Trump's lack of imagination is staggering. The January 6 convicts were all charged with specific crimes. 730 of them have actually plead guilty to crimes. Members of the same race and even members of the same club as rioters have not been charged. Only the ones with specific evidence that they were there assaulting or damaging property or entering restricted areas.

In stark contrast, none of the people in those internment camps were specifically suspected of disloyalty and no one believed that ALL of them were disloyal. They were all held there simply because it was accepted by the powers that be to be a reasonable precaution. It is so much worse.

But when Trump says that only those Japanese-Americans in internment camps for a few years were POSSIBLY treated worse than his precious January 6 convicts, he is probably entirely forgetting the African-Americans in forced labor for their entire lives, whose spouses and children could be sold off somewhere where they'd never see them again, who were packed into freighters with complete understanding that a great many who die on the way.

Considering the usual relationship between accusations and confessions from Trump, I'm now halfway there to assuming that he wants to ban vegetarianism.

If not for the fact that the animal rights movement didn't gain nearly as much traction since the '90s as anyone who was around back then surely assumed it would, this would definitely be on the far right's agenda, and prominent politicians like DeSantis would have been in the news for attempting it by now.

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

Desantis has been... especially unlucky in his legislation: almost all of it has been undone by florida courts. If banning vegetarianisn was on his to do list; he's probably not gotten to it from all the backtracking he's had to do.

WWE legend The Undertaker tag teams with Trump in message to voters: ‘Choose wisely’

It actually doesn’t surprise me. Given the general dynamics of the 70-80s wrestling industry and the nature of the talent, I figure most of the “old generation” probably skewed conservative. Just watching the “Mr MacMahon“ documentary on Netflix, the parallels to Trump were noticeable. And I figured a LOT of the people who were most supportive of the man were politcally conservative.

Well, he was a key figure in "The Corporate Ministry" slate of villains, so it's hardly out-of-kayfabe for him.

I have a high baseline of not caring who celebrities are going to vote for but... I mean...a professional wrestler? If there is any basis for the idea that a WWE legend would be making good decisions about politics, please go ahead and share that.

Trump kicks off a Pennsylvania rally by talking about Arnold Palmer's genitalia

"Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women," Trump said. "This is a guy that was all man."

"When he took the showers with other pros, they came out of there. They said, 'Oh my God. That's unbelievable,'" Trump said with a laugh. "I had to say. We have women that are highly sophisticated here, but they used to look at Arnold as a man."

Just another typical day in America where a Presidential candidate who has a real shot at winning talks to a large crowd about a dead golfer's junk. Ho-hum.

Yeah, that's a perfectly normal thing to say. I recall that rally where Al Gore wouldn't stop going on about how big Clinton's dick was when they had sword fights in the Oval office.

yup, all normal, nothing to see here at all.

i have a lot of issues with Harris but if she became President I'm fairly certain i would absolutely never hear or think about Arnold Palmers' genitals.

I have been comforted for months that Harris was consistently polling ahead in Pennsylvania (where the decision looks like it will be made), but the newest stuff stays Trump.

Newest stuff has Trump with a lead so small it's within the margin of error, but yes, it is concerning. Really don't want a repeat of 2016....
