    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Trump will be holding a rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. I wonder if his choice of venue was an intentional symbolic nod to the rally held there in 1939. No doubt much of the rhetoric will be creepily similar. The 1939 rally was documented in this short film....

    True to form Trump is even ripping off the places where he holds his rallies leaving a trail of unpaid invoices stretching back as far as his 2016 campaign..... https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2024/10/21/trump-us-rallies-leave-behind-unpaid-dues-again-and-again

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    Because he's no longer beholden to Trump. He's no longer courting Trump's favour. So he no longer needs to flatter Trump or try to appeal to his narcissism. He "plays the game" only when he has to. Apart from his deluded fan base do you honestly believe that everyone who says how great he is...

    That "praise" was all part of the "grovelling" process that Newsom states was necessary to secure Trump's help. He remained dependent on Trump's help and support all the while Trump was president so he did what he knew was necessary, which was to appeal to Trump's vanity, and obviously not to...

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    It's well known that Trump's "policies" and actions have never been based on what he believes will be good for America. His decision making has always been based on whether the people who will be affected by his decisions have shown loyalty to him,. Making him President gives him the power to...

    You ask that question as if to suggest Trump can. It's hardly one of his attributes, even less so than Harris

    Certainly not in the UK but I believe such ralliies were once quite popular in countries such as Germany. I think there was a rally held in Nuremburg in 1933 which was quite well attended and with the crowd showing MAGA levels of fervour and enthusiasm for the politician deliverng his speech.

    [Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

    In stark contrast to the humourless and threatening manner in which Trump deals with hecklers which usually involves suggestions and intimations that they deserve to have violence used against them. And knowing full well that there will be more than a few amongst his MAGA audience who would be...

    [Humour] Comics that take me back…

    I thought the artwork depicting some of the characters he met, especially in the older annuals was particularly creepy and sinister. Frail, helpless old ladies asking for his assistance would often reveal themselves to be evil witches, who once they had lured him to their remote cottages would...

    [Humour] Comics that take me back…

    If they'd reversed the roles in that picture it would have looked extremely suspect for a children's comic, and more so now given the comic's title. I wonder if the roles were consciously depicted that way to avoid any such unsavoury interpretations.
