Trump jerking rally implodes, audience TERRIFIED
At a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, Donald Trump delivered a rambling and disjointed speech, raising concerns about his cognitive state as he insisted he is not impaired. He went on a long, confusing rant about rocket ships and balls of fire, once again referring to these meandering speeches as “the weave,” which he claims covers a lot of territory but is often misunderstood when taken out of context. Trump also focused on Kamala Harris, accusing her of overseeing unprecedented human trafficking, echoing conspiracy theories like QAnon, and vowing to launch the largest deportation program in U.S. history if re-elected. He further claimed he would end the alleged looting and pillaging in North Carolina, despite no apparent evidence of such problems. The rally left many observers questioning Trump's focus and rhetoric with just two weeks to go before the election.
Republican ADMITS: Ashamed Republicans will secretly NOT vote Trump
At an event hosted by Maria Shriver, Vice President Kamala Harris and former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney discussed their shared opposition to Donald Trump, despite significant policy differences. Cheney highlighted that although she and Harris diverge on key issues such as abortion rights and economics, she believes it is crucial to prioritize the country's well-being over party loyalty. Cheney mentioned that many Republicans privately oppose Trump and may secretly vote for Harris, fearing backlash. She argued that millions of Republicans might vote for Harris to prevent Trump's return to power, emphasizing that voters can keep their choices private. Harris underscored the dangers of Trump’s potential re-election, pointing to statements from his former officials, including defense secretaries and generals, who have labeled him unfit for office. Cheney also expressed deep concern about Trump’s actions during the January 6th insurrection, particularly his refusal to stop the violence. Despite criticisms that Cheney may be disconnected from mainstream Republican sentiment, both she and Harris focused on the larger issue of maintaining democratic guardrails.

Obama drops Trump dementia bomb as Trump COLLAPSES
During a busy weekend in the 2024 election cycle, former President Barack Obama delivered a compelling speech in Las Vegas, emphasizing the significance of voting and the dangers posed by Donald Trump. He argued that the current election shouldn't even be close, highlighting the troubling state of the nation. Obama directly addressed concerns about Trump’s competence, describing recent chaotic town hall meetings and long, confusing speeches as indicators of cognitive decline. He urged voters to recognize that elections matter, asserting that every vote can lead to tangible change, such as the expanded healthcare access brought by the Affordable Care Act. Obama reminded attendees of the importance of civic engagement, pointing out that while individuals may feel their vote doesn’t count, collective inaction could swing an election. He also recounted the economic recovery efforts he initiated after inheriting a financial crisis from Republicans, asserting that Trump merely capitalized on that recovery without contributing positively. Throughout his remarks, Obama adeptly countered the narrative that Republicans are better for the economy, underscoring the importance of informed voting in shaping the future.
From yesterday’s show:
Why is right wing comedy so terrible?
Jim Brewer's performance at a QAnon rally exemplifies why right-wing comedy is often ineffective and unfunny. His act features bizarre timing that makes the performance feel awkward and drawn out, while misplaced outrage over trivial matters distracts from genuine societal issues. Right-wing comedy frequently lacks surprise, as it rarely subverts expectations, resulting in predictable jokes that fail to deliver a punchline. Additionally, this type of comedy often targets marginalized groups without nuance, relying on stereotypes that come across as derogatory rather than insightful. This unfunny content creates a feedback loop, where audiences seeking validation for their beliefs reinforce the comedian's misguided approach, further perpetuating the perception of right-wing comedy as lacking depth and creativity.
