Trump 100 Thread and We're Way Down the Rabbit Hole.

[lionheart]

It is Easter, after all.

Old thread:

The build up to who Biden was going to pick was enormous, and then he picked... and nothing!

There's been no VP nom yet. That doesn't happen until the DNC (August). I was just musing that I like them together. She's not the nominee (yet).

Yes, but the same poll showed that more than a quarter of Democrats think that the party should nominate someone other than Joe Biden, so I am not sure how helpful it is?

I suppose the comparison is how the figures in a sequence of polls have changed since Trump was first nominated ... We could probably trawl back through these threads alone and retrieve that info.

It's been a long time.

A very long time.

Thank you Across, that makes sense, I read it wrong!

So Trump is back at Camp David with a McCarthy, Nunes, Gaetz, Meadows, Jim Jordan and others this weekend. I wonder what that's all about...
He's opened up MarALago but not going there.

2weeks ago Stephen Miller's wife was at Camp David with Trump, Pence and others, she now has COVID and now they are all nervy about this, not helped by inaccurate tests.

'It eats him alive inside': Trump's latest attack shows endless obsession with Obama

That article says Trump "has struggled to show empathy for the coronavirus dead."

No he hasn't! He hasn't tried to at all!

Meanwhile, Trump prepares for all threats.
Except the present and immediate one.
What would the US do without the Space Force Flag? Aliens will shake.

A quarter of GOP voters is low, although it's probably much higher than for any president seeking reelection.
I wonder if a half-decent candidate dared to present himself (and it will have to be a man ) if that percentage would increase

I wonder if a half-decent candidate dared to present himself (and it will have to be a man confused) if that percentage would increase

I think that IS the number for a half-decent candidate. I think that most of those who don't want Scrotus already have someone else in mind. There are any number of 'decent' Republicans who would be a far better nominee. A trained monkey would be a far better nominee instead of the untrained ape currently in the WH. (with apologies to apes who are really lovely intelligent creatures)

If trump catches the virus will he deny that he's got it 🤔
might he get it🤞is there still hope🤞 or should we accept he's probably immune 🙄

Frankly an untrained monkey throwing its own shit around would be better than Trump spouting shit

I am shocked at the lack of empathy shown for all the victims by Trump.

I hate some of what Boris and his crew have been doing, (or should that be... not doing) but at least when we get the daily press briefing, they all soun pretty heartfelt in their sympathies or the victims, and they actually say something about it every day.

I think Trump has mentioned it just once or twice?

On another subject... blackmail of any sort is very wrong. I mean that. However... this comes across as very right... because I would love for Trump to be caught in this crossfire and have his dirty secrets revealed.

Extract -
The following demand has now appeared on the hacker’s dark web site:

"The next person we'll be publishing is Donald Trump. There's an election race going on, and we found a ton of dirty laundry on time. Mr. Trump, if you want to stay president, poke a sharp stick at the guys, otherwise you may forget this ambition forever. And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly don't want to see him as president. Well, let's leave out the details. The deadline is one week."

I was going to say that's surely just would-be-blackmailers' bullshit, Rousette. But reading the apparent track record of those hackers, maybe not.

Then again, the article states that the hackers' claim to involve the President moves their activities into the realm of terrorism – triggering all sorts of consequences.

Will watch and wait on that one.

Yes, I know it's not good, and I really shouldn't say otherwise. Too many people are affected by hackers, I know that.

I just wouldn't mind seeing the dirt they are going to dish, that's poor of me really...

I wouldn't have minded seeing that three years ago.

A whip round to raise that $42 milllion?

"What would the US do without the Space Force Flag?"

I dop't know, but that looks to me like a stone arrowhead -- and I doubt that was what he intended to bring to mind.

He does look happy with the new flag.

That article from Forbes ends

"There’s no way they can collect a ransom, so they’ll probably publish the rest of the data or auction it."

That could be fun.

struggled to show empathy
yeah, he struggles to show empathy like a stone struggles to squeeze blood from itself

Scrotus won't give a rat's arse if this 'intel' shows dirty business dealings or sex 'scandals'. He knows his die hard cult will still vote for him. They already don't care that he's a racist, sexist, sex-pest, philandering, dishonest piece of shit What he would care about, and care very very much, is if the intel shows that his net worth isn't what he says it is.

The cult will vote for him whatever. But people who are not part of the cult, who voted for "anyone but Hillary" last time or didn't vote because "not-Bernie", might turn out to have a limit to their tolerance for scum.

And the cult are a lot fewer than 50.1% of the population, and with luck are not in a majority in the majority of the states.

What he would care about, and care very very much, is if the intel shows that his net worth isn't what he says it is
Or he's gay
