I'm watching TSF in Asheville where he supposed to discuss the economy.

It's nothing more than a rally.

Mortgage rates are at 11%....WRONG Donny.

We're going to make everything affordable again...INFLATION IS DOWN, DONNY.

Kamala is crazy...WRONG DONNY.

Kamala won't laugh anymore...WRONG Donny.

I though he was going to announce his economic plan.

The poor fucker just can't help himself.

He just can't listen to his advisors. It's impossible for him.

He's going to lose bigly.

Donald, you're fucking boring.

Signed into law by Reagan:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_Reform_Act_of_1986

To be fair, Sentaor Joe Biden supported this law change. He represented Delaware, where multiple CC companies had their headquarters. However, the Senate was then controlled by Repukes, so his "yea" vote probably didn't matter even though it passed
97-3.

The real tragedy of this tax law was the beginning of the Reich wing "trickle down" BULLSHIT. Every subsequent Repuke pres said cutting taxes would "stimulate" the economy when pretty much all it did was explode the national debt.

Dotards tax cut for billionaires was only the latest iteration of this nonsense, yet somehow was the most expensive in terms of adding debt.

Social Security loses funding because todays workers are no longer paying into it, millions of seniors will have to sell their homes into a downward spiraling market to get money to live on. Then hedge funds will pick those homes up for pennies on the dollar, cash, and in bundles of homes. And, of course, tens of millions of young people will lose their inheritance.

When he stops being entertaining he’s through. So far, he hasn’t let his public down. Even his televised trial had it all - sex, betrayal, and suitcases full of cash. 1st class reality TV.

But now no. Now it’s just the incoherent ravings of an aging narcissist who finally got the rug pulled out from under him and knows he’s lost it.

The latest podcast by Brian Taylor Cohen says that the Republicans finally released their platform.... promise to America, or something like that.

Much of it was economic, but if you listen to Brian's commentary, it's mostly BS. Things like I'm going to bring prices back down to pre covid days, get rid of all the immigrants, bring back all manufacturing, tariffs, etc.

There isn't a chance in hell that it will work, just more red meat for the base.

40. Has to call it a 'discussion' because calling it a rally would show he is now a total failure drawing big rally crowds
Wed Aug 14, 2024, 05:33 PM
Aug 2024

His numbers can't touch Harris and/or Walz, so the campaign dumped the word 'rally'. He probably won't, or can't, pay for a 'rally venue' that meets his Secret Service detail's demands for indoors where they can better protect him anyway.

Also, it seems that big, over-aged jet with the flashy TRUMP paint job might be terminally ill so he travel's via Epstein's smaller hand me down charter. Kamala has a REAL jet. It's very shiny, he said so himself. The comparison will only illustrate what a small, pathetic traveler he has become. Image, not reality, is all he has and it's suffering some pretty serious failures, mechanically and otherwise.

He can't have a real 'discussion' because he is so completely and fatally ignorant of any topic that all he can do is pretend his lies are facts. Especially his lies about how wonderful, smart, competent he wants us to think he is. So it is a low expectation rally without the label of rally and a no fact discussion because, well because Trump is allergic to facts.

He should probably just stfu, but he also knows his quiet time since Harris became the top of the DEM ticket has caused his ship to take on more water than he and his poor-choice-VP-candidate can bail out.

In a very short time, he will go from convicted felon to a guy with an ankle bracelet monitor, perhaps house arrest, possibly a guy in an orange suit and jail cell. It's a shortened campaign time for us, but will still be too long for those of us who want to see and hear the last of the biggest fraud in the US.
