You might say that Trump's enemies list is growing by leaps and bounds.

I've also disagreed with LAMP on occasion, but it never turned into a cage match. We've both been very civil and respectful in our conversations.

Maybe HANS has that Alpha male thing.

She got smart and grew up. It happens that way sometimes.

HANS

If you're trying to be a big fish in a little pond, you're going about it the wrong way. If you want to fight and be vindictive to get attention, then that's the wrong kind of attention.

Yes, that . . . and he revels in the power he has to make people suffer.

On topic:

"because of a bitter personal dispute with the Democratic governor,"

Just consider this lack of humanity a preview of what this country can expect if we elect a sociopath for President.

We saw the same thing from Trump again on January 6 as he watched the suffering of the Capitol Police on January 6.

The man is completely devoid of empathy for anyone but himself.

LAMP

What did you do to get HANS so ticked off?

Personally, I find you a delight.

HANS @ #33

"Posted by LampLighter | Flag: Wants Trump to win."

That's not true. Where in the world is your head?

LAMP is just more optimistically cautious than some, including me. You need to apologize for your failure to do your homework.

"Once an elected Pres Trump . . . '

I'm counting on that never happening.

Once Jack Smith has her removed from the case, Cannon is a nobody in Trump's book and he'll forget he ever owed her anything.

And deservedly so. She acted the fool and she should be treated like one.

If there are any charges that can be brought against her, perhaps for lack of judicial discrimination in her handling of Trump's case, that would also be well deserved.

"And when he croaks we get President Vance. Sigh.

Let's don't borrow trouble. America has always righted its own Ship of State when the chips are down.

Kamala Harris seems to be on a rail straight into the Oval Office while Trump appears to be crashing . . . as though whatever medication he's been on has run its course.

I have some sympathy for his staff who have desperately tried to keep him glued together until after the election. All part of that "exhausted" claim, no doubt, to hide the truth from his well-heeled donors to whom he has made many promises of favoritism.

Trump is on a rail to becoming a vegetable.

REDIAL

It's not uncommon for low class men with Trump's progressive affliction to suddenly intersperse his conversations with crude sexual references.

It only means under the fake facade he has a dirty mind that he can no longer control in public.

With only 11 days to go and no grand finale, it's the kiss of death for a campaign.

Meantime, Kamala Harris is staging her grand finale at the Ellipse for double the effect.

Cannon doesn't fit the mold for a Trump Supreme Court Justice. Namely, she's a woman. There are a lot of other "men" in Trump's sphere of greedy double dealers who are more susceptible to bribes.

She may not even be that useful to him if he loses this election. Jack Smith has a good case for removing her. In that case, Trump will toss her in his trash pile of failed lawyers.

LEGALLY

I always suspect the checks from the troll farms are late when it starts to look like they're throwing good money after bad.

Harris is on a roll and Trump is mentally disintegrating at warp speed right before our very eyes. The plan to keep him glued together until after the election has failed.

Trump is a user and an abuser. He has a habit of using people and then tossing them aside when they're no longer useful to him. If Trump is elected, Cannon could very well get tossed aside. In the grand scheme of turning this country into a fascist dictatorship, she isn't very important.

HUGH

If that's the case, they're taking an awful lot for granted with so little evidence to collateralize the risk.

Harris has run a spectacular campaign, comparatively speaking. And has spent probably a hundred times more money, if that counts for anything.

Now, for the icing on top of the cupcake, Harris has announced that her closing speech will be held at a rally at, you guessed it . . the Ellipse.

Sort of like "here's rubbing your nose in it, bozo."

It's a brilliant strategy.

Aileen Cannon.

This also called sleeping your way to the top ~ without getting the sheets messy.

Schedule change.

Trump needs his beauty sleep.

'He trying to lie to the people'

That sounds like the story of Trump's life.

DOC

Just for a joke one time I asked the RNC to lend me some gas money so I could get back and forth to work and that put me on their dunning list for $10 - $20 - $50 - $100 bucks.

A MONSON

I did say "many years ago" and I distinctly remember it was McDonalds. I don't know if Wendys was around my area at that time because, if they were, I never went to any of their restaurants. I do remember my stomach churning every time I saw those golden arches. I also remember the announcement by McDonalds that they were no longer using what they called "high protein fillers" in their meat products.

I'm sure the scandal has been long forgotten by now. I just never trusted them again.

I quit McDonalds many years ago when I earned that they were farm growing high protein worms for filler in their burgers.

Leave it to Trump to only worry about himself.

Just a guess but I wonder if the thousands of people who were completely wiped out by Hurricane Helene have more to worry about right now than an election.

Like food, water and a roof over their head.

At least George W tried to privatize it. Trump will go one better and get rid of Social Security altogether. He hates social programs. The less for everybody else, the more for the GOP's future oligarchs.
