This piece quotes David Frum framing it thusly in 2020:
"Trump allows jerks to be jerks," These people look to the president almost as "the leader of a jerk liberation movement," because he gives them permission to behave like cretins without shame or apology.

Oh come on people. I'm sure the fact that every Trumper's entire personality is "I'm going to put effort into being the most insufferable person you've ever met and then I'm gonna play the victim" is just a coincidence.

Unsurprisingly, Trump is in AZ at his rally lying is stupid head off about the debate. He's repeating the same lies as always and his audience is lapping it up like the mindless idiots they are. He's claiming Harris was to confiscate all their guns, Harris was the "leader of the movement 'Defund the Police'", Harris wants to end fracking, he's denying knowing anything about Project 2025, the FBI left out crime-ridden large cities in crime report, the moderators only corrected him on things he was right about, all polls show he won the debate. Now he's rambling on about her name, and mentally ill and prisoners are flooding in.

It's just more of the same craziness he's been spewing for years. He's nuts.

And it is obvious this time around.
Back in 2016, he was able to conceal it enough to win some swing voters who did not like Hillary. He seems unable or unwilling to concealit this time.
Karl Rove said the Tuesday debate was a Train Wreck for Trump from which it iwll be hard for him to come back.

I said a couple of years ago that I expected the DSM to include supporting the Republican Party as a mental illness in the future.

I'd say we're there now.

Actually, I kind of wish he had given us an alt map like, https://xkcd.com/2399/ for the 2024 election.

Anyway, it convinced me to go back to the analysis of the 2024 election I ran last year, it predicted Trump would receive 86,688,590 votes or 46.40% of the total vote. Not bad. But it does make me wonder who will get all the other votes, maybe the Unlabeled Party trends upward perhaps.


Curiously, neither the Green Party, nor the Libertarian Party candidates went to the debates.
I'd like to think they have matured, but they could just be out of gas money.


PS: I haven't seen any problems with Trump on this maybe he doesn't take it any more.

High Doses Of Adderall Linked To This Rare Mental Health Risk

ospitalized patients who took high doses of ADHD prescription amphetamines were five times likelier to develop psychosis and mania than patients not on the medication, a study found.

The study of more than 1,300 patients at Mass General Brigham hospitals linked their risk for psychosis and mania to the dosage of prescription stimulants a person took. These medications are used to help people concentrate at school or work. Patients who took 30 milligrams or more of dextroamphetamine − or 40 milligrams of Adderall − developed psychosis and mania nearly 5.3 times more often than those who did not take the medication, according to the study published Thursday in the American Journal of Psychiatry.

Color me shocked: amphetamine abuse at high dosages can lead to psychosis and mania? Hard to credit.... /s

Maps like that show that the whole "Red/Blue" state thing is complete nonsense, only contextually useful in that we have deal with the stupid EC.

In the 2020 election the state with the lowest percentage of votes for Joe Biden was Wyoming and still 1/4th of the state voted for him.

In the 2020 election the state with the lowest percentage of votes for Donald Trump was Vermont and 30% of votes in the state were for him.

(I'm ignoring DC because it's a single city which is course going to tilt the numbers to the Democrat side and the weird way Maine and Nebraska do it)

There is no such thing as red or blue state, it's a bad way of looking at the whole thing. This whole idea that there's huge swaths of the country with no meaningful level of support for the other candidate, where finding a Harris voter or a Trump voter is some rare anomaly, is just not true.

It's not an accurate, and more importantly useful, to think of states as belong to one party or the other.

That's why I'm so opposed to any sort of "LOL well just let the red states go to hell, serves them right for voting for Trump" nonsense. There's too many good people in those states and them leaving the states to blue states would benefit Trump, not the nation.

In order for this to be true, he would have had to have examined at least 667 elections (666/667 = 99.85%).

I'm curious if that's what he has done. I mean, it's possible if he examines non-presidential elections, but I am just wondering.

There is one presidential election every four years so that's 37 elections. I don't know how he comes up with that percentage.

Trump is now saying that ABC News should have their FCC license taken away as punishment for fact checking him during the debate.

What? You don't think it's suspicious that they only fact checked the liar? Clear bias!1!!

I didn't think ABC had an FCC broadcast license. The local ABC affiliates have a broadcast license.

So twice yours and Trump? An IQ of 120 is high.



Do you base her “low IQ” on the color of her skin like others who share your views?

Not on colour of skin.
She sounds dumb as a fence post.
