“At a rally in Pennsylvania, the former president said he plans to vote against an abortion ballot measure in Florida. He promised again to make insurance companies pay for IVF. ”
ANNND… now he’s against abortion again. To recap, he was for abortion, against it, for it and now against it.
He has changed direction so much his hair stands straight up—it just can’t seem to keep up.

“Tulsi Gabbard described Trump's trip to the cemetery—and Section 60 specifically— as a ‘very grave and somber remembrance and honoring of those lives that were lost.’”
So much so, that Trump made a political advertisement and put it on Tik Tok.
THAT’S how “grave and somber” Trump was: breaking the law and using the military dead as props.

“Enter Rajat Paharia, a former Google product manager who believes everyone should see what Project 2025 could mean for them. Paharia created 25 and Me, an AI-powered website that allows viewers to sort by topic and read for themselves what the playbook has to say on issues like civil rights, drug prices, and veterans affairs.”

“Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday said he would not support the idea of mandating insurance companies to cover in-vitro fertilization treatments, a proposal floated by former President Trump last week. When asked if he would back the proposal, Graham said, ‘No…no, because there’s no end to that.’”
And that’s Trump’s REAL position.
Trump makes a LOT of promises he doesn’t intent to keep. He wants votes and doesn’t care if you suffer.

“ Trump also used the event to announce his plan to make in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment free for women if he wins a second term. IVF treatments are known to be expensive, with costs reaching tens of thousands of dollars for a single round and no guarantee of success.”
You know this is never going to happen, right?
Even if Congress passed it he would veto it.
He has never cared about women or families.
“ This latest poll aligns with a trend observed in earlier surveys. A Public Policy Polling survey commissioned by Clean and Prosperous America, conducted between August 21 and 22, showed Trump leading by 5 points, with 49 percent support compared to Harris' 44 percent. An alternative model from the same pollster using different weighting showed a narrower 3-point lead for Trump.”

“Anyone who's ever listened to off-the-cuff remarks by U.S. Sen. John Cornyn over the past couple of dozen years has probably heard him talk about how his dad piloted a B-17 in World War II and was shot down and then held captive in a German prisoner of war camp until the Allied forces defeated the Nazis.”
Cornyn also avoided serving by seeking student deferment. So, of course, he uses his dad’s story.
This is the Republican way.

Who is calling Harris un-American? Donald Trump himself, of course, has questioned her racial legitimacy, as he did with President Barack Obama. And just this week, the National Review’s Rich Lowry wrote in The New York Times that Harris is “a phony” who “doesn’t care about the country” and will therefore lose the “character” debate against Trump.”
The NYT apparently are just expensive stenographers.

JD Vance is an idiot.
“Some (corporations) are doing great jobs and some of them aren’t… What we are seeing consistently is energy prices are too high, food prices are too high, housing prices are too high.”
Yes. That’s the corporate greed part.
“The story there is Kamala Harris supported the ‘Inflation Explosion Act,’ and they’ve made it harder to produce American energy.”
What?
“When you do those two things, you’re necessarily going to have inflation.”

“It is absolutely unacceptable that the first and ONLY interview from Kamala Harris – the anointed Democrat nominee for President of the United States – is done jointly with Tim Walz,” Stefanik wrote Thursday on the social platform X. “It is offensive to ALL women that Kamala has refused to sit for a solo interview when she is running to be Commander-in-chief.”
What a dope.
Does she not know he is the VP candidate, not Harris’ emotional support person?

Another stupid thing Vance said…
“ Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance again described women who prioritize their careers as “miserable,” and slammed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) for her “ingratitude” as a Somali immigrant, on a right-wing podcast in 2021.”

“ One recent exception to this decorum came during former President Donald Trump’s visit to Arlington this week for a wreath-laying ceremony marking the third anniversary of a suicide bombing that killed 13 American service members at Kabul airport amid the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2021.”
He’s only been there once.
“Trump himself pleaded ignorance—even after the cemetery footage appeared on social media with his narration.”
“ Trump says let the states decide on abortion, and even red states, Kansas and Ohio, have established abortion as a constitutional right in their state. Trump indicates that he would establish tariffs on imported products, which most economists believe will be paid by consumers not Chinese companies.”
No, fuckhead, they ARE paid by consumers. The Chinese won’t pay ONE PENNY for tariffs. If an “economist” says China pays, they are not an economist.
“At the same time, his past, repeated attacks on military norms and personnel have barely budged his support among the veteran community. Consider, for example, his denigration of the late Sen. John McCain's military service and his assailing of former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis. Neither dramatically shook Trump's support among Americans with military ties.”
What is going on?
That border wall? He STOLE MONEY from the Pentagon to try to build it!!!

“General Mark Milley told The Atlantic that when he invited a wounded, wheelchair-bound soldier to sing God Bless America at Milley’s welcoming ceremony as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff, Trump admonished him. ‘Why do you bring people like that here?’ Trump asked, according to Milley. ‘No one wants to see that, the wounded.’”
Trump is disgusted by Americans who are not healthy or undamaged.
Americans, real Americans, disgust him.

“So to recap, the former president — who remains burdened by a dreadful record related to respecting U.S. troops and veterans — isn’t just caught up in a controversy about exploiting one of the nation’s most sacred spaces and ignoring Arlington’s rules against politicization, his campaign team is simultaneously picking a public fight with the United States Army less than 10 weeks from Election Day.”
But Trump’s spokesman said it’s over! 🙄
“Cheung also commented on the Arlington incident: ‘As the Army has said, they consider this matter closed. [Former] President Trump was there to support the Gold Star families and honor the sacrifices their loved ones made. Where was [Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee] Kamala Harris?’”
Not breaking the law. It was a campaign event. A Republican politician has already used it in their campaign and apologized.
Trump crimed again.
“A federal court upheld Alabama’s ban on gender-affirming care in a 173-page decision that argued that parents do not have a right to get their kids gender-affirming care that’s ‘deeply rooted in the nation’s history and traditions.’”
You know what else is deeply rooted?
Slavery. Are we going back to that?
Because it sure as fuck sounds like it.

It was an ad.
“Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) issued a mea culpa Wednesday for sending out a campaign email with a photo of him and Donald Trump at Virginia’s Arlington National Cemetery ― a visit mired in controversy after Trump staff and a cemetery employee reportedly got into an altercation over taking photos and video on the grounds.”
Republicans were using it as a stage.
It was a campaign event. Stop the lies.

This is how Trump could lose Florida. He succumbs to the loud but numerically few ignoring the larger picture.
“Deep in red southwest Florida, a group of mostly Republican women gathered Tuesday evening to talk about a ballot initiative that seeks to abolish Florida’s ban on abortion after six weeks of pregnancy.”
He NEEDS women’s votes as we vote more than men. He can not do the electoral math.
