David Waldman counts down the days until it all ends. Hopefully not everything... but hopefully most things. Meanwhile, Greg Dworkin counts how many items he can place onto the KITM story conveyor belt before his hour is up.

Sunday’s MAGANAZI rally in New York might be Donald Trump’s last big rally, wouldn’t that be nice? Other than that, there was nothing nice about it. It turns out that a lot of straight white men think it’s uniquely edgy hilarious to joke about people who aren’t them, especially with setups and punchlines at a minimum over a century old. Gags that apple head dolls Newt and Callista laughed at back in the day are somehow brand new again. The original German has now become the original Trump. If Donald had said the opening quips for instance, no one would have noticed. In fact, corporate media would not have noticed this had pesky readers not pointed it out to them. Who knew there were Puerto Ricans in the United States?

Clearly, after all that crap, the winner is Kamala Harris…  Other than the fact that I just shared about twenty links on Trump with you before a single Harris one… Little shards of attention being passed around a million different ways about Trump, good or bad, are still about Trump. Trump’s where the clicks are, the clicks are where the money is, and the money doesn’t want to upset that.

Good thing that elections aren’t won by clicks, yet. Still, Republicans have held thousands of zoom meetings to manufacture misinformation in order to dismantle democracy. If Trump gets in, he will make certain that no one is bothered by the details of what he’s up to ever again.
