Politics Trump - What has he done now???

They are all crazy. I like Trump...which I know no one here does.
I prefer Harris over Biden. I can’t stand slimy Biden, never could and hope to god Harris takes the reins quickly.
She is badass!
Don’t let your rage against trump make you blind to everything else that is going on.

 

The rage against Conman Trump doesn't blind me. If the rage against Conman does blind some people to Biden's faults, guess who Conman has to blame? Himself. When you grab the spotlight at every opportunity, and bask in negative attention by filtering it through Trump-O-Vision, you take attention away from others who deserve at least some scrutiny.

The Biden thread here will see more activity, positive and negative.

Harris is sharper than Biden, and much sharper Trump and Pence combined.

Biden definitely has some history. I firmly believe that VPs, at least some of them, oversee shadowy activity in order to give the POTUS deniability.

Trump had plenty of history that he brought with him. And proceeded to generate way more than his share of political slime.

History will judge Trump harshly, with good reason. We'll have to see what happens under Biden.

..........

@Freetofly, I'm interested in hearing more about what makes Biden slimy. Perhaps you could share in the Biden thread, or here.

 

That is the part that is most surprising to me is the lack of guardrails and protections against a vengeful President. Especially a more controlled one that doesn't have as many flaws and scandals.

If someone like VP Pence said that he would per-emptively pardon any legal gun owner for killing abortion doctors, there doesn't seem to be anything that would stop him from doing that.

About the only thing they failed at is corrupting the outcome of an election at the federal level.

 

I do believe Trump could read that book.



With a little effort.

 

Of course it's all about Donald "Conman" Trump.

Conman gets the attention. He rationalizes the reversal by telling himself he's doing for the people.

Does Conman have the foresight to (attempt to) hold the aid package hostage in exchange for the Presidency?
I don't think he has the IQ to formulate such a plan.
I do think he's self-centered enough (NPD) to listen to, and actually believe in, such an ill-advised plan.

 

Conman is "working tirelessly" for a resolution.

On the golf course.

 

Conman got the media attention he wanted, the drama, and signed the covid relief bill.

Does he think this puts him in a good light? That people should be grateful because he finally did, nearly a week later, what he had already agreed to do?

 

My wife, who doesn't follow politics, surprised me with a worthy thought:

If Trump plans to run in 2024, why is he pulling all of this crap now? Doesn't he think about how it could affect him in 2024?

My response was no, Conman doesn't think. He's impulsive and gives in to knee-jerk reactions. He chooses vindictiveness (getting even now) without considering the long-term consequences.

 

Yeah that's what I was mentioning earlier.

I'm wondering about the pardons. Is this the dream team he starts up with for the trump channel ? Will ppl web host some kind of trump land tv ? I doubt he could get a broadcasting licence. Maybe ham radio ?!?
There are military criminals in the bunch too so will they call in the PB's and Boogaloos and attempt some kinda armed paramilitary coup ?
Sorry for the meme but it seems appropriate, born on my phone...striped of metadata. I will pull it if seemed inappropriate or mods can no argument.

 

In all likelihood, no. Not with Conman Trump having only 16 days (we hope!) left.

Even if there was plenty of time, the House could go after him, and the Senate would let him slide.

IMO the call is grounds for impeachment. Conman is clearly asking for votes to be altered or fake votes to be generated.

I haven't had time to listen to the full hour+, but in the bits I've heard Conman sounds slightly buzzed. That's not excuse reasoning, just an observation.

 

I'm hopeful that Conman's rants keep Republican voters at home in Georgia tomorrow.

 

Yes it was fucked up and wrong..... but it was fucked up that the phone call was leaked. Both are wrong.

I will vote this afternoon.
going to be an interesting evening

 

Trump first tweeted about the phone conversation, of course putting his spin on it. That prompted Raffensperger, the Georgia Secretary of State, to release the recording. He has said he was treating the call as private until Trump tweeted about it.

I think Raffensperger did the right thing.
Let everyone hear the actual conversation,
not the Trump-O-Vision version,
not a partial heavily edited "transcript" of the call.
