Whichever guy can still tap dance without falling over gets the job, will make for an interesting contest. I’d bet on Trump’s doctor providing the most powerful syringe full of pick me up drugs every morning on the campaign trail.

Based on some professional knowledge, and some reading round, unless Trump’s doctors have come up with a cure for frontotemporal dementia there’s not a whole lot they can do. And even if they did, he’s so unfit generally they’d probably just be pushing him into heart attack and stroke territory.

Good ad from Biden here

Very good piece on how far reaching and ambitious the Inflation Reduction Act is to restructure the US economy and the consequences for the world economy (like forcing Europe into a more reciprocal protectionist position it didn’t seek). It’s more like Gaullist derigism on steroids than Trump’s crude tariff and import controls.

Trump says pardoning Capitol attackers will be one of his first acts if elected again

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202 ... -6-pardons

Donald Trump has said one of his first acts if given a second presidency would be to pardon the insurrectionists who carried out the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, referring to them as “hostages” in a Truth Social post on Monday night.

“My first acts as your next President will be to Close the Border, DRILL, BABY, DRILL, and Free January 6 Hostages being wrongfully imprisoned!” Trump wrote.

Though he has long said he will dismiss charges against the rioters if elected, the post is the closest Trump has come to saying that pardons for the Capitol attack rioters is a first-day priority, along with oil and gas drilling as well as a crackdown at the US-Mexico border. Trump’s post came after he has implied that he plans to be a “dictator” on his first day back in office if returned to the White House after losing to Joe Biden in 2020.

Whose vote does he think this wins.

Pizzagrenadiers, good ole boys and outlaws.

Fucking hell, Hur did an absolute hit job on Biden with his ‘press release’. The full report shows it to be pretty much total bullshit, to the extent he even praised his recall.

If you thought Larry David’s on-screen wife was long suffering married to an obsessive neurotic crank, check out her real husband.

I'm told enough to remember when I was told how Tulsi was a progressive voice standing up the establishment. Now look at her.

“I’d be honoured to serve President Putin.” I’d be surprised if American isolationism is a popular position in Hawaii.

I’m not sure where I was during the keffiyeh incident on Friday night. I may have been talking to a woman about the “very beautiful” January 6 vigil she attended, or chatting with an older Black man from New Jersey who said the Reagan Dinner was fine, if a little dry. At some point I went out to smoke with a pair of “conservative artists” from New York, who told me their documentary about how brave it is to be a conservative artist would be screened at Mar-a-Lago in a couple of weeks. Later that night, I found myself stuck in a conversation with a man who, after imploring me to see his play, suggested we solve the “border crisis” by letting Border Patrol shoot migrants on sight.

Either the Daily Show or Bill Maher showed a clip of CPAC, Truss and Bannon may well be the sanest attendees.

Trump rallies the GOP following Mike Pence desertion by comparing Governor DeSantis to ISIS. Attacking your own party instead of the opposition is an unusual political strategy

Is it Andrew Bridgen? Hopefully this wack job will siphon off Trump’s base.

State Government comes down hard on "Them Chemtrails"




Keep watching to see the first prosecutions for crop dusting.

Tennessee state senate enjoying that sweet spot in politics there - just important enough to tackle the BIG issues, but not so important that they've been infested and corrupted by the university educated coastal blue state elite common purpose woke mind virus political class.

I’ll have a look when I can be bothered as to what chemtrails are supposed to be. I only know that conspiracy thickos bang on about them.

Prediction: just like Capone, it’s the money that’s going to get them in the end. Trump took over the Republican Party apparatus, and now has it funnelling cash straight to pay his ever-growing legal bills. He’ll have buggerall left for proper campaigning outside of his ego rallies, he’ll leave nothing for anyone else so other GOP candidates will suffer, and they’ll wither and die at the election.

And then, much like the Tories over here, the real infighting will begin.

Logical conclusion to make based on the facts but Trump never has to face consequences and will never be short of other people’s money to spend.
