Trump

[gilesgoat]

Reporter actually comes out and says it:

Also, I should, but cannot believe hes actually bought up the whole birther thing with Kamala Harris again. And as for his stance on postal votes - yes, it will be "the most corrupt election in history", Mr. President - because of you.

Mr and Mrs Scumbag have applied for postal votes in Florida - is that how they know there could be fraud? How much of the 0.025% of fraudulent mail-in ballots do you think Trump and his fellow Republicans have been responsible for?

Mailboxes being locked or physically removed already.

.. it's going to be one of the weirdest elections in the USA history probably .. expect more riots coming and "a smegload of shit" being thrown ( figuratively ) there and there ...

Incidentally, he was arrested by agents of the US Postal Inspection Service, which certainly feels like someone getting some payback.

So, Kellyanne Conway is on her way out. Rats and sinking ships, anyone?

To spend more time with her family. Including husband George, who just happens to be running The Lincoln Project aimed at unseating Trump.

Isn't her daughter also deeply ashamed to be even of the same bloodline or something?

Her dad is equally rabidly anti-Trump, and reportedly the 15-year-old daughter asked for "emancipation" from the two of them this weekend, and he has also left his post. So i guess it's a case of everyone getting their heads out their arses in order to look after something that's actually important in life.

Also, Trump has the worst polling of any President ever at this point in the campaign.

I mean, what with Brexit and Trump getting in, in the first place, then we've all learnt to be wary of calling the outcome of a poll before it's done...

But there's the logic of leaving now, as there's nothing to gain, when he's surely going to lose. Quitting whilst one is ahead. Not getting dragged down by this shit show, for the sake of an orange man who's very likely going to lose miserably anyway.

One sucks up to these arseholes, in politics, to gain power and status - yeah, that's looking like an unlikely outcome. So fuck him.

.. Goat will not but ... "what if he really wins again" ???

.. Goat will not but ... "what if he really wins again" ???

That's a very real possibility. Before the 2019 election, everywhere you looked the Tories were dying on their arses. Labour was storming ahead in the public's eye. Twitter, FB, Insta et al were all screaming that they (the Tories) were going to be massively eliminated.

And look what happened. You can read as much news as you like, that all says he's polling worse than ever, that he's said this or that lie, done this or that thing to the USPS, it doesn't matter. It's impossible to call.

You know that if he wins again he'll push really hard for the law to change so he can be re-elected "infinite times" ?





.. then it's going to happen like in Russia/Belarus .. "always the same voting results" .. ..

That is not how I recall things at all. Indeed, I switched my vote from LibDem to Labour to ward off the Conservative threat despite being in a Labour stronghold. Perhaps we were interacting with different chambers of Facebook (I read little on Twitter and do not use Instagram).

That's almost certainly the case. From my POV, it was the opposite - and I guess that's the danger of social media as it stands.

There are two problems at play here, 1. is that social media creates "hype" before that is verified to be true or not or not so true but partially true, 2. the fact that is really hard at times to get "the real facts" to verify the information

I treat just about everything on social media as nothing more than people's opinions anyway. Plus I tend to question everything, including myself and my reactions to what I read. I get most of my news from the Grauniad (I would probably use the Torygraph as well were it not for its paywall) and Beeb sources such as its news site and its news-based panel shows.
