Let’s see … hackers with an AOL account … publicly available info … pie-in-the-sky, evidence-free finger pointing … and a comic book villain. For such a well-oiled machine the Don Snorleone campaign could do with some Scooby Doo rerun binging. Even the Scooby gang is more astute — and believable — than this clown show.

As soon as Roger Stone was mentioned, it all became Keystone Cops for me. (Cue Mad Music)

Roger Stone is definitely the loose cannon who would come up with the crazy idea of leaking this. He's also old enough to be very familiar with AOL.

Means. Motive. Opportunity. Roger -> Robert????

If Roger did it, it will be uncovered, and it will be a deficit for the Trump campaign. BTW, it will be fun to see trump disown Roger Stone!

If the FBI should find out that Roger Stone was in on this, we would not know before the election because they won’t interfere with Donny’s campaign but they did interfere with Hillary’s campaign like in 2016. If there’s any way they can throw something out there in September or October about Kamala that could be used to make a mountain out of a molehill, then they’ll do it. Chris Wray is a Republican you know

Probably not Roger, although it's just like something he would do. It IS an AOL personal account, so it is almost certainly decades old.

From Cassidy's book, Donald's White House was a daily sitcom. Imagine if he gets back in the Oval with Roger and Manafort and Lara and Eric and Marge and Gym and the rest of the MAGA-Trump World idiots! He can invite Elon over for more live stream events like this. And host Tucker for lunch with ketchup fights! Fitting behavior for the Leader of the Free World.

Hopefully he will be inside a jail cell or exiled in Venezuela!

How does he think Maduro would take him? His only choice is Moscow, and that's iffy since Putin would know he'd have no relationship at all with the US whatsoever if he did that.

Oh, I would love to see him believe that Putin wants him there, and actually get on the helicopter they send

I'm cracking up with "two narcissists jerking each other off." Greased palms in more ways than one. 🤣 Roger Buttplug Stone is a freak of nature. He always reminds me of the Penguin on the old Batman series.

Is someone trying to tell us that the tRump campaign has secrets with Mr Manic Motormouth going 24/7?

I am grateful that ProPublica, the only media source mentioned here that seems to try to work for We the People, and not just clicks and likes, as if they are all stuck in jr. high girlhood, released an article on the leaked training tapes from Project 2025 with a summary, clips to illustrate their points, and then a link to all 14 hours at the end. That is how you do journalism. https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-project-2025-secret-training-videos-trump-election

Now I would love to hear what former Spy, Jeff Stein of Spy Talk has to say about the other leaked materials. He has contacts, and if he says word is this comes from Iran I take it. However, it would be interesting for Iran to hack and leak the material. It could just as easily be Israel wanting to start something bigger with Iran and get the USA to join them as part of an election interference revenge. Of course, that is more likely to happen under a Trump presidency than a Biden one. Speaking of Trump, he and Musk are classic examples of toxic masculinity. It would be great if high school teachers and profs started having their students analyzing them this year and their behavior in social studies, media studies, feminism, econ civics, gender studies (can we say prime examples of toxic masculinity), journalism, Human resources, etc... You don't want us examining the history that includes Black people, or gay people, well, let us just look at the behavior of toxic masculinity, and see which members of the Republican party don't fit that type. Because after teaching for over 30 years, I know their type too, and I can picture them as third, fourth and fifth graders as well as in middle school and high school. Throw in JD Vance and we are reminded of the infamous saying of fraternities at Yale, "no means yes and yes means anal." Although for him we can trade out "anal" for "couch." These men are sickening and Jessie Ventura put it well when he said, "It is time for a woman president." I think Trump and Musk did a perfect job of showing us why, and now the Harris/Walz campaign can just amplify it.

My hand first went up at AOL. AOL?

And ‘Robert’! If that doesn’t scream “Iran”, I don’t know what does. 🤣🤣🤣

ROBERT IS his younger brother, who now inhabits a realm of iniquity; he has decided to be of service to his big bro, because Roy Cohn and Ivana said " fuck no."

Roy is still pissed bcz donny convict kicked him onto the "A" train tracks and Ivana ; well, she's fuming cause he buried her on the golf course with a heap of papers and no Tombstone.

In the same closet. Though you can still find peripherals to play them.

Wasn't that back when we had " floppy disks"?

If it really happened, that would be one way to narrow down the hacker in a hurry.

My 87-year-old spouse loves the sound of You’ve Got Mail, I guess. He also loves to explain to younger people how useful it is to have your phone with you in case your car breaks down. Part of the Set in Our Ways crowd.

My 82-year-old spouse, who as philosophy professor taught science and technology courses, struggles and curses at his iPhone and his Apple Watch, but manages to toggle among three gigantic computer screens, produces on-line articles, and ‘speaks’ almost daily with colleagues around the world. And uses his iPad to flip through his sheet music to play on his Roland keyboard. I’m 75 and taught in a laptop school, paperless classes, and cut in videos and communicated with other classes via our computer setup. We old folks are not troglodytes, but the learning curve was steep. My first IBM was dual-disk drive and I needed to learn basic commands. Then learned to add memory to my Gateway, and used telnet dial-up. My granddaughter has more facility than I do, she was born to it. I do all my political work from my kitchen counter, including using an avatar to get into the scariest places on the internet. Steep, steep learning curve that took lots of time to learn, including multiple platforms. I’m glad I can do it, but there will come a time when I’ll just stop.

My 87-year-old spouse has a Ph.D. in physics. He has resisted adopting new tech for a couple of decades now. Gets me to do stuff for him on my iPad. I think he was afraid he couldn’t learn it as fast as he used to learn things. Or as fast as I do, being ten years younger and female.

I just this minute had to explain to my husband that if you have “do not disturb’ set on your phone, Siri can’t remind you of the directions you just gave her.

When I need to defend myself from not quickly adopting the newest tech, I point out that when I started out, the screen on the computer monitor was black, the letters on it were orange, and the computer paper came in a long sheet with sprocket holes.

And I still have a box of that paper. It makes wonderful banners that the grandkids can make and hang about the house. Much better use that I made of it with a dissertation.

My mom had dementia. She did not have dentures. The way Trump sounded on this “interview” is exactly how my mom sounded the further her condition took over.

Expand full comment

Yep, I've heard that very lisp and slurring from people on pain medication and alcohol. Both depress the nervous system so that it's difficult to talk, plus making it impossible to keep a coherent train of thought. Both of those have been present to varying degrees in his public speaking lately. It's also quite possibly dementia or maybe mini-strokes. I'm not as familiar with those, but I have been around people with those too. To sum up, there are several possible reasons for the symptoms he's increasingly displaying, none of them consistent with administering the power of the office he's seeking.

Expand full comment

Just look at his family history. Both parents with dementia. Dad with Alzheimer’s and mom , according to Wiki, died of osteoporosis. But one doesn’t die of osteoporosis. That’s a shitty bone disease but she did have a form of dementia. The felon is a genetic sitting duck for a dementia of some flavor. His diet and lifestyle also haven’t helped him any.

Considering his known personality disorders and the fact he lies as part of creating his own reality-how much further before one can call out, TIMBER!

I'm sorry about your mom, Neil. Same with my mother. Her doctor said their brains forget how to move their tongue to make certain sounds. Thankfully, she had a stroke before it got worse. I've been waiting for Trump to lisp, but I didn't think it would start this soon.

One strange thing: I've listened over and over to the clips and I can't hear the lisp. I wonder if there is something on the speakers I use with my computer that corrects the sound?

He probably doesn’t have dentures-you can usually tell when someone is wearing dentures. He probably has implants

The excuse du jour is that bad equipment made Diaper Don sound lispy. No. I worked in TV post-production sound for 25 years. Better equipment would have only heightened lisping, slurring, or any kind of mouth noise.

Expand full comment

For fuck’s sake he can’t even lisp honestly

Expand full comment

He can't do a damn thing honestly. Lispy and the Couch Humper which perhaps could be the name of a fascist prison band, continue to take their campaign shitshow to a level we've never seen and hopefully will never see again. Couldn't stand to watch last night's bogus interview but the lowlights that were spelled out this morning by Jeff and others pretty much tells us it was the lispy lying version of the same old shit, different day.

I was a dental assistant for 15 years, working for a doctor who made prosthetics like dentures. That lisp and slur is his dentures. The thing that happens at rallies where he starts a word and can't say the rest of it is when his dentures cause his mouth to dry out and his tongue sticks to his dentures. Why a man who has access and money to implants doesn't get them is wierd.

I guessed dentures but my expertise is sound recording not teeth. I was waiting for someone with dental bona fides to weigh in. Also: Dentures!? He could have kept that a secret from the rest of us non-dental professionals. Nothing like an old-school set of false choppers to project an aura of youth.

Not his real teeth? I am shocked! He has teeth like nobody has ever seen. Soooo white.

I read beauty advice that it looks Weird if your teeth are significantly whiter than the whites of your eyes.

Expand full comment

Almost every denture the doctor did the patients wanted the A1 color, which referred to as the George Hamilton. It is the purest white you can imagine. The doctor would try to persuade them in to a kinder, gentler shading. Every single time we delivered A1 dentures, the patient was shocked at how much older the bright white made them look. Trust the professionals.

Dawn I saw a very old woman with the purest white teeth and she looked like a cartoon. Terrible look! I can understand that people want nice teeth but it would be great to give them a slide show with various options on their own photo!

That( dentures) and his brain rotting out. He has been slurring for awhile now. His top 10, 20 gaffs that have been collected have shown plenty of examples. But it ain't getting better! Probably the more he stresses the worse it gets. Oh,I hope he is miserable watching Harris-Walz get bigger crowds and more excitement and he can sit in a steaming diaper and slur and lisp his way to an attendant.

He so deserves it.
