And people say his cognitive faculties are impaired.
Well spotted!
Well, as he told us, “person, woman, man, camera, TV”, he knows all about those things and can recognize them with near-100% accuracy much of the time. He’s a goddamn subject matter expert, that’s what he is. The very stablest of geniuses.
Looking forward to the look on her face when some “serious journalist” asks her to respond to Trump’s accusations of her being a woman. I assume it will be similar to the look on her face when a “serious journalist” asked her to respond to Trump’s accusation that she’s Black.
I was so sure this was an Onion headline. Sigh…
It used to be that you could usually figure out some kind of slug-trail of a thought process in what he said but it really feels like he’s completely lost the ability to hold and communicate any kind of coherent meaning about anything.
The “serious journalists” are too concerned with trying to make this a horse race to once again suggest that one of the candidates is overdue at the glue factory.
He’s taken to only being able to speak in uncompleted half sentences - and when they were vaguely full sentences, from one to the next was often a non sequitur - so when you elide the half sentences of disconnected thoughts together, all you get is a weird ‘stream of consciousness’ nonsense like this.
The upcoming onion headline (if it’s not already there, I haven’t checked it yet today):
“Kamala Harris Turns Human”
He is incapable of not inserting ridiculous adjectives into his “sentences.” (If they can be called that.)
“Somehow, A Woman” must be the title of another single Richard Harris recorded in the early 70’s. I’ll start scouring old record stores until I find it.
Sentence jumbles. My guess is his intent was along the lines of: She’s ahead in the polls. She’s a woman. A black woman to boot. How is that possible?
Still pretty awful but consistent with his baked in misogyny and racism.
The headline and the quote is missing a comma, or dashes for emphasis.
“She’s somehow a woman. Somehow, she’s doing better than he did.”
Should be:
“She’s somehow - a woman - somehow, she’s doing better than he did.”
The misogynist Trump can’t understand how a woman could be doing better in the polls than Biden, and him as well.
I’d believe you, but with the amount of transphobia and scattershot transvestigation coming from the Republicans I have to assume that first.
Trying to take his verbal diarrhea and torture it into a semblance of meaning is exactly the sane-washing that the media are taking well-deserved flack for. Letting his words stand or fall on their own merit is our best and only move, IMHO.
Somehow a Woman (Billy Joel/Dreamboat Skanky)
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
And she can win the debate when she calls out your lies
And she simply reveals you’re the trash that we see
“She’s recently Black but she’s somehow a woman to me…”
She can prosecute jerks, she can take you and beat you
She can call for the truth and she’s gonna defeat you
And she’ll do what she can to save democracy,
“I’m a damn genius, but she’s somehow a woman to me…”
Oh, she takes care of herself, she can run how she wants
“Is she suddenly Black?”
Oh, and she never gives out and she never gives in
And we’re not going back…
She is frequently kind and she’s really quite cool
But she can do as she pleases, she’s nobody’s fool
And she can’t be convicted, she’s not like you
And the most she will do is throw shade right at you
But she’s the next POTUS to me
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm…
The only Trump sentence I care about at this point is the one that will finally put him behind bars.
I’m doing all I can to help the dems win and refuse to take it as a given until the vote, but I dream of my epic happiness at his sheer misery when he gets beat by a woman of color.
For him, that’s the ultimate insult. It will be delicious.
