Trump bluffs about being released on Monday, all he needs are tissue boxes for shoes, and jars…
Trump staves off the 25th Amendment chatter as Biden leads nationally by 14%. Lots of Twitter acting like diagnosticians, as disinformation and spin rule the day. x Team Trump wants you to believe he will be released as early as Monday for the stock market. Nothing else. — MeidasTouch.com (@MeidasTouch) October 4, 2020 And then…
Crying 8-year-old special needs boy handcuffed, arrested, and booked for felony battery.
A video of an eight-year-old boy arrested at Gerald Adams Elementary School in Key West, Florida, for allegedly punching a teacher in the chest has recently emerged. The child’s arrest occurred in 2018 but has just now become public. Attorney Ben Crump posted the video on Twitter. He will be representing the family in a civil…
Trump wants Albert Pike statue put back up because he needs more DC street violence again
Like a teen-aged pin-boy, Trump wants demonstrators and their heads cracked, much like his #BunkerBoy need for that St John’s church photo-op. Because the only Confederate outdoor statue on federal property needs to be a target for DC demonstrators so troops can be called out. Rinse, Repeat. Darn that Grand Army of the Republic; Punxsutawney Pike and Groundhog Day….
Jon Stewart Nails It On Joe Biden, “In this moment this country needs a leader of humility.”
Jon Stewart reunited with his former Daily Show colleague and current Late Show host, Stephen Colbert tonight. Of course the big topic of discussion was the 2020 election. While Stewart admitted that Joe Biden was not his first choice in the Democratic primary, Stewart brought up something that I always felt was Biden’s strongest trait…
disinfo 101: Statues will be safer than you are from COVID19 because Trump needs to be re-elected
Because sociopaths are letting their freak-flag fly, here are some disinformation examples, each with problematic media frames. x Given the circumstances, if mom, in her duty to protect her child, temporarily lost her mind and opened a can on this person, would she be charged? Asking for a friend. — Grace (@GraceOCasey) June 23, 2020 x…
Should we be concerned that Trump needs two hands to drink a glass of water?
Today at West Point: x Trump at West Point. Still unable to drink a glass of water with one hand. Someone get him a sippy cup.pic.twitter.com/0V3yxt2KUl— LiA (@LibsInAmerica) June 13, 2020 I don’t want to make fun of people with serious medical issues, but Republicans opened up this can of worms four years ago when…
Trump's at the golf course today, because he needs a break from causing chaos (and death)
Golfing during a pandemic, the three day weekend begins for Trump. x According to the pool report, the White House says that Trump has landed at the Bedminster Landing Zone. Trump is staying at one of his own Trump properties, as he used to do on many weekends before the pandemic that has killed more…
COVID-19 is coming back and Trump needs to combat Korean boy-bands #2MforBLM
Trump having already killed 36-65,000 Americans by his inaction, the global “second wave” is beginning to level and then tick upward. Greater travel and trade will continue the spread until an actual vaccine is available. Like more comprehensive testing, vaccines will not be globally available for a year. x pic.twitter.com/mB8t6IJacG — Spurc (@Spurc1) June 7, 2020 The…
Matt Gaetz needs to hunt Identity Evropa. Day protests versus Night “unrest” as curfews continue
We are at an interesting point, the necessity for socially distanced behavior and the imposition of De Facto martial law. Even as there is peaceful protest during the day time, there will be problematic police behavior in the evening. Remember that Trump needs martial law or at least its quasi-military manifestation to get re-elected. Recall that dictatorships…
Trump only needs to turn enough voters against authorities in enough swing states to get re-elected
How strange will it be that Trump will do things to attract reactionaries regardless of age grouping especially white ones at least until he can betray them after 3 November. x The First Lady is joining her less-popular husband tomorrow for a call with governors. She has advocated mask-wearing as the president has treated it…
Trump Needs to Divide a Uniting Nation
The Great Orange Shitgibbet ™ has always operated on the “divide and conquer” principle. He has said he loves chaos, but what that also means is that he loves division, so that people get so busy fighting each other they are unable to unite against him. That strategy worked to get him elected, and it…
Fauci: US needs to double COVID testing before reopening economy
Without sarcasm, Trump’s disinforming claims of the total number of tests have little to do with the number of per capita tests needed. Trump says he disagrees with Fauci comments that U.S. needs more coronavirus testing. In January, Trump did not push for adequate testing. The U.S. should at least double coronavirus testing in the coming weeks before…
US needs to triple the number of COVID tests to 500-700,000 per day before any “reopening”
A new Harvard report shows that testing needs to be immediately ramped up by at least three times beyond its current level. The difficulty of raising the level of testing depends on scaling up local, regional, and state levels, and despite the manufacturing of artificial markets and logistics for PPEs and testing technology. Sadly the entire system of…
LIVE BLOG: COVID Taskforce Presser – Trump defunds WHO because he needs a scapegoat
LIVE BLOG below (presser likely will start 30-45 minutes late*) 5:00* 6:15 PM EDT Members of the Coronavirus Task Force Hold a Press Briefing at The White House (in the Rose Garden) What fresh psychodrama is this?

Trump says the metrics he needs to make decision to reopen country are in his head
We. Are. Fucked. Question: What metrics will you use to make that decision? Trump while pointing to his head: The metrics right here. That’s my metrics. pic.twitter.com/SIbO5N6Bqx — Acyn Torabi (@Acyn) April 10, 2020 REPORTER: “Can you say, sir, what metrics you will use to make that decision?” TRUMP: “The metrics right here [points at…

Biden needs to scream!!! Price gougers will be hunted down by his administration and punished
Do you want to know why the Chinese government survives. Because they do thing slike during the crisis in Wuhan the government tracked down and punished price gougers severely. Legend has it that many of them were shot (may not be true but I think many Chinese people believe it). In any case no matter…
'Will everyone who needs a ventilator get one?' Trump: “Don’t be a cutie-pie.”
We are not so much in uncharted territory as much as the Twilight Zone. Death Cab for Cutie-pie x So let me get this straight: the Trump administration is willing to hand out $500B to corporations to save executives, but isn't willing to spend $1 billion on more ventilators to save the American people? — Robert…
Trump low-balled the COVID-19 pandemic because he needs chaos to win the election & make $
Dithering is not a deregulatory policy. Nor is thinking that 1-2 million deaths are acceptable to get re-elected. Yet Trump does seem to subscribe to a risk model that rewards his benefactors and supporters over anyone else. Trump has been now proven daily to peddle unsubstantiated hope in dark times. Trump is draconian in a Harry Potter way, surviving the…
