Trump demands shutdown of the government to make Biden look bad

Biden is not the one who'll come off looking bad if the government shuts down. Trump is thought of as a smart business man, right?

 

[Veritable Quandry]

Every fucking article is about disfunction in the House Republican caucus. But sure, Biden will take the blame because reasons.

Meanwhile...

Big GOP donors hoped for an alternative to Trump. Now some are giving up.

The number of big-money donors giving to super PACs focused on the GOP primary is down from 2016.

Top Republican donors shopping for a candidate not named Donald Trump had high hopes that Ron DeSantis would be their savior. Then it was Tim Scott who caught their eye. More recently, Nikki Haley has left them optimistic they could avert their nightmare outcome.

But increasingly, it’s become evident to a large segment of the donor class that salvation isn’t coming. And in a lopsided primary, their money matters less than ever.

And so, many of these uber-wealthy donors are keeping their wallets closed.

“Trump’s like 50 points ahead,” said one New York-based GOP fundraiser, granted anonymity to speak freely about the state of play. “Who wants to get involved and waste money?”

That's a good question.

Trump and company liable for fraud in New York lawsuit, judge rules

Donald Trump fraudulently manipulated real estate valuations for years to falsely inflate his net worth by billions of dollars, a New York judge ruled.

This is the New York civil suit. Summary judgement before the trial, meaning the case was so clear that there was no point in holding a trial.

Republicans were hurt more than democrats last time they shut down the government. I'm cautiously optimistic it will be that way again; though we of course know that about 40% of Americans will never admit the republican party is at fault no matter what.

Trump appears to think Jeb Bush was president: ‘He got us into the Middle East’

Ok. This isn't funny any more.

Media Matters' Craig Harrington, commenting on Trump's latest gaffe, observed: "In the past two weeks, Donald Trump has:

- Warned that Joe Biden might start 'World War 2'

- Confused his 2016 election opponent (Hillary Clinton) with former President Barack Obama


- Confused his 2016 primary opponent (Jeb Bush) with former President George W. Bush."

I'm afraid that all of this and his delectable diet will cause a fatal heart attack, causing his MAGAts to rampage around the US killing ppl they don't like.

The puppet's strings have been cut.

The puppet's strings have been cut.

First of all, they're already doing that.

Secondly, due to obesity levels, incompetence, general lack of energy and infighting caused by antisocial mental disorders, they're a containable threat.

The thing with nazis is that someone will eventually have to stand up to them or they will keep going on.

'There is no greater danger than underestimating your opponent.'

That's how we got here, right?

Yes, but you're mistaken about the "underestimating" bit.

You're proposing that this sentencing or Trump's death might provoke acts of violence.

That is the underestimation. Trumpism is a fascist cult and "being provoked" is the default position.

You think like a rational person and think along lines of "cause and effect". Kudos to you.

But fascism isn't like that; it's a non-rational ideology that in this case is also tied to Trump's narcissism. Fascism (and also narcissism) starts with the "effect" ("being provoked") and then searches for a "cause". The victimhood complex is baked in. That's why you have Nazis like Charlie Kirk who go to college campuses to get screamed at and all their "issues" are fabricated, from CRT to transgender studies or Trump's big lie that the election was "stolen".

They even started an insurrection over that last one - so please, come on.

We're talking about a malevolent force that will cause harm no matter what you do.

I thiink I get what you're saying (thank you), but would suggest the so-called MAGA response to Rump losing on January 6, 2021 was directly linked to an event.

And, most felt it unikely Rump would win the election. Even experienced polical analysts, so yes, that potential was underestimated.

Perhaps I should have said I fear what those corralling the MAGAs will see his death as another opportunity to gather these people, whip 'em up into an even more extreme frenzy, and aim them at their enemies.

Ok. This isn't funny any more.

He also apparently confused "Sleepy Joe" with "Drowsy Donald."

- Biden far from fit for a next term. But still wants to run for office. And the Democrats let him.

- Trump the political idiot and a fraud as he always has been. Will become the Republican candidate no matter what.

Congratulations USA. You maneuvered yourself in a great political shape.
What a mess. If the orange one wins the elections, it will be the end of democracy for the USA this time.

We've had practice. Remember 1861.

What a mess. If the orange one wins the elections, it will be the end of democracy for the USA this time.

Anything might happen, but the Mango Moron lost the last election by 8 million votes, and he's only lost support since then. Don't listen to American media, which will exaggerate a sneeze into a national fearmongering contest. Add in 91 felony counts and they're yelling "yeh, this guy would make a great President!".

Those of us who are keenly aware of the dangers will be voting no matter what. I'm not overly optimistic, but I remain very hopeful. If not now, then it'll be never.

That "Biden far from fit" meme is Republican bullshit repeated by lazy media that don't check their fucking facts. Watch a Biden speech end-to-end, not selective clips, and remember that he has had a stutter his entire life. Now watch a Trump speech remembering he is a stable genius.

I can't get past the first .5 second if he's on the screen.

I'm not hypochondriac-level. Not yet. But just seeing his crusty, over-madeup orange face makes me physically ill. But that's not even the worst part.

When his mouth opens, words come out! That's the worst.
