"Americans from both sides of the political spectrum should be alarmed by Trump’s words and behavior. The nation must confront the fact that beyond his hateful character, he is crippled cognitively and showing clear signs of mental illness. There’s no need to resort to armchair psychology to interpret what’s apparent. " - Las Vegas Sun Editorial
Jeebus, to hear and see all the nattering media nabobs squawking their asses off about Biden's "garbage" remark you'd think he bragged he could go in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue and shoot someone and not lose any support. What the fuck is wrong in this country that a president can be waylaid six ways from Sunday for an honest but off the cuff remark but a traitor, adjudicated rapist and convicted felon can see his polls climb no matter what he says? Such as calling the carnival of hate at Madison Square Garden Sunday night a "love fest". Or vowing to deport millions of immigrants using the military? Or mobilizing them after the "enemies within" on his deranged list?
Never mind the WSJ's Danny Henninger decries this " bottom-of-the-barrel" campaign, can we admit the nation as a whole is teetering at the edge of insanity? I believe we surely can and if you think this is "histrionic" take a gander at this WaPo piece:

I attribute 90 percent of the basis to over- exposure to Donald Trump's incessant verbal garbage, psychosis and rabid narcissism. And some want to put him back into office again? After he already showed his incompetence with the pandemic causing nearly an extra quarter million deaths.
Can we all agree there is a lack of proportion and proportionate response here, to Biden's knee jerk remark? Just as in the media's demand that Kamala dazzle in every interview and be excruciatingly specific on her every policy position. While the orange maggot is allowed to spout and say anything at will and none of the press or very few, blinks an eye.
Look this is very simple. Biden's error was in not being more nuanced. (Likely owing to another aging brain misfire.) But if you are an incidental and low information voter who simply believes (wrongly) Trump is better at economics, then ok, we (and Joe) would grant you a one-time 'mulligan'. Lots of harm (but no intentional foul) if you happen to vote for the orange reprobate - either because of low IQ, brainwashing (by FOX) or simply not doing the research a citizen ought to do before a crucial election.
However, if you're not merely a misguided voter but an active supporter (who wears Hitler mustaches like Timothy Cusinelli) and cheered on the dregs and deranged "comics" at the Garden, while spreading your own Trumpian lies about Kamala on Reddit - then you are indeed garbage. There is no other way to put it. Because only garbage would back garbage in the person of a maggot who's vowed to terminate the Constitution, and in fact referred to this country as a "garbage pail". And who vows to exact retribution on all those he sees as enemies.
And by God, if you marched with the Nazis and Johnny Rebs in Charlottesville, you are also emphatically garbage. I refer here to the execrable Neo-Nazi, White Supremacist 'Unite the Right' March in August, 2017
In the days since Donald Trump's hate-filled rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, what's striking is the pettiness of the stakes MAGA defenders have laid out. In the final days of a dead-heat contest for the most powerful office in the world, Republicans argued we must elect a textbook fascist to protect the sacrosanct right of a white man to be rude without being criticized for it.
Most of the racist diatribes at Trump's New York City rally were not jokes. But the comments getting the most media attention — especially calling Puerto Ricans "garbage" — were offered up in a joke-like cadence by podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe. This has allowed MAGA to pretend we're having a national debate about tastefulness, rather than fascism. Hinchcliffe said liberals have "no sense of humor." Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, said others should "stop getting so offended."
Trump, however, dispensed with the fiction that we are debating the subjective quality of humor. At a Tuesday press conference, he simply reified the true MAGA belief at stake: that Trump and his allies get to say what they want, and everyone else must shut up about it. This mostly came in the form of griping that Michelle Obama was allowed to criticize him: "Obama, his wife was very nasty to me. That was not nice."
