For those who didn't understand why Trump misspelled "Kamala" as "Kamabla" more than once: deliberately mispronouncing and misspelling ethnic-sounding names is an old racist behaviour that I remember from my childhood in the 1970s. This is all about signalling to the racists that he's one of them.
Kamala Harris is not the affirmative-action candidate. Donald Trump is the affirmative-action candidate. His voting support is entirely based on the fact that he's a rich white man who's proud to be a rich white man.

That's why scandals have never hurt him, no matter how outrageous those scandals were, because none of those scandals affect his principal appeal: the fact that he's a rich white man who's proud to be a rich white man.

If his appeal were based on any of the things he claimed it was about, then his scandals would have affected him. He said he would wipe out the debt. He added $8 trillion to it in just 4 years. He said he would "drain the swamp" of corruption. He took money from foreign governments. He said he would defend democracy. He tried to undermine and defeat it. He said he would restore "family values". He's a serial adulterer, a rapist, an incestuous creep who ogled his own daughter, and probably even a pedophile.

He said he would be the most "transparent" president ever. He refused to release his financial records, he held closed-door meetings with Putin without a stenographer present, he made the White House visitor log secret, and he balked when a reporter asked if the Jeffrey Epstein files should be made public. He said rich people would "hate" his tax changes. They loved his tax changes. He said he would be the "law and order president". He's a convicted felon, many of his friends are in prison for money laundering and fraud, he appointed unqualified judges, and he demands immunity from the law.

None of these scandals and broken promises ever hurt him because none of these bogus claims were ever serious, and his base knew it. He's a rich white man who's proud to be a rich white man, and for a population which became accustomed to rich white men being apologetic about that fact, they saw that as a breath of fresh air. It's the only thing they really care to know about him. He's the affirmative-action candidate for rich white men, and they couldn't care less that he's a scumbag.

Yea, I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually starting to feel embarrassed FOR Trump. His attacks have become so lame and ineffective that it's beginning to seem more sad than dangerous. Gotta stay vigilant, though.

He's desperate and flailing. If he wasn't a total shitstain of a human being, I might almost feel bad, but he burned out any sense of pity a long time ago.

Everything in me tells me I shouldn't, but somehow I can't help but to feel a little bad about his current situation. It's recent, too, like just over the past couple of days.

I take comfort in the fact that he'll be even worse after he loses, which will make me relish him being convicted and put away without a moment of sympathy.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

Insult to injury: celine dion and sony music had to send the trump campaign a C&D because he was using "my heart will go on", the theme from titanic illegally.

Some things never change. Trump has racked up quite a list of C&D's from various musicians over the years for the exact same thing.
