There will never be an “Autonomous Zone” in Washington, D.C., as long as I’m your President. If they try they will be met with serious force!

'They will be met with serious force,' is a common statement in various circumstances. But does anybody besides me find adding an exclamation point -- 'They will be met with serious force!' -- make it sound like ********?

We did a great job on CoronaVirus, including the very early ban on China, Ventilator production, and Testing, which is by far the most, and best, in the World. We saved millions of U.S. lives.! Yet the Fake News refuses to acknowledge this in a positive way. But they do give....

Not only does he not kid, he also doesn't exaggerate.

Real straight shooter and all round reliable guy, your president. You are so lucky to have him looking after your country.

He doesn't. Odds are Miller and Bannon, who more likely do know the history of Jackson, told Trump that he was the greatest president in US history and Trump was like "okay, that's good enough for me".

And I do think that a SCOTUS appointment for Barr to help Trump steal November’s election is not far fetched. He sure as heck can’t rely on Roberts. We are an unfortunate illness or accident away from that occurring.

"Andrew Jackson? Great guy, I own billions of his portraits!"

And, entirely coincidentally, his Secretary of the Treasury is making sure Harriet Tubman will never appear on a $20 on Trump's watch!

He doesn't. Odds are Miller and Bannon, who more likely do know the history of Jackson, told Trump that he was the greatest president in US history and Trump was like "okay, that's good enough for me".

Completely Wrong. They know better than that. Only Trump can be the greatest President in US history; Jackson can be no better than second place. Or maybe third, behind Jefferson Davis.

Noam Chomsky won't be voting for Trump.

trump reportedly drew a sellout crowd to his "Students for Trump" rally in Phoenix. Below is part of a report that was posted on Politico dot com an hour ago.

After a disappointing showing at his campaign rally over the weekend, President Donald Trump renewed his performance for a packed crowd of students on Tuesday, telling his Arizona audience that they were guardians in a cultural war over the heritage of the country. “We’re here today to declare that we will never cave to the left wing and the left-wing intolerance,” the president said at a Students for Trump event in Phoenix. The appearance was one of his first rallies since taking a three-month hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic. Images from the event showed a large crowd tightly packed together, with almost no one wearing protective masks. Politico

Tonight's Phoenix rally. trump ignored a request from the mayor of Phoenix that he wear a face mask, as did most of his audience.

Idiots. This is why we have helmet and seat belt laws. A lot of people are so stupid they have to be protected from themselves and to protect others from them.

3000 people give or take to a Mega-Church where the pastor assured everyone their new air filtration system would keep the COVID virus out or kill it.

The virus may be about to teach him a lesson Dr. Fauci could not.

I'd love to see those twitter warnings on his tweets about testing.

Note that it's a much smaller venue in a much bigger city than the Tulsa debacle.

That pastor needs to pass the collection plate. He is past due on his private jet.

Ok. That is unfair to so very many mega-church pastors.

They would never be past due on the private jet payments.

....Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is with us in all ways, a very high 72% Approval Rating. So, if he is in charge along with V.P. etc., and with us doing all of these really good things, why doesn’t the Lamestream Media treat us as they should? Answer: Because they are Fake News!

This statistic must drive President Trump nuts.
He considers himself more photogenic, more well-spoken, more charismatic, and more powerful than Dr. Fauci. So if Dr. Fauci has higher numbers, then someone is preventing the true numbers from coming out. Fake news, fake news.

“Who is with us in all ways” (not “we are with him in all ways” - because that would be silly).
In Trump’s mind, Dr. Fauci is merely echoing Trump’s awe-inspiring intellect, so it doesn’t make sense to him that Dr. Fauci would have higher numbers.

I found this on CNN or a link from CNN. It's just a throw away piece of information that is from an article about nepotism in the high ranks of the GOP in Washington:

The public liaison office, which the White House describes as “the primary line of communication between the White House and the public,” also employs Andrew Giuliani, the son of Rudolph W. Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney. The younger Giuliani earns $95,000 a year as an associate director, according to White House personnel documents; his job is to coordinate visits to the White House by championship sports teams.

$95K to coordinate sports teams visits!! Jesus Christ on a cracker, what a soft gig. It's probably not possible to fault Trump for this but it sure seems to me to be a prime example of "waste, fraud and abuse" the GOP is always kvetching about.

 

[quadraginta]

But I really doubt Trump knows the history of Jackson.

If he did he would probably admire it.

"Indian Removal Act? Now that's the kind of thing a great president does!"

Any one can get behind. Just maintaining a G4 or a Citation requires that people keep up on their tithing.

Yeah, I am pretty sure these guys pay for the plane in full right up front.
But would still have a lot of monthly expenses associated with it.
Fractional ownership would probably be more cost effective if one were measuring cost per passenger-mile. But it is not about being a wise steward with church donations, is it?
