Can you say "double standard"? I knew you could. This is from USA TODAY columnist Rex Huppke, who holds a master’s degree from the University of Missouri Graduate School of Journalism.
Trump is 78 and barely coherent. Where's everyone who questioned Biden's age and fitness?
Where are the headlines screaming: 'Deranged old man peddles nonsense while threatening violent deportation of immigrants'?

"Look, if I say I lost the 2020 election, everyone will think of me a loser. I can't have that, okay? And I didn't lose the election. I. I won by a landslide – but it was rigged and stolen. I know I've been saying for four years that I will provide irrefutable evidence of voter fraud. I will do that when the time is right, okay? Right now I'm more concerned that Crooked Joe and Comrade Kamala and the dishonest Democrats will steal this year's election too."

II Thessalonians chapter 2 tells us that in the latter days there will appear a "man of lawlessness" who "will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped." He will deceive the masses. They will "refuse to love the truth" and will believe his lies. Donald Trump's blindly loyal followers worship him. They believe his lies. They are willing to fight for him and, if need be, to kill for him or die for him. How sad. And how pathetic.

Last month on his Truth Social site, Donald Trump posted images of Taylor Swift and her "Swifties." He was happy to have Taylor's endorsement for President. He wrote, "I accept!" Of course the images were AI-generated. They were fake. Last night, Taylor endorsed Kamala Harris – and now is Donald Trump's enemy.

In 24 of the 31 Presidential elections since 1900, the candidate who won Pennsylvania's electoral votes became President. Political analyst Nate Silver says if Harris wins Pennsylvania in 2024, she has a 91% chance of becoming President – and If Trump wins Pennsylvania, he has a 96% chance of becoming President. In Pennsylvania, more Democrats than Republicans vote by mail – and the state's Supreme Court just rigged the election in favor of Trump.

Swing states, also known as battleground states, are states in which Democrats and Republicans have similar levels of support. Those states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin – could "swing" either way in a Presidential election. The win-at-all-costs Retrumplicans are filing lawsuits in an effort to rig the vote in favor of Retrumplicans. Of course Retrumplicans, who also have passed voter-suppression legislation and redrawn many Congressional districts to favor their own party, will never admit to trying to rig the election. No, they insist they're merely trying to maintain "election integrity."
Republicans sued three battleground states this week. Here’s what you need to know.

Apparently there are millions of Americans who base their decision on who to vote for – or who to vote against – on celebrity endorsements. This is one more reason to fear that our democracy may not survive many more years. The number one reason: Donald Trump's near-total control of the Retrumplican Party.

Fox News, a.k.a. the Trump Cheerleading channel, is, very predictably, denouncing Scientific American[ for endorsing Harris. They say the magazine should focus on science, not politics or public policy. Of course we know Fox News would not have complained if the magazine had endorsed Trump.
Scientific American makes presidential endorsement for only the second time in its 179-year history
The Independent, Sep 16 2024
Scientific American has waded into the political sphere after making a presidential endorsement, only the second in its 179-year history. "Vote for Kamala Harris to support science, health and the environment," read the headline on Monday, announcing the publication’s official support for the Democratic presidential candidate. The magazine backed Joe Biden during the 2020 election.
"The US faces two futures," the editors wrote, pushing one candidate who "offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence and the willingness to learn from experience." They continued: "In the other future, the new president endangers public health and safety and rejects evidence, preferring instead nonsensical conspiracy fantasies."
Scientific American, which has a global readership of six million, cited Harris’s record as vice president, senator and presidential candidate as reasons for endorsing her. They acknowledged that Trump "also has a record - a disastrous one," during his time in the White House.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents 1,300,000 members, has endorsed every Democratic Presidential candidate since 2000 – until now. Teamsters president Sean O'Brien announced yesterday that the national union will not endorse any Presidential candidate in 2024. However, several local Teamsters unions – including the West Coast Teamsters, which represents 300,000 members in California, Nevada, Hawa'ii and Guam – are endorsing Harris.

On September 12 – two days after his debate with Kamala Harris – deranged, demented, delusional Donald wrote on his Truth Social site, "Polls clearly show that I won the debate against comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats' radical left candidate." No, Donald, you did not win the debate. As Politico editor-in-chief John Harris wrote, "Trump’s improv stood no chance against Harris’ coached attacks "

Today while campaigning in Pennsylvania – and while video cameras were recording – Trump gave a hundred dollars to a shopper at Sprenkle's Neighborhood Market in Kittanning, telling her, "Here, it's gonna go down a hundred bucks." He promised to lower supermarket prices if he's re-elected President.
According to Cornell Law School's Legal Information Institute. "Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and whoever solicits, accepts or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote, shall be fined or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined or imprisoned not more than two years, or both." Of course "Teflon Don" knows he is above the law and can pretty much do whatever he wants.

Deranged, demented, delusional Donald continues to insist he won the 2020 Presidential election "in a landslide." (He didn't. He lost.) Occasionally he brags that he won "all 50 states." He's hoping to win the 2024 election but he still is campaigning for the 2020 election! Meanwhile, someone who helped spread Trump's election-fraud lies is joining the ranks of the unemployed.

At a rally yesterday in Walker, Michigan, Trump bragged, "Years ago in this area, I was honored as Man Of The Year. The fake news heard about it and said it never happened. I swear to you it happened. I was Man Of The Year." Trump was never honored as Man Of The Year. That is one of the many lies and delusions he spews at his rallies. Case in point:

Flake, a moderate Republican who served with Kamala Harris in the Senate and Tim Walz in the House, said he is supporting a candidate "who seeks to unite our country rather than one who divides us," adding that Harris "represents the ideals of a new generation of leadership based not on grievances of the past but hope for the future." Three days ago, former Republican Senators Sandy Praeger and Nancy Kassebaum, both of Kansas, endorsed Harris.

FiveThirtyEight's election models and simulations give Kamala Harris a 55% chance, and Donald Trump a 45% chance, of winning in the Electoral College. Trump, an immigrant-hating white nationalist, is ranting again. He forgets – or ignores the fact – that his grandfather, Friedrich Trump, emigrated from Bavaria to the United States in 1885. Otherwise, Donald could be living in Germany today.
