      https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-apparently-confuses-willie-brown-with-jerry-brown-helicopter-tale-2024-08-09/

      Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump appeared to confuse former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown with former California Governor Jerry Brown during a press conference on Thursday as he related a fantastical story of nearly dying in a helicopter crash.

      Speaking from his Florida home on a variety of topics, Trump related a tale of almost going down in a helicopter with Willie Brown, who briefly dated Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris several decades ago.

      “I went down in a helicopter with him," Trump said. "We thought maybe this is the end. We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together, and there was an emergency landing. This was not a pleasant landing, and Willie was, he was a little concerned."

      but

      But Brown, a longtime Democratic power broker who also served as speaker of the California State Assembly, told the San Francisco Chronicle after Trump’s press conference that he was never in a helicopter with the former president.

      and

      While president, Trump toured fire-ravaged portions of California in 2018 via helicopter alongside then-California Governor Jerry Brown, NBC News reported.

      A representative for former Governor Brown told the New York Times there was no emergency landing and Harris never was discussed during the flight.

      As Nikki Haley said, "The first party to get rid of its old man candidate will win"

        Make you a prediction ...Niki Haley will never headline the Republican ticket.

        Ever.

          “You take a look at bacon and some of these products and some people don’t eat bacon anymore. We are going to get the energy prices down. When we get energy down, you know, this was caused by their horrible energy—wind, they want wind all over the place. But when it doesn’t blow we have a little problem. This was caused by energy. This was really caused by energy, and also their unbelievable spending. They are spending us out of wealth, actually, they’re taking our wealth away, but it was caused by energy.”

          Only non-witches get due process.

            So?

            This is a constant theme of Trump.

            Cheap energy + low taxes = hotter economy, which translates to a growth in real wages.

            Is he wrong?

                As a friend of mine describes Trump’s presentation skills; “he moves from the banal to the surreal and finishes with the unintelligible”.

                    Well, maybe they can afford bacon. I suspect the bacon reference harkens back to his video where he was comparing grocery prices before and after Biden.

                        No, I don't.

                        As of right now, does that matter?

                          In the grand scheme of things, does any of this really matter? The universe if 13 billion years old, mankind has been here 300,000 years. Even at his admittedly advanced age, he hasn't seen much of it, and four more years of Donald Trump, whilst annoying and unpleasant, is likely to be a lot less important than both he and others would have us believe.

                              I think he's hoping to harvest the methane from pigs that aren't being turned into bacon to create sustainable energy.

                                He’s just pissed that Biden kicked his ass on oil and gas production so he creates a world in his head where that didn’t happen. And bacon.

When we get energy down, you know, this was caused by their horrible energy—wind, they want wind all over the place. But when it doesn’t blow we have a little problem. This was caused by energy. This was really caused by energy, and also their unbelievable spending. They are spending us out of wealth, actually, they’re taking our wealth away, but it was caused by energy.”

                                    @Jolly Well, it has been shown that oil production is up 20% since the start of the President Biden president. The US is a market economy so not sure how he will make energy cheaper. Coal is on a downward path that will be pretty hard to recover from. Maybe he is going to "embrace" the Green Deal!!

                                        Well, it has been shown that oil production is up 20% since the start of the President Biden president.

                                        Yes.

                                        But that's as bogus as saying Biden "created" 15 million jobs.

                                        Now compare it to what it was like before the COVID dip. Higher, but not 20%.

                                        In Jan 2020, it was 398,392. The highest during the last 4 years is 412,547.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
