Tacky Racist Unsurprisingly Misleads People
This year, "Gangs from Venezuela" is playing the role that previous stars "MS-13", "Reconquista", "Caravan", "Calves like cantaloupes" and "Sanctuary Cities" have played so memorably in the past.
This is how you do it

***MEDIA ADVISORY***TODAY: Donald Trump To Ramble Incoherently and Spread Dangerous Lies in Public, but at Different Home
TODAY at 4:3o p.m., Donald J. Trump, loser of the 2020 election by 7 million votes, will hold another public meltdown in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Date and Time
Thursday, August 15, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. EDT.Venue
Not a battleground statePreview
Not so fresh off NABJ, Florida, and Twitter glitches, Donald Trump intends to deliver another self-obsessed rant full of his own personal grievances to distract from his toxic Project 2025 agenda, unpopular running mate, and increasing detachment from the reality of the voters who will decide this election.These remarks will not be artificial intelligence, but they certainly will lack intelligence.
Banning abortion, raising costs on families, confusing basic facts, cutting Social Security and Medicare, blocking border security, and being publicly unstable, unfit, and unwell will not help his struggling campaign for president.
Tune in for the same old thing.

In cash. To your door. In a brown paper bag.
Wow
I did not think Biden would actually step down. I thought he'd dig his heels in and then deliver a landslide loss in November.
This is quite the election.
Many People Are Saying
“And if you’re not paying attention,” Huckabee continued, “you may not realize that Joe Biden is using exactly those tactics to make sure that Donald Trump is not his opponent in 2024. Here’s the problem: if these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning, or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets.”
“The next stage is violence,” Carlson said. “Are you worried they’re going to try to kill you? Why wouldn’t they try to kill you?”
Trump did not directly answer. Carlson tried again later. “If you chart it out it’s an escalation,” Carlson said, recounting the two impeachments and four indictments against Trump. “So what’s next? They’re trying to put you in prison for the rest of your life
, that’s not working. So don’t they have to kill you now?” Trump again avoided answering directly.
At the conclusion of the 46-minute interview, Carlson returned to the subject of potential violence. “Do you think we’re moving toward civil war?” he said. “Do you think it’s possible that there’s open conflict?”
“I don’t know,” Trump said.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) predicted "bloodshed" from the MAGA movement if Donald Trump is convicted of crimes and not permitted on state ballots. ... "But when you start telling people that they can't express their participation in this American experience through a vote, then they start looking for other ways, and they're not, the vote is the best way to do it," he continued. "The other ways are not so good. And I worry if they start to take the vote away, you could see bloodshed in this country. Like none of us want."
Total coincidence, I'm sure.

Illusion of Rising Action
"OMG Trump is in new legal jeopardy!" Repeat every two months for six years.
It's clear that Trump's narrative arc doesn't follow the standard story form of exposition, rising action, climax, denouement.
But, I'm starting to think his arc is more like a Shepard Tone:
Always rising, somehow. Yet never reaching a satisfying climax. And never really resolving.
Which is why it's so very very annoying.
