Is Trump’s $5,000 midterm pledge a new low? - The Latest
By Presented by Lucy Hough with Devika Bhat ; produced by Angus Neale ; senior producer Ryan Ramgobin ; executive producer Zoe HitchDonald Trump has pledged a payment of $5,000 to every adult American citizen if the Republicans win in the November midterms. The outlandish proposal, which would cost over $1tn, immediately raised legal and ethical concerns. It comes as the president’s approval rating has hit a record low, hovering at about 38%.

People who aren't in the US resistance are not seeing this, but #WashingtonDC protestors have been extremely busy.
The mutiny of preverts is terrified. Not just about riots if they were to "successfully" steal the midterms (looking less likely by the day) but also the very sight of protestors mocking them 24/7.

¿Se puede tener una ciudad segura si quitas los asesinatos?
En 1989, el alcalde de Washington D. C., Marion Barry, intentó defender la reputación de su ciudad ante la prensa. Para calmar los ánimos sobre la violencia, dijo una frase que quedó grabada en la historia por su falta de lógica: "Si quitamos los asesinatos, Washington tiene una de las tasas de delitos más bajas del país". La declaración causó burlas inmediatas porque ignoraba que el homicidio es el peor delito de todos.

"Trump spent Sunday posting pictures of himself nuking the planet from a space station, guarded by giant robots, over a caption announcing that the United States now owns the moon. He did this for thirteen hours.
Between 9:10 in the morning and 10:35 at night, Donald Trump fired off more than sixty posts. Memes, rants, endorsements, personal attacks, and a steady stream of AI-generated pictures of himself. He announced he wants to rename New Mexico.
Stating that it is "one of the great vote cheating states of all time," a casual proposition by the President of the U.S.A. to rename a state that has existed since 1912 and call it "New America" was accompanied by a video of him dancing to Y.M.C.A.
He posted himself as Hulk Hogan. He posted himself in a Space Force uniform that critics pointed out looks like the outfit the villains wear in Star Wars. He posted himself palling around with George Washington, drawn by the same software that cannot reliably render a hand.
He bragged about making billions trading stocks, while under scrutiny for exactly that, and added that the billions were "for the U.S.A., not myself," which is what a man says when both halves of the sentence are for him.
Somewhere in the thirteen hours he found the time and audacity to mock congresswoman Debbie Dingell for weeping over her dead husband, calling her a “third rate loser.”
None of this is a distraction, in fact it seems that this is his job now.
The country is paying a full presidential salary, and a great deal more than that, for a man to be unhinged on his own social media app.
The codes are still in the room with him."

Protests, including permanent protest camps, are everywhere every day in #WashingtonDC. Sounds like for spooky season all they needed to do was run with the actual headlines!
Ace comment: "More activities than the Great American State Fair."
