The election is in three weeks, and Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Trump and Kamala Harris, but during a rally last night in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia, Trump got bored with the event, billed as a “town hall,” and just played music for almost 40 minutes, scowling, smirking, and swaying onstage. Trump is no stranger to surreal moments, yet this was one of the oddest of his political career.

This kind of behavior would have resulted in discussion of dementia and Alzheimers if it was a Democrat.

It did, and rightfully so. Biden showed clear evidence of cognitive decline for the past three years.

I hate it, but it's a fact of life that people who vote for either of the two major parties only care about team color anymore. Even a functioning brain isn't a requirement to collect their vote.

I mean, the fascist wing of the conservatives like that rhe bar is so low.

Hell, for decades, both parties loved the fact that the average voter is ill informed and treats it more like team sports... Remember how pompous and prideful the Hillary crowd was in 2016? Yea... the core parties are both slimeballs when it comes to beating the team sports drum.

Though to be fair, only one party is so utterly stupid and bereft of actual morals that they now have an openly fascist wing to deal with, sooooo...
