Trump so incoherent and confused, even MSNBC CUTS AWAY!

In a recent statement at Mar-A-Lago following the Supreme Court's decision to reinstate him on the Colorado Republican primary ballot, Donald Trump appeared visibly disoriented and incoherent. Even MSNBC cut away during his speech, as he seemed to conflate various legal issues, including presidential immunity, a civilly liable rape case, defamation, and a fraud case. Trump's discourse lacked clarity on the specific details of the Supreme Court decision, and he argued for presidential immunity based on his belief that a president needs to be free from legal challenges to make tough decisions. MSNBC's coverage included disclaimers about Trump's statements, highlighting confusion over Trump's unscripted and rambling response.

The secret plan for how the fascists could win in 2024

In Thom Hartmann’s recent piece, "The Secret Plan for How the Fascists Could Win in 2024," a concerning three-step strategy is outlined, extending beyond Trump to encapsulate the broader Republican agenda for Project 2025. The initial step involves securing or retaining control of the House of Representatives, potentially leading to disruptions in the 2025 presidential inauguration. Hartmann details scenarios where MAGA-backed representatives exploit technicalities or refuse to swear in Democrats. The second phase, termed the deconstruction of the administrative state, envisions substantial federal worker layoffs and the strategic placement of loyalists in key bureaucratic roles. The third step entails a meticulous overhaul of career bureaucrats with MAGA activists, aiming to obstruct governmental departments. This plan not only raises alarms due to its audacity but also highlights the potential exploitation of legal loopholes. Communicating the gravity of this situation to the public becomes crucial, especially considering recent surveys indicating a significant lack of awareness regarding Trump's dictatorial aspirations.

From yesterday’s show:

Trump wins MULTIPLE primaries, Nikki Haley FINALLY wins one!

Over the weekend, former President Donald Trump secured victories in additional primaries, strengthening his position in the race for the Republican nomination. Reports highlight Trump's success in the Missouri, Michigan, and Idaho caucuses, underscoring his seemingly unstoppable momentum. Alongside Trump's victories, Nikki Haley achieved a single noteworthy win in the Washington, DC Republican primary. As attention turns to Super Tuesday, where elections are scheduled in multiple states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, and others, the delegate count becomes a focal point. Currently, Trump holds 244 delegates, while Nikki Haley has 43. While the numerical challenge for Haley is evident, her strategic decision to stay in the race could potentially influence the nomination process, especially if unforeseen developments impact Trump's candidacy or ability to remain the race.

MAGA crowd goes SILENT when Trump's brain stops working on stage

In a recent speech in Richmond, Virginia, former President Donald Trump once again confused Obama and Biden, prompting an awkward silence from the crowd. While Trump claims these mix-ups are intentional and meant as satire, the lack of any comedic context or logical reason behind such substitutions challenges this assertion. Trump's speech was marked by various verbal glitches, from referring to Argentina as "a guy" to labeling the United States as the "United Stage." Despite attempts to justify these errors, they further raise concerns about the state of Trump's cognitive abilities. Even if we set aside policy differences, Trump's evident struggle with ideas and concepts is disconcerting, especially in contrast to his attempts to downplay the significance of these verbal lapses. As Trump seeks to present these as deliberate comedic choices, the increasing frequency of such episodes paints a different picture, one where his cognitive decline becomes more apparent and troubling.
