What the hell is Donnie talking about?
May 20, 2020, 9:59 AM

He doesn't control how elections are handled in states.
Not to mention he has already said he is going to withold funding for mail in ballots. Guess Michigan is giving up that big ol bag of zero dollars.

He realizes he is on shaky ground now to win the election, so he is getting his conspiracy theories in order for when he is spreading hatred and division over the years after he is out of office. The worst of Trump has yet to be seen if he loses imo. He will get even uglier out of office.

I assume that whenever he leaves office (however rough the transition might be) he will pour his focus into making Junior a politician. Gotta grow the brand.

Ivanka is the only one in that group with any legitimate political potential. Junior is a career back up player.

He was spewing absurd BS before he was elected, and everyone just laughed because, who cares what Donald Trump says, it doesn’t affect us. After he is out of office, I won’t care one bit what he says or does, because it won’t affect me anymore.

How is it negatively affecting you now? Are you now at a loss due to Trump? What exactly has he done that personally has affected you negatively.
Seriously asking. Especially pre-Corona virus, like how was he hurting you. Also, post Corona, how is he hurting you personally?

Ignoring the fact that as Americans we all have a personal
May 20, 2020, 1:53 PM
|

stake in what the president does or how they shape our values as a nation, the biggest thing for me is that he has been too childish and ineffective to get an infrastructure bill passed. This negatively affects the business I draw my income from. Also when he shut down the government because he didn’t get his wall funding, that hurt my wallet as well. Increasing our national debt affects all of us as we spend money on unnecessary things instead of things that will benefit the country. And I guess as an American I can’t complain if our president is a total embarrassment? That may not affect my wallet or my family, but it certainly makes me less proud to be a part of a country that elects someone like him.

The thing most folks, in my opinion, seem to be underestimating is how much antipathy is going to exist for him once he's out of office...and how much of his behavior is being covered up by "conservative media".
Once Fox News turns on him, I think he's in dire trouble. As long as he's in office, playing to his base, and greasing the big wheels of the 1%, he's useful.
The second he falters or leaves office, the knives will come out...and he has no real friends. None. All his relationships are transactional. But his enemies will remain faithful enemies long after he leaves office, and Donald J. Trump, private citizen, is going to be utterly incapable of dealing with the legion of enemies he's worked so very hard as president to accumulate.
Starting with the SDNY, the subpoenas, lawsuits, and investigations are almost certainly going to come fast and furious, and there will be nowhere left on Earth he can run. And long before then his erstwhile enablers in the "conservative media" will have deserted and turned on him...because he really is a malevolent clown with zero redeeming qualities, and once he's of no further use, why would they continue to cover for him?
The difference between love and fear, from a practical standpoint, is people still love you even if you aren't in power anymore.

There’s so much wrong with this post.
May 20, 2020, 7:06 PM

First off, Fox would never turn on Trump. His behavior is not being covered up at all, he’s getting exposed and roasted by most media outlets that aren’t Fox, Rush, or OANN.
He won’t have to deal with these “enemies,” because he’s not in office trying to politic anymore . He will just hang out and golf and collect checks from his businesses.
He’s not going to get charged with anything when he leaves office, and he’s not going to be suddenly hit with all these lawsuits.
Once presidents leave office, they are rarely heard from unless they want to be. Look at Bush, the dude is off the grid. Obama will pipe up now and then, but only because he wants to.

perspective, you are making the assumption that he is saying that the authorization needs to come from him and that the funding he is referring to is specifically for the election.

I honestly don't know. I only see Tweets from the President on here. Maybe each one needs to be taken deadly seriously? I was just saying that you were having a response to words that technically were not on that Tweet.

why don't you do what you normally do and tell us what Donnie was ACTUALLY saying here.
Or do you need to wait for Hannity?
It's crazy that we are literally watching through posts how media pushes people to extremes with you.

He infers, then adds in what the “thinks” others are saying and then spouts his feelings.
He is too dumb to be a troll. That is giving him too much credit.
Get ready for the TD’s as well. Oh the humanity!

That is fair. I'm just not sure I understand the difference between your analysis and the OP?
There is just so much wrong with that tweet that it seems illogical to try to give it any sort of credible defense.

according to this, Michigan had 7,471,088 registered voters in 2018, DOWN from 2016. Who did they send the extra few hundred thousand ballots to? Any guesses?
Or do you think found an additional 300K new voters?

The problem with that comes when people move, and ballots are lost or someone happens to get their hands on it.
