President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Assuming the Secret Service has as much concern for Trump out of office as Trump had for them when he exposed them to Covid*

Russia, Brazil or China might be his best bets. The first two to get protection from their leaders and the last one because of his business ties.

*I say this with tongue firmly in cheek. The Secret Service, I presume, are far more professional and far less petty than I might be.

 

Right wing extremists / false flag / this is my shocked face, etc.

 

I wonder what the Secret Service detail is truly like for former POTUSs. I think Clinton signed a deal that caps it at 10 years, but I wonder if it's one guy, six guys, or what.
I'd almost bet Trump will dismiss them for private security because Secret Service will obey the law and not him when he gets his feelings hurt.

 

Let's see Biden win the damn thing first.

Sure, I'd like to see President Trump and his minions pay for their crimes, but that doesn't really affect my life. That is why what really matters to me is just getting that corrupt, amoral, dangerously stupid, lying jackass out of the White House.

 

Biden made a couple of mistake, being unclear about the minimum wage stuff and his ending comment about the oil industry. He should have stayed away from anything that would open him up to negativity and with just a few seconds left in the debate, he should have dodged that. He also missed jumping into a couple of openings, such as -- who built the cages vs. who put the kids in the cages. That would have shut Trump up.

It was interesting that Joe started to get pissed off. You could see his eyes narrow and he started to snarl. He was losing it, even started stuttering, but he pulled it together and finished strong.

Trump says what he wants, doesn't listen to the questions. He knows what he wants to say and says it regardless of the question. His little snide remarks after he seemed to be finished with an answer were irritating and definitely not helpful. Just added to his asshole factor.

Why do interviewers continually let him get away with his diatribe that we have more Covid cases because we test more. He's been saying that for months and is never challenged. The virus is there whether you test or not. Knowing about it would be more helpful than not knowing. Why doesn't anybody ask him if a pregnant woman doesn't take a pregnancy test, is she not pregnant?

The capper was the final question about, if he wins, what would he say during his inauguration speech to the people who didn't vote for him. His answer was to continue to attack Biden. That is hardly an inauguration speech. Clueless.

 

It's a strange culture. I grew up in Georgia, one state over, and there are radical differences. Lots of really nice people, and it's a beautiful place. It's also a bible-thumping, ass-backward, "You cain't tell me whut to do" kinda place. I married a girl from Birmingham, and that's why I wound up living here. Lots of good and bad about it.

I sometimes wonder what it's like to live somewhere with an efficient and responsive state government, a top five kinda place, instead of bottom three. Georgia, Texas, and Alabama... they're not that.

 

My guess is that there are already sealed indictments sitting in a drawer somewhere.

 

It’s comical.

 

This is my shocked face.

That's classic Trump there. Biden outlines his plans, Trump attacks them, or him, but does not announce what he'd do. Outside of the ring, he promises something will be announced in two weeks, like he recently did with health care, but nothing is announced. Time and time again. And do I really need to mention Infrastructure Week?

 

Slovenia is part of former Yugoslavia, not one of the former 15 USSR republics.

 

Biden did so you don’t have to
