Election on November 5 2024 — beware of Trump

There are 14 days to go until election day in the USA. It is important to remember once again how devastating a second Trump presidency would be for the USA and the rest of the world.
If all the crazy things Trump has said in the last few months (Hannibal Lector, electrocuted, eat pets…) don’t seem to bother anyone, the danger of an authoritarian USA should make more sensible people rethink. Here are some points that come to mind:

• Defaming and threatening domestic opponents: Trump has a clear image of where the enemy sits for him. These are not external opponents such as Iran, Russia or China. First and foremost are the internal enemies. He wants to deploy the National Guard and army against them. (Source: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-suggests-hell-use-the-military-on-the-enemy-from-within-the-u-s-if-hes-reelected)
• Vague allusions to a regime that functions without elections. Before Christians, Trump famously announced ‘you won’t have to vote any more’. (Source: West Palm Beach, Turning Point USA Believers Summit (August 2024))
• Dealing with the acts of insurrection on 6 January 2020: Trump is fundamentally lying about his own part in this attempted coup: ‘Be there, will be wild.’ was the slogan he used to invite his supporters to Washington. Trump is also spreading lies about the consequences of the uprising. According to what he says, no people were harmed on 6 January 2020.
• And one more thing: during his first presidency, many of those who may have originally supported him were counting on ‘grown-ups’ around him to prevent the worst from happening. It must be made clear here that there is no such thing as ‘grown-ups’ in the American constitution. All kinds of forces can exert influence on Trump, who is soft on wax and lacks a clear concept
• Trump has brought JD Vance on board. He is a supporter of ‘Project 2025’, which aims to systematically promote people who conform to this project to positions of power.

All in all, there are good reasons not to give this Humpty Dumpty Trump and his acolyte JD Vance the opportunity to eliminate the democratic constitution of the USA.
Vote blue or skip voting this time.

“numbers” (Nobel laureates) and “numbers” (Trump’s word salad)

List of American Nobel laureates since the year 2000 (kind of real numbers):

Chemistry: 34
Economics: 43
Peace: 4
Physics: 33
Physiology or Medicine: 32
Literature: 2

Compare these real “numbers” with the crap Donald Trump says on a simple question about “child care” and the “specific piece of legislation [to] advance”.

It’s part of the “the Emperors New Clothes” game that the audience dares to clap for this incoherent stuff. America, you can do much better and renounce on voting for such an incompetent and dangerous person!

Verbal diarrhoea. Trump on 6/9/24. Agent orange on the brink #1

It’s difficult to believe but everyone can check this piece of verbal diarrhoea performed by Trump on June 9 2024 in Las Vegas:

Teleprompter not working, not even a little bit! Great job. And then I dont’t pay the company that does it, right? And then I end up with a story Trump doesn’t pay. I don’t pay contractors that do a *** job. And that’s a *** job. I hope the military-revolts at the voting booth. So I said let me ask you a question, and he said nobody ever asks this question. And it must because of MIT, my relationship with MIT, very smart. He goes, I say, what would happen if the boat sank from its weight and you’re in the boat. And there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there. By the way lots of shark attacks lately. Did you notice that? Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?

Don’t tell me that you are going to vote for this weirdo, do you?
