If I were a photoshop maven, I’d paste Trump’s face on that picture of John Cusack in Cameron Crowe’s 1989 movie, Say Anything, but I am not. It’s a movie of which I have fond memories but haven’t seen in 20 years. I used Cusack and his boom box as the featured image to avoid posting yet another picture of Trump and/or Vance. I did it for my readers.
We might as well get the Peter Gabriel song used in the movie out of the way before moving on:
The word of the day is: Desperate. That describes a Trump campaign that’s flailing and floundering. The media doesn’t see it because GOPer always talk a big game, but their big words are increasingly hollow and shrill. They’ll say anything to depress turnout among the coalition for decency and democracy. It’s what Federal inmate Steve Bannon calls flooding the zone with shit. It does not appear to be working.
The Republican national ticket is comprised of two mendacious creeps who are emotionally broken beyond repair. Adding that fucking donut JD to the ticket was supposed to be a future oriented move but it has backfired. Sarah Palin was a disaster in 2008, but she still had her fans. JD has spent his time in the spotlight repelling voters with bizarre rants past and present exalting the reproductively prolific and mocking those who have not bred. Who is that supposed to appeal to? It’s just creepy and I daresay, weird.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record: Politics is about adding voters, not subtracting them. Everything Team Trump does is aimed at the base. The Ohio pet-eating mishigas is an overt appeal to racism. There’s a problem with that: racists are already Trumpers. They know Trump is one of them.
The Insult Comedian seems to think he can scare Jewish American voters into supporting him. He casts them as ingrates who should flock to the MAGA banner. Who is he trying to appeal to with shit like this?
I’ll put it to you very simply and as gently as I can: I wasn’t treated properly by the voters who happen to be Jewish. I don’t know. Do they know what the hell is happening if I don’t win this election? And the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens, because, at 40 percent, that means 60 percent of the people are voting for the enemy.”
Sounds like an invitation to a pogrom to me. It will never work. American Jews are sophisticated voters who can’t be bullied into voted for an anti-Semitic candidate just because he supports Bibi Netanyahu. Note to the Kaiser of Chaos: Bibi is almost as unpopular among Americans Jews as you are.
Let’s quote Trump’s hapless running mate next. He, too, will say anything to pander to wingnuts, Opus Dei Catholics, and xenophobes. He sees nothing wrong with making shit up to further his creepy cause:
“If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that’s what I’m going to do, Dana, because you guys are completely letting Kamala Harris coast.”
The Dana in question is CNN anchor Bash who completely let The Insult Comedian coast in his debate with Joe Biden. JD is full of shit, but you knew that already. He’s a fucking donut.
Flooding the zone with shit seemed to be working before the Biden-Harris switch. The legacy media’s incessant harping on Joe’s age did Team Trump’s dirty work for them.
The July 21st campaign reset energized Democrats and reminded people that only MAGA cultists like Donald Trump. He’s a fucking asshole and his running mate is a fucking donut. I can’t say that enough. I, too, can say anything.
Yet again, we have a last word doubleheader.
The musical last word goes to Aimee Mann:
The countdown last word goes to Harold Lloyd:
