Trump's Second Term

[dudalb]

I saw some older footage of Trump this morning. It had been shot during his first presidency and during the pandemic, so a little less than six years old. It was striking how much energy he's lost since then: he's lost the ability to talk quickly, to animate his hands as he speaks, and his ability to keep to the subject (never good to begin with) has been completely lost.

As much as I despise Trump that is common for a lot of people reaching that age.
And, franky, I don't think it is a good idea to elect anybody above the age of 70 to high public office for that reason.

The whole 'Nazi Germany was Left Wing" has been around on the far right for a number of years.
But cuts both ways; I have seen a number of people on the more extreme fringes of the left claim that Stalin's Russia was really a right wing fascist regime.
Me, I thin evil can exist on both sides of the political spectrum.

I'm going to offer up a "Duh." Evil and the political spectrum are distinctly separate concepts, after all. The right wing has a much greater tendency towards evil, yes, by virtue of its nature, but evil people can easily be anywhere on the spectrum.

As for the whole Nazi Germany was Left Wing bit, the truth is more complicated. Fascism in general, official party platform policy-wise, is generally a mix of stuff across the political spectrum, which leaves plenty of room for spin. In practical reality, though, the things that the Nazis are condemned for are pretty much all the result of the far right's influence and divisive hatefulness.

Trumpkins are celebrating that the Melania movie made $7 million on its opening weekend. I guess a bunch of cultists flocked to watch it once they heard it was bombing. How many ticket sales are $7 million, anyway?

Depending on ticket prices, I'd guess about half a million, and that would probably be close to the number of stupid people in the US.

Personally, I have no problem with her, except for the fact that she's married to the fat clown.

Especially the Spy vs Spy look she sometimes has going:

Alright I'm coming out the closet a little here by saying this but...

I kind of like the hat.

Thats it...nothing else about that disgusting family whatsoever. But that hat looks bad ass for a funeral.
