The finish line is in sight, but there's still a lot of shit in this storm.
Last post, we looked at his bizarre events in Pennsylvania over the weekend, when he waxed poetic about a golfer's nether regions and took his filthy paws to a local McDonald's.
With just 11 days until Election Day, there's a lot more to cover.
Pobrecito needs a nap-nap
On the campaign trail, it seems that he has cancelled more than he has fulfilled.
- He refused to take part in a second debate with Kamala Harris.
- He refused to take part in a 60 Minutes interview, on the basis that they would fact-check him. It is the only time in 60 Minutes's history that a presidential candidate has not appeared on their program in the weeks leading up to the election.
- He cancelled a CNBC appearance on "Squawk Box"
- He cancelled a virtual event in which he would've appeared with RFK Jr and Tulsi Gabbard called, "Make America Healthy Again" Town Hall.
- He cancelled an interview with NBC News
- He cancelled an event with the NRA
- He cancelled a long-planned appearance on The Shade Room, which would have given him an audience with Black voters
The reason the campaign gave for his cancelling some of these appearances was that he was "exhausted." Indeed, he was seen closing his eyes and bobbing his head during an appearance.
We remember when he could not keep his eyes open during his own criminal trial. Here he is at a recent campaign event.

Harris jumped on his cancellations and reports that he was exhausted.

The Poopy President-Wannabe
The internet went wild when it looked like he was using a pee-pee pad on the sofa when he appeared on Fox and Friends. There have been reports through the years that he stinks, is incontinent, and wears diapers. His minions have even leaned into it, wearing diapers themselves in solidarity. So, it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that FAUX wanted to protect their sofa.
However, on Faux and Friends, he wasn't sitting on a potty pad. Here is the video of when he first sat down for that interview. He simply has a freakishly long jacket that flared out on the sofa (long coat tails benefit when wanting to hide a diaper butt). No doubt Donnie Von Shitzinpantz had just changed into a fresh Depends so that he would have less chance of soiling their pretty white couch, though.
What wee doo have evidence of: his stinking verbal diarrhea. There's plenty of it.
The latest in that realm:
He's been spouting a shit-ton of crap about his opponent. Things he has called Kamala Harris this week:
- "Shit vice president" - in the same speech where he rhapsodized about Arnold Palmer's trouser monkey
- "Lazy" – a shitty racist trope
- "Stupid" – a shitty sexist trope
- "Crazy" – a clear projection (they all are, actually)
Less than two weeks to go and the former president* of the United States is decompensating. Badly.
And this from his surrogate, the revolting Fucker Carlson. Disgusting, foul worm.

This was at a Turning Point Action rally with the equally odious Charlie Kirk and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. It tracks. Those people deserve each other. They need to go find a rock to crawl under and stay there.
What you do in your own bedroom, Tuck, is your business and your business only. Go with your orange satan spawn and spank away.
Dictator Talk: Can't Stop, Won't Stop
This week, which is only the latest in his deep repertoire of dictator talk, he pouted that during his presidency* he didn't have "generals like Hitler."
In his interviews with The Atlantic and with The New York Times, Marine General John Kelly, an esteemed soldier and the Traitor Tot's longest-serving Chief of Staff, has plainly said that this man is fascist.
He often prasies Hitler, once saying "that Hiltler did some good things, too." As Stephen Colbert noted, it's true. Hitler did one good thing. He killed Hitler.
The Washington Post recently wrote about the Mango Mussolini's thirst for use of the military against American civilians. Ever the apologist, Sen. Lindsey Graham pshawed Kelly's warnings and the whole idea of King Minus's turning to fascism. "They can speak up, but the criticism to me doesn’t match the reality of what happened during Trump’s period. I’m sort of offended by that kind of stuff — you can be a critic of Trump, but there were no concentration camps." Yeah. What great comfort.
We know that the only reason that he didn't try those kinds of acts were that there were safeguards in the form of "adults in the room," two of whom were Kelly and General Mark Milley themselves. There won't be safeguards anymore. He'll be surrounded by loyalists, both in the Whitewash House, and in federal agencies in general per Project 2025's plan.
General Milley, another of the Lone DeRanger's chiefs of staff, has also called him a fascist in Bob Woodward's book entitled, "War."
Not that you need it, but here's more proof of his fascist tendencies. NPR outlines that in the last two years, Babyhands has threatened his perceived enemies at least 100 times. These enemies include politicians, prosecutors, judges, generals, journalists, civil servants, and others. See the article from NPR, which inlcudes a tool to sort all those threats.
We must believe him when he acts like a dictator, praises dictators, and says he wants to be one.
Kamala Harris Believes It
She finally said outright said that she believes he is a fascist during her town hall meeting with CNN. The issue of fascism came up and Anderson Cooper point-blank asked her, "You've quoted General Milley calling Donald Trump a fascist.You yourself have not used that word to describe him. Let me ask you tonight, do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?"
Vce President Harris answered plainly, "Yes, I do."
Finally! People with gravitas are saying it out loud.
We little ones down here on the ground-floor have been talking about it for years. LSR's post "Descending into Darkness" from June 24, 2018 is just one where we discuss The Fascism Within.
And I point you to the brilliant Frank Zappa, who warned the country back in 1986. Ronald Reagan sent us down this path. I hope we can reverse the course.
Besides the maddening stupid diatribe against "filth" in music and art, this Face the Nation appearance is worth the watch. Zappa more than held his ground against these weird yell-y old white men. I love that man; he was brilliant. His comments about fascism start at 10:08, but watch the whole thing.
More Dictator-y Shit
Please read this article by Jeffrey Goldberg in The Atlantic. It is a comprehensive look at Twitler's deep disdain for military members, especially those wounded and killed, and his complete inability, on any level, to understand non-transactional service to one's country.
The article is packed with vignettes about the shitshow inside that decaying mind. One of them is about Private Vanessa Guillén. Remember her? She was murdered in 2020 by a fellow soldier at Fort Hood, Texas.
The Quarter Flounder with Sleaze jumped on the opportunity to appear like he cared. He invited the family to the Whitewash House and offered them to pay for their funeral expenses. Later, when he asked aides if they had ever sent a bill, he was told yes, the funeral cost $60,000.
The Whiney Wanker blew his top.
“It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” He turned to his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and issued an order: “Don’t pay it!” Later that day, he was still agitated. “Can you believe it?” he said, according to a witness. “Fucking people, trying to rip me off.”
Absolute pond scum, this walking bag of shit.
Not that it matters, but Private Guillén was an American citizen; she was born in Texas.
And of course, the family never received a cent from him.
The Exonerated Five
LSR has mentioned more than once the horrible experience of "The Central Park Five." They were teenagers who were forced into false confessions for an assault and rape in Central Park in 1989. Convicted due to their false confessions, they were later completely exonerated when another person confessed to the crimes and DNA evidence confirmed his guilt. Their convictions were vacated in 2002.
Then real estate "mogul" Ronald Grump reached into his bottomless bag of racism and tried them in the court of public opinion, going as far as to buy full-page ads in the area newspapers calling for the execution of these innocent teenagers.
During the debate, it came up again.
Decades after the fact, DonOld refuses to believe the fact that the five are factually innocent, let alone shut his filthy lying maw about it. During the debate with Kamala Harris last month, he said, "They admitted, they said they pled guilty and I said, well, if they pled guilty they badly hurt a person, killed a person ultimately ... And they pled guilty, then they pled not guilty."
Firstly, they did not plead guilty. They confessed, falsely. Secondly, the victim didn't die. Thirdly, they are innocent!
Now, calling themselves The Exonerated Five, the men are suing Trumplethinskin for defamation based on those remarks. I hope they win big!
Oligarchs gonna Oliga
There's a kurfuffle with Elon Musk brazenly offering $1,000,000 bribes to registered voters for their signature on a petition. It's blatantly illegal. Frankly, I'm too exhausted dodging shit bombs to delve into it. Go read.
And breaking news: Elmo has been talking privately with Putin. The Wall Street Journal broke the story, but here it is on a non-paywall site: The Guardian. *sniff sniff* ... stinks like Musk.
Trying to shut up Stormy Daniels again
Just two months after he was found guilty of 34 felonies surrounding the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, he tried to buy her silence again in what the New York Times calls a "hush money discount." In effect, the Mushroom King would accept less of what she owes to him in relation to a separate civil case in exchange for another agreement which would keep her from talking about him and her encounters with him.
A War with France?
WTAF? He avoided a war with France? Grandpa, hand over the keys.
And heavens to Betsy, do not turn on the tape recorders! You don't want to be like Nixon! Jeezus Christ. How did we get here?
Watch:
When will it end? I think we'll only be free of this idiot's drama when he's in jail or in his grave.
Remember when Howard Dean let out an excited "Yeah!", and the blowback was so bad he ended his presidential campaign? Oh for the days!
THE LIGHT
The Polls
I'm trying hard to not watch the polls. They are stupid and dumb and we just need to get out and vote already. But once in a while one gives me a much-needed jolt of hope. Uneducated white voters are breaking for Kamala! This group was once his most stalwart supporters.
He used to love them! Love 'em no more.
The Good Republicans
Ms. Liz Cheney continues to campaign with Kamala. It's weird, but we'll take it! (I think she'll be the one Republican member of Kamala's Kabinet)
Many other notable Republicans have endorsed Kamala, with more doing so every day.
The Town Hall
Did you see Kamala's town hall meeting on CNN? It was to be a debate, but Don-Don refused to face her again.
She did great! She was thoughtful, reasoned, and strong. There were times in true politician fashion she didn't directly answer the question asked, and pundits criticized her for sticking to her stump speech for much of it. Overall, I think she was solid and presidential. She made a good case for voting for her and definitely for voting against Don Pooralone.
The audience was supposedly comprised of undecided voters. I think they were "undecided" only in the fact that they hadn't yet laid pen to ballot yet. For example, this woman. There is not a snowball's chance in hell she would ever consider a vote for the Turdsicle.
This political science professor from Swarthmore? C'mon!!
Find the videos of the Town Hall on YouTube.
Obama stanning hard
Eminem introduced Obama at a rally, and Barack was a bit starstruck. Love that guy.
Stop Project 2025
Look at this! Cartoonists across the country collaborated to create this new version of an explanation of the fascist Project 2025.
Share this with those folks who don't want to slog through the 900 pages of the right-wing manifesto.
Go. Read. Understand. Share.
Skippin' Like a Dipshit
Our wonderful Tim Walz! He hasn't been much in the spotlight, but this little clip is golden.
Let's just please get over the finish line
Who else has election anxiety? I try to stay optimistic, but when I'm feeling anxious at night, I picture Kamala Harris taking the oath of office in front of the Capitol building on a crisp, clear winter day.
Come on, resisters! Let's make it happen!

Your essays give me hope. I've been quite worried about certain polls. We're certainly living through some interesting times!
