If you can get to the end of this weird freewheelin' spiel about electric boats, sharks and fishermen, you might wonder why the people who yearn for an America of the 17th century don't rely on the Mayflower solution -use sails.
Donald Trump's Brain 'Malfunctioned' Amid His 'Incoherent' Rant About Sharks, Boats, Batteries and Water at Las Vegas Rally: Watch (msn.com)
Heather Cox Richardson, particularly good from 08.34. Yes, the outcome of the election is still uncertain, and yes he is so erratic that he may even sabotage his own agenda, and the Supreme Court handing over rights to the States is surely one of the key long term problems for social policy. But we also need more debate -not just in the US- on cryptocurrency, given the nexus of billionaires who want it (eg Peter Thiel) and who are close to the Trump-Vance Olympics of Lies.
Compelling stuff
Star historian issues STUNNING WARNING about Trump (youtube.com)
I don't think this even gets close to the man's image of himself. So why doesn't he just announce to the world that he is the greatest and more important and most popular person who has ever lived on Planet Earth?
"The highly overrated Jewish Governor of the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, made a really bad and poorly delivered speech talking about freedom and fighting for Comrade Kamala Harris for President, yet she hates Israel and will do nothing but make its journey through the complexities of survival as difficult as possible, hoping in the end that it will fail.
"Trump added: "Yet Shapiro, for strictly political reasons, refused to acknowledge that I am the best friend that Israel, and the Jewish people, ever had. I have done more for Israel than any President, and frankly, I have done more for Israel than any person, and it's not even close."".
Donald Trump Tears Into 'Highly Overrated Jewish Governor' Josh Shapiro - Newsweek
Anyone want to start a list of people who did something for Israel and the Jewish People (what, all of them?) even more than The Great Leader, Donald J Trump?
The man and the money. On the one hand success, with playin' cards, on the other hand the stock of Truth Social is headed in only one direction, and it ain't up -yet as usual he may turn this failure into a couple of billion dollars. Makes you wonder why he bothers with politics.
"“By popular demand, I’m doing a new series of Trump digital trading cards,” he says in a video posted this morning to his Truth Social account (which his newly resurrected account on X has not shared).“These cards show me dancing and even me holding some bitcoins,” he continues, adding that those who buy 15 digital cards will get a physical card mailed to them for free – which will have a piece of the suit he wore at his presidential debate against Joe Biden (which he says is known as the “knockout suit”, because it indeed proved disastrous for the Democrat’s campaign) sewn into it.
“We’ll be talking about it for a long time,” the former president promises at the video’s end."

"Meanwhile, Trump is likely also getting ready to offload his 114 million TMTG shares — roughly 60 percent of the company's outstanding stock — as soon as next month. The six-month lockup period determined by the SEC is set to expire as soon as September 20, clearing the way for Trump to pull out.
As Quartz reports, Trump could make upwards of $2 billion, a hefty sum — but a fraction of what he could've gotten away with earlier this year, before the price inevitably crashed.
The selloff, however, could prove devastating to investors who somehow still haven't jumped ship. Shares have been on a rollercoaster ride, plummeting to record lows this month. If Trump were to sell, shares would likely continue their freefall."

"The former president on Tuesday “reTruthed” a response to a photo of the women smiling side by side that read: “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…”"
Trump shares MAGA supporter’s disgusting remark about Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton | The Independent
One wonders what role blow jobs have played in the marriage of American, or immigrant women, to rich men. Perhaps we should be told.
That the comment is disgusting but has not been the lead item on the news is further indication of what the US has lost. Decency.
Like using the graves of fallen soldiers as a photo opportunity in an election campaign.
"Donald Trump told ally Mark Levin that he had “every right” to interfere with the 2020 election in comments aired on Fox News on Sunday."

I don't understand why Trump is never challenged on this by his interviewers, who could at least ask him to cite whichever law it is that gives the President of the US the right to decide the outcome of elections. As far as i know, the Constitution, and probably every State election law, gives the President no role at all, while the attempt to prevent Congress from completing its business, as on Jan 6th 2021, is defined as Sedition. Trump and others should have been arrested at the time, and had they been, we might not be listening to the garbage dressed up as reason that is Trump whining on and on about an election he lost.
But then the rules on the conduct of people -all people- in Arlington is documented and known, so how Trump could even allow a photographer to be present begs the questions, but hey, rules and laws apply to everyone except him, innit?
The more Donald-The Orange Rambling Clown-Trump talks the he incriminates himself. And the stunt he pulled at Arlington National Cemetery was despicable,disgusting and disrespectful to people who served in the armed forces and their families.Quote:

During the Republican primaries, the group made crude videos of Nikki Haley as a prostitute and Casey DeSantis, the wife of Ron DeSantis, as a pornographic actor. It also created a video of Biden as a pedophile. The group was behind a video that Trump retweeted in May hailing his return to power with a mock newspaper headline proclaiming the “Creation of a Unified Reich”.Trump has worked closely on these productions, “privately communicated with members of the meme team, giving them access and making specific requests for content”, according to the New York Times."

Also a pungent critique of Trump's misogyny, which he shares with too many supporters inside and outside his Party.

""Nobody can draw crowds like me... I'm the greatest of all time, maybe greater even than Elvis," the former president said."Elvis had a guitar, I don't have a guitar. I don't have the privilege of a guitar," he told a rally in New York."".
