I think it starts off easy, because it’s fun getting together with like-hating individuals; you can just check your brain at the door and enjoy the ride. Eventually, though, the Dear Leader’s wheels fall off and you have either to rationalize being ride or die to stay inside the ever-shrinking circle, or scream that you feel like you’re taking crazy pills and suffer the backlash.
I wonder how many Trumpanzees are having just such an existential crisis today.
Speaking of interviews:
Harris is playing with Trump’s toys in his backyard. She’s more than capable of handling Baier’s loaded questions, and will eat Rogan for lunch. She excels in town hall situations.
I truly hope that we are seeing the Trump campaign collapse in real time. He cannot eschew media hits when Harris is this in his face, and he cannot do media hits when his brain is this addled.

I have been waiting for an update from Limey about Trump media. I haven’t been following it but did notice that he hasn’t been updating us like he had been. That could only mean one thing; the stock is going up sharply in value.
I’m gonna go ahead and take a wild stab and say Not many.
Trump did keep one interview appointment today. He was asked about breaking up Google and he responded by discussing the DOJ suing Virginia over illegal voter roll purges.
We it rains…
More than 200,000 votes were cast in Georgia today on the first day of early voting, shattering the previous record. Pennsylvania’s early and mail-in voting has been very brisk too.
Obviously there is no way of knowing for whom those votes were cast, but a high turnout election is catastrophic for the GOP typically, and Trump especially.
It’s bad for Cruz too (debate tonight at 7pm b.t.dubs).
From up 13% to down more than 11% on the day.
It’s like that old C&W song: Pump and Dump, Again
There’s a real story behind the stock purchasers the last weeks, not that anyone gives a shit anymore in this country. If it turns out to be a bunch of suckers like DWard buying it, I’d be surprised. More likely, it’s a list of heavy hitters wanting favor on the chance he wins.
This is exactly what it is.
Saudis and Russians pumping who is dumping?
Brutal. Nicole Wallace is running the entire 38 minute DJ set by Trump last night in a PIP during her show.
It couldn’t be Trump, because he would have to file paperwork with the SEC and we all know how much of a stickler for the rules he is.
I’ve just got time for one more round
Set 'em up my friend
Then I’ll be gone and you can let some other fool sit down
Amusingly apropos, what?
At last count, earlier this afternoon, the vote total in GA was over 250,000 with long lines still waiting to vote at polling stations.
One of those early votes is for sure for Harris, because it was cast by one James Earl Carter Jr.
Glad to see you survived the hurricanes, JBM. With the way your mouth hangs open I thought you might have drowned.
Debate coming up. All aboard the Transphobic Express!
30 seconds in and I want to punch Cruz’ face.
First question: abortion.
Cruz doesn’t answer. Allred responds. Mods ask Cruz to answer. Cruz runs away from the question like it’s a winter storm.
“When Cruz says he’s ‘pro-life’ he doesn’t mean yours!” - Allred with the sack.
