The Trump Presidency: Part 20

[Aridas]

To poke elsewhere, because Wisconsin...

The line at Marshall High School in Milwaukee County is over an hour long. It’s pouring rain and lightning but voters remain in place.

PEOPLE ARE STANDING OUTSIDE IN A THUNDERSTORM DURING A PANDEMIC IN ORDER TO CAST THEIR BALLOT.

Patriotic and terrible at the same time. May the Wisconsin Republicans and the Supreme Court receive harsh judgement for their crime here.

Oh, and for the absurdity of it...

"You are incredibly safe to go out" Republican @SpeakerVos tells his constituents, in full gown, gloves and mask.

...It's a real life "Nothing to see here" moment, because the movie fiction ones weren't enough for us.

We do NOT need a deep state. Someone's stalinist side is showing.

You need an independent civil service to properly apply rules and regulations and not lick the back of the president's head. We used to have such a thing in the UK but that is being destroyed and mini-Trump BJ is the result.

Independent civil service is Stalinism, but for freedom and greatness you do need a press that sings the presudent's praises to stroke his ego.

******* rubbish. Stalinism is totalitarian dictatorship. A proper independent civil service would be beholden to both the law and reasonable oversight. It certainly wouldn't be subject to being dismantled by a narcissistic moron as is happening right now.

I think that maybe you missed the sarcasm that seemed really obvious after including the part after what you highlighted.

Sarcasm is for socialists! Capitalists only use irony!

It has to be infuriating, suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

When you hate so much, it really clouds your judgement.

You can even disagree with him then, and be reasonable about it.

Yes, Trump is so very reasonable when yelling at reporters in his daily "briefings". Trump is not the type of personality that elicits a reasonable response.

You do make a valid point, however. It's very hard to be reasonable when dealing with that bag of pus masquerading as POTUS.

Well they actually buy a future irony.

You really think that his supporters are full of hate? That would seem to be a lot of Americans full of hate. We do know some prominent or noisy Trump supporters are full of hate, but if so many Americans are full of hate it should be a cause for concern.

Yes, yes, yes and yes.

Republicans should fight very hard when it comes to state wide mail-in voting. Democrats are clamoring for it. Tremendous potential for voter fraud, and for whatever reason, doesn’t work out well for Republicans.

@AP
The last restrictions on movement have been lifted in the central Chinese city where the coronavirus pandemic began. People are going outdoors and by the thousands boarded the first trains and planes leaving Wuhan.

Voicing joy and excitement from behind face masks, tens of thousands of people flee Wuhan after a 76-day travel ban is lifted on the Chinese city where the #coronavirus pandemic first emerged http://u.afp.com/3pqa

They claim that the President and VP are being tested regularly, and that people with access to them are also being tested. It still would make sense to keep them apart.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that. I had seen a claim that Trump has been tested twice. Doesn't seem like nearly enough given 4 or 5 days of potential asymptomatic infection... No way I'd let those two in the same building. I'd sequester Pence at Camp David or something.

@foxandfriends

There may be potential for voter fraud but despite claiming for years that it's rife, Republicans have found scant evidence for it - and most of if by Republicans.

But he is right, unless you seriously suppress the vote and prevent people who are entitled to vote from voting, Republicans do find it very difficult to get elected

I think you haven’t quite grasped what voter fraud means, and I’ve only got a tiny bit of my tongue in my cheek, voter fraud for many of the Rs is anything that could result in more people who don’t vote R voting.

There are indeed a lot of Americans full of hate :

Perhaps strangest of all, it wasn't just Trump but his supporters who seemed to have come out of nowhere, suddenly expressing, in large numbers, ideas far more extreme than anything that has risen to such popularity in recent memory. In South Carolina, a CBS News exit poll found that 75 percent of Republican voters supported banning Muslims from the United States. A PPP poll found that a third of Trump voters support banning gays and lesbians from the country. Twenty percent said Lincoln shouldn't have freed the slaves.

The Radical Left Democrats have gone absolutely crazy that I am doing daily Presidential News Conferences. They actually want me to STOP! They used to complain that I am not doing enough of them, now they complain that I “shouldn’t be allowed to do them.” They tried to shame.....

...the Fake News Media into not covering them, but that effort failed because the ratings are through the roof according to, of all sources, the Failing New York Times, “Monday Night Football, Bachelor Finale” type numbers (& sadly, they get it $FREE). Trump Derangement Syndrome!

Once we OPEN UP OUR GREAT COUNTRY, and it will be sooner rather than later, the horror of the Invisible Enemy, except for those that sadly lost a family member or friend, must be quickly forgotten. Our Economy will BOOM, perhaps like never before!!!
