Nobel Peace Prize winner to be announced shortly.
I wonder if Trump has his speech readyGrin

Roussette thanks for posting that, very interesting. He does seem even extra insane in the last few days (and what a sight to behold it is).

BruceAndNosh · 09/10/2020 10:02

Darn Trump's nomination is for 2021 Peace Prize.
Hopefully by then it will be Donald Who?

A very common side effect of dexamethasone is increased appetite, it is one of the benefits when it is given to cancer patients.
Look out for Trump's baggy suits becoming fitted

I agree. He's always a step away from reality but, to be honest, he does seem far far worse now.
I think it's a mixture of the polls slipping for him, the drugs giving him a weird grasp of reality...

Even after a v serious plot to assassinate Gov. Whitmer of Michigan is uncovered, he then proceeds to attack her. Shock

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 09/10/2020 10:59

He said she hadn't thanked him about not being kidnapped and probably killed -- he had the square root of bugger all to do with it!

"Rather than say thank you, she calls me a White Supremacist". He describes the people who did the actual work to protect her as "My Justice Department and Federal Law Enforcement".

My? I think not.

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 09/10/2020 11:52

Repeated from the last page of the last thread. Thank you for the new thread, @GetTheDoorFrank.
I like this, though a bit disgusting, from Occupy Democrats.

@borntobequiet

Heffaloomia’s comment about the fly being a harbinger of death at the end of the last thread...my thoughts exactly. I suppose if it had been a movie there would have been signposts - a cut earlier on to the fly, buzzing noises in the background, the moderator swatting it - but for ad hoc unrehearsed, pretty perfect.
I know😮 It's like a sign, this person is dead meat, a dead Man walking The fly is looking for something dead to lay eggs in and it is drawn to Mike pences head☠️ That dirty fly on his pristine white hair 😳

Of course Satan (Beelzebub) is the Lord of the Flies. This must be well known to millions of Christian fundamentalists in the USA. I think if that were my belief, I would have found the symbolism disconcerting. Though I suppose anyone hoping for End Times might not be bothered.

BruceAndNosh · 09/10/2020 12:36

Riffing on one of the Biden slogans Truth over Lies, the immediately sold out fly swatters carried the slogan Truth over Flies

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 09/10/2020 12:42

I've given up again so am trying to think sort of happy thoughts.

So does it mean that pence is dead meat or does it mean that pence IS Satan and that fly was a manifestation of one of his lesser demons?

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 09/10/2020 12:53

I had a random thought, I presume I'm not the first to wonder this but would like to know what you think.
As we know to our cost, Hillary Clinton won the "people's vote" in 2016 but lost the electoral college. Surely, after 4 years of Trump's fiasco, Democrats will do their utmost to ensure Biden gets in, despite his age and their other objections to him, and surely some Republicans will vote for Biden too, so how can Biden NOT get in? Is that too simplistic? Or will the electoral college f*ck it up again for the people of the USA?

MagpieSong · 09/10/2020 12:55

@Roussette

I'll just leave this here. Trump's exact words on a phone call to Hannity. I'm very upset about the little fish 🙄😂

"California is gonna have to ration water. You wanna know why? Because they send millions of gallons of water out to sea, out to the Pacific. Because they want to take care of certain little tiny fish, that aren't doing very well without water." -- Trump

That reminds me of Bush going on about humans and fish coexisting peacefully. Although I think that was PETA related.

Trump is bonkers and seems to find more nonsensical things to claim all the time. He reminds me of Katie Hopkins, where he claims to believe one thing but his actions say the opposite. For her it was baby names based around places (her daughter had a place name), for him it’s against abortion but happy to use cells from an aborted foetus.

So she knows the result of this test already. Despite that fact that apparently by Trumps admission he has not been tested for several days.
So they have already decided that he will be tested friday or saturday and Ta Dah Negative.
Yeah right

HoneysuckIejasmine · 09/10/2020 14:09

Placemark. Just when I think trump has reacged the depths of insanity...

Family in Georgia all seem to be going for Biden this time. 🤞

AcrossthePond55 · 09/10/2020 14:13

So I guess the 25th Amend thing isn't to get the ball rolling (at this point) . It's a bill to 'formalize' the process by setting out rules and the structure of the bi-partisan committee that would be responsible for examining the evidence of a POTUS' instability and drafting the request for transfer of power.

It's a step. And I'm sure it'll still get under his skin. Which I'm sure is part of the point.

Can anyone tell me what the actual story is that he has garbled here? I mean, there's usually some story behind his wild ramblings, even if it's a rubbish story. So what are the fish, and where?
Mrsmorton · 09/10/2020 15:01

What's everyone's plans for Election Day? Will we know anything on the morning after?

BruceAndNosh · 09/10/2020 15:06

I'm getting my hair cut the next morning. My hairdresser (who thankfully cannot vote) thinks Trump is ok and at least he's honest. WTAF?

I'm torn.
She is the only hairdresser who doesn't make my hair look like a bad wig.

I'll just wear three face masks, and tell her I have a migraine so can she please not talk

Roussette · 09/10/2020 15:08

Asking
Sadly, this is not the first time I've heard this story... maybe that means I spend too long on the internet and maybe I'm over invested or just maybe he's a fool.

"The small silvery-blue three-inch fish smell like cucumbers, and can only be found in the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, where they are a protected species.

Mr Trump told The Sean Hannity Show that California’s conservation policies protecting the Delta smelt, whose numbers rapidly declined amid prolonged drought prior to the 2016 election, were responsible for the loss of water."

I do want to meet some fish who can manage without water. Even if they don't do very well without it. Grin

Clearly time for California to take a leaf out of Chile's book and start some serious investment in desalination plant. Solar powered ones, obvs.
