They've been Weird for a LONG time.
Clint Eastwood's infamous 2012 comedy monologue talking to an empty chair ("pretend Obama".)
This was booked as one of the highlight's of Night 4 of the Romney #RNC #Convention. Instead, it turned out to be a long rambling & embarrassing mess.

#DonTheCon was recently caught staging fake photos of himself waving to the crowd of adoring fans as he boards his plane headed for his next campaign stop.
But a reverse angle shot reveals in fact there was no one there.

JD #Vance has been following #VP #Harris' plane around the country from campaign stop to campaign stop for photo ops.
Vance stalking Harris reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it. #Creepy #Stalkers #misogynists (Way to win back the #WomanVote from Harris, Guys!) 🤦♂️

(the photo of T**** before a Photoshopped crowd turned out to be an admitted "parody", so I yanked it.
I was suspicious since the original 2021 crowd was large enough that Photoshopping wasn't really necessary.) 😐

Maybe "#unhinged" is more appropriate? 🤔
T**** thinks #Biden is secretly planning to step in and retake the nomination back from #Harris at the #DNC #Convention (b/c "selflessness" is SUCH a foreign concept to him, he can't fathom anyone willfully giving up that which he craves.)
..."and he wants it back, NOW!!!" #Projection

Heads up, Ladies:
In response to the #SCotUS #Dobbs (#Abortion ban) ruling, HHS passed a rule banning law enforcement from accessing women's medical records to track pregnancies & women's #menstrual cycles.
"Vance was one of only eight #Republican (natch) senators" to demand HHS withdraw this new rule. 🤔

Vance is now claiming Haitian immigrants are kidnapping & eating people's pets (It's not true of course.)

(continuing from 105…)
When you've just been endorsed by a man (#RFKJr) who admitted to once having "a freezer full of roadkill", planned on eating a dead bear cub he found on the side of the road, and was credibly accused of eating a dog, MAYBE you should steer clear of accusing Haitians in Ohio of kidnapping & "Eating dogs & cats" during your Presidential #Debate? 🤔

#WTF is he even talking about??? 🤨
#DementiaDon says CA has a "giant faucet the size of a building" that redirects all of Canada's water out to sea (a self-inflicted drought?) and if elected, he'll redirect all that water back to LA.
WHAT? SERIOUSLY. This man belongs in a rubber room, not the Oval Office. 🤦♂️

I'm sorry, but he's out of his Finger Licking mind. 🤦♂️
The most obnoxious uber-#narcissist on the planet tells the crowd at a rally in #Uniondale, NY:
"I'm the Greatest of all time! Maybe greater even than #Elvis! Because Elvis had a guitar. I don't have a guitar."
REMINDER: This is not the first time #DementiaDon has compared himself to #Elvis.
He said in 2018 that people said he "looked like Elvis" when he was young (and now he looks like #FatElvis who died on the toilet.)

Rachel Maddow reports on Donald Trump literally saying that Jews will be responsible if he loses the 2024 election while JD Vance gives an interview to an outlet that recently hosted a Nazi apologist, and the Trump-backed Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina, Mark Robinson, was reported to have declared himself a "Black Nazi" on the message board of a porn web site.

OMFG!
A candidate for President of the United States invited #QAnon conspiracy theorist Scott Presler on stage at the Trump rally in Butler, PA to address the crowd:

#MTG tweeted out a map of (Gulf coast) states being affected by #HurricaneHelene, claiming it was PROOF "they" (#Democrats? #Jews?) are "controlling the weather." 🤦♂️
1) I don't see how pissing off the areas we'd need to win with devastating hurricanes "helps" Dems.
2) If we COULD control the weather, wouldn't we send a little more rain California's way during one of their (now annual) massive #Wildfires? (PLEASE #GA, vote out this embarrassing moron.)

DONNIE'S DANCE PARTY!
During a "Town Hall" in Oaks, PA moderated by SD Gov Kristi Noem, after mocking an audience member who passed out from the heat ("Would anyone else like to faint?"), #DementiaDon decided he had tired of answering questions and spent the next 30 minutes swaying & sauntering to his own musical requests. 🤨

Alex Wagner looks at Donald Trump's increasingly bizarre behavior on the campaign trail with just weeks before Election Day, not the least of which was more than a half hour of wiggling on stage to loud music while he waited for exhausted supporters to be carted off by medical personnel. In addition to weird campaign events, Trump is ducking serious media interview, and ducking questions in those interviews he does accept.
@Thumper1964 @palin
A MAGA #Republican member of the House who is also a dairy farmer tried to pass a bill to make it legal to sell raw milk (I guess Pasteurizing it to make it safe to drink was costing him too much money.)
Like all things MAGA, when the bill failed over health & safety concerns, #TheCult lost its collective finger lickin' minds and became champions of "raw milk" (how these morons haven't killed themselves off by now is a mystery.)

(Re: T**** & The #Faucet):
I'm sure someone on his team mentioned it to him, described it to him as a "faucet" b/c his childlike mind didn't understand it, and just like a child, he took it literally.
Once, when I was young, I saw something on TV (probably Sesame Street) that showed marshmallows growing on trees.
I then told everyone how marshmallows grow on trees ("I saw it on TV!") I even embellished what I believed was true w/o proof. #ToddlerTrump
Sane washing would be like:
"Donald Trump condemns wasteful management of dams and reservoirs by California's authorities and promises to improve the situation."
@Lily_and_frog
Is THAT what #DementiaDon's talking about? A Dam?
Did someone feel the need to describe it to #ToddlerTrump as: "think of it as a giant faucet", and he took them seriously? 🤨
I'm surprised he didn't blame "Farrah Faucet". 🤦♂️
Lol
When doing #SaneWashing , doesn't matter if it's what he meant as long as it's plausible.
I think that's what he meant, but I wonder if it makes his statement better (at least it's related sort of with a possible issue, maybe) or worse (he can't remember the words for dam and reservoirs).
@MugsysRapSheet I don't understand made up stories that aren't even a big deal if they were true.
Even if this was real the only problem would be the education that some of these free-ranging animals are pets rather than the fact that they're eating animals at all.
RFK Jr. is out there admitting to eating roadkill and somehow that's not a problem for the same people who believe this shit.
@gooba42
I'm not sure that most people would agree "eating dogs & cats" is not a big deal. Most people are disgusted by the idea anyone would eat dogs & cats, and frightened into believing "their pets are not safe".
T**** accusing Haitian refugees of doing so is just another way of T**** trying to drum up hate of #immigrants.
And WHERE is RFK Jr admitting to eating roadkill "not a problem"? 🤨
@MugsysRapSheet The MAGAts are more than happy to have RFK Jr's endorsement.
The people who have run over or stolen my pets in the past never bothered to apologize and they weren't even hungry and in need. I can forgive a breach of "some animals aren't for eating" norms far more readily than "I casually murdered an animal without cause".
We disagree over which animals are for eating but there's not a *moral* difference between a cow and a dog.
@goldbrush1
#BrainWormBearDumper is not sane.
I have NO doubt that the #Harris campaign let out a huge sigh of relief when he chose to endorse #TheOrangeMenace over her.
@Weirding_Is_Real @tomiahonen
After much Googling, I was unable to find anything from Snopes regarding "Trump waving at nobody" on the airport tarmac, though according to Newsweek, "video supplied by T****'s Campaign manager reveals 'a handful of people' and a car" on the tarmac. So he wasn't waving at "nobody"...
...but the photo was taken at an angle and distributed with the obvious implication there was a large crowd. Newsweek notes "he has a history of doing this."
