Ya know if he becomes our next president those who are counting on their social security from disability will not be about to make their credit cards payment

He said “ he would stop the federal government from handing out money for many programs !!”

Also pensions and Medicare was mentioned as well

Hmmm….gonna take a chance on it huh??🤔

Just great. I hope retirees and the disabled remember than on election day. Stupidly, many of the retirees, whom I know and who are on Medicare will still vote for him simply because he's not a Democrat despite him having been one in the past as were they.

I am a retired and my son is disabled. Neither of us has or ever would vote for Trump. Just want you to know. And, we're also farmers. Guess we just like to "color outside the lines".

Expand full comment

I am also disabled, and it terrifies me that someone like he is, is so careless about other people's standards of living. He hasn't a clue as to what it is like to work hard for a paycheck, yet his hillbilly supporters, with barely two nickels to rub together, think he's sympathetic to their cause and that he truly cares about them, simply because he says he loves them. He doesn't love "them". It's their money that he really loves.

My mother used to have a name for doing in that, “cutting off your nose, to spite your own face.” About the only thing Donnie’s good at leading people to do, is goading them to do dumb, self-defeating things like that. Especially because he can make money off them, while playing them for fools. That’s a con man’s game, the he does it the more gleeful he gets.

This is for international autocratic to secretly and illegally fill his “campaign“ coffers (aka his pockets).

I do believe you are right I had t thought of that. Hiding in plain sight for the oversees dictator allies he has to line his pockets. He is the poster child for greed at any cost.

Yes tacky! Like everything he projects to his Maga minions. Exactly as Mary has been saying. He is sooo narcissistic, he has this belief, this insane idea that he has the power to lead everyone to following him in whatever he professes to do and say. He's become very dangerous.

Politics has been his most successful long con.

He can probably grift more if he loses the election which might explain his inexplicable campaign behavior.

Indeed. Remember I'm so rich he could fund his own campaign? Yeah, that went away as soon as the money came in from his "marks". Honestly, even if you are a dim bulb as many appear to be, even they could figure it out if they took the time to think about it.

Yeah, and it was supposed to mean that he couldn't be bought. I think we should all be able to have access to his tax returns to see for ourselves what is on them. After all, he was our employee, like it or not.

Amen. He was broke, AGAIN when he was running in 2015. The real tax records would be interesting just like his CFO's " two-books" Donald Trump business practices. Amazing what this guy gets away with.

I was just thinking that very thing. After watching more than I could stomach of his “press conference” following his meeting with Zelenskyy, the thought arose that there is no bar so low he can’t slime and slither his way under it.

I don’t think they fall for his grift. I think they manipulate him and are supporting him so if he wins (God help us), they can get whatever they want from him as President.

Not sure they “fall” for his tactics as much as they believe in their own tactics. They are, I think, pretty sure they are waaaaay smarter, ahead of the game and on a whole different layer of the food chain from Donald.

What are these 'laws' of which you speak?

Expand full comment

This looks like it’s set up as a straight-up licensing deal, so outside of any campaign finance laws. However it’s set up, as a straight fee for using the trump name or with a more sophisticated dynamic fee escalation based on marketing aspects or milestones, it looks like it’s free and clear of FEC rules. I don’t think there are any laws prohibiting ordinary business transactions by candidates running for office. It’s just that the trust level for the integrity of this particular candidate is well below the Ick Level.

I used to report on the jewelry industry. Let's take the Orange Shitgibbon at his worthless word that the stupid $100,000 watch actually is "made with almost 200 grams of gold and more than 100 real diamonds." LOL. A little lazy Googling reveals that 200 grams of gold is worth about $17,000 today, but of course we don't know how many karats this gold is, i.e., what its quality is, so the 200 grams of gold purportedly in the Shitgibbon Watch might be worth far less than that dollar figure. As for the diamonds, whaddya wanna bet they are "bort," or shards of non-gem-grade diamond, and minuscule at that?

Any rich fools who buy the Shitgibbon Watch deserve to be parted from their money.

I suppose few of his followers understand what 200 grams means.

I've never heard of a shitgibbon, but I have to say that the real gibbons I've seen are wonderful animals. I don't know of any animal that wouldn't be insulted by being included in a name for trump. I wouldn't even insult hellbenders (aka "snot otters") with that.

It's just an online coinage for the Orange Menace. Yeah, I don't like insulting pigs by calling him one.

Thank you, Martin. I've seen people refer to him as several animal that to me are beautiful, which I routinely object to, because he isn't, never was, and never will be.

Expand full comment

I was trying to think of a disgusting animal that would be an analogous symbol of him, and honestly could not think of one that I would insult like that. Seems to me, even a venomous snake is simply being what it is created to be. PO #1135809 is so far from being what human beings were created to be, there is no animal that could be analogous. I would have compassion for him - he is truly a sad human being - if he were not so hellbent on destroying all that is good in our country and the world. We must sit him down in a corner where he is not able to do even more harm.

Expand full comment

Venomous snakes are not slimy, and my husband and I have had some interesting (fun) encounters with a couple of species of rattlesnakes. I chose hellbenders because they are slimy, and they look disgusting to me. But I have to agree that he is very far from what a human being is supposed to be, and I would love to see him in solitary confinement in a real prison.

I can think of one - a rat - one that scavenges for its food and feeds off the flesh of other animals (his supporters).

Katie, whilst I agree with you, no animal really should be denigrated by comparison with this venal excuse of an alleged human being, he does rather bear an uncanny resemblance to the bottom-feeding sucker fish!

I feel a bit irate when people are compared to animals. An example is calling someone is a pig. Animals are far more intelligent than humans.

You and me both, Cass. I have been learning how very intelligent so many animals are (there are a few exceptions like ostriches and giraffes). And we could learn a lot about caring about others and about children from creatures like Bison. Animals tend to not be greedy the way humans are.

Expand full comment

❤️ Funny how animals know so many human words, yet so many humans can't understand animal languages. My cat and my son's dog are fluent in demanding, begging, and playing.

Expand full comment

Cass, you remind me of the time I was visiting my parents and wanted to get their cat, Xerox into the house. I knew he responded to "you wanna eat?" when my parents said it, so I said "Xerox, you wanna eat?" He thought about it for about 30 seconds, and made a mad dash for the house. He figured out that the same words with a different voice still meant the same thing. I've also been impressed with the words other animals understand. The funniest one (from "The Zoo") is when they were doing a trunk wash on Patty, the elephant, to test for tuberculosis. They put liquid into her trunk, had her raise it, then lower it, and they had a bag waiting for the liquid when she did so. Then they told her to "blow", and she did. We've been watching that episode about monthly since the start of the pandemic and it still makes me laugh in amazement every time. Also from the zoo, when a mama bison knows her calf needs to stay in the corral they are in while she goes, she touches it on the nose, and the calf goes to lie down, so the keepers don't have to worry about just letting the mama through the door. Animals clearly know how to communicate well.

Expand full comment

❤️ Xerox. And poor Patty, to go through that procedure. So touching and heartwarming with the bison mama and baby. Their sense of timing- Toc (adult son named him Taco, a dumb name for a Rhodesian ridgeback) starts whining at 7:45p because he knows his boy will be coming home at 8p. I once read, then lost a science article about how trees communicate through their root systems and they know when know when a neighbor is dying. The article might be on liveScience.com. Highly recommend their free newsletter. 💕💙

I don’t get it. When I lived in Vegas a friend of mine who owned a pressure washing company did a lot of business with the Adelsons, said they were wonderful people. And she certainly sounds like she’s done so much good. But how does she think that supporting Trump dovetails with her support for Israel? He’ll only support Israel as long as it looks like Israel will win. And what he said about the “Jews” was awful, just awful. If I’d been sitting in the audience I would have got up and left.

Expand full comment

That’s exactly what it is for. A way for wealthy donors to bypass donor laws that limit how much one person can give directly to candidates. Adelson, Murdoch, Musk, Theil, etc. buy 20 hundred thousand dollar watches, expect not to get the actual items, but have given 2 million to Trump’s so-called campaign without having to disclose their donation. And a few victims buy it thinking its a collectible, and get something close to the photo.
