Last time a politician was so denounced by the establishment, he wound up with his face on the $20 bill.

Not to worry, I have it on good authority that the old man is being replaced by a Black woman. Seriously.

The big orange snowflake ran to his safe space at the Fox Defamation Channel last night and he said that his debate performance was the greatest of all time, that he was fact-checked 9 or 11 times, and best of all, that the crowd went crazy for his GOATness.

Aren't we just being a little harsh on Trump and his debate performances, though? I mean, he is such a master debater and does actually sometimes get something right, you know, and it's usually about the very bigly things. Case in point: Remember that time during the second debate in 2020 where he warned us all that if Joe Biden was elected, "the stock will crash," and just look: DJT Stock

With the stock market hitting another all-time high today, that stock is definitely crashing, so all you MAGA cult morons who bought at around $90 cannot say he didn't warn you.

He's a 78 year old bottle-blonde delusional, lying mental case in clown make-up. Pathetic, needy, and weak. Unfit to inhabit anything other than a prison cell.

On the bright side, he'll get a Bible... so he could take a rock hammer and some of that pornography of his wife that she calls "art" and hang it in his cell and pretend he's in Shawshank Redemption. Or maybe Jailhouse Rock since he thinks he's "greater even than Elvis."

Nobody at the time really understood what a political party was going to be: a permanent institution that includes a set of politicians, a set of constituencies among the electorate, and an electioneering organization. If any of those is missing, it's not really a political party in the modern sense. We can identify Federalists and Republicans among the founding generation, as categories that can reasonably be denoted by a pair of proper nouns rather than merely as descriptive categories of people who were more federalist or more republican in their political philosophy. Duverger's Law tells us that two is the only stable number of serious candidates in a winner-take-all plurality election. It doesn't tell us whether electioneering will be regarded as unseemly, with people carefully maintaining a fiction that The People are spontaneously moved to seek out the best person for the office, or whether there will be ward bosses engaging in corrupt machine politics, (and defending the practice as virtuous) or what.

When something elicits this kind of establishment condemnation, there's something big underway. There's probably something ahead that's as different from the current system as the Whigs and Democrats were from the Federalists and Republicans.

The vast majority of them actually make this pious proclamation in order to prove to others (and sometimes themselves) that they -- and the politicians they support -- aren't inherently racist... despite a plethora of evidence to the contrary. They don't generally like being called racist because, you know, the truth hurts. It's just so much easier to hide behind the "we're for legal immigration" label when they're obviously and transparently not.

However, in today's GOP, the Overton window has undeniably shifted as they've been supplied a permission structure by Trump (and now Vance) wherein many of them are letting their freak flags fly and going full-on racist... as well as full-throttle misogynist. We're now well past the point where the MAGAverse and its minions are the least bit concerned with their exploitation of others based on their bigotry regarding race, gender, I could go on. Their gaslighting knows no bounds.

Dude! You mean you weren't a member of the mail order Columbia House and/or BMG Music Club, 12 CDs for a penny, negative option billing extravaganza!? Missed opportunity. ;)

VP Harris could never be so humble.

. . . and Bagram is in Alaska and it has more oil than Saudi Arabia.

If only he didn't have that running mate dragging him down.
