Great. Trump just ordered a stop to any stimulus bill talks. The Dow is plummeting.

Trump Tweets

Nancy Pelosi is asking for $2.4 Trillion Dollars to bailout poorly run, high crime, Democrat States, money that is in no way related to COVID-19. We made a very generous offer of $1.6 Trillion Dollars and, as usual, she is not negotiating in good faith. I am rejecting their...

...request, and looking to the future of our Country. I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business. I have asked...


...@senatemajldr Mitch McConnell not to delay, but to instead focus full time on approving my outstanding nominee to the United States Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett. Our Economy is doing very well. The Stock Market is at record levels, JOBS and unemployment...

...also coming back in record numbers. We are leading the World in Economic Recovery, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!

BREAKING: Dow falls 400+ points to fresh session low after Trump terminates stimulus talks

I can't help but wonder if anyone around the president personally profited from the tweet he posted that predictably caused stocks to suddenly sink.

I would check Jared's brokerage account. Trump pulled the same crap with the trade deal talks.

Jared might be smart enough for that, but not Trump. He's just setting fire to the ship because they might not let him be captain next time.

Fair enough - he's so tough he proved Covid is just a touch of the 'flu and there's no need for stimulus.

Get back to school and work, you slackers!

Classic Trump: don't pay the peons, get that judge through because it will help me personally.

Nah, it's the great drugs.

Not Trump writing this. DEFINITELY not Trump. Way too long for Mr Twitter-bug. He can barely maintain a thought this long, let alone write sentences.

Also, it flies in the face of objective reality. The stock market is falling, not rising (unless someone failed to point out it is actually record LOW levels??). Which suggests this tweet is by someone else and aimed at Trump to distract and make him feel better about his recent horrendous decisions.

I wonder if Trump thinks he is going to lose,and ,in the great tradition of Adolf Hitler has adapted a scorched earth policy to leave Biden as big a mess as possible.
Of course this latest move might very well cost the GOP the Senate, but Trump might well want to pull down the GOP as punishment for not b eing sufficently loyal to him.
And, yeah, this latest makes so little political sense that I am now buying into the "his mind has been impaceted by all those steroids" school.

Record low ? Can you explain ?

Well, he proved the virus is no worse than the flu, so what need is there for a stimulus?

Get back to work and school and sports you lazy, fat weaklings.

We. Are. ******.

Poe???

No, just Cain!

Oh. We are ******.

I love how the trumpkins have shifted from "Twump has done more to fight covid than anyone!" to "well, of course he hasn't, there's very little he can do, he's just the president!"

I know he's not bipolar. But that's what his behavior is reminding me of. He's just your ordinary, run-of-the-mill malignant narcissist psychopath POTUS hopped up on dexamethasone.

I think it's more of a "Shame if something were to happen to this place" while deliberately bumping into a vase and knocking it over. It's a power play taunt, you bring em back to the negotiation table then grind the table up in a wood chipper. Doubt much if he cares that some of his party get sucked into the chipper as well. Just anything to hold over people's heads till after the election.

It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

Maybe the Dems will insist on a plexiglass barrier like is being used in the Veep debate.

For ultimate safety, Trump should be sealed into a completely airtight plexiglass box. That would prevent any risk of him infecting others, or getting a secondary infection himself. Win/win!






Major: Oh you couldn't do that, Fawlty, he wouldn't be able to breathe.
Fawlty: He could try, Major. He could try.

BREAKING: Fed Chair Powell calls for more help from Congress, says there’s a low risk of ‘overdoing it’
https://cnbc.com/id/106732048

Does Trump understand Powell's position? It seems unlikely since he was cheering on McConnell for not moving forward on the House stimulus bill.

Surely the only safe thing is to have Trump isolated entirely, since we know he has covid? We live in 2020. Insist that the debate be conducted over the air, with Drumpf in the White House or Walter Reed, and Biden, well, wherever he pleases. Trump will refuse, but then Biden can weaponise this as another sign Trump cares nothing about covid safety.

It's like the whole world is watching as trump slowly (and publicly) loses his freakin' mind! As several persons have already posted, just when you think we've hit bottom it gets worse. :(

To poke at a couple things -

Nationwide: Biden Leads By 8 Points After Acrimonious Debate, Before Trump Is Hospitalized; After Trump Medevaced To Walter Reed,
Biden Lead Doubles to 16; Averaging All Likely Voters, Contest At This Hour Stands Biden 53%, Trump 43%; Volatile, Fluid, Could Change:

Looks like Trump in the hospital did hurt him notably.

Elsewhere -

Subject of Project Veritas Voter Fraud Video Says He Was Offered $10,000 to Lie About Ballot Harvesting for Ilhan Omar

Just in case that comes up.

Elsewhere, for a moment of levity, looks like the DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN picture has been edited to say TRUMP DEFEATS COVID and is supposedly being loved on right-wing social media.

Well, he's already made a visit to his bunker.

But COVID is nothing to worry about. Trump proved it by walking up a flight of stairs and saluting.

Only Biden and those Lefty pussies think that the Wuhan Kung Flu bioweapon from China is anything to worry about.

Good ol' American roids will prove superior, just like they did in Rocky VII against the Commies.

Trump Tweets

Crazy Nancy Pelosi and the Radical Left Democrats were just playing “games” with the desperately needed Workers Stimulus Payments.They just wanted to take care of Democrat failed, high crime, Cities and States. They were never in it to help the workers, and they never will be!

Ands his actins today won't help Donnie much.

I am now buying into the "Trump knows he is going to lose,and is in full schorched earth mode to revenge himself upon the American People for rejecting him" theory.
"Roids " do strange things to your mind.

Hmm... Stephen Miller just tested positive.
Getting the idea the White House is a super spreader hot spot. How'd that happen? [emoji53]

Stephan Miller has the Covid virus.
I am not going to be a hypocrite;The dirty SOB desreves it, and the world will be better place if he does kick the bucket.

I'm actually impressed they've managed to shut down their brains enough to simultaneously go "covidvirus no worse than flu u get well rite away trigerd libs lololol" and "our strong hero twump beat horrible chinavirus bigly!! yuge success!"

I mean, I've seen them go from "twump's done more to fight virus than anyone!" to "of course twump can't fight virus, as president he can do nothing!", but at least they didn't say those two things at the same time.

The White House is now Prince Prospero's palace in Poe's Masque Of the Red Death...

To have cognitive dissonance, the cognitive part has to be functioning first.

Well, to quote F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The latter parts being the important ones, you don't just stop at holding two, or professing two opposing ideas. You have to functionally work to the realization of one.

I don't even think it is the roids that is the primary driver here. Who in the world is wondering, "What happened to Donald Trump? He was such a rock of stability - a stable genius if you will. Something seems to have intervened. I know! It must be the steroids!"

Trump is and has always been a petulant child who finds it hard to separate what is happening to him as what is happening in the universe in general.

The roids only keep him upright when he should be in bed recuperating.

BREAKING: FBI Agent Barnett, who was on loan to Mueller but never wiped his phone, last month told investigators the Trump-Russia "collusion" case was built "supposition on supposition" & a "dumb theory" & "there was no evidence of a crime" vs Flynn whose case used to "get Trump"

BREAKING: An FBI investigator assigned to Mueller's team said the degree of speculating and projecting and theorizing about possible Trump-Russia collusion became so absurd that he & other investigators began referring to the probe as "Collusion Clue" after the mystery boardgame

BREAKING: Records show Obama's top Russia analyst Celeste Wallander, who sat in on Brennan's 2016 "fusion cell" meetings on alleged Trump-Russia interference, has pumped $2,000 into Biden's campaign. Wallander now heads the Soros-tied US-Russia Foundation

Yeah, if he dies, I’m not going to throw a Let’s-celebrate-his-death party, but I will drink a toast to his leaving the playing field, as it were.

Think of it: The entire time that Steele's primary source Danchenko was employed at Democrat think tank the Brookings Institution he was under investigation by the FBI as a Russian spy

B/t 2009-2011, while Carter Page was acting as a CIA informant providing intel on Russia, the FBI was investigating Igor Danchenko as a Russian spy. But as soon as Page joined Trump campaign, FBI flipped the script & framed Page as the Russian spy, using Danchenko as an informant

BREAKING: When Democrat Sen Mark Warner's intelligence committee staff interviewed Sam Patten re his ties to Kilimnik, Patten denied Kilimnik was a Russian intelligence officer,to which Warner's staffer snapped: "How would you even know what an intelligence officer looked like?!"

Never before in the history of country have so many Washington elite blithely labeled a sitting president "racist" or "a Russian agent" w 0 evidence to back up such serious charges. & instead of demanding evidence,the Washington press corps just chimes in

The only poll that matters is the poll on Election Day at your polling place. #GOTV

9/ Cool. Strobe Talbott and Dekek Shearer recommends Wallander to Hillary. Interesting.

BREAKING: House investigators have now joined the Senate in requesting the FBI open a criminal investigation into possible foreign influence-peddling & embezzlement involving Joe Biden and his younger brother and son based on suspicious financial activities flagged by US Treasury

BREAKING: FBI Dir Wray insisted IG redact Footnote 334 in IG report, which revealed the FBI had previously investigated Steele dossier's primary subsource Danchenko as a suspected Russian spy. Danchenko unnamed in footnote. Concealing note merely spared FBI added embarrassment

BREAKING: New agent 302s reveal McCabe directed the Flynn investigation & may have had a conflict of interest, since McCabe had a personal grudge against Flynn for standing up for a female FBI counterterrorism supervisor who filed a sexual discrimination complaint against McCabe

BREAKING: According to 302 interview summary, FBI case agent Barnett testified that Special Counsel prosecutor Jeannie Rhee, a big Hillary supporter, was "obsessed" with Flynn & Russia and "had an agenda." He said he became concerned about a "get Trump" attitude by Mueller's team

I never understood this sentiment. Have you seen Venus lately? It is doing great. It doesn't matter what life is on the surface of the world.

Showtime's "The Comey Rule" is supposed to be based on true events yet fictionalizes key parts story:
1 Dossier originally funded by a Republican [FALSE]
2 The emails Mifsud told Papa-D Russians had were "hacked" from DNC [FALSE]
3 Flynn promised remove Russia sanctions[FALSE]

Think of it: Comey and McCabe insisted on including a dossier, whose contents came 100% from a source they'd investigated as a suspected Russian agent, in a U.S. intelligence assessment on Russia. They deliberately tainted US intel on Russia with Russian disinformation

BREAKING: Glenn Simpson has framed Trump's tweets calling his Russia dossier a "hoax" and proudly hung the gold-framed missives on the walls of his FusionGPS office in DC, even though the IG report and recently declassified documents have proved Trump right and Simpson wrong
