Season 6 of "Big Love" looks lame as shit, and is trying too hard to be like "Veep."  I mean there is one cool plot twist, the patriarch who has three sister wives (Ivana, Marla, and Melania) does suddenly take on a fourth wife...Ivanka.  But it feels forced.  Almost rapey.

He's definitely a russian asset. He may be an unwitting asset but he's proven to be a russian asset. He flat out lied to cover up a foreign dictator's bounties contingent on the killings of American soldiers. His own people admitted that intel was in his March daily briefings. He's known about it but did nothing and full on lied to cover it up. Aiding and abetting a foreign enemy in killing US troops is treason.

This is 100% wrong.  No matter what happens he would still blame someone.

I'm sorry sir, you must have missed the memo. Republican has been changed to "anti-intelligence, selfish, ignorant, sister fucking imbeciles". Please note this very important change in all future elections. Good bye.

Trump is setting the economy to blow under the next president. And they absolutely will get blamed. And if he wins it’ll still blow but he’ll get his payroll tax rollback extended as a way to stimulate the economy. It may not make sense but it’s what he will do. It’s only about his grift and his enablers. He doesn’t give a shit about covid and why would he care about social security or anything else he has not been held accountable for? He’s produced 0 plans. He’s using the govt to enrich himself, his enablers and his comrades. He’ll tank it all.

Explain to me a payroll tax payment delay? It disappears now but 4-5 months of taxes hit your last 2020/first 2021 paycheck? Or is it calculated how much more you owe when you calc your 2020 taxes next April?

Took sophomore English in the fall of '87. He took strict attendance in those days and had the TAs on top of things.  Lectures were pretty organized and there was lots of class participation.  He must have lost a step or two between 87 and 06.

Trump.  The Art of the Deal.

Remember, he gave this man's wife the Presidential Medal of Freedom:

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/08/trump-antagonizes-sheldon-adelson-phone-call-392688

  Quote

When President Donald Trump connected by phone last week with Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson — perhaps the only person in the party who can cut a nine-figure check to aid his reelection — the phone call unexpectedly turned contentious.

Expand  

 

  Quote

The 87-year-old casino mogul had reached out to Trump to talk about the coronavirus relief bill and the economy. But then Trump brought the conversation around to the campaign and confronted Adelson about why he wasn’t doing more to bolster his reelection, according to three people with direct knowledge of the call. One of the people said it was apparent the president had no idea how much Adelson, who’s donated tens of millions of dollars to pro-Trump efforts over the years, had helped him. Adelson chose not to come back at Trump.

Expand  

 

  Quote

When word of the call circulated afterward, Republican Party officials grew alarmed the president had antagonized one of his biggest benefactors at a precarious moment in his campaign. They rushed to smooth things over with him, but the damage may have been done. 

Adelson's allies say it’s unclear whether the episode will dissuade the Las Vegas mogul — long regarded as a financial linchpin for Trump’s reelection — from helping the president down the home stretch.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

I don't think he has authority to do any of it, and yeah maybe you're right.  But I don't think any Democrat-based organization is going to challenge them, the optics would be too bad, particularly with him squawking about it nonstop on twitter.

I had him for E316 World Literature in 85 or 86.  He was great.  It was one of those 300 person classes in a Jester auditorium, but I enjoyed it and him immensely.  Quite a character.  You could turn in your midterm paper any time up until the end of the course and also had a final paper.

He read my midterm paper to the class as an example of what to write.  That was wild.

Then, for the final, several of us borrowed a guy's Kaypro to type the thing up.  He apparently used one of our papers as his own and both the source and the guy got Fs for plagiarism.  The Kaypro owner fessed up so the source didn't get the F.

Aldeson is legitimate, financially speaking. 

Besides, dude has supported Team GOP for years now with his largess.  Had Cruz or Rubio or whoever had won the nomination in 2016, Aldeson would have donated millions then as well.  The story here is how Trump just turned him off from giving, from the sound of it, this election cycle.

The WH could deny press admission, but at this point with the President jabbering away for the last four years about how nasty and fake they are, I would posit they ought to at least give the nasty part a good run. One can deliver a nasty respect quite easily. Call up some of the old school journalists and profs on a Zoom and they will probably give some pointers.

Nobody who falls for it was voting dem anyway. A true centrist will remember that they called Obama a dictator for executive orders and his were closer calls constitutionally than trying to control the purse. The fake centrists are trumpkins who don’t want to admit it publicly.

Alright, Trumpers...here we go...not saying Biden hasn't mistaken a state for another over the years but listen to the point your God-King is trying to make.  This is verbatim, not selective editing:

"And the worst is when he's in, like, Indiana.  And he says, 'It's great to be with the people of Florida.'  And you have palm trees all over." 

So let's break that down since you guys are smarter than non-Trumpers.  So does that mean that Biden is actually in Indiana, but thought he was in Florida?  Then how does that explain the palm trees in Trump's scenario since Indiana doesn't have palm trees?  Does that mean that because he sees palm trees, indicative of Florida, that Biden mistakes it for Indiana?  Does Biden think Indiana has palm trees?  Which is it?  Because it you just read it word for word, anybody who can spot an elephant can tell that Trump wants to suggest Biden said he was with the people of Florida, but was actually in the state of Indiana, despite their being abundant palm trees visible to Biden.  

"And the worst is when he's in, like, Indiana.  And he says, 'It's great to be with the people of Florida.'  And you have palm trees all over."

That's one of the most insane things ever said from behind that Presidential Seal.  And somehow you dumb fucking worshippers will walk away saying, 'Yeah, Biden's going senile...doesn't even know when he's in Indiana.'  For a guy that lives in Florida, that Trump thinks the palm trees are indicative of the time Biden was really in Indiana losing his memory...and you guys think you won the day...holy shit.  How do you guys talk to your children?

I mean, you knew what he was trying to do.  Trying to say that Biden could be in Florida thanking people whilst looking at the palm trees, but then say something about being in Indiana.  We all get what he was trying to do, and yeah---people over 70 (Trump, Biden, and my mom included) would make that misstep/gaffe.  But it was the way he delivered it, he gave that long run-up to get to the punchline where Biden is mistaking the people of Florida for the people he's with in Indiana and you can tell by Trump's body language that he couldn't wait to get to the palm tree finale...but he not only makes zero fucking sense, he fucks up the cadence/timing of it all as well.  I mean, he just fucked up every party of it.  You could tell he had rehearsed it, the first two examples were just little setups to the big punchline and not only was it not funny, it was a buildup to nowhere.  Like reading one of my posts.  

Imagine hearing this from a grown man at a major corporate event.  

"And the worst is when he's in, like, Virginia.  And he says, 'It's great to be with the people of Arizona.'  And you have cactus plants all over."

Tell me how in the world that makes any fucking sense?  Tell me that Chief Executive wouldn't be shitcanned by his board the next day?

I had written off this election, but the polling coming out showing high polarization around in-person and mail-in voting is intriguing me. Imagine if, after all that has happened, Trump is able to win re-election by simply nerfing mail-in voting. Would be the most hilarious shit.

Maybe I’m an idiot but wouldn’t depressing voting by mail hurt trump and the GOP more than the dems? Specifically among the olds and rurals in Arizona, Florida and Wisconsin?  Am I missing something here?
