you get your stuff done. But when air is bad, it stinks, it’s in your way, you cough and choke, you can’t function, it’s all you think about, I can’t breathe. Or that smells terrible. 

Donald Trump is like a breath of foul air. Kamala is the fresh breeze we’ve been waiting for.

Flynn, the goon-in-coming, has PROMISED to “go after” generals and admirals to execute them under Trump’s orders. Trump’s demented actions last night expose him as a crazed idiot, but here he comes, charging up through the polls, embraced endorsed and hugged by white adult men who are so misogynistic they cannot stand a woman , especially this one, asserting she can be a good President. Women are going to decide this election; it is all about enough women to get out there and vote for Harris. If they maintain the same percentage of voters, here comes Trump. This talk of the youth changing this election is just talk…they never have influenced an election in numbers.

who dares to say he’s 2 dimensional!

in a sense, he’s at least 4 dimensional: smell, sound, looks, touch — all like shit.   

taste would be only in the sense of style, too horrible to imagine what he actually would taste like.

it’s a trope in portrayals of despots for their adherents to attempt to conform to increasingly unhinged behavior until such devotion becomes awkwardly comical, like all the attendees at the trump town hall standing around, confused, participating but not sure why
