@GottaLaff
You need to understand what actually happened here.

For decades this weekend in Wildwood has hosted an antique car show. The town is packed to the gills with old white people (Trump's main audience).

Next to nobody (maybe a few hundred people, maybe) went to Wildwood to see/hear Trump, they were there already so the campaign threw this together to take advantage of it.

@GottaLaff "He also referred to the "late, great Hannibal Lecter," calling the fictional serial killer character "a wonderful man."

@LockEx @GottaLaff

People have speculated that this sort of weird out of context reference to Lecter and "Silence of the Lambs" was veiled threatening mob speak directed at witnesses and potential witnesses in his criminal trials.

Extremely veiled, then: who would get that meaning from it?

@mastodonmigration @LockEx @GottaLaff

is there a video clip?

i'd like to hear how slurred/sedated or how manic he is when he delivers this line

honestly just reading it cold on the page, it comes across as dementia

some (not all but definitely some) with dementia can be very angry & unpleasant

@GottaLaff He talks like a thug. I just don’t get it. He sounds like a criminal. He sounds unhinged. I wouldn’t be able to tolerate one minute of his dribble.

@GottaLaff Could you please put a CW on those US politics posts?

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Arcaik No, I don't do that, sorry. Just mute me.

I mean -- it's what she DOES. Just don't follow her if you don't want to see it.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@darwinwoodka @Arcaik doesn't follow me. That's why I don't understand the request.

Either use a filter, mute me, block me.

But Arcaik, thanks for your civility and politeness.

@GottaLaff Don't diss the Boss in your NJ speech. Nor unions. Nor talk about Hannibal Lector as if he was a real person.

Or be so boring and long winded that you most ardent fans can't take it.

@GottaLaff No no, they were just looking for the toilet while he was in the most boring part of the speech, and got distracted afterwards

Yesterday I said the question for R's was

> How much more of your LIFE
do you want to WASTE
on this LOSER?

Looks like the answer is "not much more".

shyduroff ,

@GottaLaff … well then there’s a script for dems to play with in their spare cycles when trump comes to town: simply bite the appropriate part of our brains and go sit for a few mins up-front (no real attention needs to be paid) and on-cue, or maybe better, a dead-quiet prison-march out of the venue … tho booing a +++ … just suggesting …

@GottaLaff oh wow, seeing like this he looks even more like a blithering idiot.

How do people listen to him is is one of the great mystery of our times.

@GottaLaff 90 minutes of TFG on the beach? Cue the music, th Kinks playing “We gotta get out of this place, girl, If it’s the last thing we ever do’”🍸🙀🍸😹

@GottaLaff He mentions Chris Christie... Really? Lol, I don't know how anyone in their right minds couldn't listen to this. But, I am though surprised that he didn't mention Abraham Lincoln...🤣😂.

@GottaLaff Yes, your good vibes are coming over the ocean, and I must always smile when I see the WompWomps.😄👍🏼 Thanks for reporting all that stuff from the courtroom, by the way, that must be exhausting...🥱🙄

@theappletree It is. I'm already pooped

@GottaLaff Yes, I can imagine and it's the logical consequence of hearing all that shit. Take care!

@GottaLaff this is not the gotcha you might think it is. It shows that people are there for more than him. It's become a social group, a community, a chance to connect. That is more dangerous, as a movement like that can outlast its charismatic leader

By the way the only other place I've seen cranes like that used for a political event was in Iran while they were hanging people in public.
