MAGA GOPers masquerading as Christian Evangelicals are disgusting. The accusation that Haitian immigrants in a small Ohio city are abducting and eating their neighbors’ cats and dogs relies not on one falsehood but on a web of them. The rhetoric evokes racist tropes about “savages” who do not conform to our civilized Western world. There’s also a religious angle: the idea that Haitian refugees are voodoo occultists who might be worshipping the devil. As an evangelical Christian who actually believes in the existence of Satan, I agree that we can indeed see the work of the devil at play here, only it’s not on the menu of the Haitian families but rather in the cruelty of those willing to lie about them. If this were just about the readiness of some Americans to believe grifters who want to keep them angry and scared, we could perhaps ignore it, putting it into the category of the friend from high school whose Facebook posts claim to have “the receipts” on the alien corpses the government is hiding from us in Roswell. This falsehood, though, was given voice by a former and perhaps future president of the United States in a televised debate and afterward. And the real-world consequences are chilling. The mayor of Springfield confirmed to reporters that elementary schools were evacuated in his town this week because of threats directly tied to lies about the Haitian community there. www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/09/trump-haitian-immigrants-lies/679886/

A double-digit increase in popularity, rising Democratic enthusiasm and an early edge for representing “change” have vaulted Vice President Kamala Harris forward and reshuffled the 2024 presidential contest, according to a new national NBC News poll. With just over six weeks until Election Day, the poll finds Harris with a 5-point lead over former President Donald Trump among registered voters, 49% to 44%. While that result is within the margin of error, it’s a clear shift from July’s poll, when Trump was ahead by 2 points before President Joe Biden’s exit. www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/poll-newly-popular-harris-challenging-trump-change-rcna171308

Preemptively blaming Jews, Trump crosses a dangerous line Donald Trump has always had an odd — and, frankly, offensive — way of talking to and about Jews. As much as he seeks to inoculate himself from any suggestion of antisemitism by invoking his Jewish son-in-law, Jewish (by conversion) daughter and Jewish grandchildren, he too often finds himself enjoying the support, and even the company, of outspoken antisemites and then has a hard time disavowing them. But when it comes to his comments about Jews, Trump has managed to outdo himself — at a campaign event billed as condemning antisemitism in America, no less. “I’m not going to call this as a prediction, but in my opinion, the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a loss if I’m at 40 percent” Jewish support in the polls,” Trump said Thursday, likely overstating his backing among Jewish voters. This was no one-off. Later that day, attending the annual summit of the conservative Israeli American Council, Trump raised the subject again. “If I don’t win this election … the Jewish people would really have a lot to do with that if that happens, because at 40 percent that means 60 percent of the people are voting for the enemy,” he warned. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/09/22/donald-trump-jews-dangerous-antisemitism/

This answer is no surprise coming from the lying coward. The Dems should offer him 10 million dollars if he wins. See how late it is then.

It's nice to read that some members of the former Republican party still have a shred of integrity. If only a shred.

Demented Donnie has no plans, just "concepts" of plans. What an effing malignant moron. When asked specifically how he would reduce prices as promised, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump responded by claiming that Democratic nominee Kamala Harris was incapable of answering such a question. Speaking in an interview that aired Sunday on Sinclair’s syndicated “Full Measure With Sharyl Attkisson,” Trump vowed to quickly bring energy and food prices down, but chose instead to focus on Harris instead of providing the specifics about his plans that Attkisson sought from him. www.politico.com/news/2024/09/22/trump-passes-up-opportunities-to-detail-his-economic-plans-00180386

Over 700 national security and military officials endorsed Kamala Harris for president Sunday in a letter that said the vice president "defends America's democratic ideals" while former President Trump "endangers" them. The big picture: The latest boost for Harris' campaign comes days after more than 100 Republican national security leaders endorsed the Democratic presidential nominee for president, including nine staffers who served in the Trump White House. www.axios.com/2024/09/22/national-security-officials-endorse-harris

Demented Donnie's dystopian view of America. What a POS. We know who he is and by HT "Republicans" silent acquiesence we know who you are, too. Donald Trump’s imaginary and frightening world In Donald Trump’s imaginary world, Americans can’t venture out to buy a loaf of bread without getting shot, mugged or raped. Immigrants in a small Ohio town eat their neighbors’ cats and dogs. World War III and economic collapse are just around the corner. And kids head off to school only to return at day’s end having undergone gender reassignment surgery. The former president’s imaginary world is a dark, dystopian place, described by Trump in his rallies, interviews, social media posts and debate appearances to paint an alarming picture of America under the Biden-Harris administration. It is a distorted, warped and, at times, absurdist portrait of a nation where the insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to deadly effect were merely peaceful protesters, and where unlucky boaters are faced with the unappealing choice between electrocution or a shark attack. His extreme caricatures also serve as another way for Trump to traffic in lies and misinformation, using an alternate reality of his own making to create an often terrifying — and, he seems to hope — politically devastating landscape for his political opponents. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/23/trump-imaginary-world/

Demented Donnie in a chicken suit! Brilliant! BOCK, BOCK, BOCK, BOCK!
Former president Donald Trump is holding a rally in Indiana, Pa., on Monday night, and the Democratic National Committee is launching a mobile billboard campaign in the city to call him out for not agreeing to a second presidential debate with Vice President Kamala Harris.
“There’s no debate: TRUMP’S A CHICKEN,” says the mobile billboard, which also features an illustration of Trump in a chicken costume.
On Saturday, Harris said she agreed to participate in a second debate scheduled for Oct. 23. That debate would be hosted by CNN. “I hope @realdonaldtrump will join me,” she said in an X post confirming her attendance.
Trump, however, has said he will not participate in a second debate. The two met for the first time on Sept. 10, and Trump said immediately afterward that he did not need to debate Harris again because “she lost tonight, very badly.” Polls have shown that voters largely saw Harris as that debate’s winner. On Saturday, during a rally in North Carolina, Trump told supporters that it’s “too late to do another” debate.
“I’d love to, in many ways, but it’s too late. The voting is cast,” he said, appearing to reference early voting, which has begun in several states.
While Trump said Oct. 23 is too late for a second debate, during the 2020 election campaign, he and Joe Biden debated on Oct. 22. -- WaPo 9/23/24
