Trump, on the other hand, is all about a federal takeover of downtown Portland and other cities. Which is just fine, because reasons, according to conservatives and libertarians on this forum.

I'm not sure that bragging about one of your own being caught in a $60 mil bribery case is smart politics.

Obama, who wouldn’t even endorse Biden until everyone else was out of the primaries (and even then waited a long time!), is now making a commercial of support. Remember, I wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for them. I wouldn’t be President. They did a terrible job!

That actually asks an interesting hypothetical question: Would Trump have run and won in 2016 if Hillary was president 2008-16? I think I could argue either the "yes" or "no" side.

As court victories go, it's pretty small (and Cohen is not exactly the most sympathetic character). But I do like seeing the Trump administration lose court cases, and maybe Cohen's book (if he does publish it) will have a little extra dirt on it to further tarnish Trump's image.

And for those of us in lock down states, we're pretty much on home confinement anyway.

I wish I were confident that history isn't moving in their direction. Sure has taken a turn that way recently.

Depends on your concept of "recently". If recently = last decade, then I would agree. If recently = since late 70s, I would disagree.
 
Trump’s campaign ad blunders.
I can’t decide if they

-are the inevitable result of DJT not wanting to pay too much for staff
-are attempts to troll the liberals
-are designed to be distractions to keep people from focusing on more important things.

Actually, I’m going to eliminate that last one. It would require more planning than Team Trump is capable of mustering.

Did any of them include “I am President Trump and I approved this message”?
 
From: People
One of the country's top generals dismissed President Donald Trump as "an idiot" businessman with no "basic understanding of national security" at a 2017 dinner, according to another official's notes...In the Post story about sexual assault allegations against Gen. John E. Hyten, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Col. Kathy Spletstoser shared notes she took from the October 2017 dinner where she annotated the general's comments....Hyten, now 60, added that he believed First Lady Melania Trump had a better grasp on military operations than the president.

That is totally fake news.

Everyone knows Trump isn't an idiot. He's a moron.

Who even uses the term "housewife" anymore?

Well, Donna Stone for one seems happy to be identified with that term.

(Or at least I'm not aware of any complaints from her about her biographer Josie Brown repeatedly identifying her as a housewife. I assume if Stone were upset about being identified that way that Brown would have been "replaced" by now.)

No, he is a full-blown idiot:

In the early 1900s, Dr. Henry H. Goddard proposed a classification system for intellectual disability based on the Binet-Simon concept of mental age. Individuals with the lowest mental age level (less than three years) were identified as idiots; imbeciles had a mental age of three to seven years, and morons had a mental age of seven to ten years.

Yes, yes, but if you are in no doubt about your mental state, and don't expect others to be, what do you do when some one says you're demented?

1) Take a test to prove you aren't?

2) Ignore it?

I'd ignore it rather than give it more attention. But this is Trump. Don't expect 'normal'.
