"'Trump shifted from topic to topic so quickly that it was hard to keep track of what he meant at times," The AP's story noted.
On Sunday, Trump appeared to call for 'one rough hour' of police retaliation to stop criminals. Critics equated it to 'The Purge.' He also posted on Truth Social that he detests Fox for 'constantly putting on Liberal Democrats to counter previous guests from the Right.'"

"We knew it would get worse as we get closer to Nov. 5. We knew he has no bottom. We knew that his fear of losing and the intensifying desperation would motivate him to say anything, no matter how untethered from reality, no matter how vile and degrading."

"I used to think that Trump’s rallies and speeches should not be shown live because that only gave him a media megaphone for his propaganda. I believed, and often wrote, that such coverage should only come later, accompanied by plenty of fact-checking and context. But I’m not so sure any more."

"Maybe, in order to get across how unhinged and offensive this really is, it needs to be seen in its full live form, complete with the red-capped faithful cheering on his every ugly insult."
Sullivan concludes that what the media are doing to expose and counter Trump's toxic lies is "not good enough," and that the media are effectively normalizing him and the serious danger he poses.

"But treating these lines as mere volleys in a larger political back and forth does them, and the voters, a disservice. Trump’s not leveling attacks; he’s outlining a strikingly dark worldview, with strikingly dark implications for the country.
We’re at risk of not recognizing this because of our inclination to apply horse-race coverage to the election."

"The past week has shown us that the death penalty can and will be carried out, even in questionable circumstances, when an executive wishes to do so — and the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservatives will not stop it.
That’s important to think about as Donald Trump fights to get back in the White House."

"Marcellus Williams was killed by lethal injection on Tuesday, not long after the Republican super-majority, partially engineered by Donald Trump, denied Williams’ request for a stay of execution. The three liberals on the court vehemently dissented."

"[Dahlia] Lithwick and [MarkJoseph] Stern marvel at the degree to which the right-wing justices were 'obsessed with due process and judicial review and the possibility of vindictive prosecution' when it came to Donald, but they gave no such consideration to Marcellus Williams."

"It’s not just the death penalty, of course. The Republican Party no longer seems to value human life. We’re all expendable in the service of helping them prove a point.
From their indifference to gun deaths, especially from mass shootings at our children’s schools, to the unnecessary and avoidable deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans because of Donald’s malicious mishandling of COVID, they just don’t care."

Meanwhile, this weekend Vance appeared with Lance Wallnau, who claims that Kamala Harris is possessed by the devil.
As Judd Legum and Noel Sims report, in 2020, Wallnau hawked a $45 Trump-branded coin. He told buyers that the coin was a “point of contact” so that their prayers for Trump could be combined with those of other Christians to multiply them.

"Now his Courage Tour outfit is selling stem-cell therapy at a cost of $3,500 to $6,500 and the promise that this cure "could be what you have been praying for.”
The grift goes with the pseudo-religion. Always.
The "back" to which they want to take us is to a dark period when people babbled about demons and witches and believed talismans would cure what ailed them.
