I just want to point out that Vandalia, Ohio has about 16,000 people. The local news said it occurred in the local high school. So, I guess they weren't expecting big crowds.

That limp noodle said erection and then followed with throttle. He said that and then gave a posturing look as if the crowd was going to have some words or boos.

Could it be that Trump’s White House doesn’t send Rubio and the First /Second Ladies out to campaign because they themselves are afraid their Das ICE-stapo will arrest them because…well…hue?!?

Isn't Trumps base going to say that his words surrounding bombing two major cities a joke? Let's face it – there is a certain type of person who does speak like this and joke as Trump does!

Trump could very well have meant to say the war with Iran was 'a very small price to pay' to prevent them from getting nukes that could destroy LA and San Diego. But he didn't say that. The reason he didn't say that is more alarming than actually saying what he said. Trump is suffering pre dementia exhibited by an inability to articulate intention or meaning. Reasoned thoughts become scrambled or jumbled in his brain and he's losing the ability to speak in a coherent manner. It is a neurological defect affecting SOME geriatric folk. If you think Biden was bad in the revealing debate with Trump in 2024 just watch how bad Trump becomes over the next few months. The grueling high pressure schedule required of a president prevents him from getting the sleep an 81 year old needs to function as well. That is why he's always drifting off to sleep in public. The real problem is having someone like this charge if a real nuclear crisis arises. Have you ever seen a person with dementia in a panic mode?

Clocked it on Cory Booker, same feeling with Hakeem Jeffries 🫥 (praying he does NOT become speaker in January)!
That said, Repugs adopt an entire new personality, name changes & values change while thumping a bible with righteous indignation in pursuit of power…so I'll take the far far far faaaarrrr lesser evil!

In 1980, the PR guy for the rock-theater show I was co-producing decided he wanted to co-manage my band with the soundman, and decided we had something to possibly learn about artistic world domination 😮😅by taking in Lili Riefenstahl's 1935 film record of Hitler's Nuremberg rally, 'Triumph of the Will.' I disagreed fundamentally, but went along to watch it anyway. Albert Speer's staging and art design was everything you'd expect from a – the ultimate – fascist showcase. End of story. We didn't take over the world, nor did my next foray into the field, what I intended to be the pilot for the rest of my life, which was completely shelved as a joint venture with Toronto's Videocabaret when the 1983 mayoral run by the 3-woman writing-performing team, the Hummer Sisters, who lost the race with a relatively respectable 11% of the vote to a man who later became Canada's defense minister 😮🙄 went $50,000 over-budget. I withdrew into music-only collaboration. No moral I'll put forward, but wotevr, mama don't let your babies grow up to be Not-sees. 🖖🏽😉 🗳 💙
