    Georgia former Lt Gov laying down some truth

    Ex-GOP Official Hits Donald Trump With A Cold, Harsh Truth On CNN (msn.com)
    “I don’t know what I’m more mad at. I go back and forth minute to minute,” Duncan earlier admitted. “Am I more mad at Donald Trump trying to sabotage good policy and good legislation to keep the trains on time?” he asked. “Or am I more mad that we’re at this epitome of stupidity again and half the people in that room couldn’t pass a high school economics class and don’t realize the damage that they’re doing just to try to prime up an extra 15 likes on Twitter?”

    “It infuriates me to watch us get to this spot,” Duncan added. “When you look at the mechanics of what’s going on, we’ve already budgeted the money and now we just don’t want to write the check for it. If we do that at home, we ultimately go to jail or get evicted or lose your car of your wife leaves you or something.”
    ......................................
    Duncan initially endorsed Biden’s reelection campaign and has now publicly backed Kamala Harris for the White House.

    “I think it’s important to reinforce the fact to Republicans around the country that just because you vote for Kamala Harris in 2024, doesn’t mean you’re Democrat,” Duncan said on CNN last month.”It just means you’re a patriot. You’re doing your duty as an American to step up to the plate and reclaim this country’s future.”

    The flow of mendacity coming from trump is truly unprecedented. In the past month - just 30 days here are some of the biggest bald-faced lies told by trump. His voters want more of this? Me? I’m exhausted from the constant lies, scandals and chaos from his first term.
    1. trump said Harris wants to reinstate the military draft
    2. Harris had notes for TV interview
    3. Schools are sending kids off for trans surgery without parents knowledge
    4. Said Harris met with Putin just before Ukraine invasion
    5. Claimed that only recently did Harris acknowledge her blackness
    6. Claimed Harris was first to drop from 2020 presidential race (14/22)
    7. Said everyone wanted Roe v Wade overturned
    8. Said that if Dems didn’t cheat he would win CA.
    9. Said he won “Man of the Year” award (no such award exists).
    10. Said the Congo was sending its prisoners to US
    11. Said the Biden government had planned to release downward jobs revision after Nov 5.
    12. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the dogs.
    13. Brand new today: if he doesn’t win its the fault of Jews

    Trump loses the Jewish vote, preemptively blaming them if he loses. Why did Trump not run a campaign with this level of intelligence in 2016?

    Harris campaign, Jewish groups fiercely criticize Trump preemptively blaming Jewish voters if he loses

    Kamala picks up the republican vote: says she has a gun and knows how to use it. Could this election get any weirder?

    Trump loses the Teamsters: they apparently refuse to endorse anyone in this election. Trump's anti-union policies did not go over well with them, and Harris has not been paying enough attention to them. Harris (& Biden) do have a better record of getting the union what they want, like rescuing their pension fund. The other major unions have all endorsed Harris.

    The Reason This Union Gave for Not Endorsing Harris Is Shocking. But It Makes One Thing Clear.

    Republicans are "deconstructing" with the realization that Trump is a horrible human being and an incompetent leader. Many are citing his insurrection attempt as the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. Some say it was Trump having a crowd in front of a church tear-gassed so he could have a photo-op of himself holding a bible in front of the church. (Ironically, it appears that the church had boarded up its windows in anticipation of the horror of being associated with Trump.) This election could be a blowout of epic proportions if republicans continue to deconstruct and wake up to the realities of who Trump is. Especially if Trump continues to run his mouth and trash entire segments of society (women, Jews, immigrants, etc.). The modern Hitler may yet be defeated.

    Trump's problem is that he is running against someone with a minimal level of integrity and trustworthiness. In 2016, he ran against Hillary, who was not considered trustworthy. A more regular (and intelligent) republican politician would do better against Harris, running against her record of supporting extreme liberal policies. Trump can't do that effectively because his policies are all over the place and highly unpredictable. The fact that he's losing his mind as he ages is not helping him either--it is a major distraction to being able to listen to his policies when he drifts off into talk about how big his crowds are and how they went crazy for him, even if there were no crowds.

    Another nail in Trump's political coffin: Harris has raised three times as much money in August as the alleged billionaire Trump, with a $257 million to $85 million advantage for the month. The democrats currently have $286 million to spend on campaigns for this election compared to $214 million for the republicans (57% to 43%). If Trump believed in himself and the benefits of his governance, wouldn't he try to put his own money INTO the campaign, instead of looking for ways to extract money FROM the campaign? Maybe squeezing the elderly Fox News viewers for their medicine money was not the brightest option.

    Harris' fundraising triples Trump's in August, growing Democrat's warchest, FEC filings show

    This could be a blowout, folks . . .

    Trump loses the Muslim vote with a promise to not take refugees from "infested countries" while trying to kiss up to Jews, specifically mentioning that he would reinstate a Muslim travel ban.

    Trump vows to restore Muslim ban saying he won’t take refugees from ‘infested countries’

    With the rate of progress that Trump made in his first term as president, he should be able to completely seal the border with Mexico with another 38 terms as president. He will be 230 years old when it's complete, the longest living human (we think he's human) in modern history.

    New Trump policy: limit credit card interest rate to 10%.

    Unintended consequence: eliminating credit cards for poor people.

    Trump = not smart.

    Trump wants to cap credit card interest rates at 10% — critics warn that it could cause people to lose their cards

    Look at how many here tried to justify his Haitian claims, with everything from a guy seen with a dead goose in Columbus to cats missing in Jacksonville.’
