Super-competent Trump campaign misspells 'Nobel' on official campaign materials
I suppose they didn’t want to “panic” people by announcing that Donald “I Tear-Gas My Own People for Fun” Trump had actually been nominated for a real Nobel Peace Prize. For the record — yes, this is real. The Daily Beast: The unintentionally hilarious Facebook advert falsely claimed that the president “has achieved PEACE in…

NYT details how Trump campaign ineptly blew $800 million to trail Joe Biden
Kos has noted that Donald Trump’s campaign appears to be out of money — or close to it, anyway. It’s been hemorrhaging cash faster than a Trump business or Trump-led government, and now The New York Times is giving us a bit of an inside look at all that gruesome bloodshed. And it’s a horrible thing…
Trump accuses Dems of massive disinformation campaign as others map massive Trumpian corruption
So the guy who says nearly any kind of malarkey accuses his opposition of “massive disinformation”. Firehose of gaslight projected on an entire nation. x #SundayThoughts: The word “trumpery” appeared in the 15th century with the meanings “deceit” or “fraud”. 100 years later, it was being applied to objects of little or no value. Then…
another Trump presser/campaign speech, claims he's got 11 witnesses to his not disrespecting troops
Trump’s doing more law and order bafflegab among other idiocy, as Trump is whining about not getting credit for stuff. We’ll see whether he takes questions (and flees when the questions get too tough). He’s scared, especially if you compare his presser to Biden’s earlier today, replete with complete sentences. x The president is doing another…

Biden campaign expected to report biggest monthly fundraising haul in U.S. campaign history
I have to admit, I was one of those nervous Nellies fretting the past two days over the possibility of a Trump win in November. This Kos diary, a strong Biden speech, and some robust, consistently applied cannabis therapy helped me out of my funk, but man. The PTSD (and that’s only a bit of an…

So U.S. Senator Martha McSally (R. AZ) was busted doing this: x YouTube Video Sen.

Collusion between Trump campaign and Russia never ended
As we begin a week of pure GOP propaganda, it’s time to remind ourselves how we got here as well as remind ourselves that the GOP is still entangled with Russia as well as malign forces.

AZ-Sen: Martha McSally (R) Begs Supporters To Skip A Meal & Fund Her Campaign With The Savings
That’s pathetic: Arizona Republican Senator Martha McSally is asking supporters to “fast a meal” and pass along the savings to her campaign.

We are not yet at the acme of the Trumpian disinformation campaign or that 'October Surprise'
Stuff is happening and it isn’t simply that Trump is trying to “win” in the worst way. Trump tells us that Biden is weak and yet Biden is more powerful than God. Because Jerry Falwell Jr’s excuse is one we all want to use someday: ‘She Was Pregnant’ and I Couldn’t Get My Pants Zipped” x Yesterday:…

Karl Rove tilts the Trump campaign: “We're an empire now and when we act we create our own reality.”
Eternal vigilance ahead for 90 days. Even with the 1968 noise Trump wants 2016 back because it may be the only real victory he’ll have. Rovian math 2012 comes back sprouting turd-blossoms. Remember how Karl Rove “openly acknowledged that the function of his propaganda was to create a mythology and then use the power of…
Trump Reveals New Campaign Slogan: “This is Going to Be The Greatest Election Disaster in History”
When someone is suffering from severe mental infirmities, they are prone to making remarks that inadvertently expose the depths of their derangement. Donald Trump is a prime example of this. And he just provided another instance to add to the cornucopia of commentaries that serve to prove how socially distant he is from reality. On…
Is it rude to throw this quote from Trump's 2015 campaign launch back in his face?
I vividly remember Donald Trump’s campaign kickoff speech at Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 — a day which will live in imbecility. I recall that Trump seemed congenitally incapable of telling the truth, rode an escalator as part of what appeared to be some sort of shambolic, improptu comedy bit, and, of course, claimed Mexico was…
AZ-Sen: Martha McSally's (R) Campaign Busted For Pocketing Contributions Raised For Charity
From Salon: Embattled Republican Sen. Martha McSally of Arizona promised voters that her campaign would “suspend all campaign fundraising” for the first two weeks of April in favor of “15 Days of Giving,” but finance records released last week show that the campaign seems to have raised $300,000 in that time, and apparently kept all of it. “For the next…
