For the past eight years, Jordan Klepper has traveled across America from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to Mesa, Arizona to question the MAGA faithful about their devotion to Donald Trump, and he's always done it alone––until now. In this half-hour special, Jordan will travel to Trump events in swing states over the election's crucial closing days. This time, he'll bring along some curious friends and experts in their fields to help unpack and understand why so many Americans are supporting Donald Trump.

RFK Jr and Elon Musk are often the butt of jokes, but I think voters would do well to follow the policy of people on safari in Africa: don't laugh at what's coming towards you; only laugh when the threat is safely in the rearview mirror.

Here's a CNN article about what Trump, RFK, Elon and others might bring to the US:-

Trump has promised to give Kennedy leeway to remake the way the government health apparatus protects Americans. "I'm going to let him go wild on the food. I'm going to let him go wild on the medicines," Trump said during his closing argument rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

Much of what Kennedy pushes sounds positive. His "Make America Healthy Again" PAC promises to focus on "prioritizing regenerative agriculture, preserving natural habitats, and eliminating toxins from our food, water, and air." But those ideas are short on specifics, and there are personal issues that would impede anyone else from government service. Kennedy compared vaccine requirements with the Nazi Germany era, claiming Anne Frank was in a better situation; was once arrested for heroin possession; and has pushed wild conspiracy theories about chemicals in the water making children gay or transgender.

In video obtained by CNN, Kennedy told supporters on Monday that Trump had promised to give him sweeping power over multiple agencies...

"The key that I think I'm – you know, that President Trump has promised me is – is control of the public health agencies, which are HHS (Department of Health and Human Services) and its sub-agencies, CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), FDA (Food and Drug Administration), NIH (National Institutes of Health) and a few others, and then also the USDA (Department of Agriculture)..."

Both Trump and Kennedy have expressed vaccine skepticism, and Kennedy has been a longtime activist pushing debunked theories about vaccines.

 Musk...would be given a much wider portfolio than Kennedy and be charged with a massive downsizing of the federal government.

Musk has said he could trim $2 trillion, perhaps with help from artificial intelligence – and rolling back regulations.
The problem, according to the former Treasury Secretary Larry Summer, is that there's not $2 trillion to be gained from massive government layoffs:

"Respectfully, I think it is idiotic... here's the problem: Only 15% of the federal budget is for payroll. So even if you took all the employees, every single person working for the federal government out, you couldn't save anything like $2 trillion."
_____________

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a top Trump ally, said in Pennsylvania on Monday that if Trump wins and Republicans keep the House, there would be a "massive" overhaul of the health care system. "No Obamacare?" shouted an attendee at the campaign event. "No Obamacare," Johnson said.

Insane Clown Posse backs Kamala Harris.

I know this forum takes their political perspectives as gospel.



Also, I don't think comparing Trump to Hitler is accurate either. He's way more Mussolini. Hitler actually believes the shit he said which is why he had a mass extermination. Trump is kind of a bumbling mess that will switch perspectives to what ever fits his motive in the moment. That's why Trump does both the racist campaign against the Central Park 5 and also pardons Kodak Black.

I agree, I forget who I talked to about this but they were saying there are 2 types of fascists, the meathead Mussolini types and the incel weirdo Hitler types. If anyone gives me Hitler vibes it's Vance rather than Trump.

Photos of the float in Wednesday night's parade in Mount Pleasant, in Westmoreland County, show a utility vehicle decorated with American flags and campaign signs for former President Donald Trump and people dressed as United States Secret Service agents with what appears to be a rifle mounted on top and with a person dressed as Harris chained up and walking behind the cart. KDKA-TV later learned it was a fake gun.


In a statement on Facebook on Thursday night, the Mount Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department apologized "for allowing the offensive participants" to be in the parade.

"We do not share in the values represented by those participants, and we understand how it may have hurt or offended members of our community," the post said.

I think the fire department approved the float because they thought it was funny and after the social media backlash now they are pretending like they don't agree with the float that they preapproved.

They should vote to change the name of the town to Mount Unpleasant. More hateful rhetoric from the man who may soon hold a very important briefcase... 

[DJChameleon]

Yep it's weird how people try to downplay his hateful rhetoric and don't realize how much of a cult following he has. His cult is so easily influenced he can say anything like he normally does even if it's a joke and they will take it seriously. Just like how they did with Jan 6th. Plausible denialibity doesn't work with his fans.

i could post this onto some facebook profiles and they would think its completely real

It may be something of a weird take (is that how you kids say it these days?) or even seen as hysterical hyperbole (more in my wheelhouse there) but I could see, if Trump wins, the possibility of him urging his acolytes to hang Harris for the heinous crime of opposing his almighty will. I mean, it's not like they don't have the gallows, and you can bet they're itching to use them. Fucking scary.
