MOnths ago I said that one thing that will likely influence the election is fake videos. Things are getting so good now that it will be hard to prove what is real and what is not, especially if it comes out very close to the election. There's one going around now about Pelosi where she is made to look drunk. It's not super well done, but it's making it's rounds on social media and the idiots are believing it's real. Just the beginning....mark my words.

Making the rounds as in IT WAS TWEETED BY TRUMP
On a scale of 1 to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Exactly. No matter what, if it comes from an official channel, it has some sense of legitimacy.

Question>>> Did I hear correctly that his source was Fox Business Network? It ran there first? WTF. FBN is not the first or second place I look for business feed, but that lack credibility.

Actually, that's next Friday. Then June starts on Saturday.

Not sure this is the correct thread for this conversation, though.

100% correct. When I was over in England a few weeks back, I got to witness actual "rioting" in the streets of London right near Big Ben. I got some pretty good pictures. I spent a fair amount of time talking to our tour guide about Brexit and how people over there felt about it (he was against it). We started talking about the US and I made very clear to him that I despised our president. He kind of laughed and said "I hear that quite a bit from the Americans I run into here. Makes me wonder how that idiot got elected in the first place".

I've been a little busy the last 24 hours and missed the press conference. Biblical Bovine that was some dip in the crazy pool with 'the stable genius' calling on his advisors to say nice things about his temperament.

President Trump has personally and repeatedly urged the head of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to award a border wall contract to a North Dakota construction firm whose top executive is a GOP donor and frequent guest on Fox News, according to four administration officials.

In phone calls, White House meetings and conversations aboard Air Force One during the past several months, Trump has aggressively pushed Dickinson, N.D.-based Fisher Industries to Department of Homeland Security leaders and Lt. Gen. Todd Semonite, the commanding general of the Army Corps

I am completely numb to claims of a government overstepping their bounds, especially on a non-Trump issue. Past me would have cared deeply about this, I'm sure. I don't know whether that means I have achieved a higher level of political consciousness or I have lost something critical.

There are lots of reasons not to take Rasmussen polls all that seriously, but I did notice something interesting--their recent Trump approval is -6, and keep in mind this is the most consistently Trump favorable poll out there, while in a head to head match up they have Warren beating Trump by 2 percent.(This is pretty much what all the recent polls have.) This the same sample--the first number is a tracking poll and the second represents 5000 likely voters. But, given how Warren is doing this despite the lazy as fuck media making the Warren=Hillary argument (when if you look at political history and policy positions the Biden=Hillary equation makes far more sense) this is in my view a piece of evidence that Warren really is electable.

If we go back to Warren's performance questioning the SEC's unwillingness to prosecute anyone involved in perpetuating the mortgage crisis (in my opinion, the biggest failure of the Obama Presidency is that a bunch of bankers aren't still in orange jumpsuits) rather than taking 6 figure fees from those very same banks I think the difference is rather stark.

yeh, Warren is awesome. I'm willing to have my mind changed and you did get my attention with those points, but I have trouble believing she is electable. They will make her Clinton II, even though she isn't

North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me. I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Bidan a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that's sending me a signal

Great fun and meeting with Prime Minister @AbeShinzo. Numerous Japanese officials told me that the Democrats would rather see the United States fail than see me or the Republican Party succeed - Death Wish!
