Trump

[Foozwah]

Trump campaign ad to "support our troops".

Slight problem, lads. The planes are MIGs and one of the soldiers is sporting an AK-47.

Not a mistake so much as accidental truth in advertising, given his lapdog subservience to Putin.

We keep thinking "there's really a chance he may win a second term" .. where we expect "explosions and turmoil" is if it turns out one of those situations a la' "49/51" .. each one of them will claim "there's a mistake/hacking/whatever in the votings" and won't accept the results ..

.. waiting to see the chaos to happen ...

My first reaction is to wonder what a "comittee" is.

On a debatably related note, I have recently been playing Stellaris and have discovered and claimed the Covfefe system.

I didn't spot that. Good eye.

Well, Ruth Bader-Ginsburg finally succumbed to her cancer. Expect a shitstorm as trump tries to muscle in an anti-abortion ultra-right-winger before the election in order to whip up support from the evangelicals and fundamentalists.

Damn. I was hoping she would stay around past the end of the year. I do wonder, though, how the Senate will argue against its own decision four years ago, which blocked the then President's nomination to replace a newly deceased SC justice on the grounds that the nomination was made in an election year (eight months, not less than seven weeks, before the election).

[Mayhem]

I think the word you are looking for is hypocrisy...

So, how long until Roe v Wade is overturned?

[merman]

About time the Supreme Court/top judicial appointments decisions were taken away from politicians globally, not just the US.

Guess who isn't planning on going gently into the night?

Its been reported that Trump stated at a rally that Coronavirus has affected "virtually no-one"; the full version is a little bit more complex but still absolutely horrifying:

Trump said coronavirus "affects elderly people, elderly people with heart problems and other problems. If they have other problems, that's what it really affects. That's it."

.. even if that is so or would be so one should say "People that would probably NOT even be in a hospital NOR DIE if there would be NOT ANY Covid-19 around !!"

Trump briefly paused before adding, "It affects virtually nobody."

.. and we are getting very close to 1 MILLION of deaths in the whole world ...

He also doubled down on previous claims that young people are "virtually immune,"

Ok .. at this point THE REAL PROBLEM IS : IS ANYONE GOING TO VOTE *AGAIN* such a person with those statements ?!

Because the answer is "YES THEY WILL" .. THAT IS AN EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM THAN CORONAVIRUS !!!

In this case maybe we could "use that sentence" and modify it as "Viruses don't kill people, people kill people" ...

Who's really "more responsible" ? The virus ? Or the people ? Who made who first ? Batman ? Or the Joker ?

Not that its much of a surprise, but Trump is undergoing some - ahem - taxing times at present:

While Channel 4 has now obtained data suggesting that the Trump campaign and Cambridge Analytica tried to manipulate millions of black people into not voting for Clinton four years ago.

Secret effort allegedly focused on 16 swing states, several narrowly won by Trump after the black Democrat vote collapsed

This just after the man who hired CA for the job, Brad Parscale, was hospitalised after barricading himself inside his home with a stash of weapons threatening "to harm himself".

This New York Times article reveals two things:

Trump is not a billionaire businessman, he's a fraud manipulating the system.

He has a MOUNTAIN of debt, with $400 million in loans due to be paid back over the next four years. Being in huge debt to a foreign company (Deutsche Bank) should disqualify him.
