Resisting the sanewashing & normwashing of Donald Trump & JD Vance…
As so usually today, Trump has no concept what the query he’s being requested is. And so after his first 5 phrases repeating a number of the query the entire thing degenerates into sub-Turing ChatGPT2-level phrase salad. How Trump will get from “infrastructure” to a free-floating “it” which he then interprets to imply “real estate” after which the issue turns into “rising real-estate prices” and “housing affordability”.
Q: How will you shield essential infrastructure within the US from the Chinese language Communist Celebration?
Donald Trump: Nicely, we’re gonna shield it by saying you may’t come. You may’t do it. We don’t need you shopping for our land and mainly taking it off the market. We don’t need you doing it. They usually’re shopping for it at ranges we’ve by no means seen earlier than. We don’t need you shopping for it. It’s a very simple factor to do… https://x.com/atrupar/standing/1838310355446964444>
A really extraordinary diploma of ethical cowardice on show right here. If you happen to don’t consider him, you don’t consider him—you can’t then “not not believe him”, as a result of “do not believe him” is what you do:
Very often they do say what they suppose out loud, in public:
JD Vance: I definitely would really like abortion to be unlawful nationally…
What do we now have to conclude a few press corps that retains sanewashing issues like this?? THE ALL CAPS ARE IN THE ORIGINAL:
Donald Trump: WOMEN ARE POORER THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS HEALTHY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS SAFE ON THE STREETS THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE MORE DEPRESSED AND UNHAPPY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, AND ARE LESS OPTIMISTIC AND CONFIDENT IN THE FUTURE THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO! I WILL FIX ALL OF THAT, AND FAST, AND AT LONG LAST THIS NATIONAL NIGHTMARE WILL BE OVER. WOMEN WILL BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, CONFIDENT AND FREE! YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION, BECAUSE IT IS NOW WHERE IT ALWAYS HAD TO BE, WITH THE STATES, AND A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE – AND WITH POWERFUL EXCEPTIONS, LIKE THOSE THAT RONALD REAGAN INSISTED ON, FOR RAPE, INCEST, AND THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER—BUT NOT ALLOWING FOR DEMOCRAT DEMANDED LATE TERM ABORTION IN THE 7TH, 8TH, OR 9TH MONTH, OR EVEN EXECUTION OF A BABY AFTER BIRTH. I WILL PROTECT WOMEN AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THEY WILL FINALLY BE HEALTHY, HOPEFUL, SAFE, AND SECURE. THEIR LIVES WILL BE HAPPY, BEAUTIFUL, AND GREAT AGAIN!…
In what sense is Mike DeWine a “supporter” of Donald Trump and JD Vance? He both works for his constituents to guard them for enemies international and home, or he phrases for the Dynamic Neofascist Grifting Duo. He’s attempting to have it each methods. However I don’t suppose this straddle can work:
Mike DeWine: ‘As a supporter of former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance, I am saddened by how they and others continue to repeat claims that lack evidence and disparage the legal migrants living in Springfield. This rhetoric hurts the city and its people, and it hurts those who have spent their lives there. … The Springfield I know is not the one you hear about in social media rumors. It is a city made up of good, decent, welcoming people. They are hard workers—both those who were born in this country and those who settled here because, back in their birthplace, Haiti, innocent people can be killed just for cheering on the wrong team in a soccer match…. I am proud of this community, and America should be, too…
And they have essentially a very large faucet. and you turn the faucet, and it takes a day to turn it. It takes one day to turn it. It’s large. It’s as large because the wall of that constructing proper there behind you. And also you flip that, and all the water goes into the—aimlessly into the Pacific.
And in the event that they turned it again, all of that water would come proper down right here and proper into Los Angeles. They wouldn’t need to have individuals not use greater than 30 gallons and 32 gallons. They need to try this, you realize. They’re attempting to try this. And you’ve got a lot water.. And all these fields which can be proper now barren. The farmers would have all of the water they wanted. and you can revert water up into the hills, the place you might have all of the lifeless forests, the place the forests are so brittle…
Sundowning in America: Josh Marshall has a believable clarification for why Donald Trump thinks Bagram is an airbase in Afghanistan and in addition an oilfield in Alaska that may effectively be greater than all of the oil in Saudi Arabia. The Alaska Nationwide Wildlife Refuge, underneath which there’s some oil, has the acronym ANWR, pronounced “Anwar”.
Thus Josh’s guess is that ChatGPTrump went: Alaska → ANWR → Anwar → Arabic identify → Bagram & oil. By no means you thoughts that they don’t communicate Arabic in Afghanistan—Trump doesn’t know that.
Josh Marshall & Kate Riga: The Put up-Debate Universe… talkingpointsmemo.com/podcasts/the-josh…>
I do consider that this precisely captures the state of Trump’s pondering. So the place are the three New York Instances tales a day about how Trump’s dementia is just too superior for him to have the ability to plausibly fill the workplace of president?
Donald Trump thinks Bagram is an oil discipline in Alaska that “might be… bigger than all of Saudi Arabia”. But his word-salad ChatGPT2-class sub-Turing dementia mind additionally dimly is aware of that it’s an airbase someplace. And an oil discipline:
Donald Trump: ‘We were energy independent, we were soon going to be energy dominant, and we would’ve been now having a lot cash popping out of the vitality. We simply have the most effective. We’ve got Bagram in Alaska. They are saying it may be as large, may be greater than, all of Saudi Arabia. I obtained it permitted. Ronald Reagan couldn’t do it. No one may do it. I obtained it completed…. Test that one out, Bagram. Test that one out. It’s, it’s—no, take into consideration this: Between Bagram, between—you go to ANWR, you check out the sort of issues that we’ve given up. We needs to be—we must always have that air base. We should always have that oil…
However:
Amy McGrath: ‘Bagram was the airbase… in Afghanistan—the same base where we kept hundreds of Taliban and ISIS prisoners that Trump released back out into Afghanistan in his final year in office. He is CLUELESS folks…
JD Vance, dumb as a box of hammers:
For some reason, Republicans who have given their dignity to Trump have decided to draw a line in the sand—Loony Laura Loomer hugging Trump in public is, for some reason, a step too far, when nothing else has been:
Eric Blair: ‘Ok. I’m beginning to surprise if there’s something greater underneath the floor occurring with Laura Loomer. Republicans didn’t react this solution to Pizzagate, or Chris Rufo, or S Miller. They love racism and conspiracy theories. So why are craven GOP pols like Tillis reacting like this?:
Thom Tillis: “Laura Loomer is a crazy conspiracy theorist who regularly utters disgusting garbage intended to divide Republicans. A DNC plant couldn’t do a better job than she is doing to hurt President Trump’s chance of winning re-election. Enough… https://bsky.app/profile/protecttruth.bsky.social/post/3l44lk2d5e62d>
JD Vance goes absolutely feral—too dumb to recognize that he is the kind of guy who yells at his children interrupting his work for a “billionaire celebrity who is fundamentally disconnected from the interests and problems of most Americans”: Donald Trump:
Some realism about his lack of vitality and cognitive chops leaks via:
Donald Trump: I do not know that I need to do one other debate…
Keep in mind what was on Donald Trump’s thoughts on September 11, 2001?
When somebody tells you he’s a demented, raving fascist who will arrest, deport, and imprison thousands and thousands of immigrants and opponents, consider him—particularly when he’s immunized in opposition to all legal responsibility for issues he colours as “official actions”:
Robert B. Hubbell: Trump suffers emotional break; media pretends it didn’t occur: ‘A major party candidate for president suffered what can only be described as an emotional break or medical emergency that resulted in a sudden acceleration in the deterioration of his already deteriorating cognitive abilities and further loss of control over his delusional impulses…. Donald Trump: “CEASE & DESIST: I, together with many Attorneys and Legal Scholars, am watching the Sanctity of the 2024 Presidential Election very closely because I know, better than most, the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election. It was a Disgrace to our Nation! Therefore, the 2024 Election, where Votes have just started being cast, will be under the closest professional scrutiny and, WHEN I WIN, those people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again. We cannot let our Country further devolve into a Third World Nation, AND WE WON’T! Please beware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters, & Corrupt Election Officials. Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country…” To be clear, Trump is threatening—in advance—to impose “long-term prison sentences .. . . never before seen in this country” on lawyers, election officials, donors, voters, and politicians whom Trump views as opponents… https://roberthubbell.substack.com/p/trump-suffers-emotional-break-media>
Where did JD Vance get the idea that there is mass eating of pets by immigrants in Springfield, OH anyway? How gullible is he:

The question was: SANDER GERBER: “Mr. President, for all the details on your economic policy, as you alluded to, tariffs are the other side of sanctions. And given that China is our major trading partner with our largest imbalance and possibly our chief, security, national security threat to the United States, how can we better institutionalize trade policy and national security policy to be coordinated?”
Donald Trump: I had a great relationship with President Xi of China. Really very close relationship. Now he likes China. I like us. So. But I don’t want to. He was my dear, dear friend. He’s a tough guy. He’s a fierce person. I say very smart.
But we had a very good relationship with China until Covid. And when that came in, it was a whole different ballgame as far as I was concerned. And we made a great China trade deal, maybe better than the USMCA.
And I’d never talk about it because what happened with COVID for the whole world, $60 trillion in, you know, deaths, 70,000,060, nobody even knows how many deaths. And it all came out of Wuhan. So it changed my relationship.
But I think I’ll have a great relationship with China. I had one before, and they respected us. But they respected us because they no longer thought we were fools. They used to think we were fools because we built China. They would take over $500 billion a year and use it for their military and other things. And we got nothing on that. We got some cheap product. We got, you can buy 19 pencils instead of two. Who the hell cares? You can buy 16 dolls for your daughter instead of two nice dolls. And we got very little out of that relationship.
They got a tremendous military power, and they still have it today. So.
But I believe we will have a very good relationship with China and with a lot of other countries that we’re not getting along with too well today. And things are going to straighten, we’re going to get an straightened out very quickly, very important that we get along with the rest of the world.
You know, we have things today called nuclear weapons. I rebuilt our whole military, including our nuclear capability. And so I got very familiar with it.
And, you know, I say this often because I had an uncle who was the longest serving, I believe the longest serving. I was told that by MIT, but he was at 39, I guess 41 years, longest serving professor in the history of MIT in nuclear, something he knew a lot about. And we used to talk about, and I’d say, Uncle John, there’s no way he was telling me about this incredible power that was being unleashed potentially. And I say, Uncle John, you could never. And you know what? He was very modest because I’ve seen the destructive capability, and this world is going to have to get along because if that’s ever unleashed, we already have too many countries that have at least remnants of it, some of it probably five countries, if you think.
And Kim Jong Un.
When I went to the White House after winning in 2016, I sat with President Obama, which is a ritual. And you said, and you talk. And I said, what’s the biggest problem? He said, North Korea is the biggest problem. I don’t think it’s solvable. I said, have you tried calling him or talking to him? Actually, the answer was yes, and he wasn’t responded to, but I did, and we were very safe.
It started off a little rocky, if you remember a little rocket man. I called and told me things, too. He’s got a red button on his desk. I said, I have a bigger red button, and my red button works, I said. And then it started getting a little nicer. And then one day I got a call that they’d like to meet. And it was a great thing. We had a great meeting. We had two meetings, actually, two great meeting summits, and we had no problem with them.
Now they have a problem because they’re not, like, in this administration. They don’t respect this administration at all. So we have to get along. We have to get along. We can’t have World War Three. You’re going to end up in World War III, just like you should have never had Russia go in. It would have never happened. If a competent person led us, it would have never happened. He led them into it.
And I’m not blaming Biden, but you know what? What he was saying was exactly the wrong thing.
I said, we’re going to have an invasion because of a lot of the rhetoric. It was stupid rhetoric, but it would have never happened. Not only for that reason. Oil was down low. You know, oil was almost at a barrel. So Putin is one of the only people. I mean, nothing’s easy in life, but Putin at $100 a barrel, war works at $40 a barrel. It didn’t work at all.
So we’re going to get back to an intelligently run place, a place where other countries aren’t using the word nuclear. That word was never talked about during my. Because I knew the power of it and I talked to Putin about it.
I talked to President Xi about it. I think we were going to. Do you remember the talk where we were going to reduce nuclear capability substantially, all three of us, we’re going to start, we’re going to reduce very substantially. And then we had the election. And after the election, they didn’t talk about that or anything else likely.
But we have to be very, very careful because the destructive capability of nuclear, when people talk about global warming, I say the ocean is going to go down 100th of an inch within the next 400. That’s not our problem.
Our problem is nuclear warming. And we better be smart, and we better have smart people at the top that know how to deal, because these people don’t know how to deal.
Putin came out today. He endorsed Kamala. And I didn’t know what they were supposed to call him up and say, thank you very much. I appreciate it. But he endorsed Kamala.
I have a feeling. I don’t know. I don’t know exactly what to say about that. I don’t know if I’m insulted or he did me a favor. But we have to get along with the world. We can’t have war because the destructive capability. You can be the head of the biggest bank, wherever the hell Jamie is sitting. You can be the head of the biggest bank in the world, and a couple of nukes in your bank doesn’t mean a thing.
You gotta get along because this is such an important job. It’s a dangerous job too. Very dangerous job. Statistically, being president is very dangerous. That throbbing feeling I have.
Oh, that throbbing feeling now. It’s a very dangerous job and you have to do it right. And if you don’t do it right, bad things will happen to the world. Things like you’ve never seen before.
Okay, thank you very much.
If Joe Biden or Kamala Harris were ever to have given such a completely inane and cognitively empty response to any question:
Interviewer: ‘What specific legislation will you commit to to make child care affordable?
Donald Trump: ‘Well, I would do that, and we’re sitting down, and I was, somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so, uh, impactful on that issue. It’s a very important issue. But I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I’m talking about, that, because, look, child care is child care is. Couldn’t, you know, there’s something, you have to have it—in this country you have to have it.
But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I’m talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they’re not used to—but they’ll get used to it very quickly—and it’s not gonna stop them from doing business with us, but they’ll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country. Uh, those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we’re talking about, including child care, that it’s going to take care.
We’re gonna have—I, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with, uh, the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care. I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I’m talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just, uh, that I just told you about.
We’re gonna be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care, uh, is talked about as being expensive, it’s, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we’ll be taking in. We’re going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and then we’ll worry about the rest of the world. Let’s help other people, but we’re going to take care of our country first. This is about America first. It’s about Make America Great Again, we have to do it because right now we’re a failing nation, so we’ll take care of it.
Trump the very special genius plays 91-dimensional chess:

Donald Trump has forgotten who the Democratic Celebration’s nominee for President is:

Anyone in New Hampshire—as a result of they’re watching proper now—anyone in New Hampshire that votes for Biden and Kamala, I actually suppose, I name her Comrade Kamala as a result of that’s what her ideology is, however you realize that she did one thing after many years and many years and many years; it was Iowa, the primary two—Iowa, New Hampshire—that’s what approach individuals thought it was gonna be.

Ummm… Actuality test for JD Vance: Tons and many ladies like first-person shooter video games too.

Sure, you may argue that there are issues in hormone ranges that predispose boys to need to follow utilizing energy to grasp chaos, and that predispose ladies to need to follow creating harmonious and efficient team-family relationships. However it’s a must to be profoundly silly to not understand that naked is again with out brother behind. The variations in elementary biology-induced attitudes are remarkably small:
JD Vance: ‘One of the weird things about elite society is it’s deeply uncomfortable with masculinity…. That is one bizarre factor that conservatives don’t speak about sufficient.… We don’t speak sufficient about the truth that conventional masculine traits at the moment are actively suppressed from childhood during maturity…. There’s one thing deeply cultural and organic, religious about this want to defend his house and his household…. If the Chinese language invade us in 10 years, they’re going to be crushed again by boys such as you who follow combating the monsters who develop into proud males who defend their houses…. They’re not going to be defended by the soy boys who need to feed the monsters…
The value of bacon relative to non-public revenue per capita has solely been noticeably decrease than it’s as we speak for a few 12 months in 1994-1995:
Attempt to parse Donald Trump’s speech as we speak, and he presents as a random textual content generator with a ten-word reminiscence: “bacon” results in “products” which results in “energy” which results in “wind” which results in “when [wind] doesn’t blow” which results in “problem”. However there isn’t a prepare of thought right here in any respect. This presents as a really excessive degree of cognitive deficit certainly:
Donald Trump: ‘You take a look at bacon and some of these products. Some people do not eat bacon anymore. And we are going to get the energy prices down. We get energy down. You know, this was caused by their horrible energy—wind. They want wind all over the place. But when it doesn’t blow, we now have a bit downside… https://newrepublic.com/submit/185496/trump-rant-bacon-wind-power>

Deluded & demented, Donald Trump claims he has completed extra for Israel than David ben Yishai or Yehudah Ha-Maccabi. I’ve but to discover a single Israeli prepared to say that Donald Trump is “the best friend that Israel, and the Jewish people, ever had…. I have done more for Israel than any person, and it’s not even close.” If Kamala Harris have been to, simply as soon as, lose her marbles to this extent…:

Jessica Winter: The Story That “Hillbilly Elegy” Doesn’t Inform: ‘Donna Morel, an attorney in San Diego… is a fact-checking hobbyist…. “Two generations ago, my grandparents were dirt-poor and in love,” Vance writes toward the start of “Hillbilly Elegy.” “They got married and moved north in the hope of escaping the dreadful poverty around them.” Bonnie and Jim Vance… Mamaw and Papaw, left their Appalachian home town… settling in Middletown, Ohio…. Vance describes Bonnie and Jim as “alone in their new city” and “isolated” from the family they felt closest to. He allows that Jim’s mom, Goldie, was “nearby,” however that Bonnie disliked her, and that she was “mostly a stranger to her own son.”…
“Hillbilly Elegy” doesn’t identify Jim’s stepfather, Julius Blackmon, who had labored at Armco for years earlier than Jim was employed there. (“Applicants with a family member working at Armco would move to the top of the employment list,” Vance notes in his memoir, with out making the connection.)… Bonnie and Jim lived with Jim’s mom and stepfather at two totally different residences following their transfer to Middletown, in response to the census information…. When Bonnie and Jim did get their very own place, it was lower than a mile away. And, when Julius Blackmon died, Jim was named the executor of his property—one more information level that contradicts the image of estrangement that Vance sketches in “Elegy.”…
Bonnie and Jim’s marriage was, at occasions, deeply troubled—in Vance’s telling, each of his grandparents have been violent, and Jim was a vicious drunk. However Vance praises them in his memoir and elsewhere for sticking it out. Later within the marriage, Vance writes in “Elegy,” they “separated and then reconciled, and although they continued to live in separate houses, they spent nearly every waking hour together.”… Bonnie and Jim—Vance’s flawed however heroic avatars of conventional marriage—entered divorce proceedings twice…. [On] March 22, 1955… Bonnie, then twenty-one, filed for divorce from Jim on grounds of “extreme cruelty” and “gross neglect of duty.”… The timing of Bonnie’s divorce petition is out of step with “Elegy,” wherein Vance’s Uncle Jimmy compares the early years of his dad and mom’ marriage to “Leave It to Beaver,” and says that, whereas their bond was all the time risky, earlier than the nineteen-sixties, “they were united, they were getting along with each other.”… In August, 1957, the divorce submitting was dismissed “without record,” leaving no documented clue as to why. Bonnie and Jim went on to have two extra youngsters…. 1 / 4 century after… Jim filed for divorce from Bonnie; Bonnie filed a counterclaim, and, in 1981… the courtroom discovered Jim “guilty of gross neglect of duty.” Nonetheless, the couple didn’t divorce. As an alternative, they legally separated… https://www.newyorker.com/tradition/the-lede/the-story-that-hillbilly-elegy-doesnt-tell>
The road in “Hillbilly Elegy” on the finish of chapter 3 about how:
Mamaw and Papaw ultimately obtained their act collectively. Papaw give up ingesting in 1983, a call accompanied by no medical intervention and never a lot fanfare. He merely stopped and stated little about it. He and Mamaw separated after which reconciled, and though they continued to dwell in separate homes, they spent almost each waking hour collectively…
was all the time bizarre: they have been legally separated for Vance’s whole life. And whereas there was a authorized separation, was there ever a authorized reconciliation?
I’m informed that when he was in Iraq within the Marines JD Vance spent his time in an air-conditioned workplace typing up press releases. “REMF”, “Chair-Borne Infantry”, “Feather Merchant”, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Nothing could possibly be stupider than claiming that Donald Trump exemplifies the U.S. Marine advantage of “Semper Fi”. Nothing may extra display JD Vance’s REMF nature than claiming that he does so:
JD Vance: ‘I honor every member of every branch of our armed forces, but the one thing that I think the Marines really do well is we have the best motto. I’m biased with Semper Fidelis—all the time devoted, proper? You hear Marines say it on a regular basis, “Semper Fi”, and to me, what it means is that Marines are all the time devoted to our nation. I need to expound upon it as a result of I actually do suppose that Donald Trump exemplifies that motto…
No one could possibly be much less just like the constructive self-image of the Marines than Donald Trump:
Donald Trump: ‘We gave her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It’s a lot better than the Congressional Medal of Honor as a result of troopers get the Congressional. They usually’re in very unhealthy form as a result of they have been hit so many occasions by bullets or they’re lifeless. She will get it and she or he’s a wholesome, stunning lady. They usually’re rated equal…
