Has Donald Trump 'no sense of decency' [View all]

Do you suppose we’re entering that moment leading up to the November elections where you throw up your hands and utter, “Enough is enough!” Or perhaps put another way, let’s think of Donald Trump as the lay-about brother-in-law who keeps showing up uninvited and drinks all your liquor.

Really now, hasn’t this incessant mash-up of “The Gong Show” meets “The Squid Game” gone on far, far too long?

In recent days, Trump has gone on a marathon of fibs, lies, dissembling and downright gibberish on the stump, unleashing a cavalcade of calumny that envy Charles Ponzi. The Florida fabulist has claimed Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp couldn’t get President Joe Biden on the phone to discuss disaster relief. Whopper! Even Kemp acknowledged that he and Biden were working closely together.

Trump pivoted to the pitiful, claiming money for hurricane help had been diverted from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide housing to illegal immigrants. That was a huge steaming pile of balderdash, too, as were claims Trump vomited into the public discourse that Biden and Kamala Harris were plotting to allow illegal immigrants to vote, that hurricane disaster victims would only receive $750 (a lie advanced across the blabber-sphere of right-wing talk radio), and that the audience went crazy in support of him during his debate with Harris. Ahem, there was no studio audience.

And the MAGA sheep think Biden is too addled to serve as president?
