From MeidasTouch… “He’s not well: Trump’s mental state continues to deteriorate as he posts imaginary conversations of President Biden, spreads more election lies, whines that the prosecutions against him are unfair, and more.” ” Trump Meltdown Continues to Accelerate”.
link“Trump’s latest social media posts reveal complete deterioration of his mind” From the article… “We have come to expect that on a daily basis, Donald Trump will take to his social media account to: Whine and complain about being a victim. Post QAnon death cult memes. Harass or attack someone who is usually a judge, prosecutor, witness, President Biden, or anyone who doesn’t pledge full obedience to MAGA, or… A combination of all the above. Usually it’s a combination of all the above dozens of times a day. While legacy media ignores this behavior as “Trump being Trump,” we here at the MeidasTouch Network believe Trump’s behavior is disqualifying and repulsive to our democracy and country and must be called out. Every single day. This is especially the case where Trump’s behavior, as reflected in his posts, are getting even more deranged and are now fully consistent with someone who should be involuntarily institutionalized under a 5150 psychiatric hold. Take a look at some examples from today in posts made by Trump, which reflect a complete detachment from reality and sociopathic behavior at the most dangerous measurable levels. Exhibit A Donald Trump began the day by posting “Crooked Joe Biden…is telling everyone to Indict Trump, take him off the campaign trail, and let him spend his money on legal fees rather than ads saying that Biden is the WORST and MOST CORRUPT President in the history…” (emphasis in original) Here is the full post: ” These bogus Indictments are done by one man, my Political Opponent (Crooked Joe Biden), who is telling everyone to Indict Trump, take him off the campaign trail, and let him spend his money on legal fees rather than ads saying that Biden is the WORST and MOST CORRUPT President in the history of the United States. That is their campaign strategy - Illegal as Hell - But WEWILL WIN!!”Exhibit B Donald Trump posts an imaginary conversation he believes that President Biden is having about him mixed with impulsive expressions of grandeur. Here is the full post. "Hey, I'm running against a guy, I'm going to Indict him 3 or 4 times to keep him busy." Does anyone think that Crooked Joe Biden would have said something like this??? MAKE AMERICA GREATAGAIN!!!”Exhibit C Donald Trump praises an extremist freshman MAGA Republican State Senator from Georgia who demanded Georgia Governor Brian Kemp hold an “emergency session” of the legislature to stop the prosecution by the Fulton County District Attorney. The State Senator referenced in Trump’s posts also went on a media tour falsely stating that the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was seeking the death penalty by lethal injection against Donald Trump. “Highly respected Georgia State Senator Colton Moore deserves the thanks & congratulations of everyone for having the courage & conviction to fight the Radical Left Lunatics who are so badly hurting the Great State of Georgia, & the USA itself. Failed D.A. Fani Willis, who has allowed Atlanta (Fulton County) to become a record setting Murder and Violent Crime War Zone, with almost no retribution, shockingly Indicted your favorite President, me, for a PERFECT PHONE CALL. She is bad for America!”
There’s more examples in the article. |

In case you don't want to click on the tweet. Here is the rest of his statement. Use our military to secure our border & to annihilate the Mexican drug cartels if necessary. If we’re ready to actually do it, the Mexican government will step up & regain its sovereignty. That’s how we solve the problem.Sure they will step up just like they paid for the wall .. They'll send every drug shipment and dealer here to punish us, with good reason. And he is supposed to be the smart one. Attack Mexico our immediate neighbor and hand Ukraine to Putin... Let us not forget he will pardon TFG, leave NATO, and screw all of Europe and the rest of the world. You go Vivek!!! Ramaswamy is rapidly moving up my list of most despised Republicans. It's a big list with Trump, McConnell, McCarthy, DeSantis, Clarence Thomas at the top but the more Ramaswamy campaigns and opens his mouth, the more he moves up. |

Remember the film maker Holder who was near TFG in the closing days of the administration . Donald Trump was "unhinged" during the waning days of his presidency, according to a filmmaker who was recording interviews with the then-president at that time. youtu.be/Dj6LqoDubDs?si=M_J-2F9uHP1yEvG7 |

I posted this analysis of 2024 in the debate thread, too but it's relevant here and worth reading.
simonwdc.substack.com/p/democrats-are-having-a-very-good
Simon Rosenberg, the long-time Democratic strategist who was proven right as the most prominent public skeptic of the “red wave” theory in 2022, argues that Trump, in particular, is unlikely to match his 47% of the vote from 2020 if the GOP nominates him again. “We are starting at a place where it is far more likely in my mind that he gets to 45% than he gets to 49%,” Rosenberg said. “And if he gets to 45%, we have the opportunity to get up to 55%. The key for Democrats is we have to imagine growing and expanding our coalition for it to happen.”
Another change since 2020 is the broad public backlash, especially in Democratic-leaning and swing states, against the 2022 Supreme Court decision ending the constitutional right to abortion, which Trump has directly claimed credit for engineering through his nominations to the court. Finally, compared to 2020, the electorate in 2024 will likely include significantly more young people in Generation Z, a group that is preponderantly supporting Democrats, and fewer Whites without a college degree, now the GOP’s best group.
All of these factors, Rosenberg said, create “an opportunity” for Democrats to amass a bigger majority next year than most consider possible. But to get there, he argues, the party will need to think bigger, particularly in its efforts to mobilize younger voters aging into the electorate. “It’s a man on the moon kind of mindset,” Rosenberg said. “We have to want to go there to get there. We have to build a strategy to take away political real estate from the Republicans because they are giving us the opportunity to take it away from them.”
Many Republican strategists privately agree that the combined effect of the January 6 insurrection and the court’s abortion decision will make it difficult for Trump to expand his support from 2020 if the GOP nominates him again.

Another analysis from the same guy about how Republican talking points about the worst presidency in history (Biden's )are collapsing. Some of this might be wishful thinking, this guy is saying what I want to hear, but he has some really valid points. There's a lot more, these are just the highlights. simonwdc.substack.com/p/the-right-wing-narrative-about-bidenAs we discussed last week (here, here), we are witnessing what may be a historic meltdown on the right side of the American political spectrum. Let’s review:
Republican leaders are choosing to once again excuse and embrace Trump’s epic malevolence and ongoing betrayal of the country
McCarthy has lost control of the House, and may never get it back
the backlash to DeSantis’ extremist agenda in Florida is growing, as it should
a war has broken out between Fox News and Musk/Twitter/Tucker Carlson, just weeks after Fox was essentially found guilty of lying and helping stoke a domestic insurrection in the United States
the leader of CPAC, one of the right’s most influential organizations, has been accused of sexual assault and financial improprieties by his own staff
one of the right’s most important allies in the UK, Boris Johnson, just resigned from Parliament in disgrace
Rs are losing in the early 2023 elections, as they did in the battlegrounds in 2022
The corruption of the Roberts Court is now undeniable
But of the all GOP’s challenges, and there are so, so many, the most consequential may be the clear across-the-board success of the Biden Presidency. It is making the fictional “worst President in history” narrative the right-wing noise machine has invested so much in impossible to maintain. Let’s revisit some of their attacks/memes given recent events:
Republicans are in serious trouble right now. MAGA is an electoral dead-end; the House is ungovernable under their leadership; their standing by Trump the betrayer is going to cause them serious brand damage; the corruption in their ranks has become a serious problem; the venality of their noise machine has been exposed for all to see, and its leaders are turning on each other; their association with Putin, a genocidal maniac, is no longer tenable; and the fictions they’ve created about Biden are collapsing due to his strong leadership and smart, successful Presidency.
I started Hopium Chronicles in part because I wanted to more aggressively challenge the tornado of right-wing bullshit in our daily discourse that I think is doing so much harm to the country. It is in that vein that I think we need to recognize that MAGA is in a form of narrative collapse right now. The stories they’ve been telling us and themselves are being increasingly exposed as rancid, red wavy fictions. What they are saying is literally less true today than it was a few weeks ago, and that is going to make it harder and harder for them to distract the American people from how ugly their project has become.
All of this gives us a huge opportunity to go on offense now, be loud and proud about what we’ve done and who we are, far more aggressively challenge them in the daily info wars, and strive together next year to get to 55 and turn the election into a clear repudiation of their historic awfulness.
We are at an important moment. We need to seize it, together. |

White is only part of it. Never mind that most of us have heritage from other nations, "foreigners" aren't welcome. Also on the list: 1. Women have to be subservient (and poorly educated, better still). She must also remain a virgin until one of them marries her, or rapes her (in which case she's damaged, and only good for prostitution and abuse then). She's forbidden to become involved with a man of a different race. She's forbidden to have opinions (at least, shared ones). 2. Their specific branch of Christianity has to be the only religion tolerated (there are differences among which branch the group follows as individuals, but they'll fight that war amongst themselves after they "get" the rest). 3. They're entitled to a secure, good-paying job with regular promotions as long as they want to work at one, even though they didn't pursue education or seek additional skills beyond high school. 4. They can inflict violence upon or just shoot somebody if they feels that person hasn't shown them appropriate respect (what that means is entirely up to the individual man). There's more, but I think you get the picture. In other words, let's go back to the worst of 1800 or so. |

In a new article for The Atlantic, retired former federal judge J. Michael Luttig (a prominent conservative) and top legal scholar Laurence Tribe (a liberal law professor) make the case that the Constitution includes a provision that disqualifies Donald Trump from holding public office again. Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment is also known as the “disqualification clause.” It’s only two sentences long, but it could doom Trump’s bid to return to the White House. The disqualification clause “forbids the former president from holding the office of the presidency again because of his conduct in and around January 6, 2021,” says Judge Luttig. And as Tribe points out, it’s not a sanction against an individual. “The framers of the 14th Amendment took great care not to treat this as a punishment … Nobody has a right to be president without meeting the qualifications.”

Maybe this is where TFG and DeSantis get their ideas. We KNOW TFG worships MBS when directed the killing and mutilation of Jamal Khashoggi. Between March 2022 and June 2023, Saudi border guards killed hundreds of Ethiopian migrants attempting to cross the border from Yemen into the oil-rich kingdom, according to a new Human Rights Watch report released on Monday. The report comes as Saudi Arabia implements an anti-migrant policy at home and a campaign to boost its image abroad. The rocky, mountainous region around Sadaa – a hardscrabble city in northern Yemen right by the Saudi border – has turned into lethal terrain, according to human rights groups. Bodies of dead or seriously wounded migrants, mostly from Ethiopia, have been spotted in satellite imagery and social media posts from the border, providing harrowing testimony of abuses, notes the latest report by the New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW). “They Fired on Us Like Rain”, an HRW report released on Monday, August 21, records widespread abuses committed on the Yemen-Saudi border between March 2022 and June 2023. “Saudi border guards have used explosive weapons and shot people at close range, including women and children, in a pattern that is widespread and systematic. If committed as part of a Saudi government policy to murder migrants, these killings would be a crime against humanity,” notes the report. Over the past few months, reports have been mounting of grievous violations on the migration track known as the “Eastern Route” or the “Yemeni Route”, which runs from the Horn of Africa, across the Gulf of Aden, through Yemen and into Saudi Arabia. A July 5 report by the Mixed Migration Centre, an independent data institution within the Danish Refugee Council, said Ethiopians were being “systematically” killed by “security officials operating under Saudi Arabian state authority”. (Me, it really is a gruesome accounting) www.rawstory.com/crimes-beyond-imagination-saudi-border-guards-killed-hundreds-of-migrants-hrw-report-says/ |

Anyone who believes that the MAGA crowd isn’t freaking out because this country is loosing its white majority are not the brightest bulb on the block. I wonder what his definition of “Marxist” is. From Axios… link“ Scoop: Inside Trump's new plan to limit immigration”Why it matters: As president, Trump built part of a border wall, began stringent wealth and health tests for prospective immigrants and limited asylum. His 2025 plan would go much further — potentially making it tougher for millions of foreigners to enter or stay in the U.S. Trump's plan would involve waves of harsh new policies — and dust off old ones that rarely have been enforced, if ever. It would: Ramp up ideological screening for people legally applying to come into the country. U.S. law has blocked communists from entering for decades, it just hasn't been enforced. Trump wants to enforce it to reject applicants who are deemed "Marxists."Send the Coast Guard and the Navy to form a blockade in the waters off the U.S. and Latin America to stop drug smuggling boats. It would be a significant step up Trump's show of force in 2020, when he sent warships to the Caribbean as a warning to cartels. Expand Trump's "Muslim ban" idea to block more people from certain countries from entering the U.S. As president he banned immigration from more than a dozen countries that are mostly Muslim or in Africa; President Biden rescinded that executive order. Designate drug cartels as "unlawful enemy combatants" to allow the U.S. military to target them in Mexico. The U.S. has used that designation to justify long-term detentions of 9/11 suspects at Guantanamo Bay.” |
