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.)

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.)

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.

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.

ONLY FOUR PEOPLE were able to ask questions of #DonTheCon at his bizarre #TownHall in #Oaks, PA before he just decided they all listen to music for the next 38 minutes.
#MeidasTouch News investigated and found that AT LEAST TWO of the four questioners at #DementiaDon's Pennsylvania town hall event were plants. Failed MAGA candidates posing as regular voters there to ask him softball questions.

I'M ACTUALLY HEARING YOUNG VOTERS ARGUING "T**** is not a racist!"
The 1st time he was ever sued was b/c he & his father were refusing to rent to #ColoredPeople; caught placing a (C) on the applications of black applicants for rejection.
Later, he paid OUT OF POCKET to take out a full page ad in the NYT demanding the #DeathPenalty for the #CentralPark5 (who were later exonerated by DNA. He has never apologized and still DEFENDS it.)
And never forget:

They took pride in being called "deplorable" after Hillary used the term to describe them.
Their reaction to being told T**** is a Russian puppet was to wear T-shirts proclaiming to prefer a Russian dictatorship over Democrats (see #Weird number 5).
And now, after being called "#Garbage" by #Biden (a term T**** himself called #Harris supporters last August), they proudly wear trash bags (not Covid PPP certified.)
@MugsysRapSheet Yet they threw a tantrum about being called "weird".
Which is weird in and of itself.
@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.)

@Thumper1964 @palin
IT HAS BECOME PAINFULLY CLEAR MAGAts are petulant children (led by a rampaging toddler) who revolt whenever someone tells them they can't do something or must do something for their own good.
Don't tell them to eat their broccoli, wear a #mask, get #vaccinated, or that they can't drink unpasturized #milk.
They feel PERSONALLY threatened by #EVs, stricter #AirPollution laws, #GayMarriage, #Trans Rights, and #DragQueens.
#Xenophobes who need a dozen #AR15's to feel safe.

(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).
