Donald J. Trump 2024

[Rolodex]

I was shocked how much cheaper groceries were here in New Mexico. A box of cereal that would've cost me seven or eight dollars at Publix in Southwest Florida is about 4.50 here.

Incomes are lower too, I bet.

Incomes are pretty low in Florida. Ask any public schoolteacher. I believe Florida is in the bottom two or three of the country.

Publix is gonna Publix. I shop mainly at Publix. I like it and the store is like 1/2 mile from my house. But the same box of cereal I get at Publix (family size Cinnamon Life) costs about twice as much as it does at the Target which is about 5 miles from me. We're fortunate to not be very price sensitive when we shop, but lots (most) people are. Plus here in Alabama, groceries are taxed, unlike most other states.

Trump had some dire predictions in 2020. Let’s review:

I was perplexed the first time I read your post, but I happened to read it again later and realized you were merely channeling the MAGA cult.

Who was this beautiful recipient not loaded with bullet holes?

Remember the maimed veteran he didn’t want at an event because a maimed veteran was poor optics in his fried brain? I wish I could remember the name because he sounded remarkable.

Why does he have Israeli flags behind him?

Publix lives and dies on BOGOs, customer service, and the deli counter. A Publix that can't deliver on all 3 of those deserves to be whistled past like a graveyard.

I will die on that hill myself, having lived (in total) within 5 miles of 22 different Publixes (near as I can count from memory) over the course of almost 45 total years of having my legal or full-time physical residences at 9 different townhouse, condo, or apartment locations in Broward or Alachua counties. I finished my last training class in D.C. *today*, and by Sunday night, I will be back at my little suburban Broward condo, within a mile and a half walk of 2 Publixes. I bounce between both of those and a 3rd further down the road in the opposite direction from the other two but which is the largest of the 3, based on my mood.

I miss Publix.

Why does he have Israeli flags behind him?

It was a 'Jewish Voices for Trump' event.

I don’t think there was a specific name. IIRC, Gen. Kelly confirmed an Atlantic story saying that Trump refused have amputees at his events because he didn’t want to be seen with them. It went along with the “I don’t get it? What was in it for them?” when Trump was talking about solders killed in action.

I’m the worst veteran ever. For me it was a job. While I’m proud of my service, I’m not much of a flag-waver. I get really uncomfortable when people thank me for my service. I’m just not a God-and-country kind of girl, particularly after having witnessed first-hand how the military treats its own people.

But for the life of me, I cannot understand why *any* veteran would vote for Trump when he clearly holds *all* veterans in such low regard.

For a lot of Trump followers, it's all about the hate. Hate the blacks, hate the Muslims, hate uppity women, hate gays, hate trans, hate liberals, hate welfare queens, hate immigrants, hate U.S. residents who don't speak English, hate people using food stamps, etc. It's all about someone other than their own demographic - typically white heterosexuals - getting anything from the government or getting treated with respect.

But, of course, every Trump follower deserves anything they get from the government - Social Security, military pension, Medicare, unemployment, their food stamps, etc. They are entitled.

Luis Avila is the one I was thinking of.

At his welcome ceremony at Joint Base Myer–Henderson Hall, across the Potomac River from the capital, Milley gained an early, and disturbing, insight into Trump’s attitude toward soldiers. Milley had chosen a severely wounded Army captain, Luis Avila, to sing “God Bless America.” Avila, who had completed five combat tours, had lost a leg in an IED attack in Afghanistan and had suffered two heart attacks, two strokes, and brain damage as a result of his injuries. To Milley, and to four-star generals across the Army, Avila and his wife, Claudia, represented the heroism, sacrifice, and dignity of wounded soldiers.

You're right. Those with that mindset seem to think that respect, equality, justice, fairness are all zero-sum games. If you give someone else a little more of any of those things, it means you have to take some away from them.

Oh, right. I remember that. Trump is a dick.

[Suranis]

Since when did the federal government set energy prices? He couldn’t have done it when he was in office, and he wouldn’t be able to do it if he were to get elected this time.

Oh he tried! April 2020 he was meeting with the Heads of the Gasoline companies to beg them to raise the Gasoline price at the pump. After Meeting with Russia and OPEC in march to heroically beg them to cut production to raise Oil prices!

Huh? What? I'm not supposed to mention that? And it shows he was actually doing the opposite of keeping prices down? And Dancing on the puppet strings of Oil Companies and Oil countries?

Uh. Ok. Forget I typed that then.

Beauty is in the eye of the bond-holder.

[sad-cafe]

I have been hoping that he will drop dead from a heart attack. Just freaking DIE, PLEASE!!!!!

I don't feel bad at all for wishing him dead. Not at all.

personally, I want him to stroke out, not dead.

I want him to be fully awake and aware of what's going on around him, but unable to speak coherently.

I want him shambling around Mar-a-Lardo like Frankenstein's monster, howling in inchoate rage.


But that's just me.

So you don't want him to change in any way?

Donald Trump's 'Asinine Comments' Criticized by Veterans of Foreign Wars

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-medal-ho ... rs-1940641

Veterans of Foreign Wars commander Al Lipphardt has slammed Donald Trump for "asinine" comments he made about the Medal of Honor award.

At a campaign event in New Jersey on Thursday, Trump sparked fury after he said the Presidential Medal of Freedom is a "better" award than the Defense Department's Medal of Honor, which is the United States Armed Forces' highest military decoration and is awarded to recognize American soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, guardians, and coast guardsmen who have distinguished themselves "through conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty."

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded to civilians "who have made exceptional contributions to the security or national interests of America, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors."

"It's the equivalent of the congressional Medal of Honor," Trump said of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. "But the civilian version, it's actually much better because everyone that gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they're soldiers."

"They're either in very bad shape because they've been hit so many times by bullets or they're dead," he said. "[Adelson] gets it, and she's a healthy, beautiful woman, and they're rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom."

Trump was referring to Miriam Adelson, a Republican donor who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from him in 2018 for opening two research centers aimed at stemming substance abuse and the work of the Adelson Medical Research Foundation, established to combat life-threatening illnesses.

The Veterans of Foreign Wars group blasted Trump for his comments, calling them "asinine."

[MN-Skeptic]

Trump is currently speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania and I'm watching a few folks tweeting about it.

A couple of comments -

Trump loves to complain about how he was running against Biden and all of a sudden he's now running against Harris, and how he spent so much money running against Biden. But that's the problem when you're campaign is based on denigrating your opponent. If Trump had been running on his fantastic record and everything he had accomplished and how much more he will do for the country in the next four years, it wouldn't have mattered who his opponent was. But that's not Trump.

From today's rally: "A tariff is a tax on a foreign country. A lot of people like to say it’s a tax on us. No… It’s is a tax that doesn’t affect our country." I really don't think he gets it.

[MN-Skeptic]

Trump asks his crowd: "...would that be okay, North Carolina?"

He's speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania.

A great summary of Trump's speech today from Art Candee. Because it's so long, I'm going to put it in a spoiler tag, but I suggest you check it out. It's very entertaining.

@ArtCandee
Yikes. Yet another trainwreck Trump rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

Let’s recap it:

He showed up 38 mins late. I think he was watching Tim Walz’ rally backstage.

He had problems saying what I think was supposed to be “communist Kamala” right off the bat. “Commanana.”

He’s whining that he’s running against VP Harris and not Biden.

He said “Joe Biden hates her.” False.

He calls Kamala’s father a “Marxist.”

He says VP Harris will be “easier to beat.” Keep telling yourself that, old man.

He’s claiming he’s the reason why the stock market is going up. After claiming it was going to crash last week. This week was best week of the year, btw.

He had issues saying “says,” “Barrack Hussein Obama,” “insisted” came out “sinsisted,” “present,” “Senate,” “Bezos,” “unspent,” “debt,” “world war,” and at the end of his speech he struggled with “Prenzlyv..” for Pennsylvania.

He says “China is very smart” and praises Xi.

Babbling about Venezuela.

He tries slamming VP Harris, “she gots caught up in her own words. She’s not a very good wordsmith.” Looks like DonOLD just “gots caught up in” his own words. Karma.

He’s done calling Jake Tapper “Fake Tapper” because of the debate and calls him by his name.

He doesn’t seem to know Tim Walz’ name still.

Disparaging Jewish Democrats again.

He claims there will be “nothing but riots” in Chicago for the DNC.

He whines and tries to cope because people say he “rambles.” In the process, he’s rambling and calls himself “a rally smart guy.” Uh. No.

Funny considering he thinks he’s in North Carolina, despite being in Pennsylvania.

The crowd is stunned.

He thinks “We are a nation in decline. We are a failed nation” is a “beautiful phrase.” No. It’s unpatriotic, ya douche.

He claims the world respected him. No. They laughed him outta the UN and NATO.

He rambles about Emmanuel Macron and tries to do a French accent a couple times. It’s weird and it sounds Indian. Bro isn’t ok.

He brings up Sofia Loren and I can’t stop laughing because people have chosen “Sofa Loren” as JD Vance’s drag name.

He says he’s “a better looking person than Kamala…I’m better looking than she is.” WTAF?! Bro is cooked. His ass can’t even fit in his golf shirts to pretend to be the president anymore.

He gloats about SCOTUS blocking student debt relief.

People in the crowd are totally checked out. They’re texting, fanning themselves, and slumped over.

He’s claiming VP Harris wants to have 27 justices. Someone give this man his meds. Not like they work though.

He thinks criticizing SCOTUS is illegal. He gloats about judge Cannon, and whining about himself and his court cases.

The crowd is bored to tears. Many people’s eyes are glazing over. Some people are texting. I don’t blame them.

He brings up a Venezuelan on stage. What is his obsession with that country?

Crowd is even more bored.

He claims he’s been in Washington for “a very long time.” He only went when he was elected and recently went back for the first time since we fired him.

Nuclear war fear mongering.

Ocean levels rising will give you “slightly more beachfront property.” Has NOBODY corrected this senile fart yet?! FFS!

Back to crying about Biden.

He’s saying nobody will watch the DNC Convention. Sure, gramps.

He said “our country is going to die.”

He’s bragging about how important Space Force is. I’m snort laughing.

There are now TONS of empty seats. People have left this snooze fest early.

Lying about oil and gas production time.

He’s bragging about cutting regulations. Let’s go, cancer clusters!

Lying about “building hundreds of miles of wall.” He admits Mexico didn’t pay for it by saying he took the money from the military budget.

Crying about Kamala copying “no tax on tips,” which he copied from Democrats and Ron Paul.

He said “Border Czar Harris are coming from the worst places.” She came from California, bro, and she’s only one person.

Continued… 1/2

------------------------------

He called migrants “savage monsters.” Rich coming from a rapist.

Back to Venezuela talk again. What is his obsession?!?!?

He says migrant children are stealing children’s “seats” in schools and that American kids aren’t “getting educated” because they’re “considered secondary citizens.” What a crock of sh*t.

He’s gonna stop the WWIII he’s been claiming is coming for almost a decade.

He’s crying about the Taliban. You know, those 5000 people he freed and wanted to invite to Camp David.

Again with the lie that you can steal $950 worth of stuff in California and “nothing happens.” I hope we see a lot of locked up MAGA soon.

He’s lying and saying the Olympic boxers are “transitioned men.” I hope they sue the eff out of him! Vile azzhole keeps referring to the women as “him.”

Back to saying he was “indicted for you…I’m just standing in their way.”

He seems sad he didn’t put Hillary Clinton in prison.

He claimed democrats “rigged the election in 2020,” that we’re gonna do it again, and if he loses “there won’t be a country anymore…we’re gonna fight, fight, fight, for our country.”

He knows he’s losing. He’s riling up the psychos.

And we need to get out and vote in such overwhelming numbers that the results can’t be challenged!!!!

2 of 2.
