#JAILTOTHECHIEF- Shit Just Got Real

[Romana]

Biden will have the same problems occasionally, I guess,
Chairman of The Shady Palms Resort For The Elderly Weekly Bingo Commission is something else than being the big one at the White House.
They are too old for such an office IMHO.

I wouldn't want to be president at any age; it's a terribly stressful job and it ages anyone who holds it. I certainly wouldn't want it when I was old already. But Biden does, and he's got it more together than Dump, for damn sure.
I have cousins in their 90s who have all their marbles. Kirk Douglas was sharp as a tack til he died at 101. So was Carl Reiner.
I hope no one ever writes me off like that because I wasn't smart enough to die young.
It's one of many things I dread about aging.

North Brunswick: the 20 year old on of US district judge Esther Salas has been killed by a murderer who disguised himself as delivery driver, and injured her husband.

Salas has presided over an ongoing lawsuit brought by Deutsche Bank investors who claim the company made false and misleading statements about its anti-money laundering policies and failed to monitor “high-risk” customers including convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Son of US District Judge Esther Salas killed, husband shot

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — A gunman shot and killed the 20-year-old son of a federal judge in New Jersey and shot and injured her husband Sunday at the family home, the state’s chief district judge said.

Something smells fishy... or like Trump?

 

[NyteWytch]

Jesus the conspiracy theorists are out in force over this. Sounds more likely to be a piece of shit racist, misogynist (which trump also is lol).

Suspect in fatal shooting at home of Judge Esther Salas described himself as an 'anti-feminist' lawyer, once argued a case before the judge

On his website, Roy Den Hollander described himself as an "anti-feminist" lawyer who defended "men's rights." His personal writings and life's work reveal a toxic stew of sexist and racist bigotry.

Let's say sharp for their age.
A presidency comes with a ton of work and long working days. Especially presidencies like in the USA, where they are a huge and powerful political factor.
A ceremonial presidency like in Germany or Switzerland, can easily be taken on by a political veteran, just like the head of state function in a ceremonial kingdom. Look at the queen in the UK.
Cute and touching.
But her in the shoes of an US president? No thanks.
Of course Biden is the better choice over HumptyTrumpy, but really.... who isn't? (Assuming they did college successfully without cheating.)

Well, it seems the work is optional now.

Well, it seems the work is optional now.

And it shows, badly.
American's politics are build around the assumption of having a powerful, healty and capable president in the Oval Office.
Look what happens with a big time nitwit at the wheel.
It takes at least half a generation to repair the damage nationally and internationally.

Au contraire. I think it took maybe 18 months the last time.

By which time someone messes it up again.

This is probably why the Republicans still exist. They know they can give out cake and candy ... then the Democrats can spend their time in office cleaning up the mess that that leaves.

 

[Sid]

C'mon, Bush Jr. was not even a quarter of the nut Trumpty Dumpty is.
He screwed up big time in the Middle East, but hey... shoot around like John Wayne, no or the wrong questions asked, that is seen before from American presidents.
And that is not sorted out at all, other than that the American troops are back home. Screw the people who live there, let them sort out our mess, right?
20 years, and counting.

But 4 years of blatant idiocy is new for the Office in modern times.
He has shown the world that an US agreement has no more value than it's weight in toilet paper.
It will most likely take a generation to recoup.
Praise the overlods, that he did not started a major war (so far).

 

[Innula Zenovka]

Not as far as the UK was concerned, I think, at least as far as military matters go.

Back in 2013, remember, Parliament voted not to allow David Cameron to send troops to Syria in support of Obama's military operations there, largely because of our experiences with the previous US CiC, and things have really deteriorated since -- as I keep saying, the US' traditional allies are desperate to see Biden elected, and will work with him to repair the damage Trump has done to the US' international standing but some things just can't readily be fixed, since now we know that, if and when the US elect Tucker Carlson or Donny Jr in a few years' time, we can't rely on the US' famous "checks and balances" to restrain him or hold him to any international agreements or alliances his predecessors have made.

"Fool me once," and all that....

So it would seem:

The New Jersey Shooting Suspect Left a Pro-Trump Paper Trail

In a trove of documents published online, Roy Den Hollander directed misogynistic and racist insults at U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas, and expressed support for the president.

This, to me, is the worst legacy of the Trump presidency. Not Trump, but the complete failure of Congress to step in when he began to spiral out of control, which was almost immediately. By the time of the impeachment, it was blatantly obvious what a disaster he was for the country, and STILL the Republicans did nothing.

All this talk of losing our democracy because of federal troops in Oregon is just so much nonsense. It's already lost.

Sorry, gotta LOL a bit at "sharp for their age". Does that make the average younger Dump supporter, as we see them in numerous media, a few tools missing from the box, "dull for their age"? I prefer to leave age out of it. Maybe because of personal experience, being told I was "too old" to make music when I wasn't even 30 yet (Ringo Starr, still going strong at 80, would not agree, I think).

My fondest hope, no matter how unrealistic or improbable, is that enough voters are so totally sick of Trump and his smelly corruption that the "Blue Wave" lasts for more than a couple of elections. All we need is one all-Dem administration to set up barriers against foreign interference, gerrymandering, voter suppression, quid pro quos etc., and undo the dozens of ridiculous Presidential Decrees the Cheeto King signed. Biden can do most of that in his first year.

Experience tells me this isn't likely, but without hope what's the point of getting out of bed in the morning? Biden's Presidency will first and foremost be about undoing the damage.

Except that whenever Dems control everything, they form a circular firesquad. We don't do rigid lockstep very well.

That's because we're not conservatives. It really is two separate mindsets, possibly even two different sets of biological wiring, that messily align themselves along party lines.

I took a closer look at the cognitive test Trump claims to have aced

The test the president boasted about passing does not measure IQ but is typically used to check for early signs of dementia

You know those daily briefing about the coronavirus Trump wants to reboot? Well SURPRISE, it doesn't look like there'll be a whole lot of discussion about the coronavirus going on at them.

Trump at briefing says Covid-19 crisis 'will probably unfortunately get worse before it gets better'

President Donald Trump warned the coronavirus pandemic is likely to worsen before improving, during the first outing of his revived daily briefings on Tuesday.

Let him focus on his strong arm tactics. I can't think of anyone but the most ignorant MAGAt who'd say, "Yeah! I want Sturmabteilung tramping through my streets doing their rendition thing. What could possibly go wrong?" Because we've seen what can go wrong and that it can happen to anyone unlucky enough to cross their path.
It'll energize Dems, and maybe some of the people still stupid enough to say there's no difference between the candidates will open their eyes. Maybe.
I hope that the networks don't decide to carry his farce, though.

His next target is Chicago, which hasn't had any serous problems lately, so why there? Why in an area that is strongly pro-democrat which conveniently balances out the conservative southern end of Illinois? And in New York, NYC, another target, is balanced out by the rest of New York state.

I still believe he is capable of throwing the election through force. A strong federal presence could dampen the turnout on election night, especially if it can be done under cover of supressing civil unrest.
