How is this story not at the top of every cable news network?

[Pototan]

I don't get it. Just the first two paragraphs of this article should chill every American.

Donald Trump campaigned in Juneau, Wisconsin, on Sunday and rebuked his “stupid” campaign staff for showing the “wrong picture” as he once more attempted to answer liberal mockery over his dwindling crowd sizes.

The Republican presidential nominee told his crowd again that he plans to be a dictator for one day if he regains the presidency and warned that the country is “finished” if he doesn’t.

4. I don't know...

...I think a Presidential candidate who publicly calls his staff "stupid" is a big story. I do agree that the second paragraph, that Trump wants to be a dictator, is the bigger story.

6. Things is, the existential issues raised by the second story greatly outweigh the old-news first story. . . . nt

5. He went to Butler and said Democrats tried to kill him

and so did Shady Vance and most of his speakers

[Orrex]

8. Had a customer say something like that the other day

Customer: "Democrats hate him so much that they'll do anything to stop him. That's why they tried to kill him twice."

Me: "Weren't both shooters Republicans?"

Customer: "I see that you get your news from the lying liberal media."

[malaise]

9. They are all lying lunatics

I remain doubting malaise on both events

[Orrex]

11. Same

I'd like someone in the media to ask Trump how he recovered completely from a bullet wound in a few days' time with no stitches, bruising, or scars.

13. Routh wasn't Republican according to the Factcheck

https://www.factcheck.org/2024/09/what-we-know-about-ryan-rouths-political-affiliations/

He's never been registered Republican and last voted in the DEM primary for NC this year.

When his home was searched in HI, his pickup truck had a Biden-Harris bumper sticker.

[Orrex]

14. Whoa. Ok, my bad.

IN the first days I heard that he was on Reichwing forums, but I honestly stopped looking after that.
