Here is to the next 10 pages of unexpected and more so unexplainable shenanigans of SCROTUS and co...

[quote Roussette]I need to know...

Can a POTUS do this sort of what we call Party Politicial / Trump rally at the WH?
The audience were shouting, chanting slogans, whooping and hollering... how can the WH be used like this??

It's an ethics violation to use federal property (like the WH) for partisan political purposes. But as with all things Scrotus, he does it anyway and no one does anything about it.

What's interesting is that the link to the official Standards of Conduct has been removed from the website of the Office of Govt Ethics.

This is definitely becoming a stronger story

The blueshirts are most peculiar.

Praying for America here....(and I'm an atheist....)

It's ridiculous... it seems like they're no adherence to any , rules/ethics/standards any more.
Trump can do what he want and no one does anything.
If it's because they are thinking... not long to the election and then it won't matter, that's fine. But what if the worst happened....

Gosh

President Donald Trump, who contracted the coronavirus earlier this month, floated an idea to surprise observers by ripping open his button-down shirt to reveal a Superman t-shirt underneath, according to a New York Times report published Saturday.

Trump made several calls during his stay at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last week, in which he proposed the idea of first appearing physically weak to observers, people familiar with the matter reportedly said. Upon leaving the hospital, he would rip open his dress shirt to reveal a shirt with the famous Superman logo

That's hilarious!

Saw this on Facebook and had a chuckle.

For once I wish they had not stopped him.

The Fly.

That superman stunt would have been peak everything. The whole world would implode after that. He really is the most monumental narcissist, isn't he?

I wish they hadn't stopped the Superman stunt too. His cult followers would've loved it. But that's all.
He would have sealed his fate with it I think because he would be a laughing stock throughout the world.
I am surprised that the Administration appears to pay scant attention to what is being said about him around the world, maybe if he'd ripped off his shirt like that, they could not have avoided it.

Dr. Handsome Liar. Love it

That article sums up why she's probably going to lose. She's portraying herself as a victim without at all considering why Maine voters are angry with her, and they are really really angry.

At this point she's just trying to appeal to the right wingers in the more rural areas who hate outsiders.

Yes. Reportedly.

@Roussette - He would have sealed his fate with it I think because he would be a laughing stock throughout the world.
He's been a laughing stock throughout the world for what seems like centuries, though - we need the "TrumpBelievers" to not vote for him and I don't believe anything he can do will stop his cult followers from still thinking that there is an America that Trump can possibly make great again after the way he's systematically divided and destroyed it, and that he's the one to do it. The only thing I could say about Pence possibly taking over before the election is that Trumptards wouldn't vote for him and I think the Republicans are sufficiently disillusioned with Trump that they wouldn't accept his hand-me-down to lead them, if you see what I mean? (Well, that's my hope, anyway!)

I have relatives who 4 years ago were voting trump because 'anyone but a woman'.
we stopped talking politics because of that.
I hope for a nice long general chat at christmas.

The Taliban on Trump: "We hope he will win the election" and withdraw U.S. troops

President Trump's reelection bid received a vote of support Friday from an entity most in his party would reject: the Taliban.

Another senior Taliban leader told CBS News, "We hope he will win the election and wind up U.S. military presence in Afghanistan."

Jai Yes, I'm not sure his cult would go for the sloppy seconds, i.e. Mike Pence.
He has no charisma whatsoever and what appeals to his followers about Trump... (sticking it to the Libtards, draining the swamp, insulting anyone who disagrees with him... and of course the numerous nicknames for everyone),
Well... Pence is like a shop mannequin compared to that

The most exciting thing to happen to Pence in the last four years is the fly on his head
