Francisco 2.0

Who the hell in the RNC was going to do that? Shit, the RNC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trump family business now.

We really need someone to bump that $225 up to $1500 or more and claim Soros or Gates is funding it. Seems way too low.

I'm guessing the belief is that it is impossible for a Democrat to win any race, so when one happens to, it's either because A) they are from some liberal hellhole or B) the Democratic party is just that organized, ruthless, etc. It can't be because the GOP puts up some truly horrendous candidates people in some races. Self reflection really isn't a strong point with the right these days.

But I was told she's using the same script daily. By now, it ought to be memorized.

Who knows why some tweets have images that are cutoff:

30 years from now, there will be folks in their mid-60's wearing their maga shit with pride.

Gee, imagine that https://www.mediaite.com/online/its-now-impossible-to-search-old-trump-tweets-on-x/ Oddly, searching with the search window using “from:realdonaldtrump” and then looking for words like “stock,” “stocks,” or “stock market” brings back a chronologically-out-of-order selection of old Trump tweets that do not contain those search terms.

The replies to this tweet are glorious.

Yeah, but the rubes don't know the difference, and they can claim the Dems are working with Iran to hack Trump. And it will work.

I don't believe anyone here is not concerned. We've all experienced everything since 2016.

Seems legit. So I'll roll with it. And here's the wall of text: My BIG TAKEAWAY from Trump's absurd press conference is that he is finally undergoing something called NARCISSISTIC MORTIFICATION. We dusted off this Freudian term back in April during his criminal trial, and it's extra-relevant today. Narcissistic Mortification is when a narcissist like Trump crosses over to a place where he sees visions of his own demise. A malignant narcissist who once held the loftiest of titles, cannot cope with this. Trump's fears have become "dread." He is very unhinged, yet uncomfortable in the feeling itself, because he knows he's partly responsible. Reality is being forced upon him, that's not of his making. He can't have that! To put it in more psychological terms, narcissistic mortification is EXTREME fear experienced when one with a rigidly grandiose pathology sees his sense of self as exposed, defective or inferior. It was coined by Freud in his book Moses and Monotheism. It's described there as deep injuries to ego/self, triggered by one's own compulsiveness (unforced errors -- like suggesting Putin would only release prisoners to him which set him up for embarrassment, or choosing Vance as his running mate against his better judgment, which drives him crazy daily, or repeatedly attacking the popular Georgia Governor Kemp against his own interests, because he can't control himself). THIS is where I think he is. He's become his own worst enemy, and this conflicts with his pathology of being unable to admit fault. It's a very severe and very dissonant conflict. Malignant narcissists need their grandiosity. For them to become exposed and weakened, is narcissistic injury - that happens. BUT - for them to become weakened to the extent of being able to visualize their own demise and know it's partly due to their own frailties - frailties they spend a lifetime avoiding and denying - this is irreconcilable. For a malignant narcissist like Trump, it's hell. Bringing it back to the press conference, it causes him to become even more sensitized ("that was a stupid question"), to become more easily triggered (especially about "crowd size" - the symbol of his fading grandiosity - which he rambled about excessively), to use even more projection ("America" is failing, "America" is in danger means HE is failing and HE is in danger), and it has made him physically haggard (he looked gaunt and hunched over, with stiffness in his facial muscles), and finally - got disoriented (the Willie Brown/Jerry Brown helicopter story being the most pronounced example from yesterday). Look for him to be carefully coddled by aides. They may not know the psychological terminology, but they know he's slipping away. Narcissistic mortification is a precursor to narcissistic collapse. Like I mentioned few months ago when I first tweeted about narcissistic mortification, there actually IS a wiki page for it (and yes, I was utterly shocked there WAS a wiki page for it) and here's an interesting sentence from it, that I thought I'd echo here: Narcissistic Mortification is "the primitive terror of self-dissolution, triggered by the sudden exposure of one's sense of a defective self ... it is death by embarrassment."

RE: Internal polling? From the NYT article that was shared by Cactusflinthead:

It's 141 miles between Bozeman and Billings. Assuming the tweet earlier about unpaid fuel bills is a legit reason for the diversion, it did land over 3 hours ago. Getting vehicles ready, etc could take another hour or so. Trump should have been there by now. I'm guessing he's pouting and just doesn't want to go on at all now. EDIT: but by God, he's there. Looking fresh as a (wilted) daisy.

That's cute. These same fuckers have never seen Trump have message discipline. And all of a sudden, it's a frustration?

Cities are scary, yet the leader of the cult chooses to live in the {checks notes} 12th largest metro area in the US, and previously lived in the largest.
