Maybe this is his pivot towards resignation?

How many of his ex friends and associates have said that trump will resign when he's sure he can't win reelection?

The Pentagon said no to his dictatorship idea. His plan to use the proud boys has fallen apart.

The best thing he can do now is try to make as much money as possible through our tax dollars, stock market manipulation, and shady foreign deals.

No more debates! tRump's behavior tonight was disgusting

and it's not something I care to witness again.

What do you think?

trump is boxing us in again

All his comments about not accepting the election results have resulted in Democrats and anti-trumpers reflexively taking the opposite position--that our system is 100% flawless and that we should accept the election results, without question, regardless of what unfolds. Hence the Senate Bill that passed unanimously yesterday. We're still playing Checkers, unfortunately.

Perhaps a better strategy is to say something along the lines of:

You know what donald? Our system could use some improvement, because millions believe that YOU cheated your way into office last time. So why don't you and mitch pass election security? Why don't you and mitch give more finds to the USPS?

Oh... You don't want to do that? Why not? 🤔🤔

OK... That's awfully suspicious, donald. You don't want to secure our elections. You don't want to provide additional funds for mail in voting. It's starting to look like YOU are hiding something. Therefore, WE are not going to accept the results if you "win" under these shady circumstances.


Just my opinion, of course.

Omfg! My dad tossed his and my mom's absentee ballots in the trash last night!!!

I helped my dad complete his ballot application last Wednesday and I guess he was thrown off when 2 ballots arrived yesterday because he felt like he had already done that step. I'm irritated with myself for not making it clearer what the next step would be--I thought I told them the ballots would be arriving this week. Maybe I could have been clearer about the process, but I also feel like this happened due to trump's constant crying about rigged elections and fake ballots!

Luckily, my dad says he was able to retrieve both ballots from the trash. I'm going to their house first thing tomorrow to make sure they fill it out right and get it in the mail.

trumpers plan to vote in person, but if they catch covid at trump's super-spreader rallies,

will there be enough time for them to recover before Election Day?

And if so, will they still vote for trump?

tRump is transactional. He might not want to appoint anyone before the election

He knows that if he appoints someone now, the GOP can and will kick him under the bus come election day. With the SCOTUS heavily stacked in their direction, what more would they need trump for?

Is Willie Geist a rethug?

Did anyone see his nasty comment about Biden? Something along the lines of, "What is Biden going to do on September 26th when he doesn't have a teleprompter in front of him and he has to debate trump?" John Heilemann quickly corrected Willie's wooden ass by pointing out that a convention speech is always done by teleprompter and trump will be using a teleprompter for his convention speech too.

Sarah Palin to Tucker Carlson: I Never Would Have 'Prostituted' Myself Like Kamala Harris

Appearing with Tucker Carlson ahead of Harris’ big speech on night three of the Democratic National Convention, Palin predicted that “the media” would treat the Democratic ticket like “delicate pieces of China” compared to the way she was treated in 2008 when she was running with John McCain on the Republican ticket.

Speaking carefully, Palin replied, “I would not have prostituted myself in terms of changing any of my positions in order to garner better press.” She went on to suggest that she would “gotten a lot better coverage” had she “compromised my convictions,” seeming to imply that Harris has done that, without providing specific examples.

Palin’s comments come shortly after Carlson used his show to spread a sexist smear against Harris that she used a relationship with an older politician to further her own career.

Later in her interview, Palin lashed out at MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt, both of whom worked on McCain’s 2008 campaign but have since turned away from the Republican Party under Trump. “There was a lot of sabotaging going on, especially at the end of the game there,” she said, calling them “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time, dammit. She is deplorable to the core! Completely irredeemable!

Update:

WHY DID HE REFUSE TO ENDORSE SLOW JOE UNTIL IT WAS ALL OVER, AND EVEN THEN WAS VERY LATE? WHY DID HE TRY TO GET HIM NOT TO RUN?
