On Trump's diminishing cognition (et al): "Trump’s ignorance, callousness, and lies are not new. But what is novel is the way they all seem to have been slowed down these days so that he seems ever more adrift in his own fog of hate and ego. He mixes up world leaders, confuses countries, garbles pronouns, loses track of his nonsense talking points." Aaron Rupar
Trump's decompensation was the big debate day story
Disoriented and incoherent, he hit new lows of unfitness.

Catherine Crews, hero: She voted to protect the Constitution . . . She voted for honesty, decency & integrity. She voted for loving her neighbor, regardless of their race, religion or who they love. She voted for immigrants who she said want to live & contribute to the country but who have been the targets of political rhetoric & hate. She voted for women to have the right to make decisions about their own bodies & for building up the poor & the middle class.

"That internal survey showing so many Teamsters backing Trump highlighted something else: The union’s leadership must have done a dreadful job informing & educating rank-and-file members about how hugely anti-union Trump is & how aggressively anti-union & anti-worker Trump’s first administration was . . . Teamster leaders evidently also failed to explain to rank-and-file members that Harris has fought for policy after policy strongly backed by the Teamsters."

The Reason This Union Gave for Not Endorsing Harris Is Shocking. But It Makes One Thing Clear.
The Teamsters are playing a dangerous game of chicken with Trump.

Mary Trump: "Surely a political press corps that spent months arguing that President Biden’s age rendered him mentally unfit, wouldn’t look the other way when the Republican candidate, the oldest person to run for president in American history, is not only old but decompensating before our very eyes. The difference of course is that Biden is aging while Donald is dementing."

I'm puzzled (not really). There is all this sturm und drang about Harris changing positions. Will someone, anyone ask Trump why he was a democrat and now is a republican, I mean fascist? Why he donated to Harris's campaign and now thinks she's (fill in the blank)? Why he can't make up his mind about abortion?
