We now have a MAJOR story with Trump that combines lies with full on dementia. Will the media HAMMER him on it?

Of all the typically crazy shit The Orange Rapist vomited out in his so called press conference yesterday, the completely insane nonsense about an emergency helicopter landing with Willie Brown that never happened and how he claims Willie Brown doesn't support VP Harris should be VIRAL in the news media and all over social media. But especially in the news media. They should be relentlessly HAMMERING him on this.

He was with former Gov. Jerry Brown, not Willie Brown, in a helicopter to look at land damaged by wildfires. The helicopter never had an emergency landing of any kind. And Willie Brown certainly supports VP Harris.

The guy is a sick combination of malignant narcissist, pathological liar, insane maniac, and unhinged demented lunatic. And that whole raft of completely KOO KOO shit about this alleged helicopter thing proves it beyond any hint of a doubt. (Along with the endless reams of similarly crazy lying koo koo shit he has spewed for years.)

No helicopter nearly crashed. But what HAS crashed is Trump's BRAIN and his sad excuse for a campaign.

Will the media HAMMER away at this, or does the sick Orange Rapist get yet another disgusting pass?

What we can do is write emails to the media, call the media, write letters to the editor, and HAMMER him like hell on this in our own social media posts. We can also write emails to our state and local Dems and to the Harris campaign to use this bigtime. We can also write to alternative media like Meidas Touch, Lincoln Project, David Pakman, Young Turks, etc. and make sure they are hammering on this. That's what I'm gonna do.

4. Likewise the trip where he misstated the name of the CA city (Paradise, calling it "Pleasure" ) and called out

the state's efforts to control wildfires (which largely involved Federally-controlled forest land) and stated how "he'd learn from a Scandinavian country that one merely needed to "sweep" the forest floor regularly to prevent."

5. The crawler on ABC this morning tells you all you need to know about the media.

The only mention of the press conference was a quote from Trump calling VP Harris "too stupid to have a press conference." This is the same network that spent an inordinate amount of time a day or two ago blathering on about some bullshit allegation that Hunter Biden was influence peddling someone in Romania back while deep in the throes of addiction, while completely fucking ignoring the $10 million in small bills actual bribe that Dementia J. Trump took from the President of Egypt in 2016. They will continue to cover for this motherfucker long after he's dead and buried.

This is the kind of republicon spinshit they are shoveling at America.

7. Back in the day, three men who ran Trump's casino went down in a helicopter crash in New York.

All of them were killed. After the crash, Trump claimed on Howard Stern, I think, that he was supposed to be on that flight. Of course, that was a lie.

It could be compared to his statements on 9/11 when he somehow got on the air to state that now his building was the tallest in New York City which was a lie.

How that incident got mixed up with Willie Brown or Jerry Brown is certainly mysterious. Who can make sense of the ravings of a lunatic?

I only have it on for a bit these days, just to see what they're saying when something major happens. This morning the blonde on before the triplets (Sarah Sidner and gang) and her guests were laughing at Trump. Even the former Republican woman (something to do with Romney) was smiling about it all. I've lost his name, but the tall black man was smiling and digging in, like someone handed him a shovel to dig gold. Oh, wait, someone did! Thanks, Trump.

It was so anti-Trump, I'm not sure if that host will have a job tomorrow. But it sure was nice, that brief moment when Trump was made to look like the fool he is.
