Trump's Second Term

[EHocking]

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

For our Great Republican Senators, friends of mine "all," please be advised that the Communist Dumocrat Senate Candidate from Michigan, Abdulrahman Mohamed El- Sayed, is touting, as perhaps his single most important point, the Termination of the Filibuster.
I watched yesterday, and he's gone Termination CRAZY.
If he succeeds, the Dumocrats will gain 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen, many Electoral and Popular Votes, a stacked Supreme Court with 23 Justices, and I will be, sadly, despite the great job we are doing, the last Republican President!
President DONALD J. TRUMP

I’m confused

@realDonaldTrump: "You're very disrespectful in front of this young man... You're a loud, boisterous person. You're Fake News. Be quiet. Be quiet. Be quiet. You're a fake reporter and you report FAKE NEWS

Trump’s support team have two “nuclear football” bags.
(the one being carried by Natalie Harp is the one in breach of the 1925 Geneva Convention)



ETA: how do I reduce the file size of a screen grab on a tablet? This one’s over 700kb. Sorry

Jesus Christ, I did not need to be reminded how a man that unstable has his finger so close to the button.

I once read (I think) that no person, committee, whatever, has a veto of the POTUS's right to launch nukes. Terrifying. Hope I misunderstood what I was reading.

Tap on the image then slide a corner placeholder until you get the size you want.

Unfortunately, that is correct. There have been many who have fantasized that relevant military personnel would simply refuse to follow those orders in one way or other, but that's a very unreliable fantasy.

"Deep throated?"

I give him six months before such an encounter causes him to react by bursting into tears, toddler-style.

I'd much prefer he have a major heart attack or stroke on the spot.

Can't we have both?

The temptation among some to simply disable the nuclear football and not tell anyone must be enormous.

I bet if you replaced it with a real football he would be none the wiser. He's dumb (with a b), is what I'm trying to say.

Nah, he'd notice the texture change when he nibbles on it.

Looks like this might be Phase 1 of his election shenanigans. I figured the Michigan primary monitors were a pilot test for this national rollout. Dollars to donuts these will be in almost all blue areas.


Justice Department plans to send about 1,000 monitors to the polls this fall

The move to send 1,000 poll monitors is likely the largest number under a Republican president, a DOJ official said.

How many polling stations are there?

 

[PitPat]

How many polling stations are there?

About 100K. But they're not going to be randomly chosen. My guess is mostly blue cities in swing states.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

And, of course, each monitor will have to come with a detachment of ICE agents for protection.

 

[Darat]

When he does this the next reporter should ask exactly the same question.

That is the only solution, but don't forget many of the journalists for the newer right wing media are bought into this idea of those with different views are the enemy so it will never happen.

And in majority minority areas.
