Trouble for Biden is that he is fighting on multiple fronts. Obviously Trump, but also Kennedy and his idiotic fuelling the 1/6 riots theory and his “Biden is a worse threat to Democracy than Trump”. Netanyahu isn’t helping with Gaza and Iran. Then you have the Afghanistan inquiry in the House stirred up by the Republicans. Not to mention the MAGA cult. Russia chipping in of course. Just seems never ending. The only thing he seems to have on his side is time for some of this shit to sort itself out!!

Kennedy wont affect anything other than a family legacy they are already raging about him embarrassing. Not that they needed much help in that regard. He will take votes from Trump not Smokey Joe. The kind who cant bring themselves ro vote for the Mango Mussolini but wont be seen as 'liberal' whatever the jokers over there see that as

I agree with this and expect the No-Whatever party strategy to backfire. Had they thought through a more reasonable candidate it might have worked. But because it was an obvious GOP ruse from the beginning none other than a dipshit like Kennedy would take the mantle.

It’s still waaay too early to make prognostications about Nov 5th, as both camps haven’t really started campaigning. Yes, they’re both being more public, but that’s ALL about raising $$$$$$, not discussing the issues, esp for Biden.

As the recent data has shown, the U.S. economy is the envy of the world, high dollar, high tech manufacturing is being brought back to the U.S. and inflation has been brought under control, if not all the way down to the Fed’s preferred 2-3% level. Bond yields are back to historic norms and are indicating a low real rate, which suggests things are very good, and the stock market is flirting with even newer highs every session after breaking through pre-pandemic highs already!

However, to hear the Republicans talk, you would believe we are in economic free fall, 3-4% inflation is killing America, and the price of Snickers bar is some deep philosophical issue amongst the electorate.

In short, THINGS ARE VERY GOOD…with the exception of an immigration crisis at the southern border, which is being exacerbated by House Republicans who NOW don’t want to vote for the deal THEY WANTED AND BASICALLY WROTE, but Trump didn’t want for purely partisan political purposes!!!

Ask a Republican what Biden has done and it’s all doom and gloom but zero specifics. Ask the same person what Trump did and the vast majority will tell you everything was better and the border was secure, but they can’t name a single ACTUAL legislative accomplishment and almost everyone (Republicans!!!) who worked with him in government (“I only hire the best people!”) are openly opposed to him being anywhere near the White House ever again!

I’d love UK to be in the same shit as USA! If republicans want to see a real basket case, come here. Where is the UK equivalent to Biden’s Infrastructure Act, for example? We could call it The Pothole Act.
 


For Monday morning the whole thread is a proper brain breaker, even for people who work in politics every day, I hope someone makes a shorter deep dive and we'll see it in Reuters or Politico soon. Because that could explain so so much.

Biden camp have just started fundraising at scale and are clearly doing it well. The news coverage of the fund raiser with Obama clearly irked Trump and in his typical man child way he demanded doing something 'bigger and better'.

Did he really raise all the funds he claimed he did (suspiciously more than Biden)? All funding has to be disclosed so next set of returns will reveal all.

And in any event he will just spend them on legal costs.

Front page headline today, non-retraction at the end of the quarter will not even make page 64!

HE IS A CON MAN. ALMOST EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS A LIE. THE CULT DOESN’T CARE BECAUSE THEY DON’T BELIEVE THE PEOPLE WHO POINT OUT THE FACTS…FAKE NEWS!!!

He has perfected gaslighting. He says XYZ, when ABC is the truth. BUT, immediately after telling you XYZ, he will tell the Cult that the lying MSM will lie and tell you ABC.

The media tells you ABC, because it’s true, but the Cult then says, “They’re lying! Trump even told us they’d say this but it’s not true! XYZ is true. Trump told us and he even told us the lies that would be told.

TRUMP KNOWS EVERYTHING, WHICH IS WHY HE IS SUCH A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN, BILLIONAIRE AND WHY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSIEST FIRST LADY LOVES HIM SO MUCH, AND THE REST OF THE WORLD FEARS HIM SO MUCH!!!

And, the looney toons spiral deeper into the Cult! I work with plenty of people who believe his shit and think Biden is a senile old pedophile who has his wife, Jill, as his carer, and that the Obama-Soros Cabal is really running the country!!
 
Trumpers are in the same position as all those who rattle on about how City are guilty of 115 charges. When Trump goes to jail they are in for a real awakening which challenges the very core of their beliefs. When City are largely cleared, people like Delooney lose their raison d’etre. There will be suicides.
 
I think I have upset a few Trumper's on another forum when they were complaining about "socialist healthcare" in the UK, Europe, Canada and Australia, I asked if they held Bible Burning events because of Jesus healing the sick and not asking for any reward.
I was going to add about feeding the poor, turning water into wine and throwing the bankers out of the Temple, but didn't want to totally blow their minds
 
Allen Weisselberg has just been sentenced to another 5 months in Rikers Island for comitting perjury by lying under oath about the value of Trump's penthouse and Trump doesn't give a fuck about him.

Truly, everything Trump touches dies.

Allen Weisselberg is sentenced to jail for perjury in Trump’s civil fraud case

The former Trump Organization CFO was prosecuted by the same DA’s office that’s set to try Trump himself in the hush money case.

In the UK NHS, they have death panels to decide who gets treatment and who does not.
 
Wednesday. Just another day in chaotic world that is Trump…




And, it’s not like “Fake News” or “Make America Great Again” are very original, either!

Fake News came in after the Reichstag fire when Hitler, as Chancellor, closed the free press.

And “Make German Great Again” was a Hitler slogan.

Many Americans have a deep, if hidden, affinity with Hitler and his ideas, because many Americans really do think they are God’s Chosen ones and that they are the pinnacle of life on earth.

They look down their noses at Europe and other Allies as a soft touch because THEIR America wouldn’t allow those “bad” countries to talk to them in “that” tone or “those” words. Children, eh? Whaddyagonnado?!

God help us all.

Ironically Hitler wanted to emulate the US in Europe. The Poles and Jews were to be the Native Americans.
