Joe Biden and Company have just spend four days pushing diversity, caring, hope and some sort of normalcy….
Donald Trump and company HAVE been pushing egotism, racism, fear and negativity from the jump ….
Trump is back at it….
And ?….
As expected?
He’s NOT just focused on Joe Biden…
But is going after the woman of color on the ticket….
Kamala Harris…
And true to form?
Donald Trump IS and WILL continue to make stuff up that ain’t true…..
He ads to this ….
That if he’s gone?….America will be in trouble?
Huh?
President Trump unleashed a scorched-earth campaign on Thursday against former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. hours before Mr. Biden was to accept the Democratic presidential nomination, predicting “mayhem” if his rival won the general election in November.
“At stake in this election is the survival of our nation, it’s true,” Mr. Trump told a small crowd in a Pennsylvania town not far from where Mr. Biden was born. “Because we’re dealing with crazy people on the other side. They’ve gone totally stone-cold crazy.”
The president took aim at Senator Kamala Harris of California, the Democratic nominee for vice president, seeking to stoke fear of immigrants by offering a brutal description of a case involving an undocumented immigrant who was included in a jobs program while Ms. Harris was the top prosecutor in San Francisco….
…
Mr. Trump’s attack on Ms. Harris was an echo of the Willie Horton episode during the 1988 presidential race between Vice President George Bush and Gov. Michael S. Dukakis of Massachusetts. Mr. Bush’s campaign and its allies repeatedly invoked Mr. Horton — a Black prisoner in Massachusetts who, while released on a furlough program, raped a white woman — to suggest Mr. Dukakis was soft on crime.
…
Seeking to undermine Mr. Biden’s appeal in rural, blue-collar parts of Pennsylvania, the president lashed out at him, saying that Mr. Biden had “abandoned” his hometown, Scranton, when his family moved when he was a young boy.
Mr. Trump said that Mr. Biden had been at the forefront of a “globalist attack on Pennsylvania voters,” citing the former vice president’s support of trade deals with Mexico, China, South Korea and “the horrible, ridiculous Paris climate accords.”
“As far as I’m concerned,” Mr. Trump asserted, “Joe Biden is no friend of Pennsylvania.”
In his remarks, the president also ascribed to Mr. Biden many positions that he does not actually hold or he mischaracterized Mr. Biden’s proposals….

Scott P says
Rush Limbaugh is spreading a lie that Biden’s speech must have been taped. This is an admission that his speech was effective.
Zreebs says
Republicans have only themselves to blame for setting such low expectations for Biden. And that was part of the reason Biden’s speech was effective.
Scott P says
Yeah “Sleepy Joe” wasn’t working so they went with “Senile Joe”..
From what I’ve seen lately on social media Trump cultists have begun referring to Democrats as “evil”. It kind of reminds me of the “Satanic Panic” of the 1980s when Evangelical hustlers like Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell claimed heavy metal music was the tool of the devil. Eventually they started calling all sorts of pop culture “evil”. It was laughable.
Zreebs says
Republicans calling Democrats evil is similar to Republicans calling Democrats fascists.

Conservatism Is Bunk
Part 1
“I was a Republican in the Senate for twelve years and we cared about fiscal issues,world leadership,and free trade.I look at the Republican Party now and we are isolationist,protectionist,and care nothing about keeping these institutions that have kept the world safe in many ways.
Former Tennessee Senator Bob Corker

Conservatism is Bunk
Part 2
Conservatives used to claim they believed in free trade and were maniacal on the subject of taxes.In October, 2019, the generally conservative Tax Foundation found the Trump Administration had so far imposed $80 billion dollars worth of new taxes on Americans by levying tariffs on thousands of products ,which is equivalent to one of the largest tax increases in decades.
My Name Is Jack says
Conservatism Is Bunk
Part3
Conservatives have opposed “bailouts”0f various kinds,most notably the TARP program during the Great Recession ,notably assistance to the auto industry.By the fall of 2019 such opposition had been reversed.The Republican bailout to farmers victimized by the Republican tariffs was Twice the size of the TARP auto bailout.

Oh I’m not finished .
This will be a continuing series.
More to come of their putrid hypocrisies .
jamesb says
And the Trump Bull Shit and lies have begun!
The twitter universe is on fire with tweets about Trump at 56% in New York and that the state will go Red!
Honest….
This is straight out of the Russian disinformation text book
Democratic Socialist Dave says
I can’t think of a Republican that New York has voted for since Ronald Reagan’s re-election in 1984 (49 states vs Minn & D.C. for Mondale).
Democratic Socialist Dave says
Of course, that’s New York state as a whole. Upstate has voted GOP from time to time.
Zreebs says
The Siena College poll in late June had Biden up by 25 points over Trump in NY. I think it us fair to say that this is not worthy of too much discussion.
ronnieevan says
I have my “say it once and you’re covered” theory of Republicans. John Thune, second ranking Republican in the Senate, said on August 5 that Trump’s disinformation campaign on mail-in voting is wrong. He most probably won’t repeat this as he is now officially on record as opposing it. These people think that they will be covered when Trump carries out his plans. It’s not about standing for something it’s about running for cover. It won’t work, he is still enabling.
