I think it refers to floating the idea that parents who give birth to a child with minimal chances of survival should have to choice to hold the child while it is dying right after birth, instead of putting it straight into an incubator where they won't be able to touch it, perhaps ever.

This is exactly what it refers to - it's essentially using tragedy to enrage anti-abortion extremists. "I knew it, they want to kill babies!!!"

In case anyone was wondering—Donald Trump did not win the the Nobel Peace Prize.

Of course not, and he should not do so.

The real secret here - Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize in his first year as president, and Dolt 45 wants one based on his thinking "Me Trump am greatest president much better than Negro Obama!" This explains why he continues to whine and cry about it, while Obama has almost never mentioned it.

Of course, Obama's Nobel was not earned through his actions to that point, which he himself noted in his acceptance speech. And his favorite thing in the White House during his presidency was apparently not the Nobel Prize, it was a photo of himself bending down so a little black boy could feel his hair and realize that they're the same.
 
To paraphrase a quote attributed to Harriet Tubman about slavery:

Trump, “I saved over 2 million lives! Actually I could have saved 8 million more if I had bothered to lift my fat finger and had done anything, anything at all to fight this disease.”

Calculated based on Trump’s “logic” and USA covid-19 mortality rates versus those of almost any other 1st or 2nd world country.

"President Donald Trump falsely claimed in an interview on Thursday night that Virginia governor Ralph Northam "executed a baby".

"He doesn't want to talk about it. But he [Joe Biden] endorsed the Virginia governor [Ralph Northam] who ... executed a baby," Mr Trump, 74, told Fox News host Sean Hannity.

"[Mr Northam] executed a baby ... the baby can be born, and then you can kill the baby. And he's totally in favour of that," he added."

Is the numpty actually referring to something specific that happened or is this just something else he pulled from his rectum?

He needs to be careful with this. He just took one as medicine

As well as anyone showing up near a polling place with a weapon.

Not a lawyer.
But my reading of the laws leads me to suspect that getting that change to stick would be a difficult row to hoe. If he said it on the morning of Election Day, it might be different. I’m not sure because I am not a lawyer.

I am sure that it is a reckless, stupid, and dangerously ambiguous thing to say. Unless, of course, one is deliberately trying to eff up an election, in which case it is precisely the right thing to say.

I think you are right that the difference is that it is not yet election day - it's only a crime if it calls for immediate violence.
For their own sake, the Trumps should hand their phones to their lawyers on election day.

Well, no, Northam never 'executed" any babies, and Trump isn't actually meaning that he did (Trump has talked about it a lot without making that claim). It's just that he mispoke.

Nominally, that's not an issue, it happens. But for someone who is putting their eggs in the basket of "my opponent's speech gaffs are signs of dementia" it matters.

I think Trump might be talking about Northam supporting a bill that only allowed third trimester abortions in case of a non-viable fetus or severe deformation. He stipulated that if a delivery should occur during the procedure the baby should be resuscitated if the mother or parents wished it.

Not to mention that the surviving portion had a relatively benevolent world superpower available to come in, clear out the worst of the malefactors, reorganize the government, restructure the economy, and hold their hand until they became a stable, democratic society.

Not sure who would do that for us.

Canada, mebbe?

Mexico might have the best chance - after the Republicans strategically sabotage border defenses and give directions to Mexicans to invade as part of a political strategy, then proceed to utterly f up their attempts at defending the country because of rank incompetence and continued sabotage after seeing how inflamed and engaged America becomes.

Destroy the protections in court. Say "See? That was illegal all along. Here, let's do something not illegal," which just happens to be returning to insurance companies denying or charging massively more for coverage of people with pre-existing conditions.

I don't believe you. How is that a secret?



Elsewhere...

Lindsey Graham explains Blacks 'can go anywhere ... you just need to be conservative not liberal'

:eye-poppi

Interesting claim. Is this him admitting that "conservatives" are actively hostile to everyone else, especially liberals, in his attempt to spin brazenly on the subject?

Elsewhere, Trump really is advertising in California, apparently.

In the usual Trump Admin horror show corruption manner - The Trump administration got caught siphoning millions from the 9/11 Fund, but won’t give it back

They do have the money to spend more than that, though, in trying to make themselves look good. :rolleyes:

Seema Verma has been in charge of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) under Trump. She has not been able, along with Mnuchin, to figure out a way to get that money back to the 9/11 Fireman’s fund, although she has reportedly been able to steer another $5 million in taxpayer money toward her buddies and the communications consultants brought in to “burnish her image.”

Also, in an... umm... more interesting tale than usual involving highly unethical behavior and reasonably likely to be criminal deed -

The mystery of a GOP congressman's seemingly rent-free campaign office

Ethics experts say Rep. Jim Hagedorn may have violated federal election law.

Long story short, there's multiple conflicting stories about a space that, at the least, no longer exists and no rent was ever paid for, but is still being claimed as the location where the Republican's campaign office is.

President Trump is so childish that if you managed to give the “should hand over their cell phones” thing legs and got it into national media, then Trump would try to be even crazier on Election Day.

I’d love to see what would happen if one could get MSM talking heads to all day, “President Trump does not have the authority to sell the White House furniture and pocket the money. And he certainly does not have the authority to sell the Obama portrait that he refuses to hang.”

I don’t think this particular quote appeared in this thread

Campaign rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, on Sept. 19.

“ Can you believe it, in one week they nominated me, not for one, but for two Nobel prizes. But you know, you have a president, you love your president, and your president gets honored, because I’m not being honored, you’re being honored with the Nobel Peace Prize, for Israel, what we did with Israel.”

I think it’d be hard to pick the 10 stupidest things he has said since 2015.

It’d be hard to pick the 10 stupidest things he has said since January 1.
