This is happening in America.

 

BREAKING: The Charlotte Observer, the second largest newspaper in North Carolina, is BLASTING Trump for spreading lies and conspiracy theories about the federal response to Hurricane Helene. Make sure all Americans see this and hold Trump accountable for his lies.






Never in my lifetime was I, or anyone I know, afraid to put a political sign on my front lawn for fear that the opposition would harm me.

But we are in the Era of Trump, and that is now a possibility because of him and his extreme, vicious thuggish rhetoric.

Besides his statements about US FEMA aid in response to Helene, which all governors and senators in the area, Dem and Republican, have called lies. it gets worse.

Various news organizations are reporting this weekend, that DJT, his allies and spokespeople, have moved beyond merely falsely claiming the rhetoric of the left caused ppl to want to kill the former president.

Trump and his people directly blamed progressives and said the left actually tried to kill him.

Tim Walz saying he was in a wrong place, or time, matters about as much as Trump saying he was at the towers on 9/11 or saw thousands of Muslims celebrating in New York or New Jersey after those attacks.

The flip flops of Harris are about as important as those of Vance. useful for political fodder, but not much else.

Those are the exaggerations of political campaigns. We can wish they did not happen, but people get excited and say stupid stuff. They get caught in past wrong statements and look for a way out, instead of admitting error. They get in office and learn a little more making past stances untenable.

But the latest in the truth wars from Trump are beyond that, and him simply claiming they, like his election denial, are deeply held, does not excuse him.

Trump knows what he is spewing are lies, or he is too stupid to know better.

Either way, it should, but sadly will not, disqualify him from the presidency.

Trump know that what he spews are lies, but he also knows his marks, MAGA. If you make the lie big enough and repeat it often enough, people with no critical thinking skills will believe it. That is what Trump is doing.

He's a monster.
