Listen to this fool.  If the public is allowed easier access to voting, it will be the end of the GOP.  If people vote, it’s the end of the GOP. He’s friggen saying it!  
 

He wants to stifle voting to benefit the GOP.  It’s not even a back room strategy anymore. He’s saying it out loud.  

[Mr Dee]

IN CAPS!

HE MEANS IT!

The United States of America.
They might want to think about changing their name.
They are united no more..

[Mr Dee]

With the staggering amount of evidence facing her, this is probably the best answer she was prepared to give

 

 

[Mr Dee]

Can the President use anything more than CAPS in his response?

Good God. He’s insane.  

More than insane, he is a sociopath. He will have no hesitation in causing the deaths of thousands or even millions of it makes him feel good.

Trump is desperate — and encouraging violence from his superfans

“This whole thing is a distraction, and you know it,” Chris Cuomo of CNN said on Wednesday night, adding that Trump stirs the pot with this hateful nonsense to distract “from the dead and the dire situation that [he’s] basically ignoring.”

At this point Trump simply sounds like some homegrown version of a Russian bot.

It’s very hard to watch the corruption in the media where very few try to put things in an honest perspective. Everyone is trying to whip up hate for Donald Trump or protect Donald Trump. But who’s looking out for the folks? Bill O'Reilly tweet May 29th, 2020

 

Great poin . . .   Wait, what?

EXCLUSIVE: A gunshot was fired through a window of a Republican National Committee office in Mohave County, Arizona during a Trump Victory event Thursday night, GOP officials tell Fox News.

An RNC official told Fox News that at around 7:00 p.m., a group of five GOP volunteers were gathered in the Mohave County Republican Office in BullHead City, Ariz., to host an online “MAGA Meet Up” --an online tool the campaign uses to talk with supporters-- when a gunshot shattered a window near the front door.

Well, it sure as hell isn't Trump. All the time and energy a leader should be spending protecting and leading Trump is spending attacking critics, whining and playing golf.

So... time to flag the white house Twitter account? Dafuq?

Yup. I don’t condone the violence at all.  But this is a popular pushes to the brink.  It’s example after example of abuse by police with nothing being done about it.  Well have they got your attention now?

Trump has ‘sidelined’ the coronavirus task force — abdicating responsibility for the staggering death toll
Written by Joan McCarter / Daily Kos May 29, 2020

The deaths of more than 100,000 Americans from coronavirus this week have not been marked officially by the White House. The White House coronavirus task force headed up by Vice President Mike Pence hasn’t even issued a statement, much less conducted a briefing. But more disturbing, it has had just one meeting in a week, CNN reports.

‘I will never surrender’: Far-right Mississippi mayor refuses to resign after mindlessly defending officers involved in George Floyd’s death

Some conservatives and libertarians — from MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough to Judge Andrew Napolitano of Fox News — have been vehemently outspoken about the death of Minneapolis resident George Floyd, asserting that his death was absolutely inexcusable. Napolitano, in fact, has called for all four of the officers involved in Floyd’s death to face murder charges. But Hal Marx, the far-right Republican mayor of Petal, Mississippi, has defended the officers, and critics are calling for Marx’s resignation.

Senior Trump Official Used Connections to Help Relative Get a Job at the EPA: Watchdog
ABUSE OF POWER?

Douglas Domenech used his connections as assistant interior secretary to help his son-in-law get a job at the Environmental Protection Agency, according to a watchdog investigation. The Interior Department’s inspector general discovered that Domenech discussed the job for his relative with a senior EPA official on two occasions, once in person and another time via email, in 2017. He also advocated for another relative’s wedding-related business to that official, investigators found.

Trump on the warpath against China today, dear Leader will take no questions today .....................suck it peasants

Edited May 29, 2020 by bustamente

[Mr Dee]

Right now, at his news conference, Trump is lashing out at China in his biggest deflection yet. Almost everything is China’s fault and he is dissolving the States relation with the W.H.O. 
China is not playing by the rules. They violated the treaty with Hong Kong.
It’s all China, China, China.

Nothing about the charges against the Minneapolis officer, nor his tweeting about the event.

Then, he walked off as the coward he is.

So, after all that blather, the actual response to China is:

Criticizing Xi directly?
Imposing new tariffs on China?
Suspension of potential trade deals?

Nope

But Trump does plan to revoke Hong Kong’s preferential treatment as a separate customs and travel territory from the rest of China!!  The trade and investment relationship with Hong Kong that is distinct from the mainland, shielding the city from the US-China trade war.

That will really help the people in Hong Kong, moving forward.
Xi must be have a good laugh, there.
