“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.

"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.

“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”

“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.

“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”

    Watch how this story disappears within a day. But the trolls will still be talking about Biden in the debate until next January.

      Difference is, no republican cares if Trump is mentally fit to be president, nor will being mentally unfit cause him to lose the election.

      Democrats and Biden on the other hand…

        no republican cares if Trump is mentally fit to be president

        This issue, in this case, isn’t mental fitness. Trump’s comments are right in line with what he was saying four, eight, and forty years ago.

        He loves the idea of lynchings as a tool of criminal justice enforcement, particularly when the lynchings target the political underclass. He loves the idea of accusing entire populations of violent criminality, particularly when those communities don’t support his political goals. And he loves the spectacle of it all - the pomp and circumstance of the courts leveraged against his opponents, the “beautification” of a gentrified neighborhood, and the fixation on tourism as an end goal of any socio-economic renovation.

        Republicans eat this shit up now, just like when they ate up Michael Bloomberg’s Disneyfication of downtown New York or the massive tourist traps that Nevada and Arizona and Florida has been turned into. Conservatives dream of living their lives in one big resort community, Donald Trump knows it, and this is his promise to do to DC what was done to so many other Reagan-Era cities and states.

        To say he’s mentally unfit would imply he wasn’t vibing right along with the tens of millions of white nationalist suburbanites who think the whole country should be a country club that pampers them 24/7.

          The mental fitness question isn’t because of his view that we’re already in a Mad Max hellscape only he can lead the true believers out of.

          The mental fitness question is because he sounds like he’s having a stroke anytime he has to string together more than 2 sentences.

      That’s because democratic voters expect more from their candidates. Let the republicans put up this joke of a fascist. I expect better than Biden and Hillary Clinton and will be happy the day Biden drops out.

      And if he doesn’t, I will vote for him and bitch about the Democratic Party the same way I did in 2016.

        I’ll be doing the same. Unlike a lot of the people complaining here. Hopefully he wins and we can regroup over the next four years. If the no-voters learn their lesson from how close it can get, maybe we can work together over that time to get someone younger, and more effective. Until then- Biden is all we have to stop America from becoming a fascist dictatorship.

        Disclaimer: To the troll that follows me around accusing me of making blanket statements when I never do- note how I said “a lot” not “all.”

          I disagree that he is all we have. If he drops out before the DNC, that is plenty of time for his replacement and their VP pick to make an impact on the campaign.

      there’s nothing trollish about it. first of all, i don’t understand why some liberals are crying so much about TFG fumbling and no one calling for him to drop out.

      WHO’S SUPPOSED TO CALL FOR IT?

      his base? they love him and don’t care.

      his opposition? why? he’s a terrible candidate most people hate. why would his opposition want him to drop out? so that a less hated person replaces him and guarantees the republican win? you do know Clinton was the only person in the world who could’ve lost to him, and now Biden is trying super hard to be the second, right?

      the reason people are calling for Biden to drop out is because he’s polling unfavorably against TFG. the reason they’re not calling for TFG to drop out is because he’s a much hated person who would’ve surely and easily lost if only someone looking vaguely alive would run against him.

        Sure, convince the DNC that a progressive should be on their ballot, so we can vote for them and not waste it instead of senile men fighting for scraps.

        The system needs to be gently brought to its knees before we can remove its head.

            And calling out the propagandists for their inability to understand the simplest concepts of politics, and their blatant misinformation is the most effecting way to beat MAGA trills.

            How many of you get your posts removed for misinformation? Check the mod logs bud. Because from where I sit- the people urging everyone to vote get only their shit removed for bing uncivil and aggressive towards the propagandists urging people not to-

            whereas the propagandists get their shit removed for misinformation. CONSTANTLY.

              You are the propagandist kiddo, or rather, you are that whom have been so heavily propagandized to, you’ve lost your connection to reality; so from your perspective, everything that disagrees with your world view appears to you to be propaganda, because your connection to reality has been effectively severed.

              And specifically thing thing that got called “misinformation”? It was an ground up analysis I did looking at Bidens probability of winning given his current approval rating. I can repost it if you like.

              And guess what?

              That analysis predicted this exact moment.

                It’s unbelievably funny to me how you people cite “analytics” and polls to support your bullshit where you’ve been told time and again that that shit can say whatever you need it to say to support an agenda/argument, or in the case of news media- PROFIT.

                Congrats man. You’re the reason you’re getting the news that supports your own beleif. Crazy, right? I know! Bonkers!!!

                Everyone needs to vote like polls don’t exist. Plain and simple.

                    Says the person that thinks doing nothing will bring change. I’ve asked you people this before and they always run away…

                    I’ll ask again. If you answer, it’ll at least be interesting, if you don’t- I get to not have to interact with you- either way, I win. So here goes:

                    When in history has doing nothing ever brought desired change in an election.

                    I await your strawman.

            I listened to a podcast yesterday that said the same thing. Most of us were conservative/liberal at some point. What started to change our minds? Many change when our views are mocked by their wider social circles. Maybe not at once, but eventually.
