‘Donald Trump is losing his marbles,’ former Congressman and Republican Adam Kinzinger said

Republicans are concerned that party leader Donald Trump is having a “public nervous breakdown” after he made a series of offensive outbursts about Vice President Kamala Harris as he slips behind her in the polls.

The former president has made a number of  insulting personal attacks against his Democratic rival since she moved to the top of the ticket. Last week, Trump questioned Harris’s racial identity  at the National Association of Black Journalists conference. Over the weekend, he accused Harris of having a “low IQ.”

New polls indicate Trump is slipping behind the vice president in the popular vote and races are tightening in battleground states.

“This is what you would call a public nervous breakdown,” Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump state department appointee, told Politico.

    Person A quietly swipes a pen off your desk.

    Person B robs a bank at gunpoint, and it goes bad, murdering 12 people in the process, including kids.

    “Obviously both sides must be talked about with the same weight of seriousness.” “That was my favorite pen, how dare he!!!” “They’re both thieves, and there’s no difference between them.” “They’re both the same.”

    Fuck that.

      Not even a little bit what I meant, and you’re drawing false dichotomies

      I’ve said repeatedly in my comments in reply to this post that I don’t think it’s equal.

      Explicitly stated. I’ll take the optimist approach and assume you couldn’t be bothered to actually try and understand what I meant.
