Originally published at: Trump Spent The Weekend Showing Exactly Who He Is
A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Sign up for the email version. As Clear A Referendum As Ever Could Be Donald Trump slogged through the final weekend of his third presidential campaign as the Republican Party nominee demonstrating in blatant ways nearly every facet of the misbegotten…
Quote Of The Day
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA): “It doesn’t make you a man to pick on trans or gay kids. It just makes you an asshole.”
I just wanted to read it again
Everyone tell your MAGA neighbors that the lines at the polls will be much shorter Wednesday morning. Almost no waiting…
I voted early on Friday here in Chicago. My nerves were shot, but at least that made me feel like I could do something.
Now I wait.
DK in the MM:
“It wasn’t that long ago that the most persistent challenge Republicans in public life presented to reporters, watchdogs, and the sanctity of the English language was disguising their unpopular, often cruel, and elaborately expensive policy preferences under layers of double talk, misdirection, and word play. With Trump it is all undisguised. Perhaps we can count that as small blessing.”
Yes, not sure if that is a blessing but as I wrote yesterday…it’s all lies now, all the time. Naked lies from every part of the R spectrum. Chump started it in 2015…and the Rs slowly have given up on the ‘disguising’ stuff to the point now where the lying just comes unfiltered from every R, top to bottom. We will see if a nation can fight for oxygen in such a smothering, suffocating blanket of lies…and if one party can subsist on lies, and lies alone.
This is worse than waiting for a biopsy result.
At least we have a chance of surviving cancer.
Voted here in Texas and I’m hoping the reality based Texans (yes, they exist) will come out tomorrow as well and at least get rid of Ted Cruz.
I must read carefully in the morning: I thought the headline said, “Showing His Ass” (but same thing).
Trump finishes in Grand Rapids, home of the Gerald Ford Museum. Gerald Ford was one of the least trumpian republicans in my long life time.
I had the same words run thru my head.
First MM in two weeks, was on vacation and unplugged. Other than the simulated bean job (and BTW, it looks like he knows what he’s doing there), what did I miss? Reading headlines, one might think the fat fuck were actually going to win.
It’s not just you, or even just Americans. The entire world is feeling like it’s waiting for a biopsy result.
" * More purges: Conservative group’s ‘watch list’ targets federal employees for firing violence, the WaPo reports."
FIFY.
NOBODY should be fooled.
They look like they want to take your car keys away.
The anxiety is writ large in their eyes. And it isn’t due to Haitians.
He mimed stroking and fellating a microphone on a rally stage in Milwaukee.
He was mimicking Lindsey Graham.
“We are doing this because we love you.”
