Then that so-called blood was just a packet of ketchup?

If Trump is elected, I think we can expect to see members of the Kremlin moving into their new suite of office space in the West Wing.

All highly paid by taxpayer dollars, I might add. The shorter version is that U.S. citizens will be paying their own captors.

I don't blame Trump's handlers. I'm sure they tried. But so far, no one has been able to convince him that he's NOT the smartest person in the room. It was apparent to me that Trump entered that debate thinking he could just 'wing it.'

WOMP, womp (sad trombone)

The GOP is also a Russian asset. They sat back for years and watched (assisted) Trump carry out their mission to turn democracy into an autocracy ~ a one-party rule forever ~ without uttering a peep of resistance and, in fact, joined forces with the Heritage Foundation AND the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, to draw the blueprint (Project 2025) of America's future under their draconian autocratic rule, with Russia being one of the prime beneficiaries.

So it isn't just Trump. Russian assets also include the Heritage Foundation and Chief Justice Roberts' U.S. Supreme Court.

There may be others. We won't know until we see it unfold . . . if Trump is elected.

Melania's stand-in?

Naw, Trump and Loomer probably just had a few things they needed to get coordinated. Mainly, how she can help Trump spin his way out of Tuesday's disaster, if that's even possible.

Harris skunked him really good.

That image will no doubt be indelible for the rest of his campaign.

A catfight?

Meh! Small potatoes.

The real fights will begin when Trump loses the election, and his allies start eating their own.

Some will hang in there . . . and some will be the first ones on a lifeboat.

As Trump's wingman, J.D. Vance is doing his best to distract viewers from Trump's disastrous debate performance. And again, he's falling flat on his face, spouting things that we know are lies.

Speaking of whom, I wonder if it has dawned on Vance yet that dictators have no use for a second banana.

AU

"there is absolutely no doubt she cleaned his clock."

There is also no doubt Harris put the entire GOP into a tailspin.

Even some Republicans in Congress are starting to grow a pair.

Trump's already passing the tin cup around for loose change from his supporter. He might have to resort to free tarmacs and empty airport hangers for his rallies.

"Dismayed" is hardly the word.

My guess is Vladimir Putin is devastated after watching his legacy just go up in smoke.

Maybe Trump's full-frontal display of ignorance and buffoonery on Tuesday night made some Republican congress critters start questioning how much longer he's going to be around.

I guess Speaker Johnson hasn't figured it out yet. Trump has been using him like a rented mule.

Good for Tucson, Arizona. Maybe they will set a trend for all the other cities Trump has stiffed.

Change the rules.

"No one has ever so thoroughly dominated Donald Trump."

Oh yeah? Wait till Jack Smith gets hold of him.

Trump likes to brag that everything he does is the biggest the world has ever seen.

Now he can add losing that debate to his list.

AU

"Trump yelling, "they're eating the dogs!!"

Trump said he wasn't worried about this debate. That he had a big surprise for her. (hint, hint)

I wonder . . . is that the bombshell Trump claimed (pre-debate) was going to wipe the Harris campaign off the map?

DANNI

"He should have to answer a question about that tonight."

Dream on. Trump never answers questions that puts him in a box. He just dissolves into an unrelated puddle of jibber-jabber and ---------- and, when challenged, claims that (un-named) English professors told him he's a genius.

Trump went into his "weave" when he didn't want to answer a question.

E1G1

"Will President Harris do anything about it?"

Give President Harris a new Senate that isn't worried sick that Trump might start a rumor mill to ruin their lives and, when the opportunity arises, she'll nominate squeaky clean Justices who have more integrity than this current batch of Trumpian lapdogs and grifters.

In the meantime, I'd welcome a serious investigation (with subpoena powers) to uncover the breadth and volume of the grifting and, with evidence of guilt, lead the guilty party(s) to impeachment.

I'd also like to see the IRS get involved with an eye out for tax evasion charges.

These terrorists would have nothing to worry about. Under a Trump administration they'll be released, with his blessing, to not just carry on, but to double down without fear of prosecution.

State run media under a Trump administration will call them true patriots and award them Medals of Freedom. (His "freedom" to do anything he pleases to weaken America to the point of submission)

If Trump is President, he'll also shut down liberal sites like the one we're using right now.

Trump, A dictator with no guardrails, will be like a raging bull in a China shop. Anybody who exercised their rights in this current democracy will be running for their lives. Free Speech will become a distant memory.

Think it can't happen in America? LOL - Vote for Trump and find out. Just remember, there aren't any do-overs. Dictators make sure of that.

So, who is this Princess Gloria von Thurm of Germany?

Well, it's courtesy title so let's just say she married well, has a ton of money and. as a businesswoman, she has her finger in a few pies.

The jury is still out on what she got, or expected to get, in return for $900 concert tickets or if that was just a small part of the whole package deal with Alito.

We don't know the questions but we do know Trump.

He talks nonsensical jibberish, Kamala talks common sense and honesty.

That should cinch it.

TOR

Treason?

But he immune. Remember?

AU

"He doesn't pay."

Certainly not with his own money.

What do you think all those fundraisers are for? I know it's hard to believe but Trump still has a couple wealthy supporters who think they're going to cash in when he gets elected. Koch Industries, for example, is still paying him big time because they think he going to get rid of the EPA. Koch and their pulp mills are the third largest polluter in the U.S. They've been paying out hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines every year.

It ain't a whole lot but the couple million or so a month he rakes in keeps the wolf away from the door ~ at least moment by moment.

Dark days are ahead for Trump if he loses this election.
