wtf he looks like a z-lister endorsing a product on a TV shopping channel
he's making the white house look like a low rent advertising thingConfused

lionheart · 15/07/2020 21:25

Oh dear.

That interview will require Gin Gin Gin.

Roussette · 15/07/2020 21:27

I honestly thought it was a joke. But no. He is endorsing products of a company owned (or run) by a guy who praised him as a wonderful president.
The world's gone mad

Twitter is having a field day with both Trumps advertising canned goods

On tv tonight. Hair, silverish, much less orange looking. Someone has had words.
On persuading other nations to drop huawei, I did this myself.
Like a toddler doing his shoelaces.

PerkingFaintly · 15/07/2020 23:19

Oh dear, I'm sorry, I'm just laughing at him and the beans. I thought it must be a fake photo. But seems not, from the reporting on it.

Can you imagine how this will look in 10 years'' time? When American students are learning and writing about their country's history?

"And this is the year we elected Bean Man. By year 4 he could barely speak sentences. Still, Fox News kept trying to cover up for him."

Although clearly not all of Fox News, per posts above. Interesting....

AcrossthePond55 · 16/07/2020 01:29

Personally, I think it's a great 'product match'.....after all everything that comes out of his mouth is nothing but hot gas. And he stinks, too.

"Beans beans the musical fruit,
The more you eat the more you toot.
The more words HE toots,
The WORSE we feel.
So let's shove him in a huge can of beans, seal it, and send him to Tootin'-Putin."

Roussette · 16/07/2020 07:42

It is very very worrying surely that Disease Control will not be getting the figures of what's happening on covid... is this not a way for the administration to massage the figures/lie on deaths and cases before the election?

I am surprised that it hasn't been picked up over here in UK and Europe, given that the US is banned travelling here because wouldn't this mean the ban will just go on longer if the figures are incorrect?

Are the Democrats speaking out about it?

Lweji · 16/07/2020 10:28

@BruceAndNosh

I'm guessing the covid graphs will look like this in late July and August thanks to this New and Improved data collection
That graph is wrong. The downward line will be drawn with a thick black Sharpie. Wink
AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 16/07/2020 11:13

About yesterday's Twitter hack: I see that Obama and Biden were both targetted, and Musk and Bezos and Bloomberg and Gates ... apart from Kenye West, whom I have heard mentioned, are there any people on the list who are particularly pro-Trump, or rather, whom Trump approves?

BTW, Kanye West has withdrawn his candidacy, hasn't he?

Still not sure what that was for. I suppose it didn't have any impact on Biden's polls.

www.businessinsider.com/russia-used-us-intel-sharing-to-pursue-chechnya-dissidents-sources-2020-7?amp&__twitter_impression=true&r=US&IR=T

'Russia routinely exploited a US policy of increased information sharing to target Chechen dissidents, according to three law-enforcement and intelligence officials in Europe.

The practice emerged after the Trump administration backed a policy of sharing more secret information with Russia, in hope of strengthening relations.'

Roussette · 16/07/2020 13:46

BTW, Kanye West has withdrawn his candidacy, hasn't he?

Yes, no idea what it was for, but I read somewhere he's been having a bipolar episode so maybe that was the reason he started down that route in the first place.

Beanghazi! Grin

Or maybe they're afraid of those empty seats?

RNC to restrict attendance at Florida convention amid coronavirus surge
www.axios.com/rnc-convention-limit-attendance-coronavirus-florida-41180245-99fb-44b3-ba81-8724e541db73.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100

The Republican National Committee will move to significantly limit attendance at its nominating convention events in Jacksonville, Fla., next month, party chairwoman Ronna McDaniel wrote in a Thursday letter to members, Politico reports.

What's happening: Only delegates will be able to attend the convention on the first three nights. On the fourth night, when President Trump will give his acceptance speech — which may take place outdoors — delegates will be able to bring a guest, while alternate delegates will also be permitted to attend.

Oh, he won't be happy.

I expect GOP do have a shred of sense. I'm just surprised he didn't overrule them.

This is following Trump's distorted thought processes 'when we test, we create a case' (no you don't, you numpty) 'if we didn't test we would have fewer cases'

"If we don't publish the case numbers, we will have fewer cases. Result!"

Meanwhile it ain't over till the fat lady Kanye sings.

A ‘Kanye 2020’ Committee Just Filed With the FEC, But Is It Legit?
Hours after rapper’s presidential run is rumored to be over, West’s Wyoming-based PAC files Statement of Organization and Statement of Candidacy to run for president.

On Thursday morning, Kanye West filed a FEC Form 2 Statement of Candidacy under his recently announced Birthday Party (abbreviated to “BDY” on the form). The form is filed, per a FEC rep, “once an individual has raised or spent more than $5,000 in campaign activity, triggering candidacy status under federal campaign finance law.”
www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/kanye-2020-fec-1029361/

However...
A rep for West declined to comment. The FEC confirmed to Rolling Stone that the Kanye 2020 committee filed their Form 1 Wednesday, but warned: “We cannot confirm the legitimacy of this filing so you may want to reach out to the treasurer listed in the filing.”
