Originally published at: Trump Shows Us What Election Denialism 2.0 Will Look Like - TPM – Talking Points Memo

As he refused to answer questions about whether he’ll accept the results of the 2024 election and avoided acknowledging where he stands on that thorny issue of a peaceful transfer of power, Donald Trump on Thursday painted a rather stark portrait of how exactly he might try to undermine the results of the election if…

Kamala Harris is leading Donald Trump by six points, 53% to 47%, among likely voters, according to a new poll by Marquette Law School.**Among registered voters, 52% said Harris is the choice for president while Trump is the choice of 48%.

Hence the freakout from Mar a Lago today. Wonder how bad his internal polling looks…or what they are letting him see?

Hmm… who was running the Government running up to the 2020 election? I’d start looking for answers there!

We have some of those in our yard. They keep the rabbits in check -sorta - they’ve been a little casual about keeping the numbers down lately.

Saw that. Two women they found - how many did they approach before they got these two knuckleheads?
The whole pay attention to me bullshit.
WTF.

ETA. Gotta ask. Does the WaPo set up a table with a big sign, “Who’s got shit to say about the Dems”.

Just keep on asking until you get the answers you want, which is to say the answers you need to get your story (with the predetermined editorial line) written. It’d almost be more honest to just make the damned quotes up out of whole cloth, but oh no - that’s against journalistic ethics ya see.

Since WaPo and the NYT have been especially bad in their election reporting AND especially whiney about Harris not sitting for an interview with them and Harris has said her staff is working on putting together an interview, I hope she and her staff use that interview to reward whichever MSM outlet is providing the best reporting AND explain in her inimitable prosecutorial style exactly why outlet X was chosen over WaPo and the NYT.

Trump’s superpower is his shamelessness; however, i may be naive, but I think CNN, NYT, WaPo can be shamed into improving.

Trump’s flop sweat and desperation to stay out of jail makes him increasingly unhinged. His cultists are also acting that way, and we all should expect them to lie without restraint about the election.

The only good news is Trump and his corrupt party only control the Supreme Court and not the rest of the federal government. The bad news is the Supreme Court could, in and of itself, stoke unrest if they want to toss aside the remnants of their credibility.

Supreme Court reform is essential.

Well done Vance
JD Vance mocked for ‘Kamala chaos’ stage gaffe in Philly rally (msn.com)
Republican vice presidential candidate and U.S. Senator JD Vance is facing online ridicule after an embarrassing gaffe during a Philadelphia rally on Tuesday.

Vance took the stage at the 2300 Arena to deliver a speech aimed at energizing MAGA supporters. However, the event quickly went south when a stage backdrop meant to read “KAMALA CHAOS” was partially obscured by rallygoers, leaving only the name “KAMALA” visible.

I assume there are also poison pills in the bill to make dems vote no so that repubs can then falsely claim more bullshit. If it makes it to the floor, instead of voting yes, no, etc, every democrat should respond “I vote for (whatever already makes it illegal for non-citizens to vote).” I assume it’s from what is in the 15th amendment, but maybe there is a statute, too?

Via ABC news I saw this

“I’m not a big fan of his brain, but I think that she’s actually not as smart as he is,” he said, bringing up his former opponent, President Joe Biden.

“Well … uh, she’s a woman. She represents certain groups of people," Trump added.

Harris was asked about Trump’s comments later in the day.

“I was too busy talking to voters. I didn’t hear them,” she told reporters.
… … … … … …
In my opinion trump is a complete turd and it’s born out by what I bolded.
Racist
Misogynist
Serial liar
Dumb fuck
These are not characteristics I want in a President.

I think both of those results are outside the margin of error.
