For what they may cost, I’m sure the soles of his shoes are fine. Sorry, a cheap joke, couldn’t resist….

Anyway, again, I’m not sure of your point, other than maybe they don’t really believe what they signed. And maybe they believe every word. And maybe Gen. Kelly was being very accurate when saying Trump has no idea what service to others is, what sacrifice for something larger than one’s self is, that, remarkably, is an unknown concept to Trump. I’m not going to be surprised if other members of the military, former members of the military see Trump in the same light as Kelly and others.

Honestly all the evidence shows that Trump only understands service to Trump.
 
Trump attracts the finest people and the intellectual leaders of the MAGA movement…

Before Trump, neo-Nazis pushed false claims about Haitians as part of hate campaign

An extremist group that marched in Springfield, Ohio, and demonized Haitian immigrants saw Trump's mention of baseless rumors at the debate as a victory: “This is what real power looks like.”
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

The day after the presidential debate at which former President Donald Trump spread a false story about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, Christopher Pohlhaus, leader of the national neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe, took to his Telegram channel to take credit.

Pohlhaus, a Marine-turned-tattoo artist known as “Hammer” to his hundreds of followers, wrote Blood Tribe had “pushed Springfield into the public consciousness.”

Members of his hate group agreed. “The president is talking about it now,” a member wrote on Gab, a Twitter-like service popular with extremists. “This is what real power looks like.”
 
Has to be good news for Harris that Trump is actually hoping Laura Loomer can help him. Probably influenced some of his debate nonsense, since she rode with him to the debate.

Remarkably, despite Loomer being a leading proponent of “9-11 was an inside job”, Loomer was Trump’s guest at the 9-11 memorial this week!

Very illuminating article.
Many of trumps closest advisors seem to be afraid to speak out about trump spending so much close time with such a bad person because they are afraid to be fired.

As usual, whoever is kissing trumps butt the best is the one he is listening to currently. Right now that seems to be Loomer which is bad for everyone.

When Political Memes Take on a Lie of Their Own

By the time the Arizona Republican Party’s digital billboards urging Phoenix residents to “EAT LESS KITTENS” and “Vote Republican!” went up on Tuesday, the story they referred to had already been widely debunked. The previous week, claims that Haitian immigrants were stealing and eating pet cats...

In an article talking about how memes are spreading lots of lies and misinformation about this election campaign cycle you have this from a trump campaign staffer: “We love our meme-makers,” Alex Bruesewitz, a Trump campaign adviser, said in a statement. “Meme-makers are truth-tellers, unlike the liberal mainstream media, and the left can’t meme.”

That is like admitting that you are lying often and then saying that we love lying and the left and mainstream media aren't as good at lying. Meme makers are truth teller lol. Memes are like anything else, they cant be truthful or complete lies. So dumb to simply say that if its a meme then it is true by default.
 
JD Vance quote from yesterday with only the name of the person he spoke of omitted: "I don't think most Americans are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is fundamentally disconnected from their interests and the problems of most Americans,"

He was speaking of Swift but it sounds a lot like he was describing his running mate.

Lynda Carter, Original Wonder Woman, Isn't Backing Her Sister's Run For Arizona House

“I have known Pam my entire life, which is why I sadly cannot endorse her for this or any public office," the actor said.
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

Lynda Carter, the original Wonder Woman actor, denounced her sister’s campaign for a competitive seat in the Arizona House.

The actor’s statement was included as part of an exposé on her sister, Pamela Carter, the far-right Republican running to represent part of Maricopa County in the Arizona House of Representatives.

“On her website, Pam claims to have her ‘family’s full support,’” Lynda Carter told Mother Jones. “I have known Pam my entire life, which is why I sadly cannot endorse her for this or any public office.”

I'm not saying Gal Gadot isn't a smoke show, but Lynda Carter was on another level.

Thats a tough choice. Gal Gadot is literally one of my favorites of all time. (plus she seems to have a terrific personality from what I have seen of her in interviews and stuff)
But ya, Lynda Carter was fantastic.

Suggestion: Donald Trump is the leading example of the epidemic of Dunning-Kruger Effect in early 21st century America. He is the leader of the rampaging ignorance that defines this epidemic, much of it born of the internet’s influence in leading people into conspiracism and creating alternate realities that make the real world the enemy.

Obviously, Laura Loomer is a prominent example of what appears to be an epidemic of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. I have usually interpreted many of Trump’s crazy comments as his effort to use crazy ideas to his advantage. I’m more willing to see now that I could just interpret many of his responses to the fact that, like millions of others, the internet and social media has influence a mind not used to using critical thinking skills. He said once how he loves “the uneducated”, and he himself fits in the category of individuals not equipped to apply critical thinking to conspiracies that appeal to them, that provide confirmation bias of their irrational beliefs.

So, in the midst of an epidemic of Dunning-Kruger, we see one of our two major parties has itself succumb to the epidemic of ignorance that is Dunning-Kruger, and are attempting to install a mind so afflicted into the Oval Office. I wonder if future historians will describe things this way: how a rampaging infection of Dunning-Kruger swept through the American public and popular culture, spurred by the influence of the internet and social media, rendering governance very difficult, as society broke up into competing and conflicting realities. Until a consensus reality was a thing of the past. Hard to govern when two parties inhabit different realities.

These people are bored. Too much peace and prosperity. It’s why we’re seeing so many people with F-450 trucks and boats, instead of enjoying their lives, are miserable and finding meaning with Trump truck parades, swearing at doctors and teachers, and burning books. They have money, which is the primary measure of success in this country, and instead of using their money and leisure time to become more cultured and educated, they delve deep into nonsensical conspiracies.


But supposing the world has become “filled up”, so to speak, with liberal democracies, such as there exist no tyranny and oppression worthy of the name against which to struggle? Experience suggests that if men cannot struggle on behalf of a just cause because that just cause was victorious in an earlier generation, then they will struggle against the just cause. They will struggle for the sake of struggle. They will struggle, in other words, out of a certain boredom: for they cannot imagine living in a world without struggle. And if the greater part of the world in which they live is characterized by peaceful and prosperous liberal democracy, then they will struggle against that peace and prosperity, and against democracy.
