President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Key line from Perdue:

“The Georgia senator laid out an apocalyptic view in the eyes of Republicans if Democrats take back the Senate, warning they would seek to make Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico states, try to abolish the Electoral College, add four justices to the Supreme Court and create a ‘single-party system.’”

Fascinating, because creating a single-party system is exactly what these Republican fuckgoblins have been trying to do.

Remember when I said that I was nervous about the financial stability of the University of Alabama system? It's gotten worse.

U of A system suffers millions in losses, considers cuts

 

Someone wakes up. Maybe he understands the difference between principles and simply selling out. See if Lindsay just kept to the GOP fundamentals I would respect him. Any decent person could’ve seen the rift.

Does William F. Buckley or Goldwater or Reagan even listen to someone like Bannon? Manafort? No. See those guys had fundamentals. Graham? McConnell? No. And they will be remembered accordingly.

 

Is this how Trump finally loses? His go to plan for getting out of shit he started isn't working because people are for once focused on one thing.

All through his 2016 campaign, he misspoke or something old came back to haunt him or he stepped in it, he always had the "look over there! The media or Hillary's emails or Democrats something."

His time in office, same thing and same thing "what Russia? I didn't think th... Oh shit what's over there!?!?"

Every time we fall for it and his cult crows.

Now we're not looking over there because we've gone full Clockwork Orange and our eyes are pried open to look at the Covid mess.

 

And as illustrative of Trump's unfitness for office as the blatant lies about inauguration crowds and Tim Apple were, nobody died because of them. Trump's deliberate inaction on the coronavirus, his refusal to accept responsibility, his desperate ranting about miracle cures, his absurd pride in the response ("I'd rate it a 10") and yes his lies about all this might FINALLY wake up enough people on the other side to topple Trump in November.

 

You're right. No one should get outside, walk a course and play a sport where social distancing is basically built in. Nope. Everyone stay inside until 2021.

 

I hate to say it, but there's a core constituency of American suckers who won't be turned away from him.

No one likes to be told they were gulled, so they've dug in their heels.

And not just the idiots, but the obsessive compulsive ideologues who rebrand their ignorance as cynicism.

Add to that the bedwetting true believers and the morally inert christianists, the corporate shills and the bomb-throwing racists, the frightened and the lost and the merely selfish, the hedge fund Jareds who should know better but don't, and the ones who mistake a jobs report for democracy.

It adds up.
