Trump will manufacture false info on Biden to try to get the upper hand in Oct

I hope Biden is ready to respond to the impending false information that's going to be released through fox and other right wing outlets.

The feeling that voters will see through the crap is deluded thinking. At lease 30% of the voting public is swayed by fake right wing new lies.

Launch ads calling Trump, Barr and all serials liars with proof points. Don’t even address any of the Ukraine stuff. There’s more than enough material without it. Pound it in. Legitimately debase them to dust so no one trusts a damn thing they have to say through election.

There will be more than 250,000 people dead from Covid-19 before election day. Nothing else matters. He is history.

I don't see Bass or Warren rearing back for a resounding attack - maybe Kamala, though...

Don't ignore anything they throw as Kerry did thinking that people wouldn't recall dirt thrown in August and the campaign didn't start until Labor Day. Also, he thought people were too good to believe all that Swiftboat crap. Hah!

62 million morons voted for this jamoke in 2016.

Respond to everything - no matter how rotten.

I think it will be transparently fake to the sane people who will vote for Joe.

They (Putin’s assets in our government who were sent things from Putin’s KGB guys in Ukraine) have some altered audio tapes, rumor has it.

But the dems have already warned of shenanigans and saw the Ukraine package that went to Nunes, so I think whatever it is might backfire spectacularly.

I guess drumpf could still try to get the prez of Ukraine to help him (quid pro quo redux), given that Russia is acting super aggressively against Ukraine.

But it’s all so foreign and murky for regular ol Americans, it might not get traction.

The number of deaths due to this virus..is what tells the total story of Donald Trump.

Trump could have done something....and he did nothing at all.

Don't try to frame it, or debate it.
Just call them "ridiculous lies by a desperate liar."
Don't mince words.
Don't worry about calling a sitting POTUS a liar.
Blunt, harsh, aggressive.
Take the handgrenade & toss if back in PINO's lap!

onto Trump. Do it with such intensity that people forget that the original stuff was anti-Biden.

It is time to get aggressive in use of the projection technique.
