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

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."

Andy_Ross 10th October 2020 11:25 AM

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.

Trump Tweets

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!

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

In fact back in his M-19 guerrilla days he was Major Gustavo Petro! :boxedin:

Is it CASTRO-CHAVISTAS or CASTRO-CHAVISMO? CASTRO-BEVMO?!

When presidential Twitter looks like very unflattering (to say at least) parody of presidential Twitter...

Imagine some sort of historical fiction ten, or even 5 years ago presenting future POTUS that behaves like Trump. It would be considered pure unrealistic satire about something that can't ever happen in USA.

USA rots.

There are dogs not quite bright enough to figure out that each bark produces a shock. They bark, feel the shock, and then bark because they are in distress.

Plus, I think he may truly believe he is telling the truth when he makes some of his outlandish claims. He would be quite confused if he were shocked after making such claims (e.g. I have done more for black people than any president other than Lincoln (and we all know it is just a matter of time before he drops the Lincoln qualifier (we can expect the Mt Rushmore idea to be re-floated around that Same time))).

I do think he believes a lot of his lies because he's a pathological liar and he lives in an altered reality.

I've been saying for year that you guys should hire Elections Canada to teach you how to run an election properly. Letting the political parties actually be in charge of large parts of your electoral process is quite possibly the dumbest idea the US has ever had. And when you consider the amount of competition for that award, that's saying something.....

More on that subject.

Quote:

Our survey found broad public support for international election observers. More than 70% agreed or strongly agreed to allow observers, with Democrats more supportive than Republicans – 77.2% and 65.3%, respectively. We found similarly high support between those preferring Joe Biden, 74.2%, and those preferring Donald Trump, 65.2%.

At the White House farce speech, Trump was sporting a hefty plaster (UK)/bandaid (US) on the back of his right hand, the kind of thing you have after a canula is removed, only much bigger. I've had a few of those and they were pretty small.

Candace Owens' BLEXIT group pays for some attendees' travel to Trump's White House event
Quote:

Attendees were told they "must" wear a BLEXIT shirt, according to emails.

Some guests for Saturday's White House event on the South Lawn, which will be President Donald Trump's first since testing positive for the coronavirus, had their travel and lodging paid for by controversial conservative activist Candace Owens' group BLEXIT, according to emails obtained by ABC News.
More interesting stuff in the article about the anti-BLM group.

More interesting stuff in the article about the anti-BLM group.

The grift continues.

The Hitler apologist spent the afternoon on Twitter bragging that her 2,029 (her claim, no evidence given) person group were entirely peaceful, unlike the Women's March, or the various BLM rallies that have been overwhelmingly peaceful I suppose. Stunts like this would work on the sort of person that sees black people walking by their McMansions and run out improperly holding guns at the marchers, but those people are already voting for Dolt 45 anyway.

But they'll give her money for it.

(and I'll note, as always, that Blexit is a name that she stole from a Minnesota nonprofit group that supported black-owned local businesses.)

Somebody who's a few years older than me can maybe answer this.

Given that this:

https://gisgeography.com/wp-content/...ction-1972.png

is how Nixon won the election 1972 and he resigned / "You can't fire me I quit" in 1974...

How many open and proud Nixon supporters could you find in 1978-1980 or so?

shemp 10th October 2020 05:52 PM

Not many, but he didn't have a cult of personality, social media, Fox News, etc., to keep his followers in line. These morons aren't going away easily.

Beelzebuddy 10th October 2020 05:57 PM

Nixon's downfall is one contender for the trigger that set the GOP on its current path. The lesson they learned from his impeachment and disgrace wasn't "we need to have less morally bankrupt asshats," but "having standards is a poor political strategy."

Trump picks up Taliban endorsement

Quote:

President Trump's reelection bid received a vote of support Friday from an entity most in his party would reject: the Taliban.


Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told CBS News in a phone interview, "We hope he will win the election and wind up U.S. military presence in Afghanistan." The militant group expressed some concern about Mr. Trump's bout with the coronavirus. "When we heard about Trump being COVID-19 positive, we got worried for his health, but seems he is getting better," another Taliban senior leader told CBS News.

The same thing might happen with Trump. But on the other hand, Bush's popularity actually fluctuated... Rising after 9/11, and then falling when Iraq became a quagmire and the recession hit. Trump's popularity seems to be stuck in the 40% range. Its possible that the MAGAchuds will stick with him long after he leaves office.

Not many people can be endorsed by both the KKK and the Taliban.

When you add in Kim Jung-Un, Vladimir Putin, Mohammed bin Sultan, Narendra Modi, Recep Erdogan and Jair Bolsonaro, how could you not vote for him?
