Well, if they want Civil War II that's the route they should take.

The good thing is that one of the potential outcomes of any negotiation with an untrustworthy client is "**** OFF".

Well.. Trump is probably using the Republican definition of negotiation, which is he gets what he wants and gives up nothing for it.

But if Trump loses, he won't be gone. He has only served one term. He can run again in 2024. He can raise money, make speeches and incite mobs for the next four years, and so can his offspring. If anything goes wrong during the Biden administration, Trump can win. And how will his cultists respond if the 2024 Democratic candidate is Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrams? If Trump doesn't run, he can throw his support behind some younger, smarter fascist like Ted Cruz or Tom Cotton. Whatever is happening now is far from over.

Less likely if he is in jail, or has fled to Moscow to escape prosecution, or he has been committed to an asylum for the terminally bewildered.

Well, that just says it all.

We should perhaps note that "Big Pharma" doesn't "give" other countries lower prices. Other countries with Universal Health Care tend to negotiate with Big Pharma, using their massive purchasing power, to make them sell at better prices.

Of course the "Businessman president" doesn't get that.





Education is a CommieNazi plot, so of course they get **** wages and have to buy their own whips to use on the students.

I AGREE

This is not just bravado by Trump: if he wins, he is a Lame Duck from day 1: Republicans will think of the post-Trump era and make sure not to distance themselves from anything too crazy.

I can’t find the EO, but this matter does, as Horatius notes, seem to demonstrate a misunderstanding of Most Favoured Nation rules. Under MFN, unless you have a registered free trade agreement, you can’t give a tariff discount to countries that export a product to you unless you give the same discount to all other non-FTA countries.

I thought I would check what the US tariffs are on medicines, choosing packaged pseudoephedrine as an example completely at random, and it seems the US has long had a zero tariff. So I’m not sure how an executive order could do anything to MFN tariffs other than increase them. Maybe import subsidies?

Trying to grab some of that sweet Bay of Pigs glory the US is renowned for.

I presume the Bay of Pigs Award is a mocking award to single out a person who proclaims support for a group but then abandons them to their death for political expedience.
If so, it entirely fitting.

Not even that. It doesn't exist at all.

What next? He'll claim he was awarded the Purple Heart that retired Lt. Col. handed him back in 2016? Or maybe the Nobel Prize that he was nominated for?

Can we set up a Bay-of-Pigs award then?

I'm thinking of a Logo with a Pig's head on a stick from Lord of the Flies.

Every time anybody mentions that -- and apparently it's in heavy rotation on Fox -- it should be noted that there are probably tens of thousands of people in the world who can submit a nomination. There are at least 318 nominees this year.

Wait!

In past years Trump couldn’t even get Jerry “I like to watch” Falwell, Jr to nominate him?

And no Republican senators would nominate him?

And he couldn’t get Ukrainian President V. Zelinski to mail his name to Oslo?

It's good to be king

The Guardian: Trump's first indoor rally since June defies Covid laws, attacks Biden

I'm going to assume that yet again, nothing is going to come of it.

Trump will be 78 in 2024 and let's face it, he's no Joe Biden. We have strong indications that his health is failing. The fight to be the heir of Trump is going to be ugly with his nits who grew into lice, former cabinet members and probably a few demagogue businessmen vying for the crown. If the Trump administration ends next year and along with it, the loss of the Senate, he's going to leave a weakened and fractured GOP.

For the entire summer, Joe Biden was SILENT as left-wing mobs assaulted police officers. When Biden’s far-left supporters set fire to police cars, precinct stations, and courthouses, Joe Biden called them “PEACEFUL PROTESTORS.” When asked if he would cut police funding, Biden...

...replied “Yes, Absolutely.” Biden calls for abolishing cash bail and closing prisons — and Biden even called law enforcement “the ENEMY.” Biden’s anti-police crusade must STOP. Furthermore, the corporations funding anti-police organizations should instead give their money...

...to the families of crime victims and fallen officers. In the Republican Party, we know that police officers are not villains, but HEROES who risk their lives to KEEP US SAFE 24/7/365!

@LouDobbs book should be an immediate buy for everyone. It is a persuasive explanation of how @realDonaldTrump, and only Trump, can lead America's already growing economy back to the historic levels pre-China virus.

Investigators?
Like Sheriff Joe and his birth certificate investigators?

What do you think the odds are that President Trump asked at least one person on his staff about setting up a secret CIA team to spy on Team Biden?

ETA
And that conversation included, “But I’m their boss. They have to do what I say”?

Must be one of the most stupid conspiracy theories ever that "they" launched a myriad investigations on the Trump campaign, but somehow forgot to even leak anything about that before the election.

What the FBI (probably the NYC office) actually leaked was that "Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia" (NYT, Oct 31st, 2016).
And the "Comey letter" of course.

But yeah, Trump is still whining in 2020 about something that actually didn't happen (or if it did, had 0 impact) in 2016.

Oh yes. But I was specifically referring to his "losers and suckers" comment. As that directly attacks something his supporters claim to love.

ETA: it plays against his "truthiness" idea.

Racism and mocking disabled people - "Everyone thinks like that, but the hypocrite libs don't dare say it out loud"
Boasting of sexual assault - "yes it was a bit crass, but again, it's just what a red-blooded man would do in that situation"

Dissing veterans - hmm

I watched as much of last night’s rally as I could stand.

Most of what I saw was doomsday demonizing of Biden.

But he also mentioned Obama “spying” on his campaign, which elicited a chant of “Lock him up!”. With Trump soaking it up.

https://youtu.be/9BAnprlmuOE

This was followed by what I think was a chant of “We love you!”, though it was hard for me to make out.

So, we’re at the point where a sitting President suggests the imprisonment of his predecessor. It’s all quite disheartening. And scary.

Maybe he conflated his Michigan Man of the Year award with the Bay City Rollers.

It was mentioned in an earlier post that he received an endorsement, not an award, from an organization called the Bay of Pigs Veterans Association.
