Be Careful What You Ask For

Well, Donald Trump's strategy of dominating the news so he gets tons of free air time without having to pay for it, has been working out great the last week.

How's that going for you, Donald?

I don't think the RNC can get him to shut up and act nice for too much time. His continued pokes at Senator Warren on twitter are just the smallest of the fissures the RNC have to plug, and the take no prisoners act versus anyone who opposes him will make him a weapon of mass destruction. Once Hillary starts in, I'm guessing the ability of the GOP to distance themselves from whatever Trump says will be extremely limited, as he will be their nominee, and thus the national face of the party. I'd be lying if I said I was sorry for their predicament, but they made their bed...

I'm with you, Marc. I think Hillary has demonstrated that she can drive him over the edge when she thinks it's time to do it. As I've said, a couple more performances like we saw last week and the Republicans will be forced to find a way to ditch him, so I suspect that Hillary's people are smart enough to hold back until it's too late. Trump is the face of the party now, because they have been building a base that wants exactly that. They're stuck with him now, and if they do ditch him, I predict they will end up with something even worse next time around.

I keep quoting H. P. Lovecraft: "Do not call up that which you cannot put down." Pretty much sums it up.

I'm betting that Trump's $2billion of 'free publicity' is bad for the media titans...they want candidates to be forced to spend BIG real $$! I wonder how they will respond.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
