  1. Damn it!  Terrible loss for her family and an inspiring woman.  An absolute tragedy for the country.  I had hoped she'd hold on long enough to see Biden elected and sworn in and she could retire for some period of time before she passed peacefully.  This year has sucked so badly.

    He tried to trade it for Greenland. 

    Well, let's look at that.  Puerto Rico would have gone from a neglected backwater of the US to being a Danish dependency with free health care, an improved education system and much more social mobility.  If that deal would have gone through he strangely WOULD have been the best thing to ever happen to the island.

    Hyperbole much, Bill?  He seems to be taking oratory queues from the Liar in Chief.  It may have been a few years since he read a history book.  Maybe he should brush up on some stuff that was glossed over back then.

    When reading about the TikTok deal in the past I really kind of blew off the idea that the US government would threaten a company with banishment, compel them to sell assets under duress and then demand part of proceeds that results.  He just came out and enumerated it exactly.

    Conservatism at its best?  Right wingers love their taxation is theft memes.  How is this not theft?

    This man MUST lose in November.

    Why does every damn thing have to have his name on it?  I realize he wants it.  Stimulus check sent to my dead father had his name on it.  Government communication should be from the US government, not re-branded as largess from Dear Leader.

    I didn't get this card.  Maybe it got sidelined next to the pallet of dead chicks in the mail.  Makes sense that his guidelines would fit on a postcard though:

    1. Don't wear a mask, it's not manly
    2. Liberate <Fill in your state here>!
    3. Own the libtards!

    I guess what I'm saying is that based on what he's said there it is not crazy to assume he was speaking with Putin or someone else in Russia...

    Possible.  My money is on him making it all up.

    Since he hates anonymous sources he could always just tell us who it was.  But he won't.

    I never paid much attention to daily briefings before this shit show admin, but were they always contentious like this?  From Spicer on it's just been the secretary yelling at reporters.  I can't imagine it was.

    No, this is brand new territory.  It's not that there weren't tough questions from sometimes less than friendly reporters.  That's part of the job and to be expected.  What's happening with this administration is amateur shit show hour.  And the difference now is not the reporters, with the possible exception of crap outlets like OANN even being let in the door, but the other side of the dais.

    Such a terrible liar. 

     

    He used the magic word that indicates he's lying (well, REALLY lying beyond the norm).  Any quote of his that includes "Sir".  Do we have a bingo card with that on it?

    C'mon folks, eliminate 2 more meals a week to donate to my campaign! Also, eat ramen. Off brand, not that fancy ramen shit!

    Definitely Ramen.  Can't find cans of soup in the store anyway, what with antifa stocking up and all.

    Don't kill yourself on election day, wait  a week

    A top Democratic data and analytics firm told "Axios on HBO" it's highly likely that President Trump will appear to have won — potentially in a landslide — on election night, even if he ultimately loses when all the votes are counted.

    Which is exactly one of my fears.  How much pressure will DJT and the RNC apply on election night for Biden to concede and results to be declared?

    Do you recall the relatively small group that protested the recount in FL in 2000?  I fear something far worse this time around.

    I live in CA now, so I'm fairly confident my mail in ballot will be counted.  If I lived in some other states the level of confidence would be far less.  This is the America in which we live, which is chilling.

    He's never had the flu.  He doesn't need to wear a mask or practice social distancing.  He's a scratch golfer from the golf tee boxes.  He's gotten the best physicals of any President.  He works longer and harder hours than any person in history.  His brain operates at a level never seen before by medical doctors.  And nobody has taken a ramp like him since the Continental Army manned the ramparts at Fort McHenry.  

    DJT versus Kim Jong-Un at golf?  How much would you pay to see that epic golf match?  The greatest golfers of all time!

    In short, Covid-19 isn't *that* bad assuming you have competent leadership in the government where you live and aren't completely surrounded by a bunch of fucking morons.

    And here is the problem with this country in a nutshell.
