A verbless, nounless fascist is at the helm

Direct quote, when asked about his second-term agenda: “I think, I think it would be, I think it would be very, very, I think we’d have a very, very solid, we would continue what we’re doing, we’d solidify what we’ve done and we have other things on our plate that we want to get done.”  No working nouns. forget about verbs. Incredible cognitive decline. He’s .45 because he’s less than half a president. 

And his craziness is apparently very contagious. They drank the electric Koolaid. What have we come to? An idiot nation of Know-nothings in red MAGA hats, and proud of it? When did we throw out common sense along with the bathwater? Talk about drought.

A picture is worth a thousand words. #fascism

From my favorite magician, and AI Apple maven, linguist, Kim Silverman:

“My abridged version (full link below):

President Trump's Thursday night convention speech making the case for his reelection was lower-rated than his challenger Joe Biden's speech one week ago, according to overnight Nielsen ratings.

About 21.6 million viewers watched coverage of Trump's RNC address across nine cable and broadcast networks, down from 23.6 million viewers who watched Biden's DNC address on the same nine networks.

The totals may fluctuate slightly when final numbers are released later in the day, but Biden clearly edged out Trump.

The Democratic convention was also higher-rated than the Republican convention overall when the audience for all four days is tallied up.

...Trump insists he doesn't watch much TV despite years of evidence to the contrary...  Fox News had by far the biggest audience of any channel on Thursday night, with upwards of 9 million viewers.

Nielsen's data sets count traditional TV viewership across America but largely leave out streaming and other digital forms of engagement, so the picture is incomplete.

And it is impossible to know how many people watched just Trump, just Biden, or both speeches.

So the ratings are not a proxy for voter behavior -- but they are notable for other reasons.

Average viewership for both 2020 conventions dropped from 2016, when Trump accepted the GOP nomination and Hillary Clinton ran against him...That year, Clinton's speech averaged 29.8 million viewers and Trump's speech averaged 32.2 million viewers...

(The 2016 totals cannot be compared exactly to the overnight ratings for this year, but they are directionally accurate.)

...or the eight nights combined, CNN "topped all the broadcast networks -- NBC, ABC and CBS -- in total viewers and demos," meaning the different age demographics that advertisers target.

Overall viewership skewed older, as political coverage typically does.

Fox News ratings were relatively weak during the Democratic convention and incredibly strong during the GOP convention. Nearly half of all the people watching Trump's Thursday night speech on TV were watching on Fox. The full report is in CNN news. Dissect it accordingly, but keep in mind the facts.”

Betty White sums it up best.
