We are all aware that numerous former Trump appointees, staff, etc, are coming out against Trump. And you probably have read this one below, it just was released in Watergate journalist Bob Woodward’s new book.
“He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions when I talked to you about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country…a fascist to the core.”
Those are the words of former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, a Trump appointee.
It’s not clear to me how to continue to write about this man, or draw about him in ways that will say something we don’t already know. Do we need to keep bringing up what a fascist he is, and how unhinged and seemingly incompetent he is, how his speeches now are incoherent at times? How he is not a normal candidate? I know 99.9% of my subscribers know this, so why do I keep needing to write/draw about it? Do I? Part of me thinks that if I don’t keep writing/drawing about this dire situation, then I am not doing my part, not doing SOMETHING to help stop him.
So I didn’t do a drawing about that today, couldn’t think of anything new….and I really didn’t want to draw him again right now. But here are some tidbits I picked up from reading and listening this morning. My sources tend to be Morning Joe, Heather Cox Richardson, Joyce Vance, along with the NY Times and Washington Post. I get alternative news by reading what Heather retweets that are from various smaller outlets she pays attention to.
Then there’s this. Trump in Arizona yesterday:
“We are known around the world as an occupied country. But [I] will unoccupy you quickly. It’s no different than if we had lost a war. To everyone here in Arizona and accross this land, I make this pledge: November 4, 2024 will be liberation day in America.”
And this:
Apparently, the race is tied. I don’t know whether to believe that or not, but it’s a good idea to be scared and act like Harris is the underdog.
This might lift your spirits. Kamala at her best. If you don’t want to hear the introductory speeches, she begins a 51:52
Harris has agreed to an interview on Fox News, airing Wednesday night. That will be really good and interesting to watch.
Finally, a Halloween cartoon for you.
I hope you are having a good Monday. See you tomorrow!
None of us can figure out why he STILL has so many supporters. Sigh.
I do believe his bedtime reading is Mein Kempf (spelling?) A friend of mine shared his thoughts about why people are so besotted with him: He is using his accordion hand movements to hypnotize his followers. You know, with all this nonsense, lies, and disinformation. Well, that's no crazier than the things that come from his mouth. Still can't get over him dissing Detroit at a meeting of Detroit businessmen. Oh, on another, more positive note: I love the leaves. They are free, don't have to worry about what color they are, and don't have to fear their reproductive rights will be taken away.
