Another day, and more bizarre and insulting comments from the deranged and demented 34x felon:

“I watched Sheldon sitting so proud in the White House when we gave Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom,” Trump said on Thursday evening. “That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump added, referring to the highest military honor given for valor in combat.“But civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead,” Trump continued. “She gets it, and she’s a healthy, beautiful woman, and they’re rated equal, but she got the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and she got it for — and that’s through committees and everything else.”

Veteran GOP pollster Frank Luntz said on CNBC yesterday that he has never seen a change like what’s happening in his entire 40yr career. He said that he “can’t find any undecided female under 27 because they no longer exist” and “lukewarm” Trump voters are now undecided. He thinks if these trends keep up, the Dems will sweep.

meanwhile, TFG held another bizarre news “conference” ranting about Tic Tacs, Harris being on Time Magazine, birds dying because of windmills and god knows whatever else. His campaign is literally skidding off the rails and he can’t get off his greatest hits.

watching congressional hearings and listening to the pro-abortion lady telling congress that abortion up to the moment before birth is okay, is just about the grossest words I have heard from another human being

No idea what you’re talking about, but what does that have to do with anything? States that are pro-choice usually ban abortions after 23 weeks, so what’s your point?

And I’d counter that the Republicans who wanted to force that 10-year old who was raped to carry her baby to term was the grossest thing ever.

Abortion rights are officially on the ballot in Arizona

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign reached out to Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign to arrange a meeting about a possible role in her administration if he drops out of the race and endorses her, a Kennedy campaign official and a Democratic official told CNN.

Harris is wisely ignoring him.

Because he's been stiffing cities where he holds rallies for the cost of extra police and staff, the city of Asheville NC forced his campaign to pay $82k up front, where he booked a teeny 2,400 capacity arena (and not the much larger one next door) for this week's rally


TFG also blamed his slurring word salad during the Musk "interview" on "the complexities of modern day equipment and cellphone technology"

Former Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, who left his job 18 months ago to become president of the University of Florida, "resigned" abruptly after claiming his wife's epilepsy was progressing, but it turns out he was milking taxpayers dry by hiring his former Senate staffers to lucrative work from home positions that sometimes were double or triple the previous employee's salary. Sasse's President's Office spending ballooned to $17.3m in his first 12 months, up from $5.6m under his predecessor. He employed 30, compared to his predecessor's 10.Travel expenses soared to $633k, 20x higher than his predecessor.

Seems being "fiscally conservative" was just Kabuki Theater while he was in the Senate, as once he personally got his hands on the dough, it was like a Roman orgy. Typical Republican!

LOL - Elon Musk was supposed to host an interview with TFG today that ended up being delayed 45 minutes because he fired all his engineers. He then claimed it was a Denial of Service attack, which many instantly denied because the rest of Twitter was working

Prison overcrowding may be the way to get Trump into prison. There are so many crowds of people there, Donald, you should go there right away. He'll probably surrender voluntarily.

Trump always focuses on the most important issues....most important to him that is.

It's such a brilliant campaign strategy to see Harris and Walz baiting Trump into talking about crowd size while he fails to realize that the more he talks about it the more he reveals his insecurity about it and makes himself an even bigger butt of the joke. It's hilarious that Trump doesn't even realize that he is being distracted from the real issues because he thinks that the topic of crowd size is of the utmost importance.

Former House Speaker (R) Kevin McCarthy said, “Stop questioning the size of her crowds.” LOL.

The Republicans are not happy about Kamala Harris bumping Trump off the cover of Time Magazine this month.

This Kamala fake crowd conspiracy is the most obvious sign of Trump's failing mental faculties yet. Unreal.
