President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Just so very Trump that the most devastating aspects of the fallout are losing his twitter account and losing pga tournaments

 

Still amazed at the utter stupidity of a guy who claimed he was the smartest guy in any room.
He actually might have won the Presidency if he does two very simple things:
1. Takes the virus threat seriously, and not as a threat to his chances of reelection, and also tells everyone to wear a mask (which all of his lemmings would have done, because, hey, Donald told us to).
2. Encourages his followers to vote by mail, instead of fighting it. Georgia Secretary of State already said if GOP voters in that state had voted by mail at the same level that Democrats did, Trump win the state.
That was it. Without lifting a finger, he wins.
That's probably half the reason for his hissy fits: he knows he blew it, and it was all because he had to be the biggest asshole in the room.

 

Actually, if he had selfishly treated the virus as a danger to his presidency and not to actual Americans, he might have acted in a way that could have helped.

 

Department of Defense has opened 25 terror investigations. Initially reported as investigation of troops, they have backed that down to "persons".

25 people under investigation for terrorism related to riot at Capitol

 

Vote on impeaching Trump for the second time coming Wednesday. One week after the terrorists attempted a coup on behalf of their cult leader.

 

Keep these big events happening on my off day: Insurrections, impeachments, inaugurations . . .

 

Many members of the mob complaining against cancel culture are the same ones who were trying to get Howard Stern off the air 30 years ago because he said “penis” and “vagina.” Or protesting against Ice-T because of “Cop Killer.”

 

Wonderful piece. Dahlia Lithwick.

The American Abyss

 

I know you are playing out the string, but I am so glad I left the business. Wish I’d gotten out pre-Trump because it’s been all insanity and clickbait since he descended the escalator.

 

If people think posting this is Hat Guying the board, I'll delete. I just thought it was too ridiculous not to share.

 

Those troops who are still being investigated are screwed if they are found to actually have engaged in terrorist acts. Not that a normal person isn't but still

 

No one talks anymore about Cruz snubbing Trump at the 2016 election. I’m wondering if that was all a ruse to make for a better TV show.
