    This was only done in tongue & cheek but the fact it's believable only gives credence to how fucked up everything is these days.

    This three-ring circus started just a little under 4 years ago when Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, and has performed to sold-out audiences ever since.

    In 2020, Trump has relied more heavily on a domestic civil war that he has created compared to his invasion of immigrants ploy. He doesn't talk about his border wall as much.

    His years-long rants about Hillary seem to have finally evaporated.

    In the wake of Ginsburg's death, his latest rally chant is 'fill that seat' instead of 'build that wall' and 'lock her up'.

    In 2020 he has been resorting to scaring the white suburbanites about black people. Scapegoats from outside the country aren't needed as much when internal scapegoats are fabricated.

    He talks less about coal miners, farmers, and steel and auto workers.

    His campaign rallies have become increasingly 100-minute bitch-fests filled with statements that at times leave even his most ardent supporters in a state of subdued confusion..

    An article from 2016 just before the election when Trump visited MN and was scaring the public about people from Somalia. Trump lost MN in 2016.


    Thousands of supporters attend Trump rally in Minnesota
    RICHFIELD, Minn. -- WIth just hours left until Election Day, Donald Trump tried to do what 10 Republican presidential candidates have failed to accomplish: Win Minnesota.

    Thousands of supporters attend Trump rally in Minnesota | Duluth News Tribune

    excerpt:

    "‘FAULTY REFUGEE VETTING’

    Trump’s 40-minute speech repeatedly made references to Minnesota and especially the state’s roughly 25,000 refugees from Somalia. He called that “a disaster taking place in Minnesota.”

    “Here in Minnesota you’ve seen firsthand the problems … with faulty refugee vetting,” Trump said.

    He said it was “stupid” to bring in refugees who are not properly vetted and referenced the St. Cloud mall stabbing in September. Dahir Adan, the suspect in the stabbing of 10 people, moved to Minnesota from Kenya when he was two and had Islamic State sympathies, according to reports.

    Under a Trump administration, the Republican nominee promised, we “will not bring in any refugees without the support of the local community.”

    Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chairman Ken Martin, in a statement, said that Trump’s discussion of Somali refugees was “hateful and bigoted” and that Minnesota “has always welcomed those that have come seeking a better life for themselves and their families.”"

    The speech Trump made in MN in 2016 was 40 minutes.

    In 2020, one hour and 40 minutes has become common for him.

    Yeah, that's because the new section is falling down.

    The rest was repairs to the existing wall.

    Mexico didn't pay for any of it.

    I don't like to agree with that, but know what you said is true. His following is staggering. He could get them to drink the cool-aid just like that Jim Jones did back years ago.

    Trump's delusional musings show no limits.



    Trump Threatens To Issue Executive Order Preventing Biden From Being Elected President

    excerpt:

    "Trump also expanded on his unproven claim that Biden is on drugs, stating, "they gave him a big fat shot in the ass… and for two hours, he is better than ever before. Problem is, what happens after that?"

    The first debate between the two candidates is scheduled for September 29th, with moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News, and Trump said Saturday, "we're going to ask for a drug test. We are. I'd like to have a drug test."

    At one point in the speech, Trump seemingly threatened to attempt to ban Biden from being elected President of the United States.

    "You can't have this guy as your president," Trump argued. "You can't have — maybe I'll sign an executive order, you cannot have him as your president.""

    I have noticed Trump voters are really big on the "identity politics" I guess of gender. They swear the young and hot women are conservative. Meanwhile it's a pretty open secret in young male conservative circles that one should not discuss politics with dates because they don't get seconds if they do. It's why the Incel moment is what it is. Bunch of right wing men confused why their views on life make them ugly to women. So they blame everything else. They are short, poor, etc. No, it's that you are a Republican who wants life to be 1950.

    Maybe it's because of stuff like this. One party asks if women are allowed out of the house and makes laws on their bodies. The other wants to break the glass ceiling. With the exception of that one blonde who shit her pants I can honestly say I have not seen one women who was not overweight and senior supporting Trump.

    That is why these comments will work. His male voter will love this kind of patriarchy. The wife will be told how to vote as it should be.

    Trump asked a group of women at his campaign rally if their husbands 'are okay' with their attendance

    At a campaign rally Saturday night, President Donald Trump asked a group of women supporters if their husbands were "okay" with them being present at the event in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

    Trump, promising to nominate a woman to the Supreme Court to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, spotted a group of women and addressed them directly, asking for an estimate of how many of his rallies they'd attended.

    When they responded with the figure, Trump asked what their husbands thought.

    "Anyway, I hope your husbands are okay with it," Trump told the women supporters. "Are they okay? They're okay. You have good husbands."

    The remarks came amid mounting tension between Democrats and Republicans over the timeline to replace Ginsburg, who died Friday from pancreatic cancer. Trump and other lawmakers have said they are in favor of appointing another justice to the Supreme Court before the November 3 presidential election.

    Trump has vowed the nominee would be a woman.

    "It will be a woman. A very talented, very brilliant woman, who I haven't chosen yet, but we have numerous women on the list," Trump said Saturday night.

    His rumored shortlist includes Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who currently sits on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, and Judge Barbara Lagoa of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

    Trump also said at the rally that he will choose a nominee to replace Ginsburg as early as next week.

    As Business Insider's John Dorman reported, Democrats cannot block a Supreme Court nomination with their 47-member caucus and would need to peel off wavering Republicans to stop McConnell and Trump.

    In an Insider poll conducted after Ginsburg's death, 58% of respondents said the next justice should be appointed after the presidential election. Only 28% of respondents said the decision should be made as soon as possible before the 2020 election. The remaining 14% of respondents were unsure.

    The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.

    The coronavrus, bigotry, racism, civil unrest, wildfires, and hurricanes,

    And Trump instigating and exacerbating them.



    COVID, hurricanes, wildfires, politics: Is 2020 the worst year ever?

    excerpt:

    "Denys Williams, 48, moved from San Leandro, California, to Reno, Nevada, about a year ago, when it all felt different. Now, she's living in a new city much less diverse than her previous one, which can be isolating.

    "I'm exhausted. I'm sad. I have the hardest time concentrating. I'm just so distracted by what's going on in the world. I cannot focus," said Denys Williams, 48.

    "I'm exhausted. I'm sad. I have the hardest time concentrating. I'm just so distracted by what's going on in the world. I cannot focus," said Denys Williams, 48. (Photo: personal photo)

    "It's not only that 2020 is a dumpster fire, it's that there's no one around me who I can really relate to or talk to about it," she said. "We couldn't breathe in Reno for a good week and a half, add to that the political unrest, the racial injustice, not feeling like anyone is in my corner — it's been so difficult."

    George Floyd video adds to trauma: 'When is the last time you saw a white person killed online?'

    This summer, she said the KKK showed up in a town about 20 minutes from where she lives. She's dealing with stressors some of her non-minority friends and co-workers can't fathom.

    "My co-workers will say, 'How are you?' and I'll say, 'It's tough.' They're like, 'Hang in there, we're all in this together.' But we're not. I want to say, 'You have no idea.'""

    For only the second time in history, the weather service has run out of regular alphabet letters for the Atlantic hurricane season. It is resorting to Greek letters.

    Might as well start naming the rest Trump-alpha, Trump-beta, etc.

    He still has a significant following, but his ability to generate raucous and campaign money from it isn't at the level it was in 2016 or even 2019. It's remarkable he has been able to maintain his years-long 42% approval rating considering the state of the country in 2020. It's a testament to how polarized and entrenched U.S. culture has become.

    Trump made a best effort in Oklahoma to revive his boisterous 20,000 person indoor rallies. He won the state by 36% in 2016. It was the safest place he could pick with a Republican governor who allowed him to hold a promiscuous rally in defiance of virus safety guidelines.

    The rally was muted with about 6000 people including the late Herman Cain who tested positive for the coronavirus 9 days after he attended the event and a number of Trump staffers who also attended and tested positive.

    Post-Tulsa, Trump has been forced to resort to mostly visiting airport hangars with Air Force One parked in the background for glamor effect.

    His rhetoric at the rallies has descended to an almost undecipherable drivel extended to 100 minutes, usually related to his petty personal grievances, culture wars, and race baiting, which is enough to wear out even his most ardent supporters.

    He still has a loyal following who are willing go to their own unnecessary, avoidable deaths at his direction while chanting MAGA with their last dying breath. Herman Cain, who was part of Black Voices For Trump, is an example. He was still posting defiant remarks about virus safety precautions the day he was admitted to a hospital for COVID-19 where he later died with no mention of him at all at the 2020 RNC convention a few weeks later.

    Florida Republicans: Nominating Lagoa could clinch state for Trump

    excerpt:

    "But it’s Lagoa’s background as a Florida Cuban-American that could have the most salience for Trump. His reelection hinges on the too-close-to-call battleground state, where his campaign has made outreach to Hispanic voters a top issue, worrying some Democrats.

    “If the president picks Barbara Lagoa, they will be dancing salsa with joy in Hialeah well past November,” said Gaetz, referring to Lagoa’s home town, a blue-collar majority Cuban-American city that borders Miami and leans Republican.

    Lagoa, a 52-year-old Columbia Law School graduate and mother of three children, emerged this weekend as a leading contender to take the Supreme Court seat held by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the liberal stalwart who died Friday at the age of 87."

    Wait... Trump is going to nominate a federal judge based on how many votes it might get him? Not anything to do with qualifications, just possible votes... Dude is seriously fucked in the head.

    Trump would have pardoned Charlie Manson if it would have gotten him votes.

    The Trump administration is trying to use the Hillary deleted email ploy again.



    The One Thing Robert Mueller’s Wiped Phones And Hillary Clinton’s Deleted Emails Have In Common

    excerpt:

    "With President Trump trailing Democratic challenger Joe Biden substantially in most national polls, as well as in numerous battleground states, the Trump campaign has been grasping at issues that they hope will change the fundamental dynamics of the campaign. So far, attacks on Biden, his running mate Kamala Harris have not seemed to be effective in changing the narrative on the race.

    Which is where the news of the Mueller team's phones comes into play. On Saturday morning, President Trump lashed out at the Mueller investigation on Twitter, making untrue claims about its legitimacy and its findings.

    Yet what the Mueller phone controversy has in common with the Clinton email scandal is substantial. Both controversies are predicated on the fact that there is some vast conspiracy to hide information and create a cover-up of wrongdoing. Both controversies are pitch-perfect for a President who thrives on prompting division and doubt, especially during election. And both of the sets of facts have just enough truth in them to make them sound like legitimate issues, despite being otherwise."

    Like he did with Hillary, Trump will try to concoct a narrative that implicates Biden, such as claiming that deleted information of former DOJ employees is being held by a wealthy person in Ukraine who is keeping it secret to protect Biden.

    Trump will put Giuliani on another Ukraine case who will later go on Fox and claim, "I got the stuff! I got the stuff!"
