Less than 100 days and counting... (Trump thread #103)

[Roussette]

Here we go...

Thanks for the info on swamp coolers.

I suspect the main reason they aren't in the UK is because it is never hot enough for long enough here

Whaaat?

How about a copy of the Washington Post over his head?

Rep. Katie Porter says she is prepared for that chat with the Postmaster General. Lord help him.

This one's a lost cause:

This shows where the high speed postal sorting machines have been removed.

All places where Hillary won...

'“We are going to win four more years,” Trump said. “And then after that, we’ll go for another four years because they spied on my campaign. We should get a redo of four years.”'

What Hillary didn't have.

Bernie Sanders calls on voters to mount an 'unprecedented response' and throw Trump out of office

Oh dear
Trump's Minnesota speech in 90 seconds.
Love the ridiculous music in the background

Okay, so yesterday Trump was dropping hints about a pardon.

Turns out it is a pardon for Susan B. Anthony, convicted of illegal voting in 1872.

Meanwhile, it 2020 Stone has dropped his appeal:

and Senate Intelligence Committee has just published a rather lengthy report into Russia etc.

NB: I have not read this but can see the key points picked up by various commentators.

Yep, just what I've been thinking all along, @Lweji. If bloody Bernie had whole-heartedly got behind Hillary instead of splitting the Dem vote, the USA wouldn't have this cockwombling nincompoop who is currently destroying the country, in place today.
Rancorous, moi?

Bit friggin late.

Confirmed 'speakers' at the Republican Convention.

A picture is worth... etc.

I love how his hair flaps up and down at the front, but the rest is perfectly still, on the clip.

Not just you, Rachel.

Not just you.

That's funny.

More damning than the Mueller report apparently (the latest doc, not Trump's weird flapping hair).

The Guardian reports that Trump has berated Michelle for pre-recording her speech a few days ago. He says she therefore gave the wrong numbers for Corvid cases.

Which are obviously higher now

The Guardian doesn't give a source for this though. Is it a tweet of his, do you kniw?

Here's an article that quotes him. He used the wrong Covid figure to prove she 'taped her speech in advance', which I guess is a cardinal sin. Whatever.

But yes, Scrotus, go ahead and point out that in actuality MORE people have died under your 'watch' than were stated by Michelle. Fucking eejit.

And as far as pardoning Susan B Anthony, she is probably rolling in her grave right now at the knowledge she was pardoned by Scrotus.

Not only was she a champion of women's rights, she was vociferously opposed to authoritarianism of any kind.

He used the wrong Covid figure to prove she 'taped her speech in advance', which I guess is a cardinal sin. Whatever.

Well, no: since she said "more than 150,000" she gave the right figure. 173,716 is more than 150,000. (That was yesterday's figure; it is up to 174,338 deaths now.)
