Someone called me up this morning and asked if I had watched speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner , and I said no I had forgot about it but I would look it up on You Tube. So I did. Sad to say, his mental condition appears to be deteriorating fast.

The Washington Post   reported:

He said that he had once mixed up CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, whom he said “never smiles,” with a transgender social media personality, Dylan Mulvaney, after he called the 34-year-old cable news star a “young, attractive woman.”
He said he planned to host twice-weekly fights at the White House.

“We will have sloppy Chris Christie, one of the sloppiest human beings, fighting,” Trump said to silence. “I could mention the governor of Chicago, but I’m going to mention instead Jerry Nadler. Oh my God! They’re fighting for a big piece of cheesecake, big fat piece of cheesecake.”
Then he told a joke about Sen. Adam Schiff (D-California).

“I hate some people,” he said to groans. “He’s a liar, and I called him watermelon head because he has the largest head I’ve ever seen with the smallest neck, pencil neck. How does that make a fat, ugly head on a little pencil neck?”

Trump’s entourage laughed at his vitriolic barbs, but the journalists sat in “stunned silence” as Trump attacked the journalists who cover him.

Trump proved to all who heard him that he has low regard for a free press. But he is a master of insults and disparagement.

They won't because it is confusing to them.

The left has tried to gaslight us in believing Mulvaney is a "beautiful woman", but when Trump compares her to Mulvaney, all of a sudden comparing to a "beautiful woman" is an insult.

Sounds like the left is admitting that Collins is ugly. Pretty rude of them to do that.

I happened to see a random juxtaposition where one article on the news feed had pictures of Melania and her prior partner  and immediately below that the next feed was of a stone-faced Kaitlyn Collins and then several of her smiling and the resemblance between the 35 year old reporter and the 25 year old model is uncanny.

Maybe that's why Trump is fascinated with Collins; he sees a young Melania and he isn't getting any respect from either of the women.

I saw some of it. He wasn't delivering humorous barbs. A lot of it got nasty and he didn't mix up Collins with Mulvaney. Whatever joke he had in mind had Collins set up as Budweiser's first choice for the Bud Light commercial, but someone chose Mulvaney instead and that cost Budweiser dearly.

I didn't find the Trump rant itself funny, but I really cracked up as the camera paned the room showing those stone cold faces of the leftwing activists who pretend to be reporters. 

He was really hard on those who didn't attend.

How did Donald Trump go to the head of the polls in 2011 after he took it upon himself to be the king birther? 

He had no other political experience, he had no platform to run on, other that the race based claim Obama was not born in hawaii and was lying about being a student at Columbia.

  • Birtherism became Trump’s signature issue. Throughout early 2011, Trump aggressively promoted false claims about Barack Obama’s birthplace. This vaulted him to the top tier of early GOP polls and gave him national political relevance.

  • He used this attention to test a presidential run. Trump traveled to early primary states, delivered speeches to GOP groups, and openly suggested he might seek the Republican nomination. His birther crusade was widely seen as the central fuel for this trial balloon.

  • Obama released the long‑form birth certificate in April 2011 , largely in response to Trump’s media pressure. Trump publicly took credit for forcing the release.

  • The release undercut his momentum. Once the long-form certificate was published, Trump’s main issue evaporated, and his standing as a potential candidate weakened.

If Trump had anything other than racism to run on, why did his support evaporate right after Obama humiliated him?

But he got his foot in the door and 4 years later came back with many of the same themes - the "real" Americans were having their country taken from them.

Your interpretation of a few items.

According to Gemini:

  • Criminal Justice Reform: Trump signed the First Step Act into law in 2018, which aimed to reduce mandatory minimum sentences for certain nonviolent federal drug offenses and expand job training in federal prisons, disproportionately affecting minority inmates. [ 1 , 2 ]
  • Funding for HBCUs: He signed the FUTURE Act into law, permanently restoring $255 million in annual mandatory funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other minority-serving institutions, alongside forgiving specific disaster and capital improvement loan debts for certain HBCUs. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
  • Opportunity Zones: The 2017 tax overhaul created Opportunity Zones, a program designed to drive long-term private capital investments into economically distressed and predominantly minority communities. [ 1 , 2 ]
  • Economic Indicators: Supporters frequently highlight that prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, national unemployment rates for Black, Hispanic, and Asian American workers reached historic lows, attributing this to broader deregulation and tax cuts. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]

Yes, with a moderate cabinet and seasoned WH and GOP operatives in the WH during his first term , Trump did several good things while not fucking up too many things because the adults would not let him.

Correction to Gemini. The Future Act did not "restore" funding . The HBCU funding was annual or biannual through many administrations, Trump made it automatically renew annually, removing it as a bargaining chip for either party.

The opportunity zones never panned out. Trump continues to repeat dollar figures and 9,000 distressed communities but neither the WH or the IRS ever respond to reporters request for proof of success or validation of the numbers.

Go to the lead in the polls in 2011?  He wasn't even a candidate then?


He had no other political experience, he had no platform to run on, other that the race based claim Obama was not born in hawaii and was lying about being a student at Columbia. 

Obama produced the documents and it ended the issue and btw there was nothing racial about it. The issue had been raised involving white candidates before Obama. We wouldn't have such issues if political parties verified place of birth for candidates before primaries are held. If that is the basis of the "white grievence" claim, then you have failed miserably.

False. As a candidate in 2016 Trump's signature issue was IMMIGRATION/MIGRATION.

He used this attention to test a presidential run. 

False. He already had plenty of attention via talk shows and saying whatever was on his mind.

Obama released the long‑form birth certificate in April 2011 

And that ended the issue. The DNC should have had that released in 2008.

The release undercut his momentum. 

That has been proven false. The RNC couldn't seem to get rid of him in 2016 when most people doubted he had a chance.

A month ago,  Donald Trump   led in the polls , his rapid ascent  propelling him  past established Republicans like former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty. But as fast as Trump rose in the GOP field, he’s plummeted even faster, to the point where it seems his presidential aspirations are barely a footnote.

After leading an April survey of the presidential candidates by Public Policy Polling (PPP), Trump has sunk to the bottom of the field in  PPP’s latest offering , tied for fifth place with Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.). Out in front are Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney, with 19 percent and 18 percent, respectively.

What explains Trump’s precipitous drop? Here’s more from PPP:

As Trump got more and more exposure over the last month Republicans didn’t just decide they weren’t interested in having him as their nominee—they also decided they flat don’t like him. Only 34 percent of GOP voters now have a favorable opinion of Trump to 53 percent who view him in a negative light.

Trump really made hay out of the ‘birther’ issue and as the resonance of that has declined, so has his standing. In February we found that 51% of Republican primary voters thought Barack Obama was not born in the United States. Now with the release of his birth certificate only 34 percent of GOP partisans fall into that camp, and Trump’s only in fifth place with that now smaller group of the electorate at 9 percent.

Another Poll Confirms Trump as Republican Frontrunner - The Atlantic

Is the Donald now a fake fake candidate? Donald Trump is leading the pack of Republican presidential candidates, according to a new poll from Public Policy Polling. Trump is ahead of second-place Mike Huckabee by nine points--despite that fact that Huckabee has actually held elected office and gave a strong challenge to John McCain in the 2008 GOP primary. PPP's Tom Jensen writes that just 38 percent of Republican primary voters say they'd vote for someone who rejects birtherism-- and most of those people are supporters of Mitt Romney. And 23 percent of Republican voters say they won't vote for anyone who's not a birther. Slate's Dave Weigel says this result "makes it harder and harder to pretend [Trump's] a non-factor in 2012."

The turmoil within the Republican Party has created these unusual conditions in which Glenn Beck says Trump makes him "uncomfortable," while the chair of the Republican National Committee calls him "credible." But Trump's the only candidate who's managed to capitalize on staying power of the conspiracy theory to win "the highest level of support we've found for anyone in our national GOP polling so far in 2011," Jensen explains, after months of "gridlock" among the top tier.
The poll finds support breaks down among the candidates like this:

Trump : 26 percent
Huckabee : 17 percent
Romney : 15 percent

Factually AI
Contemporaneous reporting and later analysis describe how embracing birtherism amplified Trump’s media profile and connected him to an existing strain of Republican and conservative voters already receptive to questions about Obama’s legitimacy; scholars argue birther rhetoric served as a signifier of identity to a faction uneasy with demographic and cultural change, making it useful to anyone seeking a right-leaning political base  [3] [4] . News outlets observed that as Trump “considered running for president in 2012,” his birther activism positioned him as a leader of that fringe movement and pressured other Republicans to react, which is consistent with a calculated effort to manufacture political clout  [7] [8] .

This is not an invented take

It is an invented take. And certain people lapped it up.

Here:

"Hillary Clinton  had a rough week. From collapsing into a vehicle to her collapsing poll numbers, the Democratic darling is steering her campaign into an iceberg. Put simply, she’s losing.

On Friday, Hillary hit rock bottom. In order to turn the tide in the final weeks of the campaign she resurrected an issue that had long disappeared from the 2016 campaign — birtherism. It was a move that will prove to be her Waterloo.

{mosads}“For five years [Republican nominee Donald Trump] has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president,” Hillary said. “His campaign was founded on this outrageous lie.”

The “birther movement” of which Hillary speaks dealt with the issue of whether President  Barack Obama  was born in the United States. Because the President failed to release his birth certificate when asked, some began to question what the President was hiding. After Trump brought the issue to the forefront, Obama finally release a birth certificate showing he was born in the United States.

To Hillary, though, Trump’s attachment to the birther movement was much more nefarious. In fact, it was racist.

“He is feeding into the worst impulses, the bigotry and bias that lurks in our country,” the Democratic presidential nominee proclaim. “Barack Obama was born in America, plain and simple, and  Donald Trump  owes him and the American people an apology.”

Hillary’s motivations were clear. She flunked her first pseudo debate with Trump on NBC’s Commander in Chief forum earlier this month, placed herself in hot water when she declared half of Trump’s supporters were in a basket of deplorables, and further sowed seeds of mistrust when she lied about her health. She had to change the narrative.

“Hold out baits to entice the enemy,” wrote Sun Tzu, “feign disorder, and crush him.” Hillary, by baiting Trump with the birther controversy, was hoping the outspoken candidate would respond in a manner than that was undisciplined and unpresidential. She was hoping Trump would be Trump. It was a gamble she lost.

“President Barack Obama was born in the United States, period,” Trump said in response. “Now, we all want to get back to making America strong and great again.”

Trump’s response — short and simple — showed a candidate who was not only more disciplined but a candidate who understood he was in the lead. It showed a candidate that was willing to shrug of a desperate attack in order to stay on a script that has brought Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, and Colorado back in play.

Moreover, Trump turned the issue back on Hillary. In laughing off the attack, Trump reminded America that the so called seeds of birtherism were planted by Team Clinton during her rough and tumble primary with Obama in 2008. He also reminded the American people that he was the one who settled the issue, thus removing the cloud hanging over Obama’s head.

“Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy,” Trump said. “I finished it.”

Seeing a Hillary misfire, the media pounced. A clamoring press demanded an apology from Trump for insinuating Obama was not native born.

But why should Trump apologize for merely asking to see a birth certificate? If an American wants to board a plane they must give their first born, but the leader of the free world does not have to show a birth certificate? If anyone should apologize, it should be the President who let the controversy lag on by failing to provide a simple document we all need to show to get a driver’s license. 

Next the media claimed Trump lied when he claimed Hillary’s campaign was behind the birther movement. This, too, was a premature denunciation.

Patti Solis Doyle, who was Hillary’s campaign manager until the Iowa caucuses in 2008, admitted first in a tweet and second in a CNN interview that a Hillary staffer first spread the birther issue. While the staffer was fired, the termination happened after the cat was let out of the bag. Patient Zero, thus, was a member of Team Hillary."

The birther issue was a non-issue that only had a life because Obama didn't turn over his birth certificate right away.

The only real danger Obama faced during his campaign came not from anything a Hillary staffer created or anything Trump or McCain said, it came from his own wife who was saying things like "the only time I was proud of the country was when they elected Barack." The Obama campaign quickly found a way to shut her up. The media kept the story of the Reverand Wright quiet, and the financial crisis took care of the rest.

Bill Maher is wrong unless he is talking about Communism as defined by Marx.   If he is using Communism as you use it (USSR-style), he is flat out wrong.   And anyone who can read can see that the DSA (for all its faults) is NOT advocating USSR-style Communism.

DSA's most idealistic views are arguably aligned with Marx' most idealistic views.   

Be specific.  Details matter; definitions matter.

After all these years, you still do not know what that means???

That is evidence that Mamdami is in favor of people living to work vs working to live.   That he favors a society where technology is sufficient to ensure that basic needs for everyone is systemically available and that people do not live paycheck to paycheck.   That he believes in an idealized society where people contribute their talents to make it better for everyone.

That is an ideal; it is arguably pie in the sky.   But there is nothing wrong with the ideal itself.   That ideal is what Marx defined as Communism.

Contrast that with the Communism of the former USSR.   Now show us all evidence that Mamdami, et. al. seek an authoritarian command economy where the majority of the people have no democratic say and live a life of poverty and oppression while the ruling class enjoys the benefits of the single party rule.

Again with this obtuse game of yours.   

Communism, as Marx envisioned it, was an idealized classless, stateless society in which productive resources and public affairs were collectively controlled.

It was, IMO, a fantasy — Marx's utopia.

No authoritarian state, no ruling class, no capitalist exploitation of workers, and no class with power based on controlling the means of production and distribution.   People would contribute according to their abilities and the collectively produced social product would be used to meet society’s needs.   To wit:  “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

It is accurate to describe the former USSR system as a brutal, authoritarian and oppressive one-party system that exploited, imprisoned and killed its own citizens.  It is also conventional to call it a “communist state” because it was ruled by a Communist Party professing Marxism-Leninism;  it successfully created another meaning for the label 'Communism'. 

Claiming that the USSR itself was the classless, stateless society Marx described as communism reflects ignorance of even the most basic distinction between Marx’s vision and the brutal authoritarian regime that claimed to be working toward that end-state while demonstrably moving in the opposite direction.   Political repression, entrenched hierarchy, and control by a ruling elite is the opposite of a free people collectively governing themselves.

It is pathetic that you continue to ignore (intentional faux obtuseness) the profound difference between CommunismUSSR and CommunismMARX.

Another witless quip from you that missed the point.

The point is that regardless of what one calls a system, it is stupid and wrong to conflate Communism USSR with Communism MARX .

It is an illustration of profound ignorance to conflate Communism USSR —the actual authoritarian system created by the USSR—with Communism MARX —the classless, stateless society Marx described as the ultimate end-state.  They share a name and an ideological lineage (Lenin and Stalin claimed to be Marxists), but they are NOT the same socioeconomic/political system.

800

The fundamental idea behind Marxism was to eliminate an oppressive, exploitative economic ruling class (bourgeoisie), not to replace economic power with single-party authoritarian rule.   In short, socioeconomic/political control by the majority, not a tiny minority .

Marx's vision is arguably unrealistic, but it is the polar opposite of Communism USSR .

What disgusts me most about the Trump presidency is the level of tolerance that many have for what politicians do.   This goes so beyond not holding them accountable.   Trump has been a disaster for this nation and continues to do damage every week he is in office.

Yet, no matter what, there are still millions who support this sick, abysmal human being.

Not only does this encourage others to behave badly, but it proves that we cannot trust the electorate (at all) to elect suitable individuals to run our government.   This profound failure of the electorate is the root of the problem.

Someone who attempted to overturn the 2020 election should never have been allowed another opportunity to run for the presidency.  The fact that Trump was able to run again—and then win—stands as one of the clearest indictments of the failures of our political system and of the judgment exercised by many voters.

Three months ago, a   White   House   Correspondents ’ Association (WHCA)   dinner   that shouldn’t have been held in the first place was cut short by a gunman. On Friday evening, the do-over of “nerd prom,” as the event is also known, featured no such drama. In fact, there was none at all, just an absolute bore of a speech from Donald Trump.

Instead of delivering the kind of self-deprecating humor that has allowed normal presidents to show off their comedic chops in the past, Trump instead spent most of his remarks on airing grievances.

While he started off normal enough, the speech quickly went off the rails.

Trump talked a lot about his ballroom, the chandeliers in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where the event was held this time, the UFC fight he staged in front of the   White   House   earlier this month, and the 450,000 people that he pretended showed up for this Independence Day speech.

And then the insults started.

Here is a quick summary of them:

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is fat, as are Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and the “governor of Chicago” (which isn’t a real thing).

Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is dumb, but not as dumb as Don Lemon.

Bette Midler and Jane Fonda are uglier than those beat-up UFC fighters, and Bruce Springsteen “looks like hell.”

Perhaps the funniest part of the whole speech was when Trump admitted that he watched the clip of the WHCA in which former President Barack Obama roasted him “thousands of times.” That would certainly make sense and explain part of the seething rage he continues to direct at his predecessor.

But back to his “jokes.”

Late night talk show hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Fallon are terrible and have no talent.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has a watermelon-sized head, and Trump hates him.

Rosie O’Donnell is a “sick older woman.”

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins should smile more, and all of the media is fake news.

Oh, and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), former Vice President Kamala Harris, and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) are also low-IQ.

Great stuff, Mr. President!

Sadly, that wasn’t even the end of it; we are just tired of listing all the people Trump insulted, so you can imagine how the people who sat through this snoozefest felt.

By the way, Fox News’ take on all this was that the president “struck a more conciliatory tone.”

Now   that’s   funny.

Trump then followed-up all of that name-calling with some of his favorite lies about how he won the 2020 election and that the US has entered a “golden age.”

Then, mercifully, he wrapped things up after more than an hour. At that point, we are quite sure that many attendees wished that the redo of the WHCA   dinner   had also been cut short.

But don’t feel bad for them. After all, they should have boycotted the event instead of honoring a man who is an enemy of a free press.
