"Trump doubles down on mentally impaired' attack at Harris despite Republican backlash over dark speech': Live

Donald Trump repeated his "mentally impaired" attack on Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday, even after multiple Republicans rebuked the rhetoric.

The former president told a crowd of supporters, again, that Harris was "born mentally impaired" " the same line Trump used during a "dark" rally speech just one day earlier.

Though the crowd chucked at the ableist rhetoric, others have criticized Trump for invoking the insensitive remark. Former Governor Larry Hogan called it "insulting" and "something we can do without" on Sunday morning.

Senator Lindsey Graham and Representative Tom Emmer both urged the former president to focus on Harris's policies instead.

The Harris campaign taunted Trump for refusing to debate the vice president for a second time by airing an ad in the middle of the Alabama v. Georgia football game which Trump attended.

"If you've got something to say, say it to my face," Harris said in the ad."

Speaking of 'zero clue', rofl!

Obsessed with a criminal traitor like Trump is no way to go through life.

1Nut is wrong as per usual.

- Duh?

Finally, a post with your real 'thinking'.

Some Republicans have their priorities straight; Country over Party.

Others obfuscate for Trump no matter what.

Wow... that's almost as bad as Vance being The Worst VP Candidate in Modern History.

Not to mention him being the idiot stooge of billionaire Peter Thiel, who, before he was bought and paid for, called Trump, "worse than Hitler".

"Take a look at the recent national polls. The CNN/SSRS poll out this week found Harris leading the former president 50% to 46% among senior citizens.

Our survey is not an outlier. The average poll has Harris up by 3 points over Trump among seniors.

This is a marked turnaround from before Biden dropped out of the race in July and from the final estimates from 2020.

Both the polling average from earlier this year and the post-election findings from 2020 had Trump up by 4 points over Biden among voters who were 65 or over."

There's more seniors than young people, and they vote more.

What we had was the Guilded Age of American Oligarchy which Trump and his billionaire buddies want to recreate.

What they gave us was the Great Depression and 2 World Wars.

Thanks, but no thanks.

He's just jealous after all the hard werk he's put into being an ---- idiot.

I will say this though, HeffytheB REALLY knows how to pick the bestest candidates, rofl.

Trumpers are faking character, integrity, lawfulness, and patriotism on a daily basis.

All the people around Trump's J6 fiasco of an insurrection plan are going to prison, or are being ruined financially through their criminal efforts to overturn the Election... which, of course, Trump's sycophant's will claim he himself had nothing to do with.

Mark Meadows and John Eastman, Ginni Thomas and dozens of other co-conspirators will already be in prison when he finally gets there.

"Trying to absorb costs instead risks putting pressure on jobs.

Although a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper finds that Trump's trade war in 2018 to 2019 had little impact on jobs in protected sectors, retaliatory tariffs did have a clear negative effect.

This time, however, his tariff agenda and the potential for a backlash on US exporters is significantly stronger. Then again, his plan would certainly free up time for American diplomats, as allies stop returning their calls.

As for paying for income and corporate tax cuts, another PIIE estimate suggests that even a 50 per cent tariff on all imports would not be enough to cover their estimated $5.8tn cost.

Indeed, high tariffs encourage importers to shift to alternate suppliers, and exporters to divert to other markets.

But Trump likes the idea of an "all tariff policy" that eliminates the need for income taxes.

That is a concept more befitting of the mercantilist global economy of several centuries past, when trade was less established and states were smaller.

The upshot?

Trump's plan would raise the deficit and inflation. So much for cheaper groceries."

"Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this.

The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently.

We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites.

The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives.

They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal.

We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end.

One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.

The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me."

George Orwell, 1984

"Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing."

"For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable " what then?"

George Orwell, 1984

'Member when NOT being a criminal traitor like her opponent would have been enough for most Republicans to vote for a person for the highest office in the land?

Perhaps you could translate 29 and 30 to Mandarin and get a clue...

He's promised to let us know when she becomes a criminal traitor like his cult leader.

Can't trust him theses days, though.

In the meantime, all he's got is whining about her interviews, lmao.

Remembering Maggie Smith's Incredible Life and Career in Photos

- Lying to the American people has consequences.

Apparently one can still become a cult leader that way.

Patriotic Republicans... who don't spend their time on blogs making excuses for Trump and attacking the only alternative.

- It's absurd.

Then it should have been easy for you to make a counterargument to the points made in the article... oh, wait, attention troll.

Never mind.

A 1 minute video made just for you...

It's about 100 miles sw of me, headed to a point halfway between Perry and Tallahassee.

We'll get a few hours of rain and wind from the band moving through around 8 or 9 PM.

Keeping the Rubes stupid has long been a top Republican priority... might as well start them out young, I s'pose.
