From the White House yesterday

"Science should not stand in the way of reopening schools".

Yes, they are literally declaring science the enemy of their pandemic policy.

Trump campaign people are posting videos of what is happening in Trump's America... right now... and saying that that is what it will look like if people elect Biden, and boy is that video scary, so they better elect Trump.


Just how stupid is the average Trump voter?

(Rhetorical question)

Sheesh.

A thread popped up on Reddit, along the lines of can a President be impeached for being racist.

You can pick the Trump supporters, they're the ones who don't know what the US Constitution says or what things mean.

Amongst everything that's happening, it's easy to forget Trump's earlier bullshit. Like, remember the Wall? How it was to be the greatest, most unassailable wall that noone could cross?

Turns out, it apparently can't withstand wind?

I wonder if Mexico's gonna pay for that....

A border wall.

With Mexico.

That can't stand high winds.

The jokes just write themselves.

Turns out Trump, in typical toddler fashion, got jealous Fauci was getting attention throwing out the first pitch at a Nationals game and reacted like your average 5 year old and acted out to get the attention back on him... by announcing he was throwing out the first pitch at a Yankees game.

Which it turns out he had not been invited to do.

President of the United States ladies and gentlemen. Just our regular reminder a grown man with both the maturity and the impulse control of a kindergarten student is running the country.

So Trump had a tweet deleted and Trump Jr got his Twitter account suspended for tweeting disinformation about Covid 19 quackery and hydroxychloroquine again.

No, that's not the "can't make it up" part.

This is the "doctor" they were using their platform to publicize:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/stella-im ... hloroquine

Immanuel, a pediatrician and a religious minister, has a history of making bizarre claims about medical topics and other issues. She has often claimed that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are in fact caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches.

She alleges alien DNA is currently used in medical treatments, and that scientists are cooking up a vaccine to prevent people from being religious. And, despite appearing in Washington, D.C. to lobby Congress on Monday, she has said that the government is run in part not by humans but by “reptilians” and other aliens.


That is who the President of the United States is hyping in the middle of a pandemic between rounds of golf as we cross the 150,000 dead mark with no national response plan in sight after 6 months.

It never occurred to me to think of Trump and his minions as reptiles and aliens, but hey, That's not bad!! :lol:

Hope he keeps playing golf. Since he insists on screwing up everything he touches, having him on the golf course as much as possible is probably good for the country.

Reasonable people: "ICE and DHS are kinda operating like Nazis"

ICE: "Wir sind keine "Nazis", wir befolgen nur unsere Befehle!"*




* Translated: "We are no 'Nazis', we're just following orders!", aka the Nuremberg defence....

I never realised how badly managed Homeland security is under Trump.
The secretary is blatantly illegal, and none of the 5 people under him have been confirmed by the Senate like they are supposed to be.
Well, one was. One of the undersecretary's was confirmed,but is a the guy illegally acting as secretary.

And yes,there's a bunch of people at the next level down who are also unconfirmed.

Or, to put it another way.
The 9 top Homeland Security people involved with sending groups into Portland et al are all unconfirmed, and one of whom is illegal.

Especially bad when the GOP actually dominate the Senate.

How bad do these people have to be that they aren't a shoe in for Senate confirmation in a Senate Trump theoretically controls?
