This pre-election lull is as expected. Just a lot of nonsense before the heavy hitting starts.
I finally got off my butt and thought I’d just make a few observations about the communication skills of TFG - the landlord of Mar-a-Lardo, who is desperately trying to avoid a spell in a government jailhouse.
Every single thing he does and says these days is in aid of keeping him out of prison - in order to do that he HAS to win the 2024 election.
Billionaire donations will help that.
To that end he is advocating an end to taxation of huge corporations and shifting the burden to ordinary American citizens. Actually that sounds like an idea from Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon (before he reports to prison).
And these days that is Trump’s entire raison d'être. Here’s just a few of the comments I’ve overheard when I was wandering around a crowd of his MAGAt fans
______
“He doesn’t talk with you - he speaks TO you. Makes us MAGATs feel good.”
“It was COVID. - not his fault.”
“Things weren’t that bad..”
_____
Just a sampling of some of the idiocy I heard as I wandered around a crowd of his fans at one of his rallies - just before the cross-burning that accompanied the announcement of mandatory Ten Commandment propaganda posters in American classrooms.
And his announcement this weekend that illegal immigrants should be performing cage fighting sickened me. He’s already put Junior in charge of finding venues. Which could keep the drug addict off social media for a little while.
“You know Tom, that could give me a lot of money. My legal bills are spiraling.
“Do you have any idea of how much lawyers charge? Really a drain on my campaign. Thank God that Aileen Cannon has just stopped even bothering with the case that was assigned to her. But I still have to pay her a bit to sit on her ass. She’s liking it. Calls it a vacation.
“Unfortunately the rest of the courts involved haven’t quit.
“If I am going to stay out of prison - this has to end.
“I don’t care how much it costs.”

Tom, my cats keep asking me WTF is wrong with the American people??? That this orange tinted, buffoonish convicted felon is the Republican candidate for President of the United States. How did that many people actually vote for him?? All I can say to them is there are a lot of really stupid people here that drank the kool aid,in combination with enough billionaires to prop him up for favors of tax breaks and deregulation to make them richer while destroying the planet. Then they hiss at me
