Trump

[Juan Albion]

Unbelievably narcissistic and egotistical. He's never going to willingly hand over power because he couldn't handle the rejection.

COVID-19 is raging across America. We have failed to contain it. Trumps selfishness, vanity and weakness have become lethal. Because of Trump, America is suffering mass death and economic catastrophe. He has triggered a national movement of idiocy and imbecility. He has created America’s first true mass cult of personality. 35 % of the country has subordinated their agency, common sense and self interest to a conman who not only doesn’t care about them but has an active and seething contempt towards them.

Fueled by Trumps example and bombarded For years with lies, propaganda, conspiracy theories and a ceaseless stream of malice towards minorities, scientists, experts, facts, data, truth and reality a type of collective insanity has taken hold in a dangerously large percentage of the population. They are connected and aggrieved. For many of them the world is a tangle of insidious connections that form a grand conspiracy between the Clinton Foundation, Soros and a vast “deep state”. They fear 5G and vaccines. They are immune to any appeal about the common good or National unity.

Many of them look at their fellow Americans as enemies. Some of them wear Hawaiian shirts and are heavily armed in preparation for the next Civil War. They have been present on the periphery of peaceful protests and have stormed state Capitols. Trump calls them good people. These people have followed Trump off the proverbial cliff. They have loosed catastrophe on the country because they refused to wear a mask. The worst case scenario is going to come true in the richest and most powerful country in the world. We are in a precipitous decline.

Four more years of Trump will destroy the rule of law in this country and transform our democracy into something we would have all once risen to oppose. We are at an hour of choosing. It is America or Trump. This is a life and death choice. Make no mistake about it.

I think I pretty much said the same thing about a couple of weeks ago, however, I wasn't so eloquent and I didn't get paid.

Pence is on now, saying what a wonderful job Trump and his task force have done on COVID.

He lives in a parallel universe.

The press conference is so positive and woolly, the data fantastic, his strategy to get younger folk in the Sun Belt to take care not to spread the virus, and to keeping praying, we’re in God’s capable hands.

America does some things bigger and better than us, including populist lunacy, but the number of reference points to the UK situation in that piece is startling. Politics driven by a fear of 5G, vaccines, of a hidden conspiracy of experts, the lurking power of the metropolitan elite, of George Soros (our conspiracy theorists borrowed him for a while), of fellow nationals who don't look like the rest of us (see Gina Miller), of economic self-harm and fundamental division. And a huge swathe of the population that doesn't see what it is doing to itself.

The worrying thing for Britain is that its self-interest is served by the American nightmare continuing. If Joe Biden beats Donald Trump in the autumn America will have a Europhile president disturbed by Brexit, in no hurry to do a trade deal with the UK and far more likely to build the US's European strategy round close relations with Germany.

Frighteningly, a bunch of thick ars*esholes applaud. Fox News, what a Alt Right joke.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

we’re in God’s capable hands.

Oh deep joy......


He’s been a tad late coming to the game in past pandemics and Genocides throughout history.....

Ah well, he’s a busy figment of people’s imagination, he can’t be in everyone’s nightmares.....

Pence blatantly lied tonight at the first press briefing in two months, he said that they’d flattened the cases curve.



Separately, Trump had said that the only reason places such as Europe have lower numbers of cases is because they’re not testing as much as the US.

 

[lasvegan]

The brain-dead, certainly.

Nope, they’re just the candidates.

Thus speaks the man who pushed John McCain into selecting Sarah Palin ( YES....SARAH PALIN ) as his running mate for the 2008 campaign, probably the worst recommendation in the history of politics ( even pushing Rebecca Long Bailey into 2nd place!!! ) Afterwards, Schmidt conceded that she was ' unqualified for the job and had a limited knowledge of current affairs '
Thus speaks a man who, until recently, was helping to put together a 2020 presidential run by the CEO of Starbucks. Coffee anybody?

And even he can see the problems caused by Trump.

Palin was put up to appease The Tea Party now known as the Alt-right.

That worked well!

Not to be outdone by yesterday's record of 9K new Covid-19 cases, Florida records 10K new cases today. Unsurprisingly Biden is now predicted to win Florida by everyone https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/fl/florida_trump_vs_biden-6841.html

Because most Trump voters in Florida will be dead by then presumably?

A note of caution ... virtually everyone seemed to be predicting he wouldn't win the Presidency in 2016. If the Democrats had a candidate that looked like he could serve at least one term without passing on or forgetting his own name/remembering how to put on socks it should be a slam dunk for them.

Trump in big trouble now over emerging stories that he was briefed by intelligence services that Russia has been paying bounty on any American soldiers killed overseas. And did nothing about it after being told.

He lied again.

Whilst showing that he’s more interested in presidential perks, as crises beset the US.
