Did I miss this in the news today? This footage was playing at the trump rally? as the J6 Choir sang "Justice for All" which is a new charity single that trump has released.
Trump stood solemnly on a podium with hand on heart and footage from the Capitol riot was shown on big screens and US flags billowed in the wind. That song tells you a lot because its number one in every single category,

(51,723 posts)It is as if he actually wants everyone to make fun of him. He is a laughing stock, a big, fat walking joke. A truly desperate, deranged blob. The thing is is that he knows this and chooses to go down this route. He can't stand his fans and never could. He knows they are stupid trash bu that is his base so he is marketing himself to them. A true con artist.

(2,911 posts)we've just been trained to hear dog whistles as being only about race. I won't watch the video... I'm sick enough today... but the line under the video is all the dog whistle I need to read to know the kind of whistles he's blowing. "The final battle" is nothing but a dog whistle to the Dominionists who want to put us under theocratic rule. Armageddon. That's what he's promising. At Waco, where one fiery Apocalypse already happened, at the hands and urging of someone else who promoted himself as akin to the second coming.
But at this point, *rump is all noise to these theocrats. He's been bleeding them off to Desantis. Desantis is the "little boots" with the long list of legislative and judicial accomplishments that actually reach out and hurt the people the Dominionists want to oppress. HE'S the one I'm most worried about in 2024, not *rump. And, with Rove's little Freudian slip the other night on Fox, evidently our true rulers, the monied PTB, have decided to put all their money behind him. He's going to run... and he's going to be hard to keep out of the presidency with the way the R's have elections rigged now.
I think this line under the pic speaks truth, but not as *rump sees it... I think 2024 will be the final battle for democracy - here, and perhaps in the world - for a long while. The pendulum will swing back, but there'll be a lot of pain and death before then.

The hard part is seeing so many Americans who agree with the heinous crimes and destruction
of our country and people.
America's national character has changed for the worse.
