Donald Trump has spent the majority of his campaign insulting our country and now he's officially called America a “garbage can.” I react to Trump's latest shots at America, and break down what we should expect in the final 10 days of the election:The Warning with Steve Schmidt is a reader-supported publication.
"Donald Trump has spent the majority of his campaign insulting our country and now he's officially called America a “garbage can.”
Moments ago, I heard on my local NPR affiliate that Mitch McConnel and Mike Johnson issued a joint statement that Kamala Harris needs to turn down the rhetoric. Does The Onion have a mock newscast now on NPR? Was their source Andy Borowitz? Is there an English word for this level of brass b%^&s hypocrisy? I know they think their constituents are idiots, but still...Truly, WTF?
Kamera Harris doe not need to turn down the rhetoric by any stretch when you have that other person threatening good people like Adam Schiff being threatened by Trump of being thrown in prison should “Goldilocks” win! He’s out there threatening all sorts of good people just like the Dictator he plans to be and still thousands of Americans citizens will vote for him! It’s horrifying that Americans would not be upset by a want to be Hitler and this doesn’t faze them? He’s got in his mind to arrest thousands of Americans because they don’t agree with him! That’s a Dictator for you! It’s shameful that so many Americans listen to right wing media and never question any of it! Just like the German people back in the 1930’s ! However there is a big difference, Fox isn’t the only channel, they have freedom to watch or listen to other media whereas the Germans did not if the Germans got caught they could be shot. Could that happen here? Who knows if Trump takes over with his lackier? Trump has dementia which makes the situation even more precarious he’s apt to do anything! But threatening to lock up politicians who don’t agree with his tactics is terrifying!
NPR has been moderately disappointing throughout. Not as bad as most, but still. Yesterday, there hourly newscast contained 15 seconds of TFG's comments from one of his rallies and then said, "Harris also had a rally". The continuous normalization and amplification of this guy in most of the media just makes this seem okay and not a real threat.
The irony about McConnell, and I mentioned this the other day, is that he had the power to end all of this in the second impeachment process, yet even though he said TFG was to blame for the actions of January 6th, he refused to vote guilty, providing justification for most nearly all Rs in the Senate to do the same. All of this would have been moot had he done the right thing. The other concern I have with their "tone down the rhetoric" is that the implication is that the people who worked with TFG up close every day and now call him a fascist isn't the problem, TFG quoting Hitler isn't the problem, TFG wanting to turn the US military on American citizens behaving in a lawful manner isn't the problem. However, saying these things like Harris is now doing IS the problem??? So, WTF indeed, Gar.
just canceled my Wapo subscription for their failure to meet the moment. I’ll pay other journalists like Steve who speak clearly about the threat at hand.
First Bezos got into the weeds with Trump and now he just plunged deep into the German fascist forest and Amazon jungle of fear, acquiescing in advance.
That he would say we are a garbage can for the world is infuriating . Once he gets rid of all the people that aren't citizens who is going to do all the jobs Americans don't want to do.? The real enemy within is Trump ,Musk, McConnell and of course a slew of others.. It is beyond frightening .. Mitch blocked Obama's rightful place to pick a a justice and then refused to convict Trump for January 6th ... Musk may be the most frightening because he is the richest man in the world with his hands on so many important parts of our national security . Trump is a filthy dangerous person. All of his supporters make me feel so angry .. It is willful stupidity on there part and we might all have to pay for that . If we do I hope they pay too!
The strong stench of garbage in this country is coming from Donald Trump and the sycophants who sanitize the horrrible, divisive and hateful lies that spew from his foul mouth.
If we are to survive as the country we know, he and those in political office who support him must meet with overwhelming defeat in November fifth.
Well, there goes Trump again. Popping out of the "garbage can" as Donald the Grouch demeaning and debasing the country that he wants to hijack and ruin again.
Trump's the only one I've ever heard running for President trashing out Democracy...constantly.
Recently, I heard that the lieutenant governor of North Carolina (who is now running for governor) believed that women should not be allowed to vote, i.e., the 19th Amendment to the Constitution should be repealed. That's the Amendment ratified in 1920 that gave women the right to vote. At first I thought this was a strange position for an individual to take. Now I found that one of the Christian Nationalist movements has members who also advocate taking this right away from women. My source is the November + December 2024 issue of Mother Jones. The article, "Bully Pulpit" was written by Kiera Butler.
Yes, Mark Robinson said that the country was better off when women could not vote. He was elected Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina after he made this statement. There is a subset in American society that believes only men should vote.
Some of this awful view gets mainstream support. Marsha Blackburn, US Senator from Tennessee, is on record saying that women do not want equal pay in the workplace. The idea behind this thinking is that disparate income levels would force women out of the workplace in order to keep them at home raising children.
Powerful and moving, Steve. It encapsulates all that is wrong with T💩p, in collusion with the media, that lead us to this fell condition.
It is perilous indeed that we face the dismantling of our democracy from such a venal and empty man. I realize that there are forces more morbidly venal behind it all, including McConnell, Johnson, Musk(rat), Thiel, et. al..
If America is a garbage can then Trump should jump in so we can dump him in the ocean and leave him to the sharks like himself….but does Jaws have a bigger and fouler mouth than he does? Just wondering….
Frankly, if we win this thing, it will just be the start. I have read several articles about these election nut jobs that will come out of the wood work on Chump’s behalf to sow violence and confusion. I saw pictures of several of them. I mean, seriously, it reminded of my internship long ago at a now closed psychiatric hospital. To say that the crazed are empowered is an understatement.
Job #1 after Nov 5 is to win the court battles. Job #2 after Jan 21, '25 is to use four years to change laws, guardrails, and term limits in order to protect our democracy from a repeat of this hideous condition we find ourselves in!
An uphill battle, but the Electoral College must go. One person, one vote. This reliance on a voting method conceived during slavery because slaves counted as 3/5 a person is another reason for our deep trouble as a society.
I canceled my Washington Post subscription today. Frankly, the Washington Post is a lousy newspaper with lousy columnists. The owner is a chickenshit. I was watching a Lewis Black rant about undecided voters. A batch of them were interviewed. They spoke in mostly unintelligible sentences. I mean, seriously, these were people, mostly young people, who did not show any sign of thinking or reasoning. We’ve become a society of vacant bots, some of whom vote if they can actually make a decision.
Why is Biden silent and allows Trump to lie and threaten and demonize the poor migrants and calling Jan.6 a love fest. Trump sounds more like Hitler every day and his followers believe his dangerous rhetoric . The longer this hate fest goes on the more dangerous Trump's militia's will be. We are looking at "Cristal night" Trump has promised to let these thugs attack anybody they perceive as "illegals", it will be a blood bath. I am scared because there will be nobody to protect minorities.
This just more Deceit and lies the Corrupt MAGA Nutjobs have been spewing for the past year. VOTE BLUE and Send Criminal, Traitor Trump to Prison 2024!

As our friend here, John D, has mentioned a number of times, November 5th is garbage day and we need to take TFG, Vance, and MAGA to the curb.
Love that concept!

Pot calls Kettle black. And some people are STILL "Undecided?" smh

Excellent video, Steve! Thank you for working 24/7 to educate & to WARN the citizens of the USA!

Vote … or perish.

Nah…let’s stuff him in then throw him in. Don’t forget to start with his Veep candidate at the bottom. Then we have a Two-fer.
