Am I the only one who finds it interesting that there appears to be a double standard at play in the United States when it comes to Donald Trump? If you watch the news coverage and do a side-by-side comparison between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the differences are glaringly obvious. Imagine if you had ex-staffers of Biden coming out and saying he loves dictators, wishes his generals were more loyal, called dead and captured soldiers suckers and losers, etc then you'd have just about everyone calling for him to be removed from office.

Yet when you see report after report from former staffers of Trump, such as former chiefs of staff and other high ranking administration officials who were members of his inner circle, saying he said these things, you'll notice that the commentary from much of the media (especially the conservative media like Fox News) will attack the messenger, despite the messengers being numerous in their numbers and generally with solid integrity.

Today, we see former White House Chief of Staff General John Kelly being roundly attacked by the conservative media and by Trump himself, calling him a lowlife and a degenerate all because he has claimed that Trump repeatedly complained that American generals were not loyal enough to him like German generals were to Adolf Hitler. It worries me that rather than these news organisations seek to confirm whether the allegations are true, they simply attack the messenger in complete deference to Trump. I don't know about anyone else, but that scares me, as does the things his former staffers - almost all of whom have either refused to endorse Trump and/or have endorsed Harris.

What do you think?

Nobody needs to say that about Genocide Joe Biden because it is obvious.

Losing two wars.

Committing genocide.

Financing crimes of occupation.

Genocide Joe Biden has often proclaimed himself a Zionist which is inconsistent with his position as ana elected representative of the USA and his role as POTUS.

Where? Genocide Joe Biden has often proclaimed himself a Zionist which is inconsistent with his position as ana elected representative of the USA and his role as POTUS. No, he hasn't.

Genocide Joe Biden surrendered to the US public which wanted him out.

Kamala Harris is a human sacrifice.

There is a genuine double standard.

Trump has been turning down interviews, refused to face Harris in another debate, appeared to fall asleep at a rally event, is constantly swearing, wandered around on stage appearing to not know where to go, danced around to music for like 40 minutes because his brain appeared to skip and has zero detail when it comes to his policies.

All of those things would be toxic to Biden, Harris, practically any non-MAGA and to a lesser extent, non-Republican candidate.

But for Trump, it doesn't even make it to the headlines.

The "left" won't attack him because of his age and because they defended Biden and his friendly media outlets have been protecting him for years.

So, you're asked to justify your claims and you instead personally attack the person asking?

While calling them full of hate?

I guess you'd know - your hero Trump is overflowing with it.

Double standards alright.

The Democrats and their court eunuchs in the American media have gone all-Hitler-all-the-time because they've figured out Kamala's campaign is such a stinker that it may be slipping beyond the capability of Maricopa County, Fulton County et al to work their usual magic in the small hours of Wednesday morning.

So all the Dems' old favourites are back and working overtime:

I'm excited to tell you that the intelligence community's latest "Russia collusion!" operation has dropped at the Wall Street Journal :

The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
Elon Musk has secretly been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since late 2022 https://on.wsj.com/48jWPuO https://on.wsj.com/48jWPuO
3:40 AM · Oct 25, 2024

So it's not just Trump. Elon Musk is also Hitler - at least in respect of his Hitler-Stalin Pact phase. It's like a Hitler Apocalypse out there! Moreover, you heard of this North Carolina place where people from North Carolina are going around peddling disinformation about North Carolina being all devastated? Turns out that's the Russkies too! From the Associated Press:

Russia amplified hurricane disinformation to drive Americans apart, researchers find

Do you really need the Russians to "drive Americans apart"? Is that yet another of those jobs Americans won't do? Like running apartment houses in Aurora, Colorado?

Ah, but "researchers" have "found" it - so it's peer-reviewed science, so you can take it to the bank! Where did the researchers find it? Somewhere called the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, which sounds like Best Runner-Up in a Name That Deep-State Front Organisation competition:

Russian propaganda exploits US hurricane response to undermine FEMA and Ukraine support

So western North Carolina is a ninety-minute-flight from Washington, which makes it totally inaccessible to FEMA, but the Kremlin can get there in nothing flat and seize control of the narrative?

And there's still a week and a half to go, folks, so no telling how nutso the headlines will be in another forty-eight hours.

Still, with all these people "driving Americans apart", it's good to have a candidate who wants to bring the nation together:

Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris
Donald Trump is out for unchecked power. He wants a military like Adolf Hitler had, who will be loyal to him, not our Constitution.

He is unhinged, unstable, and given a second term, there would be no one to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses.
https://x.com/KamalaHarris/status/1849147561027707058

After eight years, it should hardly be necessary to state that Trump - like the Brexit vote, like Le Pen, Wilders, Meloni and the other Continental populists - is a symptom not the cause. Across the western world, hundreds of millions of people keep trying to catch the eye of their rulers and suggest that, without wishing to be impolite, they'd like a bit more of a choice than what the Uniparty's offering. Why? Because, unless you're in on the grift like Biden and McConnell, everything's bollocksed

Dear Fruitbat,

Do you think, just on the off-chance, that it's the fascists dividing the USA and that Trump is perpetually throwing greased up fast food wrappers on the fire?

And when is say "fascist", i refer to Donald Trump and his cult.

Who else is talking about mass internment?

Who else is talking about setting the military on political foes?

Who else has claimed that voting for them would be the last ever vote they ever need cast?

Love, Frightbat.

MAGA is literally the dictionary definition of fascism.

Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.

Claiming that Trump isn't a fascist is like claiming he's not a sexual predator or criminal.

Donald J. Trump is a rapist, convicted felon and fascist - these are indisputable facts.

And now he can't even remember who's sitting right next to him, even though he's worked with that person for the last 13 years.

https://youtu.be/FXRFXBvDvrY

Hilarious that Trump mentioned preferring Hitler's generals to his own.

I guess he hasn't heard of Field Marshal, generals and colonels Rommel, Olbricht, von Tresckow, and von Stauffenberg.

And nevermind the deliberate loose talk of the German High Command towards the end of the war to aid the Western Allies in their advances towards Berlin.

And Himmler and Goring, who betrayed Hitler to try to secure a deal with the Allies in return for sparing their lives.

Vice Presidential Candidate JD Vance responded to Mark Cuban’s statement on The View that Donald Trump is never around “strong, intelligent women.”

"Well, first ​of ​all, ​it’s ​insulting ​my ​wife, ​who’s ​a ​very ​strong ​and ​very ​intelligent ​woman ​and ​goes ​to ​nearly ​every ​one ​of ​my ​campaign ​events ​with ​me. ​And ​it’s ​insulting ​to Lara Trump, ​who’s ​done ​an ​incredible ​job ​as ​co ​chair ​of ​the ​RNC. ​It’s ​insulting ​to Melania [Trump], ​who ​has ​the ​number ​one ​New York Times ​best ​selling ​book ​right ​now.

Its insulting to everybody who thinks that our politics should be about public policy that makes peoples’ lives better instead of attacking your fellow citizens.

Whether it’s Mark Cuban or Kamala Harris or Joe Biden, why are these people so preoccupied with denigrating and insulting and condescending their fellow citizens? If you are pissed off that Kamala Harris opened the border, you have every right. If you’re frustrated that Kamala Harris’s policies have made it impossible for you to afford the price of a home, you have every right.

Why are they so preoccupied with censoring, silencing, and attacking their fellow citizens? I’ve never seen anything like it."

Yes, but that's a bit mean, Mother. You're not supposed to call them fascists.

You're meant to say oh, I know, and how unfair and there there, we hear you.

Remember, no one has the right to not be offended.
