This says it all that Trump is only interested in his own reelection, not trying to make the election process benfit all Americans.. and his supporters have no issues with his authoritarian style

He does everything right out in plain sight, his party and AG protect him, so at this point he probably could shoot someone on 5th ave and get away with it.

I'd start a thread but I've been canceled

Some people are starting to expose Tweety for what he is

Can you think of another moment in history when members of the sitting President’s staff came forward to tell Americans that it was in the country’s best interest to vote for the other guy?

Because that’s what’s happening right now.

So either Trump is really up to something and the Postal Service is a legitimate point of concern. Or it’s a baseless conspiracy because Trump is so mentally unstable that no one should take his words seriously.
Pick one.

Newt was actually on a local radio station this morning discussing this among other topics. He's really starting to sound a lot like Rudy to be honest. Newt actually said the USPS has not said they won't be able to deliver ballots on time. I was waiting for the host to politely remind him actually they've warned 46 states they might not be able to...

Trump loves the American worker unless one posts something he doesn’t like, so he now is asking his loyal minions to boycott Goodyear tires.

That’s only because he’s fighting for American workers.

I'm starting to doubt that the guy who paid $290,000 to have sex twice is actually the genius deal-maker he claimed to be.

Come on he has reached out to the my pillow guy to help with our Covid cure, how can you not trust that kind of wisdom.

Trump is pulling out all the fear cards, now he wants to use law enforcement as polling place watchers.

Trump won’t be doing this because it’s unlawful, 18 USC 592, he can’t even station FBI Agents or US Marshals at polling places. But the message here is loud & clear, as is the dog whistle.

This will backfire just like his Post Office scheme did.

I've heard that Antifa will be providing polling security in Warwick.

Anyone know a family where a sibling would talk so badly about another sibling as the trumps do?

As I said, you're a better person the I. I do have a much larger than average "circle" of aquaintances that are not necessarily "friends," but have known them well enough to have witnessed their family dynamics.

I does give me a broad insight into how varied and often quixotic human nature can be, and, even so, how wrong it can be to quickly dismiss flawed humans as being dysfunctional, or incompetent because of quirks and flaws in their personalities, or in their circle of friends and family. Some of the quirkiest, flawed, even errant, people I've met have been among the most brilliant in intellect and competent in their special fields or endeavors.

PaulS 08-23-2020 07:53 PM

Good thing we have a long history of actions and statements of our president to see how flawed he is and that he is neither competent nor brilliant

As good, and competent and brilliant person that you are, in this case you are wrong.

The Republican National Committee will go without a traditional policy platform at the upcoming GOP convention, and said instead it “will continue to enthusiastically support the president’s America-first agenda.”

So the takeover of the Republican Party is complete.
All that remains is to change the name
Congratulations

If you took those rose colored glasses off, you might see the harm he has done, your response is as predictable as the direction the sun is coming up. People and this country will survive the Trump storm should it come at us for another four years, the damage done to the environment, relations with our allies and faith in our justice system will take decades to recover.

Four more years if you want to live on Trump Island instead of the United States and if the wording is changed from we the people to we the trump family.

This is no longer about politics is it?
This is about fealty to and adulation of a single person. No ideas or beliefs other than his. No accountability other than to him: Republicans to forego party platform in favor of full support for his agenda.
When a political party votes to have no political platform other than enthusiastically supporting its leader, it's no longer a political party. It's a cult.
Over time parties taken over by authoritarians lose identity apart from the leader- their resources and time are monopolized by the need to defend him no matter what he says or does.

You keep putting words in mouths that didn't speak them. It's an essential propaganda trick. "Republican National Committee members voted to extend the party's 2016 platform through 2024."

The GOP does have a political platform.

G.O.P. Platform, Rolled Over From 2016, Condemns the ‘Current President’

To capture the spirit of a convention held by a party now fully prostrate before its leader, Trump should insist on speaking each night from a replica of the balcony of the Palazzo Venezia.

So now that we've established that you told yet another lie, and the Repubs do have a platform, and after ragging on the G.O.P. for being a cult, you note something in it that you like. Something that belies your accusation that it "is about fealty to and adulation of a single person. No ideas or beliefs other than his. No accountability other than to him". Perhaps you should read the platform that you said doesn't exist, and you might be surprised to find traditional Republican stuff in it instead of your portrayal of the party losing its identity other than being some personification of Trump

To capture the spirit of a convention held by a party now fully prostrate before its leader, Trump should insist on speaking each night from a replica of the balcony of the Palazzo Venezia.

Or from the podium at the Reichstag. You do have these visions of Trump as Hitler or Mussollini. Actually, he prefers hugging the American flag.

Fixed it for you

This reality TV President is a barking carnival clown
What other incumbent has ever run on "crime is up since I got elected, re-elect me because I say the other guy will make it worse"?
