"Something Is Clearly Wrong As Trump Struggles On Fox To Form A Coherent Thought"

Tuesday, Sept 2, 2020
Jason Easley

During an interview on Fox News, Trump claimed that Joe Biden is being controlled by people in the streets wearing black uniforms on planes.

Trump said, “I don’t like to mention Biden because he’s not controlling anything. They control him….People that you’ve never heard of. People who are in the dark shadows…..People that you’ve never heard of. They’re people that are on the streets. They’re people that are controlling the streets. We had somebody get on a plane in a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, gear, and this and that. They’re on a plane.”

When he was asked where this was, Trump answered, “I’ll tell you sometime, but it’s under investigation right now.”

6. This is the madness that Andrea Mitchell alluded to that Biden needed to address

Huh? Why?

This is nonsense. She pissed me off today when she said that. How do you even begin to address this? See this is how we ended up in this predicament. Media treating Trump as if he was a serious politician. When he started his bullshit birther lie, he should have been ignored. Sure the Fox News folks ate it up. Mainstream media should have left it in the dungeons of Fox. They gave that nonsense life and here we are. Now Today, Andrea Mitchell, proclaims that Joe Biden should address men in black that support him. WTH?

the thugs on the plane was started by Franklin Graham on Friday(?), I think. Just another conspiracy theory dreamed up by prep-school white boys all grown up.

or some other right wing conspiracist who has his ear. Totally nuts but in his addled, semi-coherent brain, it finds a place to stick—he apparently believes that crap.

I say "apparently instead of obviously" because of something I've noticed he does now quite often. When he doesn't want to talk about something or be questioned about it, he says it's "under investigation" to squash questioning on a subject.

in real time. Car keys are taken away for less. Bunker Boy has the nuclear codes. I pray several times a day for God to keep this country safe.

... into the election. Pence taking the lead on the ticket may very well pull Repukes back into the fold.

It would be satisfying but a bad thing.

Maybe Biden should give half of his campaign cash to Trump with the requirement that it all be spent on unscripted air time. Trump couldn't turn that down, and every time he opens his mouth he has to be losing votes.
