Maybe they've finally woken up to their own role in promoting his toxic agenda, like Twitter did.

Q: "Mr. President, at that rally when you said you asked your people to slow down testing, were you just kidding, or do you have a plan to slow down testing?"

Trump: "I don't kid."

Another perfect Biden ad clip, beautiful.

Also:
"I know for sure that, to my knowledge, none of us have ever been told to slow down on testing," Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a House hearing when asked about Trump's comments. "That just is a fact. In fact, we will be doing more testing."

I think that song and that visual makes Trump look far too sympathetic. Even the Krusty version.

I agree. Trolling is not an effective persuasion technique... it just makes supporters feel good.

Saw some of the people walking around Arizona. The guy in the orange wall suit and tie shows up everywhere Trump goes. These folks are real fans (cultists). I think there are a bunch of these groupies who travel "with" Trump. Its an odd lifestyle.

If you google "trump wall orange suit guy" he shows up all over the US. His first stop might have been PA.

He’s a fucking dipshit of the highest order.


He only cares about reelection. This is aligned with that end.



They already agreed to win the election for him. He will owe another authoritarian government when this is over. He's now just running cover, which he didn't do with Russia and he paid for it. His handlers are learning.

I'm sure he'll consider it while he's trying to sell books. There's no way he does it, imo. If he wanted to do the right thing, he could have done so a long time ago.

Prepare for a Biden Landslide(From National Journal)

Josh Kraushaar: “Right now, it looks more likely that Biden will win a landslide victory, picking up states uncontested by Democrats in recent elections, than it is that Trump can mount a miraculous turnaround in just over four months. Even as Trump tries to advance a law-and-order pitch amid growing violence and tumult in the nation’s cities, it’s unlikely to benefit the president because he’s the leader in charge. The chaos candidate is now the chaos president. Biden is the challenger pledging a return to normalcy.”

“Just look at the swing-state map: Biden is leading in every battleground state, according to the RealClearPolitics polling averages, with the exception of North Carolina where the race is tied. Trump trails by 6 points in the electoral prize of Florida, where the president’s newfound willingness to meet with Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro prompted a fierce backlash and quick White House retreat. He’s down 4 points in Arizona, a state that has only voted for a Democratic presidential candidate once since 1964. He’s not close to hitting even 45 percent of the vote in Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin—the Midwestern states he flipped to win the presidency.”

“Meanwhile, the Trump campaign is airing ads in Iowa and Ohio, two states he won by near double-digit margins in 2016, as recent polls show Trump in precarious shape in both states.”

I did not win. Frustrating experience in many ways. It was in the bag for the person who won before it even started. Truly, she could have said anything and would have won. I feel confident I have better messages than her let me read the bullet points on my resume snooze fests.

The zone leaders of the two largest zones in the district were actively campaigning for her. One sent out and email telling everyone to vote for her or else kind of thing.

I'm glad it's over but it is amazing how much weird group think there is. Sigh.
