As nearly everyone living above ground now knows, the U.S. Supreme Court has granted Donald Trump and future Presidents broad immunity for official acts they commit while in office.

Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance continues to push false claims he and Donald Trump have been making that Haitians in an Ohio community are abducting and eating pets. The Morning Joe panel discusses.
Rachel Maddow outlines the sheer volume of objectively bad news for Donald Trump's campaign since even before he lost the presidential debate to Kamala Harris, and points out the "made-to-order outrage" tactic Trump and his supporters have used to distract from that bad news, even if it means exposing themselves as racist liars and offending the entire Haitian-American community.

In 2019, #OrangeHitler suggested he could end the war in Afghanistan "quickly" just by nuking it.

I GUESS WE KNOW WHAT #DementiaDon did this weekend. He watched "The Purge". #JFC.
The man can't distinguish movies from real life (remember when he quoted "Sacario 2" claiming the #Border Patrol found #PrayerRugs in the dessert?)
Now he's suggesting "One rough hour" where cops are allowed to beat & kill anyone they encounter.
HOW IS THIS RACE EVEN CLOSE??? 😱

And apparently, #DementiaDon was told "theft valued under $950 is only a misdemeanor", so he dreams up this fantasy that he has SEEN VIDEO of Smash & Grab criminals "with calculators", trying to avoid going over the $950 limit."
Of course, THERE IS NO SUCH VIDEO. But b/c he BELIEVES THEY'RE *PROBABLY* DOING IT, SO IT MUST BE TRUE.
Remember when he falsely claimed seeing Muslims "celebrating on rooftops" on 9/11? Complete fiction. Never happened. But he's SURE it "probably" did, so say it did.
Suddenly, #OrangeHitler is endorsing letting cops beat & kill anyone they encounter "for one hour".

And where is #Vance getting his ideas?
From a Far Right blogger he cites by name, "Curtis Yarvin", who says we need a #Dictator and that "America has to get over its dictator phobia."
