Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

There are reports that Lindsey Graham has a habit of hiring homosexual escorts and asking them to call him Lady G.

I really hope it is true, and there is solid evidence of him getting caught in the act. I love watching people like him get exposed for the very things they rally so hard against.

Sooo many possibilities! I'm in love with Judas

[Felya]

OH!! Yeah I missed that. I was thinking "wtf does lady gaga have to do with this?"

Well... now all that makes sense... I was in the same boat... I thought she wore a meat costume again or something...

Asked about the tweet, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) responded: “Oh lord.”

Yea Susan, it's pretty inconvenient your party leader is a conspiracy theorist nutjob.

Fuck Susan Colins. Fuck the Republican party. Fuck the Senate Republicans more specifically. Fuck Trump. Fuck the right wing conspiracy theory media hellhole that fuels these nutters.

If you are still a member of the Republican party, you're complicit and a collaborator in all of this.

You are confusing Lisa and Susan... which is a pretty easy thing to do, since they are pretty much identical.

But sometimes they are "Seriously concerned" so that makes it all ok.

So I did. It's hard to tell those two apart given that they have nearly identical responses to everything.

I do find it funny how GOP Senators keep acting so inconvenienced by whatever the latest shit out of Trump's mouth was. I mean yes, I get that the media constantly hounding the latest outrage is why he does this in the first place, but no sympathy for the GOP Senators here. At a certain point, they should have considered that this barrage of insults and lies renders the man incapable of serving the nation, and voted to remove him. But with the sole exception of Mitt Romney, they didn't do a damn thing when they had the chance.

So screw them, they own every one of these tweets just as much as Trump does. None of them are supprising or shocking any more. If Trump calls George Floyd the N-Word on twitter tomorrow, I won't be surprised.

To be fair, I thought you were using Susan in the way Karen is used lately. A catch-all term for entitled bints.

Trump is quoting a literal russian propogandist disguised as a journalist
this is what the trumpers think is "real news"

https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/sta...97765395206144

and they have the gall to call themselves the "america first" party
but if anyone understands ww2 history and domestic politics knows america first was actually a group of people sympathic to hitler disguised as an anti war effort that had around 800k members

Gremlins in the machine....sorry for the duplicate post.

So...WSJ originally reporting that Trump almost had SoD Mark Esper fired for disagreeing with the use of active duty US military personnel to end the protests.

Donald Trump wants a military state that only answers to him.

Sounds a lot like Kim.

[Lenonis]

You already posted this 2.5 hours

yeah....no idea how that even happened.

Amy McGrath Takes Narrow Lead Over Mitch McConnell in Kentucky Senate Race, Poll Shows

Democratic senatorial candidate Amy McGrath appears to have a very narrow lead over Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky's race, according to a recent poll.

The polling, which was conducted by RMG Group, shows McGrath, a former Marine fighter pilot, with the support of 41 percent of voters, while McConnell is backed by 40 percent. However, the polling also showed that when voters are informed that McGrath supports congressional term limits while McConnell does not, her lead over the Republican jumps significantly.

With the candidates' positions on term limits factored in, McGrath was backed by 45 percent of respondents, while McConnell was supported by just 30 percent. But 17 percent of those surveyed were still undecided, and 8 percent said they'd vote for a different candidate.

"What this shows is that after 35 years of Mitch McConnell's partisanship and dysfunction, Kentuckians are ready for change. Lieutenant Colonel Amy McGrath believes in ending lifelong careers in the Senate and strongly supports a limit of two terms. Mitch McConnell has proven that being in office for decades has led to the politics of destruction and the Washington, D.C., swamp that everyone hates," Terry Sebastian, McGrath's senior communications strategist, told Newsweek in a statement.

Newsweek reached out to press representatives for McConnell for comment but did not hear back before publication.

McConnell is the longest-serving senator from Kentucky in U.S. history. The Republican first entered the Senate back in 1985. He took over as Senate minority leader in 2007 and became majority leader in 2015 after Republicans retook control of the chamber.

McConnell has proudly claimed the title of "Grim Reaper," boasting publicly about how he has thwarted Democratic legislation. In April 2019, he said he would block any progressive Democratic legislation brought to the Senate if his party still holds the majority following the November elections.

"If I'm still the majority leader of the Senate after next year, none of those things are going to pass the Senate," he told a crowd of supporters in Kentucky.

"They won't even be voted on. So think of me as the Grim Reaper: the guy who is going to make sure that socialism doesn't land on the president's desk," the senator said.

Democrats have made ousting McConnell a priority but face an uphill battle in deeply conservative Kentucky. Thus far, McGrath has significantly outperformed McConnell in fundraising. As of April, she had taken in $12.8 million during the first fundraising quarter of the year, compared with McConnell's $7.5 million.

McGrath has not yet secured her party's nomination, as the Kentucky primary will be held June 23. Several other candidates are seeking the nomination, but McGrath has received the most attention and support from the party.

Following the 2019 victory of Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear, in which he ousted a deeply unpopular Republican governor, Matt Bevin, Democrats have expressed optimism that they could flip McConnell's seat in 2020. But analysts have noted that Republicans largely swept all other major races in the state that year, which suggested that Beshear's victory was more a referendum on Bevin specifically and not the GOP.

One thing to note... The polls right now are probably the high point unless Trump does something even more awful.

Voters have a tendency to come home closer to the actual election.

Yeah, the rest of the administration is doing everything they can to keep Trump, Mr. Only I Can Fix This, Mr. Most Transparent Administration, Mr. Only The Best People and of course Mr. Tells It Like It Is from doing Trump things. Anyone waiting for him to grow into the role, congratulations, the role he's grown into is dictator.

Do you know what else amounts to erasing history? Pretending you didn't lose the Civil War.

I'm sure the state can "faithfully guard" the statue in a warehouse or basement somewhere.

I'm just honestly more amused by the fact these dipshit plaintiffs don't seem to have realised the entire reason Northam promised he'd take down the statue is because there was a very real risk that protesters would just demolish the thing themselves and probably do so in such a way as to irreparably damage it.

Delaying it just makes it more likely they get their statue back in pieces. Whatever hasn't been nicked by scrappers, I mean. *sips tea*

Is it the best shot ever to unseat McConnell. The left needs to unify to get this done ..... Bernie Sanders, AOC endorse Charles Booker in Kentucky's US Senate primary.




noooooooo

*ahem*

Multiple National Guard members called to DC have tested positive for coronavirus.

The UN Human Rights Council is looking into the US's treatment of military force on unarmed civilian peaceful protestors.

The Georgia primary voting is a mass of chaos filled with nonworking machines and an entire district vanished from the options.

Fauci says the nightmare of COVID-19 isn't over yet

And Trump is now both literally and figuratively caged in by his own words and actions.
@PhaelixWW is right. Those stories are all from today alone.

Hmm. I wonder if that was an intentional result of the court's ruling? "If I stall long enough, it won't be my problem anymore"

Why not, if SCOTUS can kick the tax return can until Trump's out of office why can't the Virginia judiciary kick the Confederate monuments can until protesters just rip the fucking thing apart? Lol.

Tbh they should pull down Nelson's statue in Trafalgar Square and replace it with one of William Wilberforce, to boot.
