In the past few weeks Trump and his administration have had to address whether this president can read, walk down a ramp and drink water with one hand. I feel as though they are setting the bar pretty low.


And still failing to reach it

Oh don't worry Trump. You'll see him again one day. Same goes for Mitch McConnell.

And no I'm not threatening him, or encouraging violence against him. I'm just saying he's an unhealthy person.

This terrible situation is clearly lasting until 2021 barring a miracle, so the Democrats may have a chance at a sweeping stimulus bill early next year that will address both issues (and more).

I think a big unanswered question is why did greenfrog care so much about means testing?


Was it because it excluded him from benefits based on his income?

A great ad for sure. But I think it would be more effective if it were in English with the Russian accent. There's so much going on visually that the subtitles kind of get lost in the mix.


As much as I'm enjoying their videos, I can't stop thinking about how they'll look after the election and the sights are set on the Democrats.

If the 2024 gop lineup is one of the Trump kids and maybe Tucker Carlson I don't think you need to worry too much about that.

We can worry about that later. For now, we need their help.

A judge has reversed an earlier ruling so Mary Trump's book can be released, as the publisher is not part of the confidentiality agreement.

Yeah . . . there's definitely that.

But right now, that prospect seems like a luxury.

I just pray we never get to the point where Trump and his people are the lesser of 2 evils. Seems impossible. But if I explained to myself in 2012 the world we're living in now, I wouldn't believe it either.

Say Trump loses in November. I still think he's done more damage in 4 years than any GOP President ever, including the ones who were in power for 8 years.

Trump has a new logo for his T-shirts (right on his website). It "accidentally" looks extremely similar to a Hitler Nazi emblem:

And now that Trump "has been briefed" on Russian bounty scandal, he's is doing exactly what I predicted -- nothing. He is traitor and a coward. He is an embarrassment.

Washington Post: White House does not plan any immediate response over intelligence reports on Russian bounties targeting U.S. troops

Quote:
The White House is not planning an immediate response to intelligence reports of Russian bounties given to Taliban-linked militants to kill U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan because President Trump does not believe the reports are true or “actionable,” according to two senior administration officials.

Trump is not convinced he should do anything about the bounty issue, which he decried in a Wednesday morning tweet as “just another made up by Fake News tale that is told only to damage me and the Republican Party.” One administration official said there is an internal White House dispute about how much information to declassify to support the president’s skepticism of the intelligence.

Some of Trump’s own senior intelligence officials viewed the information as credible enough to warn the Pentagon and allies so they could ensure they had measures in place to protect their forces in Afghanistan, and to begin developing options for responding to the Russian operation, national security adviser Robert C. O’Brien said Wednesday.

And though the administration has sought to downplay the veracity of the intelligence, O’Brien said the CIA has asked the Justice Department to open a leak investigation on the matter.


Why would you need to open a "leak" investigation if it's a "hoax" and there is no "actionable" underlying intelligence to leak?

Like Omar said earlier, this is what they do. They throw out 3,000 different versions of the story from different parts of the administration and hope the public is so confused they just throw up their hands. I think the public views Trump differently than they did even 3 months ago. Coming on top of the his COVID debacle, economic collapse and Trump's even more overt race bating, I don't think the public is as gullible as he hopes.

Paging William Barr. Paging William Barr.

Of course the right-wing has "Clintons" trending on Twitter. Barr controls the prison system but they think the Clintons are the ones who will take her out.

That's what happens when you don't elect them. They're restricted to using only deep state assets, instead of the full weight of the federal government.

Food for thought:

Quote:
Mrs. Krassenstein @HKrassenstein

Barr tried his best to fire Geoffrey Berman, the US Attorney for the SDNY 11 days ago and replace him with a Trump stooge. He failed.

Today that same SDNY arrests Ghislaine Maxwell, who likely knows everything about Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with Alan Dershowitz and Trump.


Quote:
NoelCaslerComedy @CaslerNoel

Y’all are acting like you’ve never seen a family of pyschopathic drug addicts occupy the WH in a time of a global pandemic and sweat it out as their connections to a global sex trafficking industry get exposed by the SDNY before? @realDonaldTrump


Quote:
Hunter Cullen -at- HunterJCullen

#BREAKING: SDNY U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss has said that the Epstein grand jury investigation is still ongoing.


Quote:
Cheri Jacobus @CheriJacobus

I think the reason Bill Barr asked/auditioned to be Trump's AG was personal -- to deal with the Epstein problem and a decades-long scandal that led to Barr & his father and why he abruptly fired SDNY Berman. In return, he commited to covering up every one of Trump's crimes.


Barr's father hired Epstein for a job back in the day.

MonmouthPoll @MonmouthPoll

NATIONAL POLL: #2020GeneralElection matchup for president:

53% @JoeBiden (52% in early June)
41% @realDonaldTrump (41% in early June)


http://monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/MonmouthPoll_US_070220


Quote:
Half of the nation’s electorate says they have ruled out voting for Donald Trump in November, while 4 in 10 say the same about Joe Biden. Biden currently holds a 12 point lead in the presidential race according to the latest Monmouth (“Mon-muth”) University Poll. Biden holds a significant advantage among the 1 in 5 voters who do not have a favorable opinion of either candidate. Slightly more voters say they are confident about the challenger’s mental and physical stamina than say the same about the incumbent.


Quote:
Nate Cohn @Nate_Cohn

Biden+12 in Monmouth, 53-41.

On average, Biden's led by 11 points in live interview national surveys over the last month

Like the Times/Siena poll, you've got Biden all but eliminating Trump's lead with white voters (Trump+2) and Biden claiming a 30 point lead among white college grads, which is just an order of magnitude beyond what we've seen in prior elections or earlier polling
