"The August 2020 US Politics Thread is highly thought of, but nobody likes me. It can only be my personality. That's all."

Trump hallucinates that the right rear of his limo has grown a cartoon mouth and starts talking to him in a bad Edward G. Robinson voice. 'Hey, Donnie, me and the boys have been talking, see, and we think your hats are stupid. We don't cotton to them anymore, see?'

isn't it illegal for the President to call for a boycott of an American business

I think so, Congress should get right on that.

It would be awesome if after all of this he was impeached and removed for calling for a tire boycott.

Looking forward to LeBron's reaction

liar inspires tire ire

I mean that's just where we're at at this point. What is anyone even going to do about it. He'll just do something else equally low-level illegal a day and a half from now.

Perhaps he will promote a particular brand of pinto beans from the Oval Office.

Oh, wait.

Goodyear prospects dire, admits disappointed MAGA-attired tire admirer

brat snaps in crap cap flap

can someone briefly explain what the fuck 'Goodyear Tires bans MAGA hats' even fucking means?

It's a simple company ban on political attire, not "a ban on maga hats" and he fucking knows it, more riling up the base. But yes, a president proposing a boycott should be illegal. Yet here we are.

xp I'm reading these in Jimmy Stewart's voice

Grounded frequent flyer forced to find fresh tire provider for his lowrider after whiner declares Goodyear undesired.

“What I think you ought to do is boycott Apple until such time as they give that security number,’’ Mr. Trump said, admitting it was a spur-of-the-moment thought. “How do you like that? I just thought of it: Boycott Apple.’’

yup, exhibit number #13158994 demonstrating that being a psychotic hatemonger makes you instantly age an extra 15-20 years. I seriously would have guess she was at least 40.

If only those qualities would wreak havoc upon more than facial elastin and hairlines.

Like until a mid-30s Stephen Miller is constantly pulling an oxygen tank behind him it's fairly immaterial.

lol if you compare trump vs Biden’s campaign webpages:

- Biden has a statement/position for like a billion different issues, it’s pretty thorough, sorta like you’d expect from a campaign’s website...

- trumps site has literally NOTHING about his positions or what he plans to do for a second term. there’s a page of his “accomplishment” which is basically just a list of all the regulations he gutted.

I mean I’m not surprised, it’s just *sad lol*

donald trump closed the borders to china in early february, saving literally hundreds of millions of lives

BREAKING from me + @BrandyZadrozny:

Facebook cracks down on QAnon, banning 900 groups and pages, 1,500 ads, and restricting over 10,000 Instagram pages, part of new rules against advocating political violence.

Militia movements, anarchist groups also banned.

Story coming.

Trying to imagine the "anarchist groups" on Facebook. They must have banned the John Brown Meme Factory

Biden has a statement/position for like a billion different issues

Uh, this does not compute because I keep hearing that he's just hiding in the basement and being Not Trump

Also, pretending to be religious, unlike Trump, who took a picture with a bible and put Jerusalem in Israel.

well I mean it’s all boilerplate lip service , I’m not fucking defending Biden for fucks sake smh

Of course, given the assholes involved, this is truly a "trust but verify" situation, minus the trust.

Internal sources say mail sorting machines are being dismantled at downtown GR post office. Process started yesterday. Order came from Postmaster General DeJoy. @WOODTV pic.twitter.com/tNm9pXjcnU

— Heather Walker (@_HeatherWalker) August 19, 2020

a note that they did stop doing this, but not before it wound up all over twitter

Her note suggests it stopped since she reported it, five hours ago. (Her footage of the dismantled machines onsite was published four hours ago.) The dismantling only starting yesterday is a strong indication that even if it began an hour or so before DeJoy's media release claiming that the process would cease, that it continued after the press release.

Pelosi also says she spoke with DeJoy today, and as well as confirming that he had no intention of restoring sorting machines, mailboxes or other infrastructure, that he indicated the part of the release about overtime was a lie.

shame if he got stuffed into a mailbox

Several mailboxes in different cities would be better.

in envelopes that say "Atari 2600 - E.T. Cartridges"

What's grosser than gross, 100 DeJoses in one mailbox or one DeJos in 100 mailboxes.

Trick question, they're both gross.
