President Trump claims he plays golf fast. Not only is that true, it is a tremendous understatement.
What is wrong with graham?

Stubby Mcbonespurs is damaged goods right now... His popularity is plummeting... He has been given low marks for handling the pandemic... You yourself have contradicted him over some of his racist policies (such as Confederate flags).

So why are you continuing to tie yourself to trump? Especially over golf? (Even if it is true and he "golfs quick", it still looks bad for the president to be golfing that much. Plus he is lying about "rarely golfing week days". Not to mention the fact that trump often uses his own golf courses, which requires more travel and expense, as opposed to Obama who would more frequently use government courses.)

The proper course of action would just to be silent; instead he is inviting backlash against himself and Trump.

My guess is plenty of juicy kompromat. Not about the obvious thing - apparently selfevident to all but his local base of voters - but about something more serious, whatever it is.

Nothing. Supporting President Trump under any and all circumstances is official GOP policy.

Is President Trump's popularity really plummeting ? From what I can see, his approval number is very resilient around the 40% mark. It's been higher from time to time and it's been lower briefly, but 40% is about par.

What does seem to have happened is that his net approval number has dropped at bit as some of the "don't knows" have made up their minds.

Many GOP politicians have been prepared to say the occasional negative thing, but when it comes down to voting, they'll support him.

Because anything other than full-throated support risks being primaried.

He may have been reminded that being silent wasn't an option else some of his own personal secrets may be made public.
 
One thing he and his cultists can do and are doing is sabotage a fair election by suppressing turnout in the swing states. Closing polling stations in Democratic neighborhoods, cancelling registrations, reducing early voting, impeding voting by mail, etc., etc. all help Trump. Trump himself said if everybody voted, Repubs would never win another election.

That may be possible in Florida, but pretty much impossible in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Michigan and I have doubts that can be pulled off in Wisconsin and Arizona.


I can't speak to the other states you mention, but I can assure you that it can, has, and probably will continue to be in North Carolina. To a large degree the location, hours, and number of polling places and the validation of absentee ballot applications and submissions are handled independently by each separate county Board of Elections.

Some do well by the voters, some do okay, and more than a few have committed outright ... but perfectly legal ... voter suppression by nearly all the methods you mention. Which counties do which depends almost exclusively on the political allegiances of that county's BoE. Not, as one might expect, by the party balance of that county.

And it doesn't really matter that much if the Dems do get to vote.

Thanks to gerrymandering, statewide there were more votes cast for Democrats than Repugnicans in 2018, but the Repugnicans continue to have majorities in both chambers of the state legislature.

The same was true for the U.S. Congressional House seats.

And it appears that Pennsylvania and Michigan suffer from the same sort of imbalance. Popular vote favors Dems, but Repugnicans manage to keep legislative majorities.

And then laws get passed which favor Repugnicans in elections.

Little respect for the fundamentals of representative government.

The Lamestream Media is not talking about what is happening with the Stock Market and JOBS. Both are doing GREAT! The Radical Left will destroy the USA. Be careful what you wish for!

The Silent Majority will reign!

So hard to watch @FoxNews anymore. They are working so hard against the people (viewers) that got them there. Their contributors are a disaster, and all over the place. The Radical Left has scared Fox into submission, just like they have so many others. Sad, but we will WIN!

Never in history have Police been treated so badly as they are in Democrat run cities - and these cities are a mess. Police must take a stronger stand with the Radical Left politicians that are treating them so badly, and so disrespectfully!!!

“Republican voter registration is way up, Democrat numbers are down.” @foxandfriends
 
Looks like President Trump is retweeting right wing conspiracy theories again. This time it's Chuck Woolery's claims that "The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19. Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors...."

Is he suggesting that the police should start strong-arming the politicians and take over the cities themselves?

I doubt that. I would actually agree on this. I mean, sure it's not so clear cut, that Dem cities hate police, while Rep cities love it. And of course, term 'Radical Left' is right out stupid.
But I think police indeed gets some undeserved hate, mainly in the form of generalization. It's just not that simple. There are bad cops. But not all of cops are bad. There are bad policies. But those can be improved. It's possible police in some places needs total reform. But that's different that just saying 'cancel police'.
Simple positions suck. Trump is king of those, sure. But some of his opponents make the same mistakes.
 
Nah, he's not nuts.

“I disagreed,” Trump tweeted Sunday, “with doing this very small (tiny) section of wall, in a tricky area, by a private group which raised money by ads. It was only done to make me look bad, and perhsps it now doesn’t even work. Should have been built like rest of Wall, 500 plus miles.“ (The misspelling of “perhaps” was part of the tweet.)

This is the President of the United States.
 
Now, was he going to buy Greenland after he sold Puerto Rico?
President Donald Trump raised the possibility of selling Puerto Rico in 2017 after Hurricane Maria devastated the U.S. territory, former acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke told The New York Times.

"The president’s initial ideas were more of as a businessman, you know," she told the Times. "Can we outsource the electricity? Can we sell the island? You know, or divest of that asset?"

Nah, he's not nuts.
 
"Denmark, can we trade you Greenland for Puerto Rico, plus Baltic and Mediterranean and a 'Get out of Jail Free' Card?"

Was Chuck Woolery the Gong Show host? I’m not sure he has the expertise to comment on these matters.

Woolery was the original host of Wheel of Fortune (1975–1981), the original incarnation of Love Connection (1983–1994), Scrabble (1984–1990, and during a brief revival in 1993), Greed on Fox from 1999 to 2000, and Lingo on GSN from 2002–2007.

In this post factual, ignore the experts because they're biased by knowledge age, that is an ideal set of qualifications to make this kind of pronouncement. :rolleyes:

I thought that was Chuck Barris?

Woolery is a tottering old codger that tries to sell gold - kind of like Glenn Beck did. There was some game show he hosted a long time ago but I forget what it was.
 
I thought that was Chuck Barris?

No Chuck Barris was the Gong Show, Dating Game, and Newlywed Game creator/host who claimed he worked for the CIA and had 33 confirmed kills (neither claim has ever been verified.)
 
You're talking as if that matters anymore.

Wheel of Fortune, Love Connection, and The Dating Game were his big hosting gigs.

No wonder this pandemic isn’t going away anytime soon if the President is relying on the expertise of game show hosts.
