This is a picture worth a thousand words of Donald Trump standing clueless on stage in Chicago at the National Association of Black Journalists after one of his campaign handlers had told ABC Newscaster Rachel Scott to end the event early.
That entire event was a complete and utter shitshow of the 1st water. The journalists there were literally stunned to hear such blatant (and it was horrible) racism gushing from his mouth that they were literally speechless-he berated them for not being polite to him and he got laughed out of the room.
I bet he's really mad now-nobody respects the racist POS he is, and he laid it out for everyone to see.
Bad decision by his campaign-but good that it showed everyone exactly what he is and how he has not changed one iota since that 'event'.
It was pretty incredible to watch the clips, how could such an experienced politician put on such a disastrous performance? He's in complete retreat. His cult will never accept the horrors that the rest of us see, but we can only hope that this will motivate the rest of the county to come out and vote.
That's certainly true, but he's experienced to the extent that he's now running for president for the third time and has certainly persuaded a huge part of the country to support him. He's not a politician at all to the extent that he could ever get anything accomplished by working with people, say if he was on a city council of school board. Perhaps con-man populist demagogue is a better description.
I wouldn't say a "huge part" of the country...certainly at least a third, but I suspect we will see many closet Dem votes coming from women in the more repressive Repubbie states.
But he's not self-made, he inherited it all from his father Fred and then schemed to see that the rest of the family received nothing. The SoB part was learned from Roy Cohn. The guy is a complete fraud and con-man.
Being a politician and being able to govern well are two different things. Biden is a master at both, but it was unappreciated by people, particularly those who do not have any historical knowledge of what drove his policies and actions. Even that he was rolling us back to before Reagan, they would know nothing about. Trump is considered a master at fascist propaganda techniques, but this was a prepared crowd. So much for letting your racism cause you to underestimate your audience. Did he learn from this? Not the lessons he should have, like they were prepared, but rather, he will avoid them, and now everyone there is on his -hit list. Of course, they would be there anyway.
When he was president he tried to run the country like his Ponzi scheme family business, the reason it was such a disaster for the nation was that he has never been very successful even at that, remember that this clown is the guy that ran a casino into bankruptcy, casino’s print money. He makes the term moron look like a compliment. 🤷♂️ 💥
Mary Trump’s book gave me real insight into that family’s. Her description of Trump’s early years are from the point of view of a psychologist and are a sympathetic description of the long absences of his mother due to sever complications giving birth to his younger brother and the subsequent severe osteoporosis that resulted from her hysterectomy. Mary portrays Fred as the worst villain, a true psychopath.
Trump's only skill, or talent--whatever one calls his ability to hit the right words for his specific base--has significantly declined because he hasn't appeared before skeptical, doubting audiences in at least 4 years. For 8 years he mostly gave his rants harangues and clueless interviews to "friendlies": adoring MAGA base rallies or right-leaning, sympathetic news outlets. When he was President, he was treated with the politeness due a government leader.
But Trump is no longer President and when he comes out of his bubble, especially with an audience poised to be critical....he flounders and flails. I imagine the catsup on the walls at Mar-A-Lardo is getting thick enough to sculpt....it must be looking like dark red stucco, by now.
I think one possible explanation is that he is anxious because Harris was getting all the attention. He believes that negative coverage is better than no coverage. His nephew said this in so many words today on several MSNBC shows.
I think he is showing signs of cognitive decline, especially of his prefrontal cortex which controls impulses, emotional outbursts, etc. You prefrontal cortex is the source of self-awareness and the ability to self-censor which Trump has clearly lost the ability to do.
Trump was always able to suppress his true instincts to put on a front in order to charm people. That is how he was so successful on The Apprentice even though he didn’t censor himself off camera. He has clearly lost his ability to control his impulses, regulate what he says in public and pretend to be a nice person. He speaks in public like he always has in private, maybe a little loonier. I half expect him to start openly talking about grabbing women by their privates on stage if he gets rattled or angry enough.
There have been reports that he takes Adderall, supposedly a lot of Adderall.
Also has been speculation, unverified as far as I know, that that's why he kept falling asleep during the business fraud Stormy trial--lack of opportunity to swill Diet Coke and snort his Adderall every few minutes
Another is, he thought he could make people think she is not really "black". Giving him time is like flushing out a sewer pipe. Your never quite sure what to expect, but there it is.
That is in part because everyone studied the fascist playbook he used at the debate with Biden, who apparently was not clued in to how to turn a debate into a renig of fascist propaganda, but these journalists have since learned and were using it. Rule number 1 according to Fascism expert Prof. Ruth Ben-Ghiat, is to fact check lies in real time. Apparently that was done, and that does not work for a fascist.
And segregating his apartments until the Department of Justice made him stop. He would not rent to Black or Hispanic families. At the deposition, said “You wouldn’t want to live next to them either”
The rotten apple did not fall far from the diseased family tree--Fred Sr was just such a racist and it is credibly rumored--although details are scant--that Fred Sr. was detained and possibly arrested after a 1927 KKK rally/march in Queens.
The state of Hawaii government received so many requests for Obama's birth certificate from obviously racist idiots that bought trump's bullshit that the REPUBLICAN governor had to come out and say his birth certificate was LEGIT and he was born IN HAWAII. Predictably, that still did not lay the issue to rest. This was a preview of the MAGA cult to come
As the Rev. Al Sharpton said, t-Rump wasn't talking to those journalists-- he was talking to his base. He couldn't care less how offensive he sounded to his immediate audience. He has nothing but utter contempt for people of color.
I usually agree w/ Rev Al, but in this case I think djt was speaking to anybody who would listen, esp anybody black, sure he could outsmart any black journalist. Boy, was he wrong!
Well if that's the case he better start caring. His chances of winning this election and avoiding further prosecution are already slim to none. If he relies entirely on his anemic and pathetic base we may as well take a break from following his every word and act. Just wait for the inevitable on Election Day.
Unfortunately his chances to cheat and somehow steal the election remain high. Dems must turn out in such over-whelming numbers that his claims and challenges will be obvious lies.
Was he trying to show his mettle to his cult by spewing out bullshit in front of a hostile audience? Good call for the NABJ to end the event early as it was clearly an exercise in futility.
The event ended early based on requests by the TRUMP team. It appears from the tape I saw that it was terminated right after Project 2025 was brought up.
Yes, Trump's campaign people are trying very hard to distance him from that 900+ page piece of utter ugliness. I say GLUE Project 2025 right to his overlong tie--and hope it chokes him.
Yes, I watched more of the tape. His handlers' ineptitude is our gain. Not sure what they were thinking in letting him and his racist ranting loose in front of the NABJ. Maybe they thought he would be treated like CNN treated him, not calling him out on his lies. Good for Rachel Scott!
It was actually great to hear journalists asking detailed questions and refuting, in real time, trump's bold faced lies. They just demonstrated what real journalism looks like (Take note NY Times, Washington Post, CNN and the rest of the lamestream media).
Meanwhile, did you see, in minute ~21:25, trump reaches to his left, grabs Rachel Scott's water bottle, and . . . tightens (or did he loosen?) the bottle cap! (trump's water bottle was to his right) trump is a truly an imbecilic racist, bigoted man-child. He even makes Archie Bunker seem straight-up.
Roy Wood Jr. has responded in the best way — mocking Trump. There has been a great, hilarious response to his tweet “We now know Kamala’s brave story. When did the rest of you “turn” black. How old were you when the blackness finally took over your body? Share your stories. This is a safe space.”
The responses are really funny. I want someone like RuPaul to post “I turned black right after I decided to turn gay”.
The WaPo’s headline was a great attempt to whitewash Trump’s racist comments. “Trump’s comments on Harris’s race move contest into new phase”. Compare that to the Guardian’s headline:
“ Trump repeats lies and attacks Kamala Harris’s racial identity at panel of Black journalists:
Chaotic event hosted by National Association of Black Journalists saw Trump lie about abortion and immigration”
What was he trying to prove here? It just shows how out of touch he and his handlers are with the mainstream Americans. Spend all your time after fascist loving sycophants and you will lose touch with what most people think, and how they are. This was his first exposure to real people, and he apparently did not like it.
I loved the clips I saw. And if he thinks the three Black women journalists held his feet to the fire, wait until he gets on the debate stage with Harris, a former courtroom prosecutor who can think on her feet with even more agility.
I am dying for him to have his Jeff Sessions moment for all the world to see. Remember how Harris turned Sessions inside out in the Senate hearing back in 2017? She was majestic.
Being challenged in real time doesn't happen to him in mainstream media interviews either. His comments on "is she Indian or is she black" were totally unhinged. I know the National Association of Black Journalists caught blowback for inviting Trump. I think it worked in Harris's favor. The journalists asking him the questions did challenge him, and Black voters will see just how deranged he is.
Probably the last time he will appear for questions before any journalists, save for the shills at FOX, OAN, Newsmax etc. who aren't journalists at all.
He must have been getting lessons from MTG, that’s what she was known for in all of the gyms she used to frequent. When you have a face like that you have to find something to do with it.
I’m really stunned that after 8 years of this shit, that guy can still leave me speechless. How does he have more than 7% in the polls? What an effing moron.
There are more chaos and disruption lovers than I would ever want to know. One of whom is my 83 year old brother as well as his family. All of whom feel left out by the government…but collect every penny of subsidy that they can! I never knew this but there are 2 governments, the one that physically supports you, and the other that needs to be torn down. There is absolutely nothing one can say or do to tear these people from their fealty to Sir Liesalot!
I would argue the incompetence part regarding his staff. After all, he is the one in charge and while I would think that there was a meeting about the merits pro and con about attending, that Trump, full of himself thanks to the friendly rallies, forged forward. And got a cold towel slap in the face.
See YouTube video of Rev. Al Sharpton's analysis, on MSNBC, of t-Rump's "performance." Acc. to Sharpton, the event when exactly as t-Rump intended. He showed utter contempt for the Black journalists-- more raw meat to feed his worshipers.
He’s losing it. He’s either too lazy or incapable (or both) of actually doing the work…and there’s a lot of work. Being POTUS is not a gut course. It’s serious and real. And he is just blustering and blubbering his way through this campaign. Total shipwreck.
That performance was political suicide. There's no coming back from that. It's amazing how this race has totally flipped in a week. Kamala has gotten under his skin.
I thought at first he was trolling the audience, but after listening to just a little! it’s apparent he was not doing anything but floundering. Amazing.
I hate that the last store in my nabe where you could browse and discover stuff like this folded during the pandemic and all that survives are computers and Amazon.
Oy. (That's a technical retail word.) Assuming the "ny" in "difny" means the place where the Bronx is up and the Battery's down, did I read that even some Duane Reade stores are disappearing for lack of traffic?
Yes, we know Oy well around here. DuaneReade was on an irrational buying spree for a couple of years. As small neighborhood drugstores faltered, then failed, DR grabbed up everything in sight. CVS was more judicious—stuck to fewer, larger spaces, often not pharmacies before. Finally Walgreen, never an NYC presence, saw their chance and grabbed DR. I don't think DuaneReade exists as such anymore, and Walgreen did close stores too close to others to be profitable. With the closing too of St Vincent's and now Beth Israel hospitals, Greenwich Village is as much a medical wasteland as a ghetto, but the villains here are gentrification and Amazon. The unusually clever last gift shop that closed was already on borrowed time and pandemic-further-reduced foot traffic had to have been the last straw. … Wish I had come up with something better than difny for diane f nyc, but I had to get rid of di fi ny fast. One difi was enough. I learned pre-internet the perils of usernaming myself anything girly, but in this forum I could. —diane
Imho there is nothing wrong with putting pen to paper. It's not on a computer hard drive or server, so there is no record of it, and once you are over the heartbreak, or anger, you can shred it.
SMO. Smile Out Loud. Of course, if you forget to shred it, or it's too big to shred, I'm remembering they were called the Pentagon Papers for a reason; plus, the denouement of "Three Days of the Condor."
This Admin Asst never forgets to do anything! Last time I moved I had a paper box full of journals. Funny, when I am feeling good, journaling goes by the wayside.
Rev. Al Sharpton observed on MSNBC that t-Rump did exactly what he set out to do on this occasion-- which is play to his base, while taking the spotlight away from Harris. According to Sharpton, t-Rump didn't care how racist and offensive he sounded; he was talking to his worshipers, who LOVE his racism, and not to those Black journalists. Personally, I've said all along that racism is the basic component of t-Rump's appeal. His mistake, however, IMHO, is believing that a large majority of Americans share his attitudes. I am REALLY hoping that's not true!
Trump will use it to show how unfairly the media treats him. I hope pieces from it where he claims the old birther crap- haunts him as well as his other lies. But to date he keeps taking the ugly and making his base love it. Pussy grabber- the white trash love it. His horrible handling of the US from immigration (separating children) to the COVID debacle- he was the greatest president. Fact- Trump is last in the ranking of US presidents- It does not matter that the gathering of US historians for several years now put him in the bottom five American presidents and this past year he fell to last. The base does not know history. His January 6th- the MAGA base thinks it was a legitimate protest. As written previously, black is white, up is down- 1984.
I have never liked the term white trash applied to a group of people, and I suspect that “White trash” women, like most others, don’t like pussy grabbers either.
Yes, really...I actually saw a woman wearing one--It had an arrow pointing down to her groin and it proclaimed that Trump could "grab this pussy anytime..."
I couldn't then and I still cannot grasp why any woman would so debase and pollute herself to wear such a thing.
Those " racist, misogynist assholes and morons" are precisely the people he was talking to. He couldn't care less what a bunch of "f*cking n----r" journalists think of him.
You are correct that he can’t win with only MAGA votes, but he seems to believe that MAGA voters are more numerous than they actually are. May he continue on with that delusion!
That entire event was a complete and utter shitshow of the 1st water. The journalists there were literally stunned to hear such blatant (and it was horrible) racism gushing from his mouth that they were literally speechless-he berated them for not being polite to him and he got laughed out of the room.

His cult will never accept the horrors that the rest of us see, but we can only hope that this will motivate the rest of the county to come out and vote.
He’s not an experienced politician. If he was he might have a better notion of how to answer the questions they posed to him.
It’s a different skill set than being in charge of a family business.
He's also not used to answering questions from real journalists.
That's certainly true, but he's experienced to the extent that he's now running for president for the third time and has certainly persuaded a huge part of the country to support him. He's not a politician at all to the extent that he could ever get anything accomplished by working with people, say if he was on a city council of school board. Perhaps con-man populist demagogue is a better description.
I wouldn't say a "huge part" of the country...certainly at least a third, but I suspect we will see many closet Dem votes coming from women in the more repressive Repubbie states.
I’m hoping that’s true.
How 'bout describing him as a self-made SoB?
But he's not self-made, he inherited it all from his father Fred and then schemed to see that the rest of the family received nothing. The SoB part was learned from Roy Cohn. The guy is a complete fraud and con-man.

Nah just a senile narcissist in decline.
NEVER a poltician ...why old guard GOP...not the RINO's and CINO's... horrified by his ascendence.
His business skills are not all that great either, if you look at it. He wasted most of what his father left him.
New book out by his nephew, Fred Trump, reveals all !
Mary Trump’s book gave me real insight into that family’s. Her description of Trump’s early years are from the point of view of a psychologist and are a sympathetic description of the long absences of his mother due to sever complications giving birth to his younger brother and the subsequent severe osteoporosis that resulted from her hysterectomy.

I half expect him to start openly talking about grabbing women by their privates on stage if he gets rattled or angry enough.
While I agree with you about the cognitive decline, I think he has always had poor impulse control and no self-awareness
I heard somewhere that he has ADHA, which makes a lot of sense. Surprised no one has said that before.
There have been reports that he takes Adderall, supposedly a lot of Adderall.
Also has been speculation, unverified as far as I know, that that's why he kept falling asleep during the business fraud Stormy trial--lack of opportunity to swill Diet Coke and snort his Adderall every few minutes
Or using ever-coarser and more obscene profanity. We might yet hear him say"f*ck" and "n....r" on national television.
He's a desperate character at this point. He'll do or say anything to keep from going to prison. I wonder if that bullet did something to his brain!
...but was it a bullet???
Who knows, but whatever it was....
Another is, he thought he could make people think she is not really "black". Giving him time is like flushing out a sewer pipe. Your never quite sure what to expect, but there it is.

Trump ALWAYS a racist...no news here!!! Never forget the Obama Birth Certificate lie!!!
And the Central Park Five.
And segregating his apartments until the Department of Justice made him stop. He would not rent to Black or Hispanic families. At the deposition, said “You wouldn’t want to live next to them either”
He is now and has always been a racist POS.
The rotten apple did not fall far from the diseased family tree--Fred Sr was just such a racist and it is credibly rumored--although details are scant--that Fred Sr. was detained and possibly arrested after a 1927 KKK rally/march in Queens.
The state of Hawaii government received so many requests for Obama's birth certificate from obviously racist idiots that bought trump's bullshit that the REPUBLICAN governor had to come out and say his birth certificate was LEGIT and he was born IN HAWAII.

If he relies entirely on his anemic and pathetic base we may as well take a break from following his every word and act. Just wait for the inevitable on Election Day.
I don’t want him to care because the more he opens his filthy mouth, the more Kamala and we, the people win!
AGREED!!!
Unfortunately his chances to cheat and somehow steal the election remain high. Dems must turn out in such over-whelming numbers that his claims and challenges will be obvious lies.
Yeah bc he thinks he can steal the election with the help of the supreme criminal court.
Was he trying to show his mettle to his cult by spewing out bullshit in front of a hostile audience? Good call for the NABJ to end the event early as it was clearly an exercise in futility.
The event ended early based on requests by the TRUMP team. It appears from the tape I saw that it was terminated right after Project 2025 was brought up.
Yes, Trump's campaign people are trying very hard to distance him from that 900+ page piece of utter ugliness. I say GLUE Project 2025 right to his overlong tie--and hope it chokes him.
Yes, I watched more of the tape. His handlers' ineptitude is our gain. Not sure what they were thinking in letting him and his racist ranting loose in front of the NABJ. Maybe they thought he would be treated like CNN treated him, not calling him out on his lies. Good for Rachel Scott!
Correct! He was probably getting cheers from his base!
It was actually great to hear journalists asking detailed questions and refuting, in real time, trump's bold faced lies. They just demonstrated what real journalism looks like (Take note NY Times, Washington Post, CNN and the rest of the lamestream media).
Meanwhile, did you see, in minute ~21:25, trump reaches to his left, grabs Rachel Scott's water bottle, and . . . tightens (or did he loosen?) the bottle cap! (trump's water bottle was to his right) trump is a truly an imbecilic racist, bigoted man-child. He even makes Archie Bunker seem straight-up.
It just kills me to hear HIM criticize ANYONE for not being 'polite'. He's the king of obnoxious!!
Roy Wood Jr. has responded in the best way — mocking Trump. There has been a great, hilarious response to his tweet “We now know Kamala’s brave story. When did the rest of you “turn” black. How old were you when the blackness finally took over your body? Share your stories. This is a safe space.”
The responses are really funny. I want someone like RuPaul to post “I turned black right after I decided to turn gay”.
The WaPo’s headline was a great attempt to whitewash Trump’s racist comments. “Trump’s comments on Harris’s race move contest into new phase”. Compare that to the Guardian’s headline:
“ Trump repeats lies and attacks Kamala Harris’s racial identity at panel of Black journalists:
Chaotic event hosted by National Association of Black Journalists saw Trump lie about abortion and immigration”
Thanks for the headline comparison. It’s a stark example of how the American press fails in its election coverage.
What was he trying to prove here? It just shows how out of touch he and his handlers are with the mainstream Americans. Spend all your time after fascist loving sycophants and you will lose touch with what most people think, and how they are. This was his first exposure to real people, and he apparently did not like it.
I loved the clips I saw. And if he thinks the three Black women journalists held his feet to the fire, wait until he gets on the debate stage with Harris, a former courtroom prosecutor who can think on her feet with even more agility.
I am dying for him to have his Jeff Sessions moment for all the world to see. Remember how Harris turned Sessions inside out in the Senate hearing back in 2017? She was majestic.
Ah yess…the “you’re making me nervous” moment. Truly a classic!
I don't see any way now that Duckin' Don agrees to a debate. His new defense is that everyone already "knows him" and there's no need for a debate.
If shit continues to crater, he'll have to. (Hail Mary)
He’ll also say that the moderators are out to get him, and “It’s so unfair!”
I thought he'd refused to debate. No?
He did but Kamala is cajoling him to do it.
She is calling out his cowardice. There is no cajoling. He won’t show up.
He is stupid that he will given60-90 minutes of free advertising.
Literally she will be able to lay out the prosecution case for voters to see.
ABC News has my attention. What momentous thing did they accomplish? Simple Fact checking.
It’s as easy as that guys. Want viewers? That.
Also I believe black women will save this country if we let them. That.
Fact checking and calling him out? Turns out it’s easy!
Apparently it is too difficult for C fucking NN
FACT.
👍👍
I can’t say strongly enough how great it feels to read this report. Finally, someone is being held accountable by their audience.
Being challenged in real time doesn't happen to him in mainstream media interviews either. His comments on "is she Indian or is she black" were totally unhinged. I know the National Association of Black Journalists caught blowback for inviting Trump. I think it worked in Harris's favor. The journalists asking him the questions did challenge him, and Black voters will see just how deranged he is.
She 'turned black' ? Christ Almighty!!
Absolutely
Probably the last time he will appear for questions before any journalists, save for the shills at FOX, OAN, Newsmax etc. who aren't journalists at all.
"Shills" --- or "fellators"?
🤣🤣🤣
He must have been getting lessons from MTG, that’s what she was known for in all of the gyms she used to frequent. When you have a face like that you have to find something to do with it.
Is it my imagination or has Fox changed their tune a bit?
I doubt it, wait until tonight and see how Hannity can spin this.
How would I know? I don’t allow them in my house.
He was just dissing Fox News - I don't need them to win !
I don't either! Except they sneak in though other media!
It's your imagination
Haha, I should have known!
I’m really stunned that after 8 years of this shit, that guy can still leave me speechless. How does he have more than 7% in the polls? What an effing moron.
What's REALLY frightening are the millions who worship him for the very things we find so intolerably offensive!
And MSM puts it on the front page as realty.
There are more chaos and disruption lovers than I would ever want to know. One of whom is my 83 year old brother as well as his family. All of whom feel left out by the government…but collect every penny of subsidy that they can! I never knew this but there are 2 governments, the one that physically supports you, and the other that needs to be torn down. There is absolutely nothing one can say or do to tear these people from their fealty to Sir Liesalot!
And STILL, a lying, raping, RACIST con man.
Did you expect him to change?
It is a commentary about his hubris that he even agreed to attend.
More than that, I think, it is a commentary on the incompetence of his handlers. How could they think this would go well?
I would argue the incompetence part regarding his staff. After all, he is the one in charge and while I would think that there was a meeting about the merits pro and con about attending, that Trump, full of himself thanks to the friendly rallies, forged forward. And got a cold towel slap in the face.

We shouldn't underestimate him.
You are correct. He will sink to levels of vileness that we can't even imagine, and his worshipers will love him for it.
and bless them for this
Remember he's the smartest one in the room, just ask him.
Very high IQ person and a stable genius!
Yes, Donald is "very intelligent" because his uncle was a Professor at MIT.
Not a clue...as usual.
He’s losing it. He’s either too lazy or incapable (or both) of actually doing the work…and there’s a lot of work. Being POTUS is not a gut course. It’s serious and real. And he is just blustering and blubbering his way through this campaign. Total shipwreck.
That performance was political suicide. There's no coming back from that. It's amazing how this race has totally flipped in a week. Kamala has gotten under his skin.
I'd like to agree, but I think the only thing new that came to light is that he's as ghastly today as he was yesterday.
You’re are correct!
And I would like to say YAY!!
You really can’t make this stuff up!! Unbelievable, it is like a parody.
I thought at first he was trolling the audience, but after listening to just a little! it’s apparent he was not doing anything but floundering. Amazing.
Drowning in an ocean of his own bullshit!😂😂
Absolutely correct! Trump will spend the rest of the campaign "drowning in an ocean of his own bullshit!"
Thank you Charles!
I'm totally here for it!
I know this is a geezer product, but in the event you write down "stuff" like this with a pen or pencil onto a suitable processed tree:

I chose the purple cover/binding. [Insert laughing emoji here]
I hate that the last store in my nabe where you could browse and discover stuff like this folded during the pandemic and all that survives are computers and Amazon.
Oy. (That's a technical retail word.) Assuming the "ny" in "difny" means the place where the Bronx is up and the Battery's down, did I read that even some Duane Reade stores are disappearing for lack of traffic?
Yes, we know Oy well around here. DuaneReade was on an irrational buying spree for a couple of years. As small neighborhood drugstores faltered, then failed, DR grabbed up everything in sight. CVS was more judicious—stuck to fewer, larger spaces, often not pharmacies before. Finally Walgreen, never an NYC presence, saw their chance and grabbed DR. I don't think DuaneReade exists as such anymore, and Walgreen did close stores too close to others to be profitable. With the closing too of St Vincent's and now Beth Israel hospitals, Greenwich Village is as much a medical wasteland as a ghetto, but the villains here are gentrification and Amazon. The unusually clever last gift shop that closed was already on borrowed time and pandemic-further-reduced foot traffic had to have been the last straw. … Wish I had come up with something better than difny for diane f nyc, but I had to get rid of di fi ny fast. One difi was enough. I learned pre-internet the perils of usernaming myself anything girly, but in this forum I could. —diane
Imho there is nothing wrong with putting pen to paper. It's not on a computer hard drive or server, so there is no record of it, and once you are over the heartbreak, or anger, you can shred it.
SMO. Smile Out Loud. Of course, if you forget to shred it, or it's too big to shred, I'm remembering they were called the Pentagon Papers for a reason; plus, the denouement of "Three Days of the Condor."
This Admin Asst never forgets to do anything! Last time I moved I had a paper box full of journals. Funny, when I am feeling good, journaling goes by the wayside.
Words don't do justice to joy.

Rev. Al Sharpton observed on MSNBC that t-Rump did exactly what he set out to do on this occasion-- which is play to his base, while taking the spotlight away from Harris. According to Sharpton, t-Rump didn't care how racist and offensive he sounded; he was talking to his worshipers, who LOVE his racism, and not to those Black journalists. Personally, I've said all along that racism is the basic component of t-Rump's appeal. His mistake, however, IMHO, is believing that a large majority of Americans share his attitudes. I am REALLY hoping that's not true!
"Equality" should be "equity" in the definition of DEI. Typing too fast. Sorry.
Trump will use it to show how unfairly the media treats him. I hope pieces from it where he claims the old birther crap- haunts him as well as his other lies. But to date he keeps taking the ugly and making his base love it. Pussy grabber- the white trash love it. His horrible handling of the US from immigration (separating children) to the COVID debacle- he was the greatest president. Fact- Trump is last in the ranking of US presidents- It does not matter that the gathering of US historians for several years now put him in the bottom five American presidents and this past year he fell to last. The base does not know history. His January 6th- the MAGA base thinks it was a legitimate protest. As written previously, black is white, up is down- 1984.
I have never liked the term white trash applied to a group of people, and I suspect that “White trash” women, like most others, don’t like pussy grabbers either.
They do love it, if the grabber is their lord and master whom they adore and worship.
They've got T-shirts !
Really?
Yes, really...I actually saw a woman wearing one--It had an arrow pointing down to her groin and it proclaimed that Trump could "grab this pussy anytime..."
I couldn't then and I still cannot grasp why any woman would so debase and pollute herself to wear such a thing.
Me either. That is pretty disgusting?
Nah, to them it's one more chance to own the libs.
I’m glad to see that the historians agree with me that Traitor Trump is the worst president in our history.
Suffice to say this appearance will not garner him a single new voter. And he's already cornered the market on racist, mysoginist assholes and morons
Those " racist, misogynist assholes and morons" are precisely the people he was talking to. He couldn't care less what a bunch of "f*cking n----r" journalists think of him.
He can't win with just the maga crowd. I know he's trying to control the news cycle but that was a humiliating way to get some headlines
You are correct that he can’t win with only MAGA votes, but he seems to believe that MAGA voters are more numerous than they actually are. May he continue on with that delusion!
That or he is sure that his allies (Heritage Institute and Federalist Society) have some stealthy cheat schemes up their sleeves.
