Dogwhistling 101: Trump keeps invoking the Black man who was in the white HOUSE.

(and no, I didn't make a mistake in capitalization)

The Rawstory article titled 'He thinks he's running against Obama': The View questions Trump's mental fitness discusses observations made by the show's co-hosts on Tuesday, specifically a comment made by Joy Behar in which she said

"He keeps saying he's running against [former President Barack] Obama. He keeps saying that as if Joe Biden is in cognitive decline, not Trump."

Well, I think what Ms Behar (and perhaps a few others) don't get is that YES, Trump IS running against Barack Obama.

Granted, Trump IS a psychopath, a sick minded, mean spirited con-man and a cancer upon our society who's at least as evil as DeNiro says he is... a rabble rousing agent of chaos, beholden to no one or nothing other than HIMSELF.

But Trump is also crazy like a fox. And his repeated mentioning of Obama, nothing short of a DELIBERATE dog-whistle, intended to appeal to the same bigoted and malignant mentalities as did his previous reference to immigrants "poisoning U.S. blood."

Trump is a bigot, a hater, and a divider. And he knows NOTHING riles his rabid MAGA cult following like reminding them of the Black man who was in the white house.

Nothing.

What If?

Some are convinced that the whole MAGA speakership debacle is merely a matter of rank incompetence:

Sunday Four-Play: GOP still deciding which fanatical, anti-American traitor to anoint as speaker - Dailykos

whereas SOME of us have begun to wonder whether it's something ELSE:

What If? - Dailykos


What if all of this hubbub of finding the next speaker is just an act - a "freedom" caucus pantomime of a democratic process whose real aim is to go absolutely NOWHERE?


Any thoughts?

Is Anybody REALLY Surprised That the MAGA Cult Would Finally Get Around to Book BURNINGS? ANYBODY??

Missouri pastor on upcoming book-burning: "If God told me to burn the book Clifford the Big Red Dog, then I'd burn the book Clifford the Big Red Dog"



"If God told me to burn the book Clifford the Big Red Dog, then I'd burn the book Clifford the Big Red Dog," says Dusty Hill, lead pastor of Emmanuel Chapel in Lebanon, Missouri, when asked about what books will be torched at the good ol' fashioned book-burning scheduled for Halloween night. According to a flyer posted on social media, the "youth lead" (SIC) event will feature a "bonfire where we will burn books and ungodly artifacts" and "notepads to write and burn lies of the enemy."


Frankly, I'm surprised it took 'em THIS long.

"If God lays it on your heart to burn, you can burn it," Hill later added.

Really...

Why Are Democrats Always Expected To Apologize for Saying Stuff That...

... isn't NEARLY as bad as the unconscionable, hateful S*** that MAGAS say on a DAILY BASIS???

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Defends Use of ‘S–tter’ in Congress: ‘I Will Match Your Energy or Exceed It’: The Texas Congresswoman has no regrets - The Wrap

When asked... what prompted the use of the word, Crockett explained, “To be clear, Nancy Mace continued to cuss in this hearing,” said the congresswoman from South Carolina. “And my attitude is, I will match your energy or exceed it.”

When asked what she might say to people who might question Crockett’s strategy of “matching energy with energy,” the congresswoman replied, “I say that they don’t understand what’s going on in Congress and they don’t understand what’s going on in our country.

“Right now, I think historically — and I applaud those who have come before me — Democrats have always wanted to be the ones to say, ‘This is how we are supposed to conduct ourselves.’ And they think that just by maintaining that type of decorum that MAGAs and others will respond and do the same,” she explained.

Crockett continued, “But they don’t. And so sometimes you’ve gotta make sure that they know that you can bring it as well.”


[portions of text bolded by me]

Damn skippy, Rep Crockett. What I'VE been saying for QUITE SOME TIME. What's good for the goose....
