There's going to be an October Surprise

How do I know? Because everything Trump knows about the presidency, he learned from the teevee. And everything he's learned from being on teevee, he's applied to the presidency.

Like everyone else, Trump has heard of this thing called the October Surprise. It's something the media talks about every four years, and like "rallies" or "polls" or a "convention" Trump understands that you can't have a proper presidential race without a good old "October Surprise." To have a presidential election without an October Surprise would be like having a birthday party without a cake.

So you can be sure that there will be an October Surprise. The good news is that just like his pathetic hold-a-Bible photo-op, or his cross-into-North-Korea moment, the "surprise" will probably be extremely manufactured and pointless, and most people will see through it immediately and mock him for it. What's that you say? The Justice Department is considering filing charges against Hillary Clinton? I'm shocked that this news is breaking in October of this election year!

Anyway, I don't know what the October Surprise will be -- I'm just very confident that there will be one. I can, however, 100% guarantee that at some point in the next few months, Trump will tweet at least one of the following phrases (in all-caps):

OCTOBER SURPRISE

OCTOBER SURPRISE!

Comey's October 28 letter and earlier press conference attacking Hillary were devastating because Comey was Obama's AG, and had a reputation as a nonpartisan by-the-book boy scout. Not Barr.

Or revelations from Cohen's book, or whistle blowers reports.

Or concrete proof that 45 and his cadre are traitors.

Or a splintering of the rethug party, turning into republicans for America party versus trumpublicans! That idea makes me smile, because more and more realize he's not a good leader and has hurt their party.

I do hope the surprise is something like these, but if it's manufactured by 45's group it will be inept and we'll deal with it.

He may (lying or not) announce that they have a vaccine, ready or almost ready. That's what I think he'd aim for to try to get his numbers up. Even if that happens, it's too little, too late.

It's been a while since I checked out his site. He's done a lot of updating since Trump.

Basically there are authoritarian leaders and authoritarian followers and Limbaugh & his ilk are leaders. The leaders are using the followers to divide the middle/working/lower classes. And our side has been like crickets in the face of almost 40 years of hate radio, which has metastasized into Fox News and right wing hate sites.

And even now, some of the most powerful anti-Trump ads are from The Lincoln Project, a group of disaffected republicans. Where are the equally powerful ads from our side? Not our candidate, but our side? It's like the dems don't believe in marketing. I don't fucking get it.

When he has barr declare a state of emergency over voter fraud by china to help biden. At which point they will stop the EC from certifying the results in the courts long enough for the scotus to say "there is a constitutional remedy to this if the EC doesn't cast 270 votes for a winner - we don't have time to decide this".

Of course that will send it immediately to the house where each state will get exactly one vote, determined by the state legislature, which right now is split 27-23 with the gop having the majority.

They don't have to choose trump, but they won't choose biden.

SURPRISE! Not. But it will work and be constitutional to boot.

Sat Jul 4, 2020, 10:45 PM
Jul 2020

It will be the next major step in Putin's long-term plan, to restore the old Soviet Union.

In October, as arranged with Trump, Putin will move into the Baltic States, once subject nations to the old USSR.

Trump will declare a state of emergency, but won't actually DO anything except order the US Military to a high level of readiness. This will also allow him to cancel the election, or at the very least, claim that he's leading the nation in a time of war and all patriotic Americans must vote for him.

Together with the massive poll purges and all the other dirty trick the repubs need to win office, Trump will remain president.

Once Putin has restored order and dominated the Baltics, Trump will declare everything is just fine, his leadership has prevented a major war.

Then the gloves will come off and the US is a full-blown dictatorship.

Putin's next step? Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan.

Meanwhile, where is the NRA that ASSURED us all that they would prevent a tyranny? Oh, that's right, declaring fealty to President-for-Life Trump.

Is that he'll replace pence. Remember, McCain's Hail Mary with Palin? And now we know he knew it was over when he first heard her speak ?

1. Invite Russian military assistance to ensure that we have fair elections?

2. Work with Diebold (?) to ensure that the voting tabulating machines complete their 'Validity and accuracy' test in a manner that ensure the votes are tabulated correctly to the GOP.

Or my all time favorite,

3. Trump defects to Russia with all the money that he stole from our Treasury - leaving his Cabinet members to take the blame.

They know how DFT works/thinks so they will be ready to counter with some big issues. I'm no republican, but I have great respect for them.

The only problem is that 60% of the country won't believe anything he says, 35% are going to vote for him regardless, and 5% aren't going to be paying attention.
