"Will you shut up, man?" US Politics October 2020

Relevant to Trump's anti-refugee remarks in MN: His campaign is running an ad that warns Biden will increase refugee resettlement "by 700 percent." And it's true - bc Trump drastically cut down on refugee resettlement, so restoring it surges the total. https://t.co/wUJlSVQcii

If not for refugee resettlement, we wouldn't have Jared Kushner.

Oh...wait...

"What is going on with Omar?" he continued, citing unproven claims tying Omar to a ballot harvesting scheme. "I’ve been reading these reports for two years about how corrupt and crooked she is. Let’s get with it. Let’s get with it."

The rally crowd then broke into a chant of "lock her up..."

America at her best.

jfc

somehow every day i increasingly look forward to his death

This alone just caused me to make a donation to Joe Biden.

"she want to tell us how to run our country"

Icky Trump, nothing better to do? Why don't you kick yourself out? You're an immigrant too

christ what an asshole

I hope the date he passes becomes a national holiday so I can hose down his grave every year without having to dip into my PTO.

I keep imagining the huge party in Chicago when they finally pull down those giant ass letters from his building.

Whoa!

MSNBC anchor Ayman Mohyeldin has enough of Trump campaign advisor Steve Cortes baselessly claiming the Biden campaign agreed to earpiece inspections and backed out, cuts off the interview.

Tells him he can come back when he can provide proof to substantiate the claim. pic.twitter.com/eHeKFkXyPR

Scott Adams's weirdly empty shelves make me uneasy

It's like he's broadcasting from a hastily arranged safehouse

Trump must've really bombed it if he's willing to vote for this guy instead:

If Biden is elected, there's a good chance you will be dead within the year.

— Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) July 1, 2020

Did he say anything about voting for Biden?

What you're missing is that Scott Adams actually wants us all dead

He'll be writing in a vote for Dogbert iirc

The Trump campaign appears to be declaring war on the Commission on Presidential Debates in a call happening right now, describing it as biased against POTUS

— Alex Isenstadt (@politicoalex) October 1, 2020

The obvious move here is, if Trump backs out of the next debate, Biden should just show up and take audience questions for 90 minutes.

He's such a fucking baby.

honestly, my fear now is that this asshole is gonna read the writing on the wall and do something completely novel and dangerous: declare war on a country, shut down the stock market, claim that coastal states are seceding... who knows!

and hire a really good Trump impersonator to stand at the other podium and violently shit his pants.

we're only a few steps away from him tweeting that he has the nuclear codes so if we know what's good for us we better fall in line.

"Some people say I might just use this football thing, whatever you call it."

he's gonna bark a lot but there is no way he will pass up being on a high-rated TV event

its quite literally the one thing he actually cares about

well, that and staying out of jail

And rawdoggin' faded softcore stars

And the Gorilla Channel.

Scott Adams is as self obsessed as Trump. Like he's the fuckimg victim when the president calls on a fascist militia to stand by! He's just another fucking mark and he's upset it's taken this long for the penny to finally drop.

yeah if you read his blog back in '16 (and I highly recommend you don't) it's clear that his love of Trump is mostly because he sees his reflection. underqualified dude who nevertheless used the ~~powers of persuasion~~ to succeed in a field he should never have been in. he is also remarkably thin-skinned and has a habit for just saying shit, the man has no consistency whatsoever. he goes on and on about how dumb metaphors are then compares vote-by-mail to snorting fentanyl. they clearly have the same personality disorder.

Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman have been charged with election-related felonies in Michigan.

i think about it all the time

If he dies now, he'll be a folk hero. I'd much prefer him with a massive stroke, unable to speak. That would be delicious.

Dunno how good this one is but this kinda poll 5 weeks out from the election is pretty fuckin bad for Republicans

#NEW National Post Debate Poll:

Like there seems to be a reason every R is freaked out right now

Hope everyone has steeled their nerves and laid in a supply of ativan for the polls tightening up over the next few days.

I'm starting to doubt this (mid-debate) prediction is going to happen

Texas is gonna have a statewide single polling station at the Alamo... must wear a ten gallon hat to vote.

^^Joke's on us--it's in the basement.

trump got very bad coverage from the debate, but the assumption should be that this is a temporary polling bounce. debate bounces don't tend to last, but let me know if it's still around in a week. (it might be! i'm saying don't get excited yet.)

It could just be projection on my part, but I get the feeling that everybody is just so sick of his shit to a historic degree. Like, I had a guitar lesson today, and my teacher confessed he spent half the day yesterday just walking around yelling "motherfucker!"

my brother in law's entire family, who live in North Carolina and have all been Trump supporters this entire time, are totally done with his ass and ready to vote Biden because they feel like they've been taken for chumps.

I'll take it, but, well ...

Are there any, like literally any, stories to the contrary?

There is a new McConnell add which goes into how much money he has raised for drug addiction help in KY that ends with him smiling into some laptop looking pretty much like Mr. Burns. It's pretty much prime meme ready.

I believe that, among people who watched the debate, Trump made a notably horrible impression and almost certainly lost votes.

There was none of the transgressive "bad boy" quality to his theatrics the other night. He came off like a sneering, condescending bully.
