Right now, another episode of : The whole Story with Anderson Cooper, about former President Trump' record and current stances on key issues.
Tonight on RDI, a very interesting documentary about the extremist right in USA.
It began on 2010 with the Tea Party and FOX NEWS. Donald Trump partipated by having a daily speach on that channel.
He encouraged the falsehood on Obama birth country.
After his election, he described the KKK and White Supremacist of Charlottesville as patriots.
And we all know is role in Jan 6th 2021 insurrection !
What will he do if he loses the 2024 election ?
It is worth watching for reasonnable people.
Trump and Elon Musk
"Trump on Tuesday said if he wins reelection he will “create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government,” adding that Musk has agreed to head the task force."
Wow!
No wonder they want him gone.
CNN Trump government efficiency commission
Interesting how CNN kinda diverts the topic from Auditing the Federal Government to Kamala vs Trump policies.
Audits and policies are two different categories of actions but CNN mixes it together diluting the plan to Audit the governance.

Right now, Trump is spewing shit before appearing in court in New-York about the E. J. Carroll case.
Pure unadulterated BS - like a 9 year old trying to do a book report on a book he never read:

Probably the expression on half of the viewing audience last night at the first debate (let's get you home gramps!)
If you're wondering how a 2nd Trump term will turn out, just look at his first term:
Here’s the biggest myth that Republican candidate Donald Trump is trying to sell to Americans and to the world: that he was a good president. Trump’s continuously repeated falsehoods about his record as president have convinced many people who find him to be a horrible person, but nevertheless support him because of what Trump says about his term in office. “Yes, I know, he’s 78, he’s not as sharp as he used to be, he lies all the time, he has cheated on his wives, he makes racist comments, he is a convicted felon, and he tried to carry out a coup after he lost the last elections. But he was a good president,” a Republican friend told me recently. Let me share with you some facts to help fight political amnesia. In fact, Trump was one of the worst presidents in recent history. Here are the facts:
A LARGER DEFICIT On the economy, Trump left the biggest deficit in U.S. history. Under Trump, the national debt grew much faster than during his successor Joe Biden. Like most populists, Trump cut taxes and spent as if there were no tomorrow, leaving a national debt that will have to be paid by our children and grandchildren for decades. The national debt rose by almost $7.8 trillion to $28 trillion during Trump’s four years in office, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The debt has kept growing since, but at a significantly slower pace.
As for the country’s economic growth, the U.S. economy under Trump grew by an overall 6.8%. By comparison, it grew by 8.4% in the Biden years. On the jobs’ front, Trump left office with 3 million fewer jobs than there were when he entered the White House. Granted, that was largely because of the pandemic, but Biden has added nearly 16 million jobs since then. Granted, inflation was lower under Trump than under Biden. The pandemic disrupted supply chains from China and made consumer prices soar in America in 2021 and 2022. But inflation has since fallen to 2.4%, close to its pre-pandemic levels.
A WEAKENED DEMOCRACY On democracy, Trump undermined democratic institutions and the rule of law like no other American president in recent memory. He is the first U.S. president I can remember who tried to stage a coup d’etat to stay in power. Trump falsely claims to this day that he won the 2020 election, even after more than 60 courts and the conservative-majority Supreme Court found his objections to be unsubstantiated. Then, he tacitly tried to incite rebellion on Jan. 6, 2021, when he waited for hours before trying to stop a pro-Trump mob from invading the U.S. Capitol in hopes of overturning the election result. He continues to praise the violent rioters who injured more than 100 police officers, calling them “patriots” and government “hostages.”
EMBOLDENING DICTATORS On foreign policy, Trump weakened America’s standing in the world by picking fights with the closest U.S. allies while at the same time embracing dictators such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord and threatened to abandon the U.S.-European NATO military alliance. Trump’s threats to leave NATO significantly damaged the group’s unity and probably encouraged Putin to plan his 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Trump deserves credit for the Abraham Accords to help establish diplomatic ties between Israel and some Arab countries. But if you look at the world in terms of superpower-led blocs, Trump left power in 2020 with a weaker Western alliance and a stronger China and Russia.
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS On abortion, Trump appointed three conservative Supreme Court judges who played a crucial role in overturning Roe v. Wade, a ruling that had made abortions legal in the country for nearly 50 years. As a result, some states banned abortions, and some women reportedly died because they could not get proper medical care to end their pregnancies.
MORE HATRED On crime, hate crimes increased by 28% during Trump’s term and hate-motivated murders, mainly committed by white supremacists, reached their highest number in 28 years, according to FBI statistics. Trump has exacerbated racial hatred in the country since he started his 2016 campaign falsely declaring that most Mexican undocumented immigrants are “rapists” and are “bringing crime” to America. In 2017, he said that there were “very fine people” among white supremacists and the anti-racism demonstrators who were protesting against them in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Trump’s racist statements have worsened since. He recently falsely claimed that Haitian immigrants are eating the pets of Americans in Springfield, Ohio. In an Oct. 7 radio interview, Trump said that unauthorized migrants who committed violent crimes have “bad genes,” a language reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s efforts to dehumanize Jews.
Also, in 2020, the last year of the Trump presidency, there was the biggest one-year increase in the number of murders since the 1960s, according the Politifact fact checking website. In addition to the pandemic and the George Floyd riots, Democrats attribute the 30% rise in murders to the relaxation of gun control laws under Trump.
FALSE BORDER PROMISES On immigration, Trump never completed the border fence nor got Mexico to pay for it, as he had promised in his 2016 campaign. Trump now claims to have built much of the current 654 miles of border wall, but most of it was already in place and repaired or upgraded during his years in office, according to Customs and Border Protection data.
On the COVID-19 Pandemic, Trump scorned face masks and at one point asked Americans to inject themselves with disinfectant to fight the virus. Scientists say many of the 400,000 Covid deaths during his presidency could have been averted if he had exhorted people to get vaccinated.
The list of Trump administration failures goes on and on. So if you are planning to vote for Trump because of something specific he has promised, and you are willing to believe a compulsive liar, go ahead. But please don’t tell me he was a good president: he was a disaster on virtually all fronts.

Though he was later acquitted at trial, Trump’s former inaugural committee chair, Tom Barrack, was charged with illegally lobbying Trump on behalf of a foreign government. (Elliot Broidy was the vice chair of Trump’s inaugural committee, and he found himself at the center of multiple controversies, and also pled guilty to federal charges related to illegal lobbying.)
Two lawyers associated with Trump’s post-defeat efforts, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, have pleaded guilty to election-related crimes.

Also, out of the 44 who previously served in his cabinet, 40 (!) do not support his re-election.
Like 1 or 2, ok....but 40/44 is a pretty damning indictment of his Presidency.
Just imagine if a company wanted to hire a new CEO...then on investigation, learnt that 40 out of 44 of his previous subordinates denounced him:

Dozens served in Trump’s Cabinet. Four say he should be re-elected.
Several of Trump's former Cabinet members are coy about whether they support his bid to return to the White House. Others outright oppose it.

Now I'm not saying all Trump voters are Nazis...but if someone is a Nazi, he's very likely to vote for Trump...hmmm, I wonder why.
I think people will still get to vote, but it won't mean anything, just like Russia. 93% approval rating!!!!
Tired old man. Weak! Low energy!!!

Trump, Who Brags About His 'Stamina,' Is Ducking Interviews Because He's 'Exhausted'
Donald Trump has canceled multiple public events in the past week, with Politico reported that his team has used "exhaustion" as an excuse.
www.rollingstone.com
Yesterday night in a rally in Greensboro, NC, praised the three worst dictators on earth, Putin, X-Ping and Kim Jun Ung.
If USA want a dictator as President, he's the evident choice !
Another interesting news, political partys (mostly Republicans) are exploiting elderly suffering from dementia with fundraising tactics, emptying their bank accounts !
When their chidren are aware of the situation, it's too late !
A very articulate and typical Democrat.
Glad to see TDS is alive and well.
Nice to see such an intelligent and educated historian getting his point across.
So much for rednecks being categorized as trailer trash lol.
The ignorants Trumps supporters believe thar Trump economic policies are better than Harris should know that 23 Nobel prize-winning economists tell the contrary.
Moreover, Trump will not raise the minimum wage currently at 7.25 $/ hour.
How come the richest big country has a so low minimum wage ?
Perhaps if you work 160 hours/week, you can live on that !
Na he is just a loud mouth trailer trash Democrat. Yes they have them too lol it is not exclusive to Republicans.
