    Of course, but there's degrees. Printing photos and video of Trump dragging his foot this close to the election is pretty hardcore as far as alt-right publication goes.

    Carlos Gavidia, who earned national attention for his "Trumptilla" boat parades, is expected to be charged with sending a threatening text, a felony, to a resident of his former Jupiter country club community after they clashed over politics, his attorney told The Palm Beach Post on Monday.

    Gavidia will surrender at the Palm Beach County Jail on Tuesday morning, said attorney Stuart Kaplan.
    Man, it's just one Trump supporter after another getting in trouble for threatening and harassing people. I wonder what they all have in common?

    I'm very amused by his oddly specific denial of a series of mini-strokes, something which I don't believe was made public from the book yet. Either he got an advanced copy somehow (doubtful) or... It's just a weirdly specific denial >.>

    Of course, but to go from "a stroke" to "series of mini-strokes" was an odd turn, no?

    Trump in July: And you have people coming over with bags of soup and the anarchists... start throwing it at our cops... And if it hits you, that’s worse than a brick because that’s got force... And when they get caught, they say, “No, this is just soup for my family.” https://t.co/xs9tcY9aA5

    With a complete lack of self-awareness or irony, the Trump campaign is demanding that CNN fire Joe Lockhart for 'knowingly pushing a conspiracy theory' about Trumps health.

    Never mind that their campaign is like at least 90% conspiracy theories.

    As Breccia said, all strokes are major. But a full on "stroke" vs a "series of mini strokes" is a ton of difference. My uncle had a series of mini strokes last month. He has no drooping/loss of control on one side, which is one of those "THAT'S A STROKE" signals. No major permanent damage to the brain from tissue death. He has some memory loss, had some impairment of control sporadically but not complete "The arm, I try to move it, it won't move". Yes there is some permanent damage, but most of it looks to be mending already according to brain meat scans. It's not completely beastfucking his life like a "stroke" would have been. It's only a minor buggering comparatively. A series of mini strokes, mild ones, would explain the glass, the walk, the impairment of cognitive ability. How/if he recovers will be the tell. Difference in a few years of age, with the uncle being a former marine then firefighter who is still in good shape VS a skin suit of void crabs and ooze could make a difference.

    It really is weird that they're using images from Trump's America to warn us about Biden's America.

    I'd tell them to stay in school but it clearly isn't helping.

    That has been their entire argument. It is like they are thinking that Biden has a time machine, from when he is president, to bring it back to when he isn't, to destroy Trump and his arguments. It doesn't make any fucking sense.

    Completely not the point. Trump is denying that he had a "series of mini-strokes". The thing is, nobody else seems to have floated the idea that he HAD suffered a series of mini-strokes. Only "a stroke". The fact that he didn't say "No, I didn't have a stroke" but instead said "No, I didn't have mini-strokes" apparently without anyone having suggested the latter suggests a bit of a Freudian slip.

    It makes perfect sense when you put it into this simple context.

    The Party of Trump has doubled down on an electoral strategy of white identity politics to the point they genuinely struggle to find an angle of attack against a milquetoast neoliberal like Biden. Hence the need to invent outright fiction, because any criticism of Biden is immediately rendered hypocritical by Trump just existing.

    "Series of mini-strokes" honestly does sound like jargon one would repeat from your GP, so the notion that it might confirm there have been visits to that effect holds water, I agree.

    This is Donald "I don't take responsibility at all" Trump's sycophants we're talking about. But at least it's good to know that they think Biden would be the more responsible leader when it comes to things that might happen on his watch. Sounds like a ringing endorsement to me...

    I predict that a big talking point after the first debate, will be Biden reminding Trump that he has been president for over 3 years. Remember when it was Trump supporters saying, “Trump is president, deal with it”? Touché...

    Oh and my credential for my predictions... they call me... Nostradumbass...
