Liberals:
If we could just jail Trump, get rid of MAGA American citizens, pack the Supreme Court, get rid of the Electoral College, ban voter ID always select our Candidates by committee rather than a free vote in Primaries and censor free speech we could save democracy.

Just repeating what Leftist Democrats preach.

You basically described what "Fundamentally Transform America" means for those who were confused. Just add Government run Healthcare and the Green New Deal.....progressive utopia at last.

Scott Jennings may want to check out the "help wanted" ads.

That is unheard of on CNN.

On the other hand, we have nutjobs still pushing dog and cat eatings while closing down a whole city. The Ohio governor called them garbage.

Here is what annoys me the most about the dog/cat eating in Springfield, my understanding is that the catalyst for the story ended up being a woman in Canton who was actually arrested for it and has since plead insanity. Springfield authorities have denied it's an issue, law enforcement has denied it's an issue and has no open cases, but there are several alleged stories from locals which are are difficult to verify.

I have issue that Trump/Vance doubled down on the comments about it with all of the above information. Why couldn't they just say it was in Canton or state that the Springfield reports were from locals and not from authorities. Those statements should be vetted for truth first. Instead they push so hard with fiery rhetoric before truth can be determined.

I am not in Springfield so I don't know what the truth is, so I am not making any judgement (this is what adults do). Trump/Vance should do the same, but that reaction doesn't score points on the campaign trail.

Side note, what is going on with this alleged affidavit from an ABC whistleblower? I have read from dubious sources that have shown some kind affidavit with the name redacted. This feels like the kind illegal crap Donald Segretti was known for in the 70s to aid Nixon's re-election. On the other hand it could be true, but with the name redacted it's impossible to vet the thing.

It made me chuckle to think that Trump/Vance would act like adults.

How is that response anything other than childish? If it was so demonstrably true, you would have Springfield residents in the streets protesting and on the news declaring the emergency. They aren't. We do have Trump/Vance doubling and tripling down on the story. Another thing that is childish is the unwillingness to admit they might or are wrong.

Well there was the woman who filed a police report about her neighbors eating her cat only to find it hiding in her basement.

Okay, I really don’t think most of the “normal” Left realized just how batshit crazy the Fringe Left is.

This is why a lot of people vote for Trump even though it’s Trump. They see this, and they think it’s what drives the party, and are (very understandably) just like….NOPE!

An impassioned rant on how cows are being raped to produce milk! GOOD GOD!!

Cow's milk is delicious.

Cow's milk is delicious.

Yes. It is.

I'm sorry. When I see Trump I can't help but wonder how TF ANY reasonable person could support this guy. And then I see things like this certifiably insane person going off about the systematic raping of cows. And I'm like "Oh, yeah. That's why."
