The Disunited States of Trump (Trump Thread #104)

[TheNorthWestPawsage]

Trump used manipulation and race-baiting four years ago. He’s at it again. We are weary and worried but we shall persist.

Makes me wonder what he’s planning

I'd just like to say 'Not all soups ...' and thanks for the new thread North.

Cash flow problem (maybe to do with a cash siphoning issue):

'WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has pulled most of his advertising from TV over the past week, ceding the airwaves to Democratic rival Joe Biden, who is currently outspending him by more than 10-to-1, advertising data shows.

Though Trump has an outsized ability to command national attention, it is unusual for a White House contender to go mostly dark on TV the week after their presidential convention. The election is just over two months away and early voting will begin in September in some states.'

That is interesting.

The only thing I can figure is that they worked out that the last slew of ads didn't accomplish what they wanted. Most of them were pretty laughable in light of the facts.

I have a feeling they'll be back with some really awful stuff.

Maybe he thinks he can own the news cycle and spin it in his favour just by tweeting or spreading Trumpiness.

He thinks it costs him nothing ($$$) but he is wrong.

They have some competition from the Lincoln Project and others.

Not sure of the quality of info but DJT sent out a press release saying he didn't attend hospital last year for a series of mini strikes, but as far as I know no-one has.

[AskingQuestionsAllTheTime]

He really is a case of "the guilty flee where no man pursueth", isn't he. Someone denying claims that haven't been made is generally a dead give-away about their being accurate, in my experience during my life.

Shall sit here and try not to spill my . This may be hard if I watch the "Soup. Soup. Not bricks. Soup" clip again.

[ludothedog]

Watching Bill Barr on CNN. He's so bombastic and really unpleasant. Slimy too with is answers. He just can't give a straight answer or all spin, spin, spin

[TheNorthWestPawsage]

There are so many of them that ooze slime it's difficult to differentiate.

My list (come the revolution) will be a wonderful thing. Trump, of course, will always be at the top (he'll be happy about winning something...) but the rest swop around in order depending on the day's events.

The moderator for the VP debate is Susan Page, Washington bureau chief of USA Today - another laydee for Mother to worry about stealing her man...

BLITZER: "Do you accept that Russia is once again interfering in the US presidential election?"

BARR: "I accept that there is some preliminary activity that suggests that they might try again."

[PerkingFaintly]

Ooh well spotted, TheNorthWest.

Fgs
Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Trump told her to go to North Korea and take 'one for the team' after Kim Jong Un winked at her

Just joking of course.

Every time I watch the soup clip I think of this sketch.

God, I hope Randy finds a way to do a 'Soup' parody!

[Roussette]

So Trumpy has given a speech in NCarolina and has suggested to his audience that they vote twice. Just to test the system out of course...

[Roussette]

So here is Barr pretending he doesnt know whether it's illegal to vote twice. Only if you're a republican of course.

[TheNorthWestPawsage]

The utter audacity of Barr laughing about whether or not it's legal to vote twice and what Trump said. He's the fucking Attorney General FGS!!

[Lweji]

And is it legal to conduct official WH business on private emails?
Maybe ask Comey?

Melania Trump used private email accounts to conduct official business in the White House, her former adviser says

Lock her (and Ivanka) up? They'd hate to share a cell, I bet.

Soup? Not cans of Goya beans?

[GetTheDoorFrank]

Oh the countdown is on exactly 2 months to go...

[AskingQuestionsAllTheTime]

Owing to a genuine error, one of my parents turned up to vote after sending in a ballot in the post.

He was politely told he had voted already. They knew, because as the postal votes were returned the name of the person whose vote they were was crossed off the list of people eligible to vote in that polling station.

I can see it as a way for someone of evil intent to get rid of ethnic minority (or in Flint, Michigan, majority) voters, though: "no, sorry, you already voted by post" might well confuse some, I should think, and even if it didn't they wouldn't be able to do anything about it if there was no ballot paper available for them.

[TheNorthWestPawsage]

Too little, too late.

And...
Advertisers will be able to continue running ads they started running before the final week and adjust the targeting for those ads.

Facebook bans new political ads in week before election.
The measures also aim to prevent campaigns and their supporters from making premature claims of victory, a situation some Democrats have described as a doomsday scenario.

Barr laughing about whether or not it's legal to vote twice
audacious it is but surely he's smart enough to know he cant get away with this long term, why is he so loyal, what does he know that we dont, does he have special protection???
