Unhinged the Third

 

A little recap of the first half of the debate:

• "Millions and millions of criminals entering the country." Some version of that, four times so far.
• "I have nothing to do with Project 2025."
• The economy is terrible, just look at a poll.
• "She's a Marxist. Everybody knows she's a Marxist."
• Democrats allow executing babies after they are born.
• "Every legal scholar, every Democrat, every Republican, liberal, conservative..." wanted Roe v. Wade overturned.
• "...she's busing them in and paying them..." Meaning people who attend VP Harris's rallies.
• "In Springfield, they're eating the dogs."
• Per Trump, crime is down in countries all over the world except the US, because other countries are sending their criminals here.
• The FBI published "defrauding" crime statistics.
• "I probably took a bullet to the head because of the things they say about me."

Enough material halfway through to say for certain that this guy does not meet even the lowest possible bar for mental stability any normal person would expect from a president.

Next question is about Harris changing positions on some policies.

"She gave up at least 12 and probably 14 or 15 different policies."

Is it just me, or does it sound to everyone like he is just making up numbers?

"Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison."

Widely and deservedly mocked. Just throwing Republican scary words together in a blender.

"Because the prices of energy were quadrupling and doubling."

Wow, not only quadrupling, but also doubling. Sounds bad.

Next question: Mr. Trump, do you have any regrets about what you did on Jan. 6, 2001?

[He never mentions one.]

"Nobody on the other side was killed."

Just several on the rioters' side, plus police attacked, the capitol breached, stuff taken, lawmakers threatened and evacuated. No big deal.

Ashli Babbitt was shot by an out-of-control police officer that should have never, ever shot her. It's a disgrace."

She was trying to enter a room where Capitol Police and Secret Service were trying to protect members of Congress. A Capitol Police investigation concluded that the shooting was justified and "potentially saved Members (of Congress) from serious injury and possible death."

"...this group of people (the rioters) that have been treated so badly."

Tried for their crimes. How awful.

Next sentence: "I ask, what about all these people that are pouring into our country and killing people?"

You forgot to say millions and millions. So, people are pouring into our country, murdering our citizens, and nothing is being done about it? Is this a real thing?

I am going to stop this one there and publish, because I will be playing bridge in Oregon the next three days, but there is much more remaining. With all of these posts, the point is not just that Trump had a bad debate, but that he showed himself to be unquestionably mentally unfit for office.

More to come.
