More Abortion Contortions

August 27, 2024August 27, 2024 Buck Banks

We’re used to seeing Donald Trump’s policy contortions,
Like, whatever’s playing this minute is his current position.
A nationwide one would be great,
Or should we leave it to the states?
You just can’t pin the Trumpster down on abortion.

Trump: Hot or Not Hot?

August 27, 2024 Buck Banks

“I was sort of like a hot guy. I was hot as a pistol. I think I was hotter than I am now, and I became president. Okay. I don’t know. I said to somebody, was I hotter before or hotter now? I don’t know. Who the hell knows?”

— Donald Trump, at a campaign rally.

Trump Campaign Wastes Donations on Broadcasting Ads Targeted at Mar-a-Lago

Newsweek: George Conway, a conservative attorney and critic of former President Donald Trump, is targeting the Republican nominee in his own neighborhood with a six-figure attack.

Conway’s Anti-Psychopath PAC launched a new ad campaign on Thursday that will highlight Trump’s “mental unfitness for office.” It will run for two weeks on Fox News, ESPN, and the Golf Channel around Bedminster and Mar-a-Lago.

The 60-second cable TV ad begins with Conway telling the viewer, “Donald Trump has never, ever been right in the head,” before showing a montage of the former president superimposed onto an image of Trump’s brain.

“Donald Trump wanted to make this election all about mental fitness,” George Conway said in a press release. “We’re good with that. Even before he began showing age-related cognitive decline, Trump had a long history of doing and saying bizarre things.”

Now the Trump campaign is responding by counterprogramming Conway’s ad and, like his Anti-Psychopath PAC ad, the pro-Trump ad will only be shown around Trump’s residence.

The Whimsy That’s Lindsey

August 27, 2024 Buck Banks

Sometimes, being Lindsey Graham really stinks,
On top of the elbow pokes and knowing winks.
He’s got the spine of an eggplant
And the heart of a syncophant,
But now even Donald Trump doesn’t care what Lindsey thinks.

Poetic Justice

Verbatim

“Relax. We are exactly on the trajectory of where we’ve always planned to be. Steady at the wheel, everybody. It’s gonna be fine. Our best days are ahead of us.”

— Speaker Mike Johnson, quoted by NBC News.

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement.”

— George Will

“What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I’ve seen in my time in public service… You have two individuals and clear distress, without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, were killed by the United States.”

— Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), quoted by CNN, after being shown the full video of the September 2 boat strikes.
