It’s shocking that they’re trying to move the date of the election because republicans don’t fancy their chances of a win now.

Perhaps Trump’s certainty that “people will die” is because he slipped Vlad his shitlist in Vietnam. Perhaps we can expect a new round of defenestrations, seimming mishaps and falls down stairs. The way things are going, this sounds like tinfoil hat territory than it would have done 6-12 months ago.

Seimming = swimming

Pain - sorry, do you mean the election date in Alabama? And genuinely, does ANYTHING the Republicans under Trump do shock you, really? They are the most morally bankrupt murder of shitarses currently in existence in a so-called democratic country.

Yes, move the date of the election in Alabama so they can try to replace Moore with someone more palatable.

It is entirely in keeping with their disregard for democracy so it isn’t surprising but I still am shocked that this is where we are

They should have filtered Moore out earlier in their candidate selection process. There should be no moving of goalposts.

Exactly. He was already highly unsuitable, even before the revelations about the sexual assaults.

There are lots of embedded things in this thread so I won’t copy it all out but it’s worth a look at

"People will die". Ok, can we all agree on who's at the top of that list?

I swear, Scrotus and KJU must be twins separated at birth. Or secret father and son. Both megalomaniacs, both sociopaths.

All that shite upthread about Ivanka being a shoo-in for first female POTUS screamed old skool autocratic family baton-race. When I was reaching for an example for DH it was KJU’s tribe I settled on first.

Siskind is a real persister. Thanks, Pain.

Are they not basically trying to emulate a monarchy? Trump certainly seems like he just wants to be worshipped but I suppose you’d get that as an authoritarian dictator as well

You read the stuff about Lara Trump in Siskind?

Ouais Yep.

He is going to unravel even more.

It’s not crazy that Trump once again said he asked Putin about Russian meddling and once again Putin denied it.

It’s not crazy that Trump once again said he believes Putin over his own intel agency.

What’s crazy is that Putin says no such conversation with Trump even happened.

Re lion's shareblue link, I have to admit when I read the headline there immediately sprang into my head an image of The Simpson's Mr Burns rubbing his hands together and saying 'Excellent, excellent, Smithers".

I refuse to get excited though. I think that when the actual coup de grâce falls that it will be something that none of us really knew about. So far everything that has been revealed has been 'not such a surprise' and IMHO that's because it's been things that the Scrotus Gang knew they could dance around, find a scapegoat, or that their fan base wouldn't really care about. No, when it happens, it's going to be bigly and it's going to be a bombshell.

It will have to be like a figurative rugby tackle (or the US equivalent).

I reckon the haterz and foolz would view you much better if you didn’t diss you own intelligence community in favour of Russia, that’s all, and didn’t rig an election with their help. And it’s “they’re” not “there”.

When will all the haters and fools out there realize that having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. There always playing politics - bad for our country. I want to solve North Korea, Syria, Ukraine, terrorism, and Russia can greatly help!

DT’s approach to foreign policy right here: make everyone my friend. Maybe they will forget the insults.

Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me "old," when I would NEVER call him "short and fat?" Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!

Does the Fake News Media remember when Crooked Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, was begging Russia to be our friend with the misspelled reset button? Obama tried also, but he had zero chemistry with Putin.

Sorry, report the KJU tweet:
