This is what he said. This is what the man said, verbatim, in Detroit last week:

@wdlindsy @MylesRyden
My neighbor was out in his yard (doing major work on siding that it despertely needs) with his almost billboard sized "Trump 2024 No More Bullshit" flag and an American flag.
I imagine most of the day he's tuned and focused to those channels that feed the idea that they are the warriors for "good."
At least NPR just played a big chunk of that babble, BUT now they're just chatting about false allegations of election fraud.
Perhaps at least mentioning that he's babbling incoherently?

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@geonz @MylesRyden Isn't it telling that they chose those billboard-sized signs and flags? Almost as if they're over-compensating for something that's very small….

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@jik Thank you so much for the link. It doesn't open for me, unfortunately, and I've found that happens when I myself share gift links to WaPo here. I will see if I can open and read using the Archive.Today site.

P.S. Yes — it opened for me there and I'll read it now!

[geonz@mathstodon.xyz]

@wdlindsy @MylesRyden I wish noting that worked better but I also think that it's simply threatening violence.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@jik W wonderful suggestion.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@MylesRyden Yes, the American they love is "their" America, which can be crafted only by spinning fantasies and denying the actual history of the nation they claim to love, just as you say.

@wdlindsy

Wow, his mind is scrambled. Anybody who thinks Trump is capable needs to read this short thread.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Greengordon Absolutely.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@geonz @MylesRyden I may have lost the thread here, but if you mean that the oversized billboard sign is a way of threatening violence, then, yes, that makes sense to me.

[mylesryden@social.vivaldi.net]

@wdlindsy @geonz

Not quite. To me, the phrase "No more BS," literally means we are going to solve problems permanently. Trans people in bathrooms? Round them up and get rid of them. Immigrants "taking our jobs?" Round them up and get rid of them. Etc.

A final solution for everything.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@MylesRyden @geonz Again, I seem to be losing the thread. I hadn't seen that phrase "no more BS" in the thread, so I'm not sure why we're discussing it now. Not that this isn't a good point and that your analysis isn't good — just not sure I'm following well and for that reason, not sure I'm responding coherently.

[geonz@mathstodon.xyz]

@wdlindsy @MylesRyden I noted that it was on the bill board sized banner under TRUMP 2024 (as well as a flag or two).

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@geonz @MylesRyden Thank you for clarifying. I see why I didn't find that phrase when I did a search for "no more BS." You spelled the word out. Sorry I had missed that point. I agree with both of you in the points you're making.

[futurebird@sauropods.win]

@wdlindsy

"the level of that circle was great"

Which circle is he talking about? I-- What are the "levels" of circles? What on earth does it MEAN????

[mishavanmollusq@sfba.social]

@wdlindsy sounds like something from Oppenheimer when one of the atom crackers dropped the plutonium and then drew circles on who would die when from expose

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@futurebird Yes, I asked myself the same thing. Totally mystifying. Crop circles? Circles of hell? Commentators are saying he's referencing circles Biden had drawn — I suppose at some White House gatherings — to keep people standing separate from each other during the pandemic. But who'd know that reading this gibberish? All of a sudden, circles! Somehow connected Musk and rockets and the moon and engines Trump has seen. This is dementia talk, as far as I can see.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@MishaVanMollusq I think we just can't give Trump any credit for meaning anything profound or certainly knowing anything profound, as he babbles about circles.

[mastodonmigration@mastodon.online]

@wdlindsy @futurebird

Seriously! Anyone who votes for this lunatic needs to have their head examined.

[thedailyburble@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy @futurebird It's get amplification talk.

[mishavanmollusq@sfba.social]

@wdlindsy as Greg Bear used to say, he’s tuned to Death’s radio Station and the broadcast are full of static
