1. "The cemetery called me, I didn't call them....."

Someone’s getting desperate!

2. Next he will say the dead soldiers set him up.

6. The whole thing has this creepy...

Returning-to-the-scene-of-the-criming vibe. Scrolling back over the “news” for the last several years it becomes apparent that they were setting up all of these “crises” to be pulled out during the election campaign from a variety of places. Most of them, such as overturning RvW & the torpedoed immigration bill, didn’t age well. They’re going with them anyway! Even dogs, raising a big stink over President Biden’s dog nipping at Secret Service agents.

The Afghan withdrawal set up caper has been the most egregious so far, but scrolling back through the news, there’s probably a few almost as bad lurking there for an October Surprise. Which Trump seems to be obsessed with orchestrating. Because he believes he can’t be installed without one to point to. Some possibilities would be Ukraine, COVID, Israel/Palestine, and/or the economy.

The most disturbing aspect of this is that he’s had outside help setting up each of these. The SCOTUS six, the House, and hostile foreign powers to name a few. Plus, of course much of the right wing media and some of the MSM.

8. Trump, GOP leadership, billionaire donors are sociopaths.

And this is what sociopaths do.

Commit any and all crimes to get what they want.

Blame their crimes on everyone else.
Act like the victims and blame the real victims.

And yes they will set up, trick, and place time bombs to go off.
To destroy anyone who opposes them.

Yes there is a great deal of help for these sociopaths.
Including the US media which is their propaganda arm.

And most disappointedly, the American people who love these sociopaths.
The more crimes, the more the adoration.

Yes the GOP knows they cannot get elected honestly.
So it is skullduggery, lies and manipulations.
And yes there will be more before the election, we can count on that.

But they have a problem. Their strategy works best in a close race.
No one will question their cheating then.

But with K heading for a landslide it is going to be tricky for the evil ones.
I also do not believe the SC will slit their own throats to save Trump.

10. Fingers crossed that the real evil of those pulling the strings...

Will see the light, cut the Trumptanic loose, and head back to the mattresses. There’s still going to be damage done.

I am also holding out hope that in his remaining time in office President Biden and an eventual President Harris will see to it there’s few mattresses for them to land on.

12. GOP big money people see that Trump is a losing proposition.

Wealthy people want a return on investment.
They want more money and more power.

Trump does not look like he can do it for them any longer.

They don't have anything personal against Trump.
It is just business.

Yes I think your analogy is apt.
They will cut Trump loose, head for the mattresses.
And live to fight another day.

Oh yes there is tremendous damage being done.
Sociopaths will burn it all down to get what they want.
And Putin wants to destroy the country too. He is one of their minders.

Yes I am hoping K can do some clean up on aisle 14 which is what the Dems
have to do all the time after they kick the GOP out of power for a few years.

14. US media are slime

I'm The Slime
by Frank Zappa

I am gross and perverted
I'm obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
I'm the tool of the Government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can't look away
I make you think I'm delicious
With the stuff that I say
I'm the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime oozin' out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don't need you
Don't go for help, no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That's right, folks
Don't touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin' along on your livin' room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can't stop the slime, people, look at me go

3. It doesn't matter how many people he tries to blame,

nobody forced him to stand there with a shit-eatin' grin on his face, flashing his lame "thumbs up" signal to the maggots.

4. Poor old Don! He just keeps suffering and suffering and suffering

[AltairIV]

5. POS

He's a lying piece of sh*t, it's about time we scrapped off the bottom of our shoe and leave him to attract all those waiting flies and maggots.

[Boomerproud]

7. If the families don't nail him for this then I give up.

Didn't he blame the Gold Star families for giving him Covid? They wanted to "hug and kiss" their prince according to him.

[tanyev]

9. He throws everyone under the bus eventually.

[bdamomma]

11. He thinks

he's immune or entitled fuck that. He seems to forget he's a felon convicted of 34 counts, but he has no regard to the laws. He is deplorable and sickening and we all have to VOTE to get rid of this cancer.

[tenderfoot]

13. But if we didn't see it, did it happen?
