TV News HQ @TVNewsHQ President Trump attacks Biden at tonight’s NC rally: "If Biden wins, China wins. It's as simple as that," and he slams @NC_Governor for not doing more to open the state's economy, as in MI and NY. "They're doing it for political reasons," says the President. “President Trump’s approval rating is at 51%. Democrats are very nervous because at this stage of the re-election for Obama he was at 48%” — Fox News’ @JesseBWatters Dan Bongino @dbongino I’ve spoken privately with the President many times. I have NEVER heard him express anything other than extreme admiration for the bravery and heroism of our military and law enforcement personnel. Rebuilding the military was always priority one for him. That story is a hit job. NYC PBA @NYCPBA "Pat Lynch, the fiery head of the NYPD’s Police Benevolent Association union, accused New York’s Democratic leaders of walking away from the city and letting violence rein in a scorching 2020 Republican National Convention speech." |

Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer I hope the press digs into this. Did Biden really have the answer to this Q pre-loaded into his teleprompter? This is why we have the press: to dig in and get answers. Quote Tweet Trump War Room - Text TRUMP to 88022 @TrumpWarRoom Joe Biden is relying on a teleprompter to answer questions: "move it up here," he tells his staff. There are long pauses between his words as he waits for the prompter to scroll. |

If you own a boat you are going to vote for Trump.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog...san_diego.html If you own an ATV you are going to vote for Trump. If you own an American pick up you are going to vote for Trump. If you own an horse you are going to vote for Trump. If you own an RV as big as a bus, Trump! If you own an shotgun you are going to vote for Trump. Not mentioning the toy like automatic weapons, the ones in the protests these days. If you own a bank you are going to vote for Trump. If you own an apartment building...etc. If you own a kayak, Biden. Bicycle, binoculars but no gun, any number of REI tents and product, Biden. |

A thorough write-up of the Trump Boat Parade fiasco on Lake Travis.
Key points: Boats were travelling too fast (or too slow), making large wake. Boats were stacked single file in an out-and-back parade route, maximizing constructive interference of the large wake to make mega-waves. Basically, these boaters have no idea how to drive their own boats. It was doomed to fail from the start, as the planned route and speed was inherently dangerous. BOAT PARADE! https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2020/09/...-wrong-speed-/

Trumpkins don't have no time for pesky things like facts or physics. Rallies can be held without social distancing or masks, and boat parades can be held without regards to maritime safety. Safety protocols are for elitist Democrats.
It's like a South Park parody of Trump and his cult. |

Who is Christian Tybring-Gjedde?
Rough notes from wiki: a member of the right wing Progress Party; anti-immigration; comes from a wealthy family.... " Tybring-Gjedde was a civil servant before he entered politics. While described by commentators as far-right and anti-immigration,[1] he identifies himself as a classical liberal, particularly on economic issues and advocates limited government intervention, reduced public spending, and tax reduction.[3] More conservative and outspoken on social and cultural issues, Tybring-Gjedde has stoked controversy on numerous occasions,[4] and has been described as a national conservative.[5] He believes immigration policy to be the single most important political issue facing Norwegian society" "He is currently estranged from his parents after a dispute over his divorce from his first wife. He is reported to have forfeited millions of NOK from the family business due to this. According to him, he is financially cut off from his original inheritance, although his father refuted this in 2013.[35] He has said that he has not met or spoken to his father for several years, and that he is open about his family having "many issues" |

For his new book, Bob Woodward has taped interviews of Trump saying in February that he knows covid will be deadly, even when he's publicly claiming it will disappear, and more.

CNN just played some of the tapes. Trump can deny he said these things that he said on tape, and some will believe him. Charles Barkley was once "misquoted" when he said something on tape.
If it hasn't happened already - a split-screen with Trump's words on one side, and Trump's words on the other side, on the same days, saying opposite things, could be interesting. |

You can hear the key parts here: https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/09/polit...rus/index.html Trump lied, people died. This is now undeniable. If you vote for Trump, you're voting for the man who decided to let hundreds of thousands of American die for no reason other than his own ego. |

A Norwegian parliamentary representative from the right wing/libertarian/anti-immigration Progress Party.
Probably the mainstream politician furthest to the right since Quisling. I probably don't need to say more. The Progress Party is the party furthest to the right in Norwegian mainstream politics. But compared to a lot of far right parties in the rest of Europe, they're somewhat moderate. Tybring-Gjedde, from Oslo Progress Party, is one of the biggest advocates of taking the party further right, making it a "patriotic lighthouse". This has taken Oslo Progress Party from being one of the biggest parties in the capital, to hovering around 5%. Those of us who are not very fond of the Progress Party wish him the best in changing the rest of his party. Needless to say, people like him absolutely adore Trump. ETA: He said he made the announcement on Fox News because Norwegian media are lying lamestream fake news. |

Well, is this gonna be the thing that topples The PDJT? (I doubt it, but I can hope.)
But it's been a heck of a week, with the denigration of the service members and this revelation that he knew and was actually privately concerned about Covid-19. That press conference with his Press Secretary was sad and laughable. I'm glad the reporters are strongly using the word "lie" without reservation now. I did wonder that myself. I'm also amazed that he was able to keep leaks from happening weeks ahead of time. The most striking thing is being able to hear the actual audio of the interviews. No getting around that for factual presentation! (But I'm sure Fox News and other idiots will do it somehow.) We also seem to be hearing more from actual people, rather than anonymous sources. I like the attribution to Dr. Fauci saying "His (Trump's) attention span is like a minus." Perhaps it's time to up his odds for removal in the White House Survivor thread. |
