This is fake news. He was asked about his plans for the next term and gave an answer:

;)

That stupid bitch better have a good back-up plan. She's going to be radioactive come January. I'm assuming her plan is to work on whatever the Trump's media network will be. That will likely fail like everything else Trump does.

Of course there isn't.

I've said it before, no real, actual healthcare plan that is an alternative to what we have now exists in secret.

There are healthcare models available in the world. They are present in places like "think tanks" and academic journals. They have been argued about and debated by lots of people, with their strengths and weaknesses addressed. These are developed by smart people with expertise in this area, and the same is the case for the critics.

If there were some awesome new model that could replace our current system, and cover everyone and do it cheaper, there would be people talking about it all over the place.

There is no way in hell that Ivanka and Jared have solved it, and there is no way in hell that if they had, they would be hiding it away.

"Who knew healthcare could be so complicated?"

Besides everyone.

Is Trump going to announce peace between Canada and the US next week?

Only the best people, part xxxiv.

Top HHS official takes leave of absence after Facebook rant on CDC conspiracies

I think this could actually help the Democratic candidate, though. Because it's a strategy, and some people might think it's clever, and want to have clever people running the government. Dems aren't scheming enough, IMO - enough, that is, to counteract the snake**** tactics of the right.

I like that the Republicans think the Democrats have found a black woman to act as a sleeper agent to turn on blacks and women when she gets in power.

No Republicans finding the one member of a minority demographic that hates that demographic to parade about is your skill, not theirs.

I posted this in another thread. It's 20 years old and Trump is still saying the same old ****. And that run for POTUS in 2000? Maybe he will and may be he won't.

Well, why not he evidently had taken leave of his senses.


Why the heck would Trump have cause "to stand down at the inauguration" unless he lost? The previous assertion of Biden simply not conceding to a loss just doesn't cut it. It just came across to me as expecting Trump to lose and not "stand down".


Two of my Trump supporter coworkers binge on this koolaid and are discussing how they are arming themselves for their expected fan/excrement interface.

Biden speaking today

“Folks, the president's first responsibility is to protect the American people, and he won't. It's utterly disqualifying.”

“Let me be clear: I trust vaccines, I trust the scientists, but I don't trust Donald Trump. At this moment, the American people can't, either.”

Biden responds to Trump blaming him for the lack of a national mask mandate by correctly pointing out that Trump is in fact the president

Biden points out the President suggested injecting bleach and nuking hurricanes

But then, who among us hasn’t?

Fake News!! He suggested injecting disinfectant. He never specifically said bleach. ;)

Seems pretty easy for Biden when the President says insane things about him. He just has to point out that he is not the President and doesn't say insane stuff.

Trump does seem to make it easy for Biden, to be sure. It's like being the sibling of a bully who respects no rules or boundaries and has no respect or compassion for anyone around them. All their sibling has to do is act like your average kid and they'll come across as a little angel to their parents.

I do think there's a lot to be said about Biden having a lot to gain from simply sitting reasonably still and not drawing too much attention to himself. Never interrupt your opponent while they're making a mistake, but be sure to point it out to everyone afterwards.

Trump again uttering an antisemitic trope. :mad:

Imagine Omar or Tlaib saying Israel is the country of the American Jews.
Pundits on CNN, MSNBC, ... would dedicate at least two news cycles to it.

But Trump? Yawn ...

A catalog of Trump's lies yesterday:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...line_manual_16

Her chicken-**** answer to the question about the Trump re-tweet which suggested Biden is a pedophile was "I'd have to refer you to the campaign, I'm not here to talk about Joe Biden."

Except when she does

An uplifting article from the Norwegian evening post: the US is delivering on climate, despite Donald Trump
(small note: in the header of the first post, GT for some reason translated the Norwegian word for 'coal' to 'litter'.

rump said he would have a bill on day 1
In July 2020 he said he would sign a plan at the end of July
In August he said he would have a plan by the end of August
Yesterday he said the plan is ready
Today, you need to work for the WH to see the plan

Tomorrow, you need to work at the White House for two weeks.

It's difficult to find people who last that long.

Trump just now "governors are the biggest threat to this election".
"I will put down any riots that interfere with this product, er, election."
"Governors are a worse threat to this election than foreign government interference"

Perhaps she was referring to the high employee turnover rate of the WH, and suggesting that eventually the entire population of the US will have worked there at some point.

Like Gov. Kemp of Georgia? Or maybe he does the "good" kind of interference?

AG Barr rages against mail ballots, Democratic "socialists."

Funny (not) how that always becomes the utmost concern when a politician ***** up so badly.

Trump is again claiming he read Woodward's book "last night." This is the second day in a row that Trump has claimed he spent the previous night reading a 480-page book "very rapidly."

The vaccine and distribution will be powerful, so powerful, extremely power. Power that will project power. Powerful, tremendously powerful. Soon.

Masks are touchy, they touch things, they touch you, very touchy things, masks.

Nobody reads faster than Trump. He reads so fast that the words don't register in his brain so he has to do it all again.

Of course, he means only Democrat governors. And RINO governors.

I'm surprised it wasn't "very strongly" or "very bigly".

I feel bad for the family members he's going to spend more time with. The don't deserve that.

To poke at a couple things -

Looks like there have been some more findings about DeJoy's performance.

For example, Elsewhere -

Barr tells U.S. attorneys to 'get aggressive' and charge protesters with sedition

Yeah, they're still not even trying to hide their Fascistic tendencies.

Well, that would be a nice change from him declaring us to be a threat to US national security.

Clearly all that Canadian 'politeness' is a threat!

Funny how the leave of absence puts him out of the way until just after the election.

Distinction without a difference.

At this point, Trump is triggering one primary emotion in me:

boredom.

There is nothing actually new, nothing surprising about what he does.

The man has spent his life trying to convince people he has no idea what the phrase “appropriate response” means.

“What? The media reported my inclusion of Alabama, I need to send out angry tweets for five days. Oh, and get the top government weather guy to make a map or report showing that I was correct.” I think it was day 4 that he asserted that everyone who criticized him for including Alabama should apologize to him.

Why should he, don't you remember how against Clinton he was perfect, as Trump will have said "sir, how are you so amazing at debates, I've never seen anyone debatingly bigly like you did!"

And yet, because he didn't actually soil himself on live TV, the consensus was that he performed far better than expected. With expectations set that low, it's easy to see how he can exceed them.

In any case, even though there was a general agreement (though by no means a consensus) that Hillary beat him in the debates, it didn't seem to affect his support at all.

Why bother to prepare in depth for debates when you intend to ignore inconvenient questions and instead parrot your favourite catch phrases throughout ?
