What's left of his brain is stuck in the 1990s, when news media was unidirectional.
If you wanted to complain that a story was untrue, the best you could do was write a letter to the editor (that they wouldn't print) or call the news station (where a receptionist would put you on hold then refer you to voicemail). If you were famous enough every utterance would go unchallenged.
Thirty-plus years later, and he still thinks he can just say whatever whenever, without challenge.
"Thirty-plus years later, and he still thinks he can just say whatever whenever, without challenge."
And he is correct.
The failure of the alphabet-abled lawn ornaments to SHUT HIM UP! (my new chant – Lock Him Up having obviously and inevitably failed) is on them not him. Once he seizes back an 'exchange' and gets rolling again, the only way to handle it intelligently is either ramp up your own mike and shout him down (my preference) or turn off his mike. Just sitting there like frozen yoghurt as he steals all the airtime is a tactic, designed to enable him but actually and always working only to make the immoderators look like the ineffectuals they are.
He did fine for himself and his coven. Harris...meh. ABC...wide-eyed headlight-deer...as the rest of the formerly free press mongers yet alive silently rejoice that THEY were not the ones in their colleagues' seats.
Yes, he's unable to imagine a son's committing crimes _not_ on the order or with the intimate connivance of his father—true for two generations for him.
Of course he hated his VP. It wasn't just the failure of J6. Trump can't imagine the world existing without him, and the VP is living proof that the rest of the world easily imagines it.
Trump had Pence foisted upon him, for the evangelical vote. Now that he has them cemented in, he can pick who he (or more properly, Uday and Qusay) wants.
He doesn't seem to love Vance though, just like he doesn't seem to love Uday or Qusay (lol) -- three sons (actual or metaphorical) who never measure up to the level of smarts, manliness, and charisma that he sees when he looks in a mirror.
Hey! Apparently I'm the only one crazy enough to still be up. It sounds like Harris was reasonable and mature and Lumpy Shit President was batshit insane, so fire up the sanewasher.
It is really obvious that Grampaw has cooked his own brain, because the scenario does sound like an incident that several on the Left were upset about when Harris was in the primaries. While she was Attorney General, she was involved in denying gender-affirming healthcare to an trans state prison inmate. In all likelihood, this inmate was Black or Latina, therefore making her an illegal immigrant in TFT's mind.
Oppo research, MAGA style, taking a case from Harris's California AG record. It's natch for the fauxtrage to be extra crazified through a brain/mouth in the habit of doing their thing for the fans alone.
I see Parker Molloy, posted below by SteveB, is more to the point about where Tubby's rant came from. CNN performed its job of catapulting MAGA fauxtrage.
Thing is, this is FEDERAL LAW, that people in custody must be provided with health care. So the story is "Harris Would Follow Law", and law-following is a novelty for Tubby, for sure.
Has anyone in federal custody ever received gender-transition care? Who cares, CNN is too lazy to check.
Couple of things: Taylor Swift's timing can only be described as viciously ruthless. I approve.
Also, I loved that Rod Dreher, the weirdest weirdo who ever weirded, conceded Harris won the debate. When you've lost Rod Dreher... you know you've entered the Twilight Zone.
Those tapes should be sealed in an iron trunk, bound with chains, and buried *underneath* the Mariana Trench. Nobody wants to know that shit....{shudder}.
YOU STUPID MF’ers JUST GOT TRUMP TO REPEAT YOUR LIE ABOUT THE PETS. CONGRATS ON SETTING THE NEWS STORIES TOMORROW BY LYING SO TRUMP PICKS IT UP AND SAYS STUPID SHIT.
This was sublime, pure Art. May it just be first of many Son of Erick meltdowns.
What I'm not sure EE sees or at least admits is he's basically acknowledging everyone knows Trump is an idiotic puppet with no grasp of facts or reality who will just regurgitate the latest spew from the rightwing swamps.
Reminder: he's a former Macon, Georgia city council member (which body no longer exists), who quit his makework job (appointed, not elected) to go be a full-time bigot.
Apparently WaPo was doing a live debate interview with undecided voters, and their reactions were "who?" "who?" and "who?" Trump is so used to his twitter boosters/rally crowds he's completely lost sight of the fact normies are not terminally online.
I thought she made him look like a monkey, and not just because he already looks like one, and smells like one too, but that rich boy smirk had to do a LOT of heavy lifting--especially when she told him that Putin would eat him for lunch.
Simma down, Roy. She did fine and his closing summation was a drunken monologue about the end of the world. I wish she had said, "That's a lie" more often. Her line about Putin eating his lunch was a nifty bit of dagger-wielding. His inability to say he wanted Ukraine to win was visible to every eye. Walz, on MSNBC, when asked if he thought Harris should have any more debates with Trump, said something like, "I wish they had one every day," and we laughed and laughed... (People fantasized Steve Martin to play him on SNL, but I'm thinking Beau Bridges.)
Rachel et al praised the moderators, but I wasn't buying it. They called Trump on his lies maybe three times, tops, which is to say, they missed the other 9,997. And, like a regular Jake Tapper, thanked him. uck-fay at-thay, is my view.
See, I'm a big believer in letting him talk, at least when he's having a night like tonight. Let him roll with his freak flag flying high. When every sentence -- I'm being kind to his word salad -- makes normal folks think "oh jesus, not this asshole again" I don't worry about the mods or who had more speaking time. Give the crazy man rope.
The abortion stuff came early, while many were still watching, and his refusal to say he would veto a ban was, imho, real bad. Especially with all the news the last couple of days of the ratfucking of state referendums by the GOP. We’re all seeing what “throwing it back to the states” means.
I completely agree with you on his dodging on signing a ban into law, but I'm not certain all that many people know about the way GOP legislatures/judges/SoSs are doing their best to make sure none of the abortion referendums go to the voters (after Kansas, they'd be crazy to do that). I'm fairly certain that the SCoTUS knew that would be what would happen, and, when asked about that, will just go "huh..." and smirk.
Recent polling has South Dakota's Constitutional right to an abortion amendment leading 53-35. This is a big increasr since last November when it was 46-44
Apparently the needle on the reaction-o-meter, or whatever they call it when they give the control group watching the debate buttons to push, went off the dial on that exchange. In a positive direction for Harris and a negative one for Trump.
Hello, all you night owls. I'm in WA state and it's only 9:30. I've never heard Tubby speak for this long. He does have a sort of horrid fascination but he keeps circling back to the same stuff like there's nothing new or different happening to him--nothing changes his boring obsession with himself. Kamala on the other hand seems to be the right person, in the right place, at the right time rising to the occasion and having a lot of fun and, I hope, with our votes will beat the crap out of him.
This is why his interview with Elon the other day was so awful - it was two irredeemable narcissists yacketing at each other about molecule-thin shallow bullshit. I would say "smoke and mirrors", but it wasn't even THAT substantive.
But the story is the doormatting of the lawn ornaments – their job was to marshall a debate (at least that's what they CALLED that thing – and their output was Nuttin' But Trump. The whole mess was on them.
I admit I couldn't take the heat, and I stayed out of the kitchen. I'll be force-fed highlights for days, anyway. He and the campaign and the party are alll-in on Evil Immigrant Pet-eating Trans Abortion Land. And 45-49% of voters are right there with him. And there's what, 6 weeks to go? How low can you go? Every limbo boy and girl, all around the limbo world.
Because go bed early compared to most, i napped yesterday afternoon; and still dozed off around 8:20. Fortunately I'm keeping my nephew's cat Bentley this week: small, black, chunky, aggressively friendly and extremely loud: and the nutso furball started walking on my head around 9:10...
I listened and didn't watch: and heard something like a celebrity roast where two comics were roasting each other. And the younger comic got real hits on the lumbering former champ trying for a comeback.(yes a mixed metaphor: it's early.)
I wanted Harris to say several things she didn't: but over the spewing of the old hits and some new shit (And the Haitians eating your cats and dogs is truly old racist shit) by Donnie: she won.
In the sane world, this would be
Consequential.
It was nice: now to the heavy lifting : and hammering the Dotard mercilessly.
And reviewing the bits i missed, Himself's attempts to mainstream his Hardcore nonsense were sounding desperate...that there was the minimal fact checking and correcting of his lies(no infanticide!) is encouraging.
More is necessary.
Neutrality in the face of empowered dishonesty is enabling.
One of my brothers is a retired Airline machinist with 30 years in the business. If you want to get him really mad,start up on chemtrails:
"Dang it the whole problem with the airlines is weight: and to think we're adding millions if tons of some imaginary stuff to the fuel, or have secret tanks is soooo stupid! It means I'm part of a conspiracy to.. do what? Drug everyone (including myself) or control the climate? Ignorant trash!!"
He's had a couple of near fist fights, one with a cousin, calling this nonsense out.
Aaaaaaand Trump's on the Rightwing media complaining that the whole thing was rigged; that he won "by a lot;" that the moderators "totally debunked the things I was saying, but didn't correct Harris at all."
While I'm sure Roy or anyone else could have predicted this would be Trump's response, I have to admit that I'm kind of delighted that Trump is openly admitting that most of what he had to say was "totally debunked." Maybe he'll fire Vance after this? Installed RFK jr. to make people stop saying he's weird?
Also: ABC must’ve given her the questions in advance because she was TOO PREPARED. Lessee, running for POTUS and she has ready and rehearsed statements on abortion, Israel, inflation, Ukraine, etc. Fishy. Also, a career prosecutor who spent years making oral arguments in high stakes situation did not show up with her whole ass hanging out. Huh.
Did I miss anything? I mean, I noticed sometime last night that the internet got tired and irritable and took its ball home so we couldn't play anymore...other than that – s'up?
Biden-actually-hates-Harris and the-Central-Park-Five-are-guilty were two weird moments I didn’t see coming.
I think Trump may have committed a little light slander on that one. A lot of lawyers sat up straight.
He said they pled guilty. They most certainly did not.
What's left of his brain is stuck in the 1990s, when news media was unidirectional.

"What's left of his brain is stuck in the 1990s..."
When people knew who Lee Greenwood, Charles in Charge and Hulk Hogan actually fucking were...
I'd love it if the Central Park Five sued him for that.
Get in line, fellas.
Trump hated Pence and "thinks" every President must have hated their VP
Exactly. Always projection. Like that puerile "I'm not doing that, YOU'RE doing that". Works for elementary school playgrounds.
Especially applicable when describing the actions of the Biden Crime Family. I hope the DOJ pays close attention, he’s dishing on his own schemes.
Yes, he's unable to imagine a son's committing crimes _not_ on the order or with the intimate connivance of his father—true for two generations for him.
Of course he hated his VP. It wasn't just the failure of J6. Trump can't imagine the world existing without him, and the VP is living proof that the rest of the world easily imagines it.

They Are Way AHead Of You.
I got "his signature free-wheeling style" on my Bingo card.
Er meh gerd, dubbing Trump with Pendleton Ward as Lumpy Space Princess would be favourite.
(I always enjoyed "Adventure Time"'s willingness to portray actually terrible people at different levels of threat.)

Did anyone else have “She wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens in prison!” on their bingo card?
That was a beautiful trifecta, gotta give it to him.
"We only have the best trifectas."
Everyone knows it.
"People come up to me, come up with a tear in their eye, and say 'Sir'" followed by quotes that only exist in his addled brain.
He casts his eyes at misdirection
Oh me oh my – ain't that trifection
He should have added she wants to force the prison cafeteria to serve cats and dogs, you know, really gone for the trifecta of lunacy.
I think it's a quadrafecta at that point, maybe a quintafecta.
It is really obvious that Grampaw has cooked his own brain, because the scenario does sound like an incident that several on the Left were upset about when Harris was in the primaries. While she was Attorney General, she was involved in denying gender-affirming healthcare to an trans state prison inmate. In all likelihood, this inmate was Black or Latina, therefore making her an illegal immigrant in TFT's mind.
Oppo research, MAGA style, taking a case from Harris's California AG record. It's natch for the fauxtrage to be extra crazified through a brain/mouth in the habit of doing their thing for the fans alone.
This seems to have a good overview of cases that raise valid questions, the gender-affirming care case among them. https://www.themarshallproject.org/2024/07/27/kamala-harris-prosecutor-california-police-election-crime
I see Parker Molloy, posted below by SteveB, is more to the point about where Tubby's rant came from. CNN performed its job of catapulting MAGA fauxtrage.
CNN had that one their bingo card, like they were feeding him talking points:
https://www.readtpa.com/p/cnns-mishandling-of-trans-healthcare
Thing is, this is FEDERAL LAW, that people in custody must be provided with health care. So the story is "Harris Would Follow Law", and law-following is a novelty for Tubby, for sure.
Has anyone in federal custody ever received gender-transition care? Who cares, CNN is too lazy to check.
Did he end with "But she won't put any illegal aliens in prison!"
Well, just for the gender-transitioning surgery, otherwise she lets 'em run free.
Couple of things: Taylor Swift's timing can only be described as viciously ruthless. I approve.
Also, I loved that Rod Dreher, the weirdest weirdo who ever weirded, conceded Harris won the debate. When you've lost Rod Dreher... you know you've entered the Twilight Zone.
We all await birthlessly the Lost Rod Dreher Tapes...said no one, ever...
Those tapes should be sealed in an iron trunk, bound with chains, and buried *underneath* the Mariana Trench. Nobody wants to know that shit....{shudder}.
How big is this trunk? Why stop with the tapes, while Dreher himself is still talking?
I like the cut of your job. Rod at the bottom of the trench....would be a good start.
Rod Dreher = the anti-Swift
Erick Erickson

Like someone left the hamburger out on the counter where the dog could reach it.
If the dog hadn't been eaten by Haitians or shot by Kristi Noem.
yeah was gonna say it ain't easy out there for a dog these days
It's a dog's death...er, life.
Erick Erickson. From a family so poor they could only afford one name.
Reminder: he's a former Macon, Georgia city council member (which body no longer exists), who quit his makework job (appointed, not elected) to go be a full-time bigot.
Ahhhh. Georgia. I did not realize that. Explains a whole lot, right there.
What Tay-Tay says, Tay-Tay gets.
Not sure citing Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Viktor Orban as character witnesses was the best move.
Apparently WaPo was doing a live debate interview with undecided voters, and their reactions were "who?" "who?" and "who?" Trump is so used to his twitter boosters/rally crowds he's completely lost sight of the fact normies are not terminally online.
First off, great Sonny Bono ref.
I thought she made him look like a monkey, and not just because he already looks like one, and smells like one too, but that rich boy smirk had to do a LOT of heavy lifting--especially when she told him that Putin would eat him for lunch.

Yeah, the mods kept giving Tubby the floor -- but he didn't know what to do with it.
He stole a lot of time.
5 minutes
Give a man enough rope...
and if it's hemp, the dolt will put a match to it and try to smoke his way to oblivion...?
See, I'm a big believer in letting him talk, at least when he's having a night like tonight. Let him roll with his freak flag flying high. When every sentence -- I'm being kind to his word salad -- makes normal folks think "oh jesus, not this asshole again" I don't worry about the mods or who had more speaking time.

Life, people. Too Short.
I hope she saves "Putin would drink your milkshake" for Debate 2, Senile Boogaloo.

"We're going to leave it to the states, unless the states decide not to ban, in which case we shall have to do it for them"
Policy, not idle chatter. This is policy.
I completely agree with you on his dodging on signing a ban into law, but I'm not certain all that many people know about the way GOP legislatures/judges/SoSs are doing their best to make sure none of the abortion referendums go to the voters (after Kansas, they'd be crazy to do that).

Sure seems like no matter how you twist it, people of all stripes want the govt out of their reproductive rights.
Ah, but JD told me "normal" people only care about the price of BACON, and would willingly get their tubes tied for a pound of the precious stuff.
Why, thank you. (flutters eyes)
We'll call you next time we're makin' bacon...
Well, he has a concept of a plan on abortion.
Give his girlfriend a coupla hundred bucks and a bus ticket to the clinic?
and a conception of a plan was staring you right in the stitch
"My plan was conceived in a balcony at the Rialto theater"
So THAT'S the news on the Rialto.
Mucking Up The Seats Since 1920!
from elephant tranks to molten brain, right on the money, and thanks especially for "Jill Stein and Putin disguised as an auto parts model." :D
Yeah, that was my favorite too. There's no one like Roy.

No, Trump has renamed him. He's Leon now, Leon Musk. (yes, he did that)

A Chubby Checker reference! At last!

GAAAAH, if that was "45-47%" I could sleep better. But NO, because this is AMERICA.

"Brain and brain, what is brain?" From the episode "Spock's Brain".
I get a kick when they retitle Amok Time as "Spock's Testicles".
Didn't watch it but I knew if I woke up this morning and Tubby was complaining "it was rigged!" that meant Harris won.
