Trump crawled out of his rat infested motel to go to Montana and attack Senator John Tester.

The reason he did this is because he hates Tester for keeping drunk Ronny Jackson from heading Veterans Affairs. Trump was at his pathetic hate rally calling Tester fat.

We can’t lose our majority in the Senate, so PLEASE support Senator Tester. 🙏💙

I imagine that his winning the state by 16 points or something was a factor. He needs, NEEDS to be in front of a friendly audience, even if they have the collective IQ of a mini-fridge. No new votes there. Great use of your Trump campaign donations, idiots.

I'm actually ok with that -- we don't know who he'll be replaced with on the ticket. It would be ok if JayDee got the top slot and brought someone like Cucker Tarlson to run as veep, but they might actually hit on someone people liked, as unlikely as that seems. At the rate the Blob is deteriorating, I like Harris's chances...

Just like Georgia,Trumpy spews some hate at his enemies,real or imaginary,and then flies back to the roach motel,to rage-tweet on his failing app and whine on Fox,or sometimes whine ABOUT Fox not doing enough.

What Trump does that I like to see is how he walks out of Trump Tower to a nearly empty street...and waves like he's in front of a crowd. He did the same thing at an airport looking out over an empty tarmac save for a few workers, and again waves and gave his clenched fist salute. He's either totally demented or the neediest man on the planet.

The big reason Donny went to Montana was because it’s a short trip to Jackson, Wyoming which is where he held a big fund raiser with the Jackson billionaires. It’s all about money-he doesn’t care about promoting the GOP Senatorial candidate (whatever his name is)-it’s all about Donny & his money

I hope I'm wrong about this but I'm willing to bet the Harris campaign has NO field offices in MT, which one would think could give at least something of a downballot bump. I went to phone bank on Wednesday here in MN, and was shocked to learn there's no Harris/Walz campaign office in MN, and there's not going to be. Supposedly campaign views it as a lock, and it probably is; however, Hillary only won by 40k votes here in 2016 & our local gov only came on within the last week. I said I want to talk to undecideds bc I'm enthusiastic about this ticket, and got referred to a PAC in Chicago to make calls into Wisconsin.

Especially with all the R voter suppression fuckery, it's alarming if the campaign isn't even trying anywhere other than swing states.

A lot of the red states were purple under Obama. Esp w the OTHER fuckery of the electoral college, for the party to walk off & shrug f these rubes seems...unwise.

Expand full comment

The location of offices is often highly strategic. Maybe Tester doesn't want a Harriss office in Montana because he would like to stress his independence from her. She might be an albatross around his neck in MT. I can't imagine Tester asking Harris to do a campaign event in MT.

On the other hand, MN has been reliably Democratic state, so maybe it would be a waste of money to set up an office there. I think they will open one up now that Walz is on the ticket.

Expand full comment

Another thought: if you live in a sizable town it could be that the county Democratic Party is putting on a phone banking effort, and or possibly the state Democratic Party.

Expand full comment

All of MN has high turnout, and I'm in St. Paul but it feels somewhat futile volunteering just to run up the score at home.

Trump allegedly has or is opening 8 campaign offices here - which I highly doubt - but still I fear the Ds are taking too much for granted.

We know he wears lifts in his shoes-that’s why he walks leaning forward & apparently can’t stand up straight with shoulders back like a normal person.

He didn’t want anyone to see the lifts in his shoes

Expand full comment

Is that verified?

Expand full comment

djt is definitely heavier than 239, but he might (*might*) not weigh much more than that. Muscle is much denser than fat, so 239 lb of muscle takes up far less space than 239 lb of fat. Doctors can verify this.

(And, I know this from experience: Bc of serious illness, I'm down to 105 lb; when I weighed that in college, I was about a size 6, but because I've lost so much muscle recently, I'm now a size 10. Fat definitely takes up more space.)

Bc he seems even more unhinged lately, I've started wondering why ivanka hasn't tried to step in and help. Maybe she has but has been ineffective, or maybe other people who are close to him are so invested in his winning on Nov. that they're badmouthing her to djt )so that he ignores her advice) or are keeping her at bay.

I don't imagine that she loves him -- I don't think that he, or any of his wives, or any of his children know what love is. But I would think she'd be worried about her brand -- about how negatively most people will view her, down the road, for not taking away his car keys now (metaphorically speaking).

While Trump is shitting bricks over the NYT questioning him, because they are so out of practice with fact checking that they picked the wrong story to fact check, others are actually reporting. Trump was shocked because they never do this, which is why he is throwing a hissy fit on them, which if what I hear is true about his treatment of the MSM will soon escalate to death threats on their families, including the owner Sulzberger, while Biden sits back, out of the fray watching them reap what they sowed. Meanwhile, ProPublica just did a big reveal today with their story on Project 2025. They have been leaked 14 hours of training videos from the project which they summarize with clips to illustrate points so we can see just what weird looks like.

You're right about that. It really irritates me that Biden sits back and watches D☭Иald TЯUM₽ ‘s threats and crimes go unchecked and doesn't even encourage his worthless AG, Garland to do anything about it. I wish Garland was 1/10th as proactive and aggressive as Bill Barr was with TFG....Death threats should not be tolerated and we are so sick of seeing the orange stain get away with it so much...

I sure Hope Kamala Harris shakes down that 24-7 criminal factor a lot more than Biden has, or hasn't.

Expand full comment

Garland's department has its hands full with criminal politicians and their acolytes. However, I am bothered that he is trying too hard to balance sides. Was much more effective at prosecuting Mendes, but then Mendes probably did not get millions from Egypt to defend himself like Trump did to win in 2016. Catching up is just hard with so much new crime coming to light. Bill Barr has a lot to account for too. He is the one who decided that he would not investigate Trump's illegal campaign funds from Egypt. HoweverJames, I have to beg to differ about Biden. He is letting his AG be independent, instead of what Trump plans to do to the Department of Justice. Also, he is not sitting back, he is busy. Remember we still have not freed all the hostages from Hamas. Also, if you do not know what he is busy with you should subscribe to the Substack What did Joe Biden do Today.

Katy, I hope so too, but I also feel badly for Garland because we don't walk in his shoes and so much of what goes on is confidential. Republicans never worry about seeming impartial, at this point to the extreme. They are supercilious crooks. Dems have accepted their narratives of us, and bent over backwards to be fair and democratic. However, fair means everyone getting their needs met. In many ways it would be good if there was not a huge replacement of department heads because so much time gets lost. In terms of prosecuting Trump and a lot of other Republicans there might be a reset and more gets done, or it will seem like Kamala is dangerous and vindictive in the way we feel Trump is now, to many mainstream Americans.

So, I don't know. I just don't think it is that simple.
