Donnie's day

 

What if Trump held a rally and only these people showed up?

That could never happen.  His keepers would never let them in.  Maybe one, so he could sic the MAGAs on that person and then complain to the media about the near-assassination he faced down with so much courage, nobody has ever seen such courage before.  

Trump was inside the courthouse babbling about how long he has been famous and how he and Jessica Leeds were "making out" on a plane ("groping" is the word she used) and how many women found him so irresistible that they lied about their encounters with him and how Leeds would not have been "the chosen one" because she's no Melania and on and on, just what your lawyers want to hear when they're breaking their backs to appeal your rape conviction.  Judge Merchan was probably right when he said this case is unique in both politics and jurisprudence and postponed sentencing until after the election.  Apart from considerations of personal safety, what else could he do?

That was New York, the city that knows him best and loathes him longest.  Today he was in Charlotte trying out new material to prove he's not in mental collapse:

"Nancy Pelosi has a big wall around her house.  Of course it didn't help too much with the problem she had, did it?"

Without wasting much time and effort, could someone tell me what the hell this means?  Is he saying at long last that walls don't work?  Is it still funny that Paul Pelosi was nearly killed by a MAGA psycho with a hammer?  What exactly was "the problem"?  

Nancy Pelosi is in his "thoughts" today as he reacts -- you knew he would -- to the Cheney apostasy.  Dick led to Liz, "who lost by the largest margin in the History of Congressional Races!"  Then something about Scooter Libby and how Dick wasted lives and money in "Endless, Nonsensical Wars" -- and this gem:  "I am the Peace President, and only I will stop World War III!"  Back to Liz and the "Unselect Committee" (he still thinks that's witty) covering up the way "Nancy Pelosi was responsible for J6 -- DIDN'T PROVIDE SECURITY" and the inevitable "Comrade Kamala is even worse!"  

Compared to the Economy Club episode, this is the Gettysburg Address.  I had forgotten Lewis Libby existed, but Trump is proud of pardoning him (and still no one asks about Jaime Davidson).  I kind of agree about the Iraq adventures -- wait till Bush comes out for Harris.  As with the Pelosi's and their wall, the J6 lie is inherently bonkers.  Pelosi was not empowered to call out the National Guard and as for her "responsibility," aren't the J6 criminals hostages and martyrs in MAGA World?  And "Peace President" really means abandoning all our allies in or out of NATO and letting the dictators he worships "do whatever the hell you want."  Once a draft-dodging coward, always a draft-dodging coward.  

Speaking of thugs, Putin says the hundreds of square miles of Kursk under Ukrainian occupation don't bother him.  I wonder if he remembers the fable of the fox and the grapes.  And I wonder how the Russian people feel, especially the ones driven from their homes.  This three-week "special operation" has been good for nobody but the oligarchs and the undertakers.

J.D. Vance continues to work hard at making people hate him.  This week a Facebook video came to light where he called his dogs "idiotic" for howling at an ambulance siren.  He hates that his seven-year-old son is into Pokemon and yelled at him to "shut the hell up" about it so he could take a very important phone call from Trump.  (It's a cell phone.  You can walk into another room.)  And his recorded podcast interview with Tucker Carlson will air as scheduled despite the growing outrage over Carlson's platforming Darryl Cooper, who blames Churchill and the Zionists for the Holocaust.  "We believe in free speech and debate," unlike those leftists with their "facts."  Fine, let's hear you criticize Netanyahu.  Ask him about Aysenur Eygi, the American woman killed in the West Bank by a sniper yesterday.

The J-man planned to spend a quiet Labor Day at home threatening the kids (Python reference) but his handlers were like "Tick tock, two months to election day, go stand by a UAW picket line."  So he put on his Ohio State hoodie and went, and who should he run into but Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH).  She tried to fist-bump him but he was unfamiliar with this arcane procedure.

Is she a witch?  A shape-shifter?  Is this what is meant by "fisting"?
