Trumpite Americans, when will you finally acknowledge your leader is a joke?

I don't think anybody does.

Pepperidge Farm remembers. He was taking a dump and tweeting madly before the car came around to take him to the golf course because he was attempting to distract from whatever the current Crisis That a Real Leader Would Have Taken Care of was making news everywhere but FOX and OAN.

Oh, he trusts FOX again? I thought they were on his shitlist. Fickle bastid.

They just can't quit each other.

Three emails so far today.

#1 I'm now a member of the "Trump 100 Club."
#2 "Thank you for all your hard work!"
#3 "The Polls are LYING!"

#4: I need you.

Our Nation needs you.

I am facing unprecedented challenges from the Fake News media and their Democrat Partners.

With just over 50 days until the Election, they are coming after me more viciously than EVER before. It’s NEVER going to stop, which is why I’m counting on YOUR support during this critical time.

Former federal prosecutor says Trump committed 2nd degree murder.
Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner thinks President Trump's coronavirus admissions should land him in prison.
Trump's insistence in March that he wanted to "play down" the coronavirus threat despite knowing its deadliness "upped his own criminal ante to second-degree murder," Kirschner said, breaking down the pieces of the alleged charge step by step.
"There are only two elements for second-degree murder. The first is you caused the death of another," Kirschner said Thursday. That factor was fulfilled because Trump "was lying to the American people about the danger this virus posed," and now 190,000 people are dead, Kirschner said. "The second element is the intent element," which would "get tricky if we didn't have Trump's incriminating admissions," he continued. But "in my opinion as a career prosecutor," Trump admitted to "conscious disregard" of the risk his coronavirus downplay created, thus admitting to "second-degree murder" that he "must be held accountable" for, Kirschner finished.

#5:

We just sent President Trump the first round of entrants to win an opportunity to meet him in Washington, D.C., on September 25th, and he was disappointed that your name was MISSING.

Why is that?

GOOD NEWS - there is still time to enter to win this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and a guest of your choice.

#6: Still trying to sell me a personalized yard sign. I suggested he send them to the people burned out in the three states he's ignoring.

#7: Reminding me about the Nobel Peace Prize (at least they spelled it right this time). With that same doofy photoshop of him holding that idiotic trophy. But IT'S HISTORIC because he brokered a peace deal in the Middle East!

This time there was a poll. Did I think he deserved to win the Nobel? Three guesses. Unfortunately there was no little box for me to explain my answers, though.

ETA: Wait till he finds out it's not a great big loving cup, but a gold coin that can fit in the palm of even his tiny hands...

I don't slur my words that badly when I'm shitfaced drunk.

You really think it is that small?

All due respect to Glenn Kirschner, but I'm seriously doubting that whatever definition of second-degree murder could be made to apply to Trump's lying about the deadliness of the coronavirus. The causation element undoubtedly has to be much more direct than giving people a false sense of security about the virus, for starters.

#8: They've just noticed my donation is missing. How can they win if I don't send them money?

partisan fantasy from reality.
These are some of the most worrying and eye-opening sections of the book.
Trump changed US policy towards the Palestinians after Benjamin Netanyahu showed him a crudely forged video of Mahmoud Abbas ordering murders
During one of his visits to Washington early in Trump’s first year in office, the President reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he believed his government, not the Palestinians, might be the real problem holding back the peace process.
But, as Woodward reveals, Trump’s tone shifted markedly after his first visit to Israel as President in May 2017.
During a meeting with Netanyahu at Tel Aviv’s King David Hotel, White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner pulled then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson into a meeting because Trump was upset at a video Netanyahu had showed him.
“Watch this! This is unbelievable! You’ve got to see this,” Trump said to Tillerson, before ordering staff to play what Tillerson believed to be a crudely fabricated video of Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas making inflammatory statements.
The video, which Tillerson believed was either faked or manipulated (according to Woodward), showed Abbas supposedly ordering the murder of children by stringing together out-of-context words and sentences.
“And that’s the guy you want to help?” Netanyahu asked Trump.
When the Israeli leader (now being tried on corruption charges) had left the room, Tillerson said to Trump: “Mr President, you realize that the whole thing was fabricated?”
“Well it's not fabricated,” Trump replied. “They got the guy on tape saying it.”
The next day, he privately berated Abbas when the two met in Bethlehem, calling him a “liar” and a “murderer” who had “tricked [him]” into believing that the longtime Palestinian leader could be trusted. The next year, he canceled nearly all US aid to the Palestinian territories and ordered the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s office in Washington DC to be shuttered.

After he was warned that Devin Nunes was giving him false information on ‘unmasking’, Trump said he should receive the Medal of Honor
California Representative Devin Nunes made headlines in early 2018 for his repeated allegations that Obama administration officials had improperly “unmasked” the names of Trump associates, including former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
So-called unmasking is the process by which high-government officials can request to have the names of Americans caught on foreign surveillance — which are normally “masked” to protect privacy — revealed in order to get a full picture of the conversation being reviewed.
The oft-repeated allegations that “unmasking” was done improperly on orders of Obama administration officials, though baseless, have made up the bulk of the amorphous conspiracy theory Trumpworld figures have dubbed “Obamagate,” and which Trump — without evidence — has called the “greatest political crime in American history”.
But when then-Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats tried setting the record straight on unmasking — which is a common occurrence in intelligence collection and analysis — Trump was not receptive to the facts.
“Mr President, I know Devin Nunes is trying to be doing everything he can to support you. But he passes information to you that turns out to be false. In the end, it hurts you. Devin has told you something that is not true,” Coats said, according to Woodward. He then suggested to Trump that if he were to contact the ODNI to verify information provided by Nunes, it would “put [Trump] in a better position” because Coats’ office could “assess whether or not what has been said is backed up by the evidence”.
But Trump, Woodward writes, was uninterested in such things, and instead responded: “Devin Nunes is the most courageous person in town.”
Woodward added that Trump also told others he believed the California Republican — who has never served in the US Armed Forces — deserved the Medal of Honor, which is highest decoration a US service member can be awarded. According to US law, it can only be bestowed upon military personnel for “conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty”.

Trump has no interest in listening to national security experts
According to Woodward, Coates said the greatest threat posed to the US national security apparatus is that Trump wanted to ignore any process that utilized the government’s many career experts.
“In effect, and often literally,” he wrote, “the President said: I don't need that to be done. I don't need these people. I don't need a National Security Council. I just need myself, and perhaps three or four people I trust and work with.”

Sunday's email report as of 10 a.m. PDT:

#1 A duplicate of the one from yesterday showing that I hadn't donated yet, under the caption "We Must Win."
#2 A poll* about the vaccine (code name: Operation Warp Speed) and how Sleepy Joe and Phony Kamala were conspiring with the Fake News Media to spread lies about attempts to "eradicate the China Virus." Yeah, he's still calling it that.
#3 Under the caption CLASSIFIED - a notification that if I contribute right this minute I can be part of the 100 Club (upgraded from yesterday's 1000 Club). TBC...

*Also, I'm informed, Donnie-boy personally reviews all of these polls.

I got this text from them today

DID YOU SEE THIS?

Pres Trump EXTENDED your 800%-MATCH OFFER for 1 HOUR. Can we tell him you stepped up, friend? Donate NOW: bit.ly/2RiXVQX

What are you waiting for? Don't you understand how urgent this is? How will he ever single-handedly cure the "China Virus" without your help?

But that surely wouldn't be single handed?

Given the size of his hands, he'll need both. Someone else can hold his water glass for him while he does it.

Because with much of the West Coast on fire, this is who you want.

Hmm, only three emails today. I am disappoint. A separate source tells me MAGAC has blown $65 million on YouTube ads. Maybe they've had to cut back somewhere else.

and yet in some ways very much NOT a joke

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...2mtIxKP9x5waJpIs44nbaT8i503i2LkqX96AYch8vLKR0

Roger Stone, whose 40-month prison sentence for lying to Congress and witness tampering in the Russia investigation was commuted by Donald Trump, has said Trump should seize total power and jail prominent figures including Bill and Hillary Clinton and Mark Zuckerberg if he loses to Joe Biden in November.

The long-time Republican dirty trickster, who has a tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back, offered the startling advice on Thursday, in a call to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s Infowars online show.


Citing widely debunked claims of fraud around early voting, absentee balloting and voting by mail, Stone told Jones Trump should consider invoking the Insurrection Act and arresting the Clintons, former Senate majority leader Harry Reid, Zuckerberg, Tim Cook of Apple and “anybody else who can be proven to be involved in illegal activity”.

He also said: “The ballots in Nevada on election night should be seized by federal marshals and taken from the state. They are completely corrupted. No votes should be counted from the state of Nevada if that turns out to be the provable case. Send federal marshals to the Clark county board of elections, Mr President!”


Trump and his campaign have also consistently claimed without evidence that “antifa”, or anti-fascist, activists represent a deadly threat to suburban voters that will be unleashed should Biden win. Commenting on a Daily Beast report about leftwing activist groups planning what to do “if the election ends without a clear outcome or with a Biden win that Trump refuses to recognise”, Stone told Jones the website should be shut down.

“If the Daily Beast is involved in provably seditious and illegal activities,” he said, “their entire staff can be taken into custody and their office can be shut down. They wanna play war, this is war.”

Stone also advocated “forming an election day operation using the FBI, federal marshals and Republican state officials across the country to be prepared to file legal objections [to results] and if necessary to physically stand in the way of criminal activity”.

In an interview broadcast on Saturday night, Trump told Fox News he would happily “put down” any leftwing protests.

“We’ll put them down very quickly if they do that,”

“We have the right to do that. We have the power to do that if we want. Look, it’s called insurrection. We just send in and we, we do it very easy. I mean, it’s very easy. I’d rather not do that, because there’s no reason for it, but if we had to, we’d do that and put it down within minutes, within minutes.”

In his interview with Fox News, Trump discussed an incident in the city in which US Marshals shot dead a suspect in the killing of a member of a rightwing group.

“There has to be retribution when you have crime like this,” Trump said.

He also said protests such as those in Portland would lead to “a backlash” from the political right, “the likes of which you haven’t seen in many, many years”.

Still no MAGAC emails today (maybe they've finally caught on to me), but in other news:
