As the 2024 Presidential race enter its final weekend, polls show al virtual tie between Vice President Kamala Harris and Disgraced felon, sexual predator, certified fraud and former president Donald John Trump.
Among his many falsehoods, Trump, continues to lie with claims that he lost the 2020 election Joe Bidem won, and the decision rests with voters who must deliver clear wins in the vital Electoral College swing states. Their role is vital to protect our democracy and the future of America.
You already know Donald Trump. He is unfit to lead. Watch him. Listen to those who know him best. He tried to subvert an election and remains a threat to democracy. He helped overturn Roe, with terrible consequences. Mr. Trump’s corruption and lawlessness go beyond elections: It’s his whole ethos. He lies without limit. If he’s re-elected, the G.O.P. won’t restrain him. Mr. Trump will use the government to go after opponents. He will pursue a cruel policy of mass deportations. He will wreak havoc on the poor, the middle class and employers. Another Trump term will damage the climate, shatter alliances and strengthen autocrats. Americans should demand better. Vote.
At The Washington Post, where Amazon billionaire owner Jeff Bezos shut down endorsements, their lead story on this Saturday morning showcased how misinformation has returned to social networks:
During the chaos after the 2020 election, tech companies erected unprecedented defenses to prevent misinformation from spreading on their platforms.
Twitter’s Trust and Safety team added fact-checking labels to false claims about the election and blocked some of then-President Donald Trump’s posts about vote fraudfrom spreading. Facebook peppered election posts with links to its voter information center, which was filled with reliable information about the legitimacy of mail-in ballots and voting in general. Several weeks after the race was called, YouTube began removing videos that made claims of widespread election fraud.
Four years later, all those platforms are in retreat.
Under Elon Musk, Twitter — now X — eliminated most of its content moderation staff, replacing them with a crowdsourced, and flawed, fact-checking experiment. Facebook, now Meta, has scaled down its voter information center, and has decreased the visibility of posts about politics across Facebook and Instagram.And YouTube now allows claims of election fraud on the network.
Trump is a nonstop liar with a lemming cult of MAGA Maggots that spread his lies far and wide. Truth is a lost commodity
When The Washington Post Fact Checker team first started cataloguing President Donald Trump’s false or misleading claims, we recorded 492 suspect claims in the first 100 days of his presidency. On Nov. 2 alone, the day before the 2020 vote, Trump made 503 false or misleading claims as he barnstormed across the country in a desperate effort to win reelection.
This astonishing jump in falsehoods is the story of Trump’s tumultuous reign. By the end of his term, Trump had accumulated 30,573 untruths during his presidency — averaging about 21 erroneous claims a day.
What is especially striking is how the tsunami of untruths kept rising the longer he served as president and became increasingly unmoored from the truth.
Trump averaged about six claims a day in his first year as president, 16 claims day in his second year, 22 claims day in this third year — and 39 claims a day in his final year. Put another way, it took him 27 months to reach 10,000 claims and an additional 14 months to reach 20,000. He then exceeded the 30,000 mark less than five months later.
“Some supporters no doubt believe many of the falsehoods,” writes Dennis Effron, associate professor of organizational behavior at London Business School. “Others may recognize the claims as falsehoods but tolerate them as a side effect of an off-the-cuff rhetorical style they admire. Or perhaps they have become desensitized to the dishonesty by the sheer volume of it.”
A con man thrives on convincing his victims that he can deliver what they desire, He olays to the hypocrisy of others, the inherent racism that lingers just below ground in America and the hate that drives too many.
He promises a lot but fails to deliver on most. The charm of a con man depends on an ability to prey on their fantasies and desires. He takes credit for the accomplishment of others. He conned the Republican Party by appointing hardcore right wing judges, most of them incompetent Many of his appointed aides during his presidency are either in prison or awaiting sentencing.
If voters faill to send him packing in this election,, he will be free to strip away any legacy that was once America. His con will win while the nation and the rest of us loose.

While I’d like to see justice prevail and Trump treated like any other person which would mean jail time or, if lucky, home confinement, I’d just be relieved if he loses and slinks off to live in his delusional world where he can still pretend he’s the rightful heir to the throne which Biden stole from him the first time and Harris the second time.
I am a retired psychotherapist who, along with other members of the Duty to Warn group, diagnosed him as a dangerous malignant narcissist in 2017. I wrote about this on Capitol Hill Blue ( https://capitolhillblue.com/node/tag/hal-brown ) and elsewhere. Currently I see him descending rapidly into dementia, psychosis, or both. Win or lose, whether residing in prison, the White House, or Mar-a-Lago, I believe his fate is sealed. The madman will end up going mad.
