deanblundell.substack.comVIDEO: Trump’s South Carolina Rally Was a DISASTROUS Mental and Physical Public Breakdown and Everyone Saw It. Good. LORD.Grunts, blanks, incoherence, slurring, protesters getting beaten at his behest, a forgotten Nobel Prize and a man insisting he doesn’t ramble. The decline is on tape now. Trump is dying

The “Tommy” shown in this viral video from Abdul El-Sayed is a former staffer for Sen. Josh Hawley and the son of a GOP strategist. For nearly five minutes, El-Sayed questioned the man about his understanding of the Constitution and the religious freedom it affords all Americans. Simply brilliant.

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

Trump tries to start a race war: "The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants ... The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back!"

Oh yeah, those are definitely the Big Two when it comes to understanding socialism. Check out the big brain on J.D. here! He's definitely not an idiot.

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

I can't believe I have to say this: Richard Nixon was corrupt and Congress was right to force him out. But, according to Trump's DOJ and a GOP congressman, Nixon was subject to a Deep State coup. Nonsense. This is just Trump trying to rewrite the past to obscure his corruption today. Link below ⬇️

Samuel Alito: We won't overturn Obergefell because it's engendered reliance interests. Jan Crawford: Well, many people had organized their lives around Roe v. Wade. Alito: No, they didn't. Women merely had an "abstract" interest in "ideas about the kind of society that they were going to live in."

I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home. /1

Talking about my struggles with being overweight still makes me uncomfortable, since weight can carry moral judgment in ways that other health challenges don't. But that fear stops too many struggling from getting treatment that could extend their lives.

THE SOUTH CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS You don’t get to profit off Black athletes on Saturday, then spend the rest of the week gerrymandering Black political power out of existence. We know what’s up! Hakeem Jeffries makes the connection perfectly.

A MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS SHOULDN’T EVEN BE IN QUESTION AT THIS POINT And we definitely need more reporting on this issue: HEAT Data centers devour electricity and water, dump heat into communities, and Big Tech is building them faster than lawmakers are dealing with the consequences.

in your next zoom interview have not only a cup of ice coffee but seven or eight different cups of various beverages just off camera and casually drink from each of them throughout the interview the drinks should have fancy straws or colorful parasols or large pieces of fruit on the edge of the cup

Every news story must address this. And in 6 weeks, “we can be the adults in the room. We can perform an intervention. We can state loudly & clearly there’s a psychiatric emergency and we need responsible leaders who will use their power to lessen the danger.” www.americaamerica.news/p/america-we...

americaamerica.newsWe Are Facing a Psychiatric EmergencyThe media needs to step up. Donald Trump needs to be removed from office.
