Did I miss the election?

She introduces legislation to form a commission to look into Trump's mental health.

ETA: Pure race baiting.

More projection than all of the AMC Theaters combined.

"President Donald Trump falsely claimed in an interview on Thursday night that Virginia governor Ralph Northam "executed a baby".

"He doesn't want to talk about it. But he [Joe Biden] endorsed the Virginia governor [Ralph Northam] who ... executed a baby," Mr Trump, 74, told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

"[Mr Northam] executed a baby ... the baby can be born, and then you can kill the baby. And he's totally in favour of that," he added."

Is the numpty actually referring to something specific that happened or is this just something else he pulled from his rectum?

I think it refers to floating the idea that parents who give birth to a child with minimal chances of survival should have to choice to hold the child while it is dying right after birth, instead of putting it straight into an incubator where they won't be able to touch it, perhaps ever.

The whole executing babies/aborting after birth nonsense that Trump has babbled about in the past comes from a policy in which, when a child is born with a medical condition that is incurable and almost immediately lethal, the parents will be able to hold their child as it dies, rather than it being placed on ultimately useless life support which prevents them from ever touching their child.
I'm assuming something related to that took place in Virginia.

EDIT: Governor Northam also apparently received some flak over proposed legislation that would allow third trimester abortions of nonviable pregnancies that endangered the mother including "the tragic and extremely rare case in which a woman with a nonviable pregnancy or severe fetal abnormalities went into labor." This got turned into "legalizing infanticide".

In case anyone was wondering—Donald Trump did not win the the Nobel Peace Prize.

No, whatever his (obviously non-existing) merits, once Christian Tybring-Gjedde nominated him, it was nailed. The Nobel committee could not afford the scandal of awarding a Christian Tybring-Gjedde nominee.

They have had enough troubles as it is.

Well, no, Northam never 'executed" any babies, and Trump isn't actually meaning that he did (Trump has talked about it a lot without making that claim). It's just that he mispoke.

Nominally, that's not an issue, it happens. But for someone who is putting their eggs in the basket of "my opponent's speech gaffs are signs of dementia" it matters.

But Trump totally won the Noble Peace Prize - he never wanted the Nobel Prize in the first place because it looks kinda like sour grapes.

This clinches it. There is NO way I'm voting for Hillary in this election.

Secretary Pompeo tells Fox he’s working to get more of @HillaryClinton’s emails out before the election.
PERINO: Will that happen before the election?
POMPEO: Doing it as fast as we can. I certainly, I certainly think there'll be more to see before the election

I think Hillary should make that announcement:

Considering the activities of Secretary Pompeo, I think it would be wise that you do NOT vote for me this election. Please vote for Joe Biden instead.

President @realDonaldTrump on the Rush Limbaugh Show: I am totally for protecting pre-existing conditions

I think you accidentally posted this in the wrong thread. It belongs in the "Trump has a severe mental illness thread" thread. :D

Ronna McDaniel tweeted

@GOPChairwoman
Don’t believe Joe Biden’s lies, @realDonaldTrump and Republicans will always protect pre-existing conditions.

Somewhat ironically, it is more than a little bit likely that far fewer deaths would have resulted from a head-on collision by the Titanic into that iceberg. If nothing else there would probably have been more time for rescuers to get there and get people off the ship safely, and it is not beyond the realm of possibility that she wouldn't have sunk at all.

The sideswipe of her collision opened up five of her eight watertight compartments, just above her keel. She had been designed to stay afloat with four of them intact. A head-on collision might have only breached two or three, and probably not more than four.

And she was already going at just about her top cruising speed, so the passengers yelling would have made little difference.

Maybe this Trump debacle will shake up the country enough to knock some sense into the people who have been loudly and strenuously demonstrating their utter lack of it, but I am not very sanguine about that prospect. The type of people who are abetting and supporting Trump show little capacity for learning from their mistakes.

No, the mass and inertia involved would have almost certainly damaged the hull where the bulkheads are and caused leaks in even more compartments.

Basically the front 1/3 of the ship would have squeezed together like an accordion between the iceberg and the boilers/engine compartment.

A lot of sleeping passengers would have been thrown against a wall like ragdolls.

No.

Discussing Titanic in Trump presidency thread now ?
Sounds about right .. :)

How? What's the actual damn plan? You guys have had four years in the White House, and the first two years after Trump's election with a majority in the House, to come up with something concrete; and the best you've done is an Executive Order that just states that it should be government policy to protect pre-existing conditions, while simultaneously pushing a lawsuit that would kill the only law that actually does protect them. That EO won't cut it, much as you'd like your dim-witted followers to believe that that's all it really takes- you need to pass a law.

Believe our lies instead!

This is exactly what it refers to - it's essentially using tragedy to enrage anti-abortion extremists. "I knew it, they want to kill babies!!!"

Of course not, and he should not do so.

The real secret here - Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize in his first year as president, and Dolt 45 wants one based on his thinking "Me Trump am greatest president much better than Negro Obama!" This explains why he continues to whine and cry about it, while Obama has almost never mentioned it.

Of course, Obama's Nobel was not earned through his actions to that point, which he himself noted in his acceptance speech. And his favorite thing in the White House during his presidency was apparently not the Nobel Prize, it was a photo of himself bending down so a little black boy could feel his hair and realize that they're the same.

To paraphrase a quote attributed to Harriet Tubman about slavery:

Trump, “I saved over 2 million lives! Actually I could have saved 8 million more if I had bothered to lift my fat finger and had done anything, anything at all to fight this disease.”

Calculated based on Trump’s “logic” and USA covid-19 mortality rates versus those of almost any other 1st or 2nd world country.

Trump Jr calls for 'army' of supporters to 'protect ballots'

arrest him for indicting a riot.
As well as anyone showing up near a polling place with a weapon.

He needs to be careful with this. He just took one as medicine

Not a lawyer.
But my reading of the laws leads me to suspect that getting that change to stick would be a difficult row to hoe. If he said it on the morning of Election Day, it might be different. I’m not sure because I am not a lawyer.

I am sure that it is a reckless, stupid, and dangerously ambiguous thing to say. Unless, of course, one is deliberately trying to eff up an election, in which case it is precisely the right thing to say.

I think you are right that the difference is that it is not yet election day - it's only a crime if it calls for immediate violence.
For their own sake, the Trumps should hand their phones to their lawyers on election day.

I think Trump might be talking about Northam supporting a bill that only allowed third trimester abortions in case of a non-viable fetus or severe deformation. He stipulated that if a delivery should occur during the procedure the baby should be resuscitated if the mother or parents wished it.

Mexico might have the best chance - after the Republicans strategically sabotage border defenses and give directions to Mexicans to invade as part of a political strategy, then proceed to utterly f up their attempts at defending the country because of rank incompetence and continued sabotage after seeing how inflamed and engaged America becomes.

Destroy the protections in court. Say "See? That was illegal all along. Here, let's do something not illegal," which just happens to be returning to insurance companies denying or charging massively more for coverage of people with pre-existing conditions.

I don't believe you. How is that a secret?



Elsewhere...

Lindsey Graham explains Blacks 'can go anywhere ... you just need to be conservative not liberal'

:eye-poppi

Interesting claim. Is this him admitting that "conservatives" are actively hostile to everyone else, especially liberals, in his attempt to spin brazenly on the subject?

Elsewhere, Trump really is advertising in California, apparently.

In the usual Trump Admin horror show corruption manner - The Trump administration got caught siphoning millions from the 9/11 Fund, but won’t give it back

They do have the money to spend more than that, though, in trying to make themselves look good. :rolleyes:

Also, in an... umm... more interesting tale than usual involving highly unethical behavior and reasonably likely to be criminal deed -

The mystery of a GOP congressman's seemingly rent-free campaign office

Ethics experts say Rep. Jim Hagedorn may have violated federal election law.

Long story short, there's multiple conflicting stories about a space that, at the least, no longer exists and no rent was ever paid for, but is still being claimed as the location where the Republican's campaign office is.

Remember how Trump singlehandedly dealt with North Korea, solving the problem forever?

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-n...KBN26V01K?il=0

On the big Military parade, North Korea displayed their ICBM, the one already tested, new versions for launch from submarines as well as a new ICBM described by experts as "a Monster", possibly the largest road-portable ICBM in the world.

Has he gotten the Nobel peace prize yet?

FTFY

President Trump is so childish that if you managed to give the “should hand over their cell phones” thing legs and got it into national media, then Trump would try to be even crazier on Election Day.

ETA
I’d love to see what would happen if one could get MSM talking heads to all day, “President Trump does not have the authority to sell the White House furniture and pocket the money. And he certainly does not have the authority to sell the Obama portrait that he refuses to hang.”

I don’t think this particular quote appeared in this thread

Campaign rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Sept. 19.

“ Can you believe it, in one week they nominated me, not for one, but for two Nobel prizes. But you know, you have a president, you love your president, and your president gets honored, because I’m not being honored, you’re being honored with the Nobel Peace Prize, for Israel, what we did with Israel.”

I think it’d be hard to pick the 10 stupidest things he has said since 2015.


ETA
It’d be hard to pick the 10 stupidest things he has said since January 1.

He got the Nobel piss prize in 2017.

It’d be hard to pick the 10 stupidest things he has said today.

The governor needs to sue for slander and make a big fuss doing it.

Trump begins his first post-coronavirus diagnosis speech by telling his adoring fans at the White House, "we gotta vote these people into oblivion. Into oblivion. Gotta get rid of 'em. So bad for our country."

"I have done more for the black community than any president since Abraham Lincoln. Nobody can dispute it. Nobody can dispute it. Nobody can dispute it."

Trump claims the coronavirus is "disappearing," then says the situation in the US isn't that different from elsewhere, "very big flareup in Canada."
Canada had about 2,500 new coronavirus cases on Friday, US had more than 58,000.

Trump on mail voting: "I think we're gonna swamp 'em by so much hopefully it's not gonna matter, and we have law enforcement watching."

I'm starting to think that the U.S. should have election monitors of the sort associated with emerging democracies.

I'm starting to think that the US needs a kindergarten teacher to supervise the president at all times to make sure he doesn't hurt himself with the child scissors during craft time.

Joe Biden is a PUPPET of CASTRO-CHAVISTAS like Crazy Bernie, AOC and Castro-lover Karen Bass. Biden is supported by socialist Gustavo Petro, a major LOSER and former M-19 guerrilla leader. Biden is weak on socialism and will betray Colombia. I stand with you!

Congratulations to former President @AlvaroUribeVel, a hero, former recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and an ally of our Country in the fight against CASTRO-CHAVISMO! I will always stand with our Colombian friends!

La Calabaza se ha vuelto loca.

I think Trump needs one of those horrible shock collars they use for dogs. Every time he lies, he gets shocked.

The cost of the batteries would bankrupt the country

But think of the jobs! The factories we'd have to build just to make the batteries alone would create thousands of jobs.
