Trump vs. Biden

[FemMecha]

^supersized, double *lies.

My impression is that this is core to why he resonates with a lot of the American public. The prosperity gospel crowd is all about toxic positivity. Strangely enough, even the modern day cults tend to be about "blab it and grab it", "believe and achieve", pyramid financial schemes to get rich and revel in toxic positivity. It is a denial culture that wants everything quickly and denies all trouble and wrongdoing. Trump's family appears like they have everything - money, the women are all models, Trump has a sexual history with porn stars, etc. and they spout words like WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC. It is a lazy version of the American Dream complete with drive-through, supersized, and double fries.

Turns out a lot DO want to be American Idiots...

I wish I came up with this, but we really do need to draft Matthew Lesko to run in 2020. Trump would have no chance.

Feeling hopeful and I will say that I am happy Kamala Harris is VP. She is intelligent, young, and ambitious to be a good politician. Maybe she will be in dialog with the constituents and adjust goals, ideals, and plans to incorporate their voices. Politics should never be about picking an abstract ideology and imposing it on everyone, but to represent the people and make their needs and vision part of your own.

Excerpt from the 21-page opinion of the 3rd circuit court of appeals

Trump appointee Judge Bibas writes:

"Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."

In short - a panel of 3 Republican judges just blew the Trump campaign out the door. Case dismissed.

Recount in Wisconsin county demanded by Trump increases Biden's margin

Aww shucks *goofy grin*

Not only that, he seems to be openly grifting his own voters by his taking donations to fund his campaign's legal fight to overturn the election. An alleged billionaire needs to take donations to aid in his legal fight -- say it aloud until it starts to sound suspicious to you as well. Keep in mind this is the same guy that had to pay a $25,000,000 settlement for running a fake university and luring in poor unsuspecting people who trusted what they believed to be a brand name to help them learn how to be successful in the real estate business. But he wouldn't do that again....totally implausible. Definitely trust this guy with my money.

Yep. He is a con man. The thing that has surprised me the most of all of this is just how gullible otherwise intelligent people are.

And not just the gullibility, but the blinding emotional attachment/investment in him and his narrative.

I thought you were some kind of business man...

...with lifelong ties to the mob.
In the 1980's he was represented by the same law firm that represented the mob and had a close tie with Roy Cohn, the head of that law firm who was, "offering lessons in the use of bluster, bravado, and outright lies to his prize client and pupil, Donald Trump."

Trump was investigated by Guilani at the time because he rented one of the floors of Trump Tower to mobster, Robert Hopkins, who was later arrested there for organizing a mob hit. His lawyer? Roy Cohn.

I know people tend to avoid it when I bring it up, but when such a man as this is neighbors and party buddies for years with the people later arrested by the FBI for being the "kingpins" of child sex trafficking, it is beyond absurd to think he wasn't fully aware (or worse) of their criminal actions when he publicly praised both of them.

If you ask a Republican, that just means Trump knows how to do business in the real world. Very manly and such.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court strikes down GOP bid to stop election certification | TheHill

Yes, this crazy shit really is going on. Still. That the PA Supreme Court had to do this on a Saturday night is pathetic. Fuck you, traitors.

They need to recognize that it's over. The Joe Biden communist revolution has already begun. Credit card lobbyists are great at building socialism.

PA Lt. Governor John Fetterman is a great Twitter follow commenting on all of this happening in PA. But it also made me think of the future.

AOC/Fetterman 2024 - You know you want it.

I think I've heard about Fetterman before back in 2009 or so. I'll need to read more about him.
