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

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

I will have you know that I received a Noble Fir Christmas Tree last December from my wife for my peace keeping between my sons! I was very proud.

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.

I think he already has one. Weren’t the shocks what people falsely interpreted as coughs?

Ever seen the movie "Idiocracy"?

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.

No. But I heard POTUS guy that was there is infinitely better than Trump.

"There must have been at least a half a million people there!" (Note: not a real quote. Yet.)
More like about 400.
(eta -- I wondered if cropping the original picture would make it look like more people. Not really.)

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.

ABC News has confirmed that attendees to Trump WH Rally were paid.

All of them !?

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.

No. Some of them had they're travel expenses and lodging paid for my Blexit which is Candace Owen's group.

A nice change form the Hitler Bunker references...

Well they obviously got free T-shirts and hats so that adds to the evidence.

Candace Owens' BLEXIT group pays for some attendees' travel to Trump's White House event
More interesting stuff in the article about the anti-BLM group.

Is that the one thing driving doctors mad?

Like all toddlers, he wouldn't stop playing with it.

I wonder if some of his followers will look back in ten or twenty years and realize how easily they were played like a fiddle?

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?

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.

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."

Remember how hard it was to find anyone who voted for Bush by late 2008?

Trump picks up Taliban endorsement

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.

:dl:

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?

Strange bedfellows indeed.

Sadly true.

There was a day when that would have been the kiss of death for any presidential candidate, much less a Republican one. Now? Whoddathunkit? Strange days.

See? He's everyone's friend! He's building relationships across the board with people past American presidents woud never even talk to! Nobel! Nobel! Nobel!

I'd say it helped cement the view that the only sin is being caught.

And with Trump it's now cemented the view that there isn't sin at all.

It's like how no one on these forums support Trump anymore ;) .

I want to wait and see who Hitler comes out for. I was really counting on that 2nd Debate…

I was just watching Superman: Red Son, an animated adaptation of the Elseworlds comic in which Superman's rocket landed in the Soviet Union in the 40s instead of Kansas. At one point, Communist Superman tells Lois Lane "The press is the enemy of the people." That sounds really familiar. I'm sure I've heard it somewhere else recently, but I can't quite recall where.

It's from that USA scripted "reality" show that started in 2016, I hear its ratings have dropped so probably won't get renewed this fall.

Dang his hand is so pale, looks like he was sanding Sheetrock.

What was it he said the other week 'I'm a senior too, people don't know that.'.

Right, with all the 'senior moments' you have, like people could forget.

Latest article from NY Times reveals how Trump set up a massive and highly organized system of influence pedaling in exchange for campaign donations and direct payouts to Trump and his family.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...gtype=Homepage

Memberships at Mar-a-Largo (at $250,000 a year), booking rooms or affairs or parties at his hotels, and lavish spending for food and drinks at either bought corporate big wigs the chance to pigeon hole Trump and tell him about the gifts Santa should bring them for Christmas.

Often Trump would then turn to one of his stooges and tell them to work on it.

The size of the operation, and the direct links of payouts to Trump and his businesses (rather than “just” political donations) is unprecedented. Trump”s properties, especially Mar-a-Lago, served as the money laundering banks and the meeting hubs for the whole scheme.

Some of the deals never fully went through (reflecting Trump’s consistent willingness to screw even his clients IMO). A few of the back and forth dealing fell more into the traditional “pay a donation in exchange for the ear of a politician”). I am certain Trump apologists will try to focus on these to claim “everyone does it” or that it does not reek enough to prove it is massive corruption. But if you look at the money going directly to the Trump businesses and the scale and organization of the scheme, it is clear that rather than drain the swamp Trump reversed the connection and pumped the cess pool into the swimming pool.

The article is probably paywalled but I imagine the info will begin to appear at other news sites. Or just buy a subscription; newspapers can’t survive on air.

Just another week ..

Ten or twenty years? Heck they could just look back 4 to 5 years ago where he literally told them 'I'm just telling you what you want to hear'.

History Is on the Side of Republicans Filling a Supreme Court Vacancy in 2020 - in anticipation of this week, vital lesson from @baseballcrank

It takes 2 things to appoint a justice: POTUS's nomination and Senate majority approval. In 2016, if Dems had the latter, Obama would've gotten 3d justice. That would not have been 'packing.' Dems didn't have it, and Obama therefore didn't get 3d. That's how Const'l system works.

Whatever the number, it will be smaller than the number of followers who will go to their graves believing that they helped save America from the gun-grabbing, baby-killing socialists (who are the real racists) intent on destroying the most wonderful nation in the history of the world.

This made me chuckle. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...71f0ebe475.jpg

This is unbelievable. AP has gone around the bend... https://apnews.com/article/election-...0fc0e2c3829571

I fail to see what was Fake News in the AP article. Was there no debate? Did it report something that neither Daines nor Bullock said? I saw no bias in the article. It seemed to be a rather factual account of what each candidate said.

You have to consider the tweet source: A deranged drugged-out senile old lunatic.

I'm sorry. I plead momentary insanity.
