talkpoliticsThere's something deeply perverse about a guy who has never (not even for a second!) worked a hard, low-paying job taking pictures of himself in a fast-food chain restaurant where people bust their asses working for minimum wage. (The same person is from the party that stubbornly votes against raising the minimum wage every time!)
All of this in the name of a Halloween costume party, only... for an election campaign.
Why? Because Kamala Harris had orked at that chain 40 years ago.
I mean... I mean, all of this is done so that the Orange stain on America's pants could also count himself among the "hard working folks".
Note: while he was still president, he took a picture with the Bible, holding it upside down - for this purpose he had posted a whole police unit outside on the street where a protest against him was taking place. You know, to protect himself from the love of the common folk.
While pretending to be an employee at that fast food chain, Mr Orange Head claimed that Kamala had never worked "that kind of job", even though he knew full well that was not true.
I've got to give it to this guy. The lies shoot out of his mouth faster than his brain can control it. Everything is automatic with his lies - almost on autopilot.
The small difference here being that Harris had ACTUALLY worked "that kind of work" while Mr Orange just posed for a few photos and then left. Right now, this tiny detail supposedly doesn't matter much, but at the same time it has a gigantic significance - it shows the mentality of a narcissistic, pathological liar.
But we already knew that, didn't we?

And you know what's the funniest thing about this story? That actually Donald Trump couldn't possibly be hired at that restaurant because the chain in question has a background check policy (for criminal records) on applicants and he couldn't have passed it, being a convicted felon and all that. Details, I know.
This is the same "businessman" who doesn't understand how tariffs work and who thinks that by imposing them on Chinese goods, they will be paid by the Chinese, not the American consumer... Sort of like the "Mexico will pay for the wall" story. Now that I think about it, it makes more sense to me how he managed to bankrupt 4 casinos throughout his career as a “businessman”.
His fans (because it's hard for me to call them anything else) who've decided to vote for him try to hide that their vote will go his way simply out of love for racism; they overwhelmingly answer (when asked why they support him) with the claim that the economy was better under his rule. Which is a complete lie, of course. Under Biden, the United States has achieved record low unemployment, reduced the domestic debt, even the price of insulin has falledn to 30 bucks from 98, if you'd like a more specific example.

At the moment, Mr Orange's campaign is talking about integrity, but at the same time (paid for by his new friend Elon Musk, who, in my opinion, will be the first lesbian villain in a James Bond movie) fake "advertisement" campaigns are running allegedly on behalf of Kamala Harris, in which talk is being claimed about finding permanent homes for immigrants and refugees. The goal? To instill fear in the population that immigrants and refugees en masse (as written in the advertisements) will be settled among them.
Where does this happen? in Pennsylvania, of course, because it's one of the "swing" states that will decide the election.
The group on whose behalf the ads are being distributed is called Progress 2028 and falsely presents itself as a lobbyist group for Harris. A journalistic investigation has exposed the lie, but how many people have already fallen for it? How many people will know about this journalistic investigation?

Yeah, that's Elon Musk (my compatriot by the way, apologies to the world), the same guy who claims to promote "freedom of speech" but immediately takes down from Twitter the profiles of journalists who write against him. And now, against his Orange friend, a convicted criminal. These guys are just born for each other.
Musk is now paying $100 to anyone who signs a petition for "freedom of speech" and the "right to bear arms." The "petition" is actually a vote-getter for the Republicans - for Trump's minions, that is. We are talking about buying votes, yes. In a country where there are states that have banned bystanders from giving bottles of water to those waiting in line to vote because it "could influence their vote."
That's a whole story in itself. They've made voting in places like Georgia especially difficult and slow because the vote there has shockingly turned from red to blue. Republican state lawmakers have penalized voters by cutting the number of polling stations and forcing people to stand in mile-long lines. Because the people did not give up, they've now made it illegal to give them water.
You know... Democracy.
The same Trump minions who claim that climate change is a liberal "hoax" because man "couldn't meddle with the processes of nature" are now claiming that the hurricanes in Florida (a Republican state) were made by secret government "machines” to punish Trump voters.
And these same Republicans have voted to cut federal money for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Now they're spitting on the government for not giving enough money. When the Democrats proposed a re-vote on the emergency funds, Mike Johnson - Speaker of the House (that is, with the rank of a leader) deliberately did NOT allow a meeting to vote on funding for the Hurricane Helen relief fund.
Mike Johnson has said he will allow the review AFTER the election. Despite a risk of disaster. Mike Johnson is a Republican - one of Mr Orange's minions.
We've recently learned that Trump had 7 private conversations with the war criminal Putin after he ceased to be President of the United States. That is, during the time he was ILLEGALLY keeping top secret documents at his Mar-a-Lago mansion. Do you remember that too? Yes, the FBI found top secret documents including in places like Trump's toilet, in his private mansion when he was no longer president and had no right to access those documents. Well... guess what, they were at his house.
Well, it was at that time that he talked with Putin.
No wonder Trump has now started speaking against Zelensky and setting his fans to soften the tone towards his friend Putin.
These are the same fans who had their photos taken wearing t-shirts saying they'd rather be "Russian" than Democrat. It seems they may have a chance at both – “democrats” they will never be; but they are about to get their second wish granted - to be "Russian".
Have you ever wondered WHY the Putinists like Trump so much?

I don't even want to begin about his mental health, which he claims is better than Harris', but he refuses to show his medical records (like Harris has done, he has refused all TV debates, refused several interviews, and at one of his last campaign events, has cut off questions and said no one wanted to listen to questions, instead they played music for the crowd and he strutted like a granny thinking he was dancing. No one wanted to listen to questions of course, it's important to have music and chatter, what questions are you talking about, is this a political campaign or a reality show FFS? It's far more important to have showtime than a serious discussion about policies.
The problem in the States is far from (just) Trump, because he is just one person. The problem is that HALF of all eligible voters will vote for him. They will vote for fascism and dictatorship, if only to have a blank check to express their hatred and bigotry openly. Half of the entire nation! And the rest of the world (excluding Russia and Belarus and a couple others) cannot even fathom how it is possible that the two candidates are tied at the polls!
Even if Trump does not become president, Trumpism will live on. The monster has been awakened. And other orange stains on America's pants will try to move into the White House and become the leaders of the United States. And from now on, every 4 years, the world will have to wait with bated breath to see if the Americans wouldn't this time put the monkey with a grenade in the White House after all. It's just that the monkey with a grenade will be different every time.
All of this in the name of a Halloween costume party, only... for an election campaign.
