Trump’s con game is unraveling.

Trump opened by going right to those folks he asked, “What the hell do you have to lose?” I was surprised he didn’t mention criminal justice reform and black unemployment since they have become part of his greatest hits list.

Criminal records? He ran the fear mongering script about the thousands of violent crimes committed by “illegals” but never mentioned the couple million traffic tickets.

He speaks of a humanitarian “Crisis of heart and soul” at the southern border while dripping crocodile tears for the human suffering his policies have enhanced. Anecdotes about Human smugglers, rapists, and drug gangs guaranteed to scare the shit out of his base of angry fearful white people.

Now he tries to reassure his base by promising to “Keep America safer than ever before” which is a continuation of his “the country is a disgrace” but because of him and his booming economy the country is so great all these illegals want to come here, take your job, steal your car and rape your daughters.

He’s struggling with his delivery because though he keeps dropping tried and true rally applause lines, doing so to a camera in an empty setting isn’t giving him the jolt he craves... his presentation is filled with vacuous bullshit about money for what he calls  “humanitarian assistance” but really means easier detentions and deportations.

He gave up on the concrete wall for a bullshit steel barrier, then he trotted out the wall will pay for itself. Then the piece de resistance “Mexico will pay indirectly for wall.” The “Big beautiful Wall” is now “give me something I can call a wall.”

Now he is blaming all the ills in American history on the Democrats. Democrats are un-American have refused to acknowledge the crisis so shutdown is because Dems won’t fund border security but wealthy Democrats build walls around their homes.

Wrapping up with a reminder of the horrors brown people from South of the Border are wreaking on the poor defenseless hard working MAGA hat devotees.
Back to the greatest hits with a litany of murders by illegal aliens immigration.
Here’s one line verbatim, “Rape, murdered, and beaten to death.”

“So sad, so terrible.”

Then the patriotic word salad… “American blood, Choice between right and wrong, Sacred duty, Swore to protect our country so help me god.”

Same old set list.

Same old lies…

Stick a fork in him… he’s done.

The American people gave him a mandate to govern.
He won the election fairly and squarely, a sea of red from north to south and east to west....promising to build a border wall.
He should be allowed to build the wall.

Just saw on my tv illegals simply climbing over a flimsy barricade on the southern border and landing on American soil.
A person every few seconds entering illegally.

Wanna blame someone for the govt shutdown...blame the Democrats...they're the ones blocking supply.

Gotta love the way leftists in America seem to support their porous borders and the entry of anyone and everyone who chooses to waltz in over them.
Trump didn't promise he'd build a wall. He promised Mexico would the wall. Why is this not continually part of the discussion? The government remains partially shuttered because of a lie.

Only 12 terrorists? Only takes one to wipe out a school or destroy a night club, poison a water supply, or blow up a parade. Zero tolerance for violent primitives?

Following your logic of saving lives,  then...zero tolerance for ownership of assault type weapons?   It only takes one...

“and won’t prevent border crossings or drugs”

Heh.  Good one.  Unwrgw
The only place where drugs enter the country in a near endless string of men toting 20 pound bales across the desert are in the fevered and calf-obsessed wet dreams on Congressman King.  Most drugs enter through legal ports - in cars and trucks, hidden in legal shipments, foot traffic across bridges.  The rest enter through more cost effective, vastly personally safer, less labor intensive means.  Internegalean tunnels, boats, drones, small planes onto makeshift air fields, bales of cocaine falling from low flying planes onto the farm of Rev. Horton Heat, that kind of thing.  Not in small amounts carried through dangerous extreme conditions by individuals.  Nothing the wall would stop.

It seems like this factual reality has been presented here hundreds of times,  with zero penetration of the crania that are most in need of facts.   I think the real wall is the one encasing the brains of 35% of Americans.

A hostile foreign power interfered with the US election in an intelligence operation that helped to successfully install their preferred candidate.

Said intelligence operation was targeted in a way that led to suspicions that they were being advised by someone/people with both intimate knowledge of US elections and possibly real-time info on where the race is close.

Yesterday we found out that Trump's campaign manager was in communication with a Putin contact and shared real-time private campaign polling with him.

And?  No one even notices.  Too busy concentrating on the daily controversy.

Welcome to Trump's nation.

Welcome to Trump's nation.

We are so far past collusion and conspiracy, its almost laughable if it wasn't so sad. But the Repubs just keep ignoring what has seemed obvious for some time.

I watch former Sen Santorum (R-shithead from Pa) on CNN and that sanctimonius piece of shit keeps on babbling the partisan bullshit about actions which reach impeachable levels and we're not there yet. Yet this fucking asshole voted to convict Clinton on lies about a blow job.

And at the time when half the Repub leadership were either cheating on their wives or molesting little boys.

I look forward to the day Mueller drops the hammer on Donnie Jr.

I look forward to the day the U.S. seizes 725 5th Ave. and Mar Lago.

With open evidence of espionage and conspiracy and a vanity project campaign stunt about to cause additional real pain to tens of millions of voters who are mainly on their side, republicans have come to a fork in the road.

It will be interesting to see what the final split will be.

In reality the " hostile foreign power" is more likely the democrat party machine.

Red thinks he just tossed off a snappy and snarky comeback.

But he's just an partisan enabler too afraid of a changing America and afraid of real democracy to voice one complaint or any moral outrage to the vile anti-American Russian pawn in the White House who weakens this country every day.

His comeback misses the mark.  Or any mark.  What is he trying to say?  That it was Democrats that hacked into the DNC to steal emails then timed their release through Wikileaks to do maximum damage and cover-up bad Trump coverage?  That it was Democrats who created fake Facebook accounts that spread misinformation to over 100 million Facebook accounts, stoked racial resentments, and targeted minority communities in order to suppress turnout?  All with the help of internal Trump Campaign polling supplied to them by Trump’s campaign manager and deputy campaign manager?  Was it actually Democrats that Don Jr. was so excited to meet in a secret Trump Tower meeting, before lying to the country about its purpose?

Obviously, no. So what is REDSTATEWARD trying to say here?  Maybe, like Trump, REDSTATEWARD thinks that any party in opposition of Republicans is the “Enemy of the People” and so, like Trump, is clueless about how our Democracy works. 

Glove fits, so I’ll go with that.
