Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[zorkuus]

Trump is sending these messages to people. lmao.

One final grift. I would say that's pathetic but sadly lots of idiots will fall for it.

A soon-to-be ex-President getting in as much grift as he can before he is forced to vacate the office. Anyone sending cash is just paying off Trump debt.

The worst part is that people fall for it and continue to send their money.

I'm not sure the grift will ever stop. Trump will is considering announcing a 2024 Presidential campaign, on inauguration day no less, which opens the door to endless rounds of future grifting.

Perhaps they can use it for his legal defense fund.

Trump is a failed millionaire pretending to be a billionaire, who has massive debt coming due. Ofcourse he is going to grift, not like he knows how to actually earn money.

It's not even going to be "one final grift", when Trump is forced out of the white house, team Trump is going to continue to fish for donations for Trump 2024 (only to in reality stuff Trump's own pockets). I don't normally like to predict future events with such certainty, but we all know Trump has spent his entire life scamming people out of their money.

143,373 new cases; 1,216 deaths. The total is now 272,254.

I'm not bothering to look for records today because I don't really expect many if any. It's disappointing how far behind the testing and reporting gets with just one day off.

It really says a lot that even during the holiday with the huge amount of undercounts we're still breaking 100k new cases and 1k deaths. I'm not exactly sure when things will get back on track with testing and such. The last holiday messed things up for about a week so the numbers might not be reliable again until Wednesday or so. Tomorrow and Monday will be pretty garbage reporting as usual.

JH says we passed 200k cases on Friday but that's likely due to corrections/combined daily totals (as a reminder, worldometers usually spreads corrections out over previous days when data suggests it).

It's such an abusive relationship they're in. Kinda funny when you think about it being a parable for Trump's ENTIRE LIFE.

Holy SHIT is this hilarious...

Speechwriter's revolt or just coincidence?

[Blur4stuff]

I imagine everyone that's been involved in the Trump administration, from Pence on down, are currently working very hard to cover their own ass.

Kushner travels to the Middle East to resolve the Saudi/Qatar dispute.

Hmm. Hasn't had enough of failing I see. Or, maybe he'll (uncharacteristically) succeed, a month after such a success would have been useful. Again, too little too late, more so if this attempt, like all his others, fails.

in that vein, has there been any blowback from the UAE since congress (yes including the GOP) is out to block the weapons bribes for "peace" sales?

I have seen no new developments.

138,188 new cases; 819 deaths. The total is now 273,072. Even given that numbers are still going to be off and it's a Sunday, these aren't good. They're slightly lower than what they were last Sunday, but testing and reporting haven't gone back up to normal levels since the holiday so I'm not going to jump the gun and claim we're on the back half of the curve.

Once again I'm not going to go hunting for records because I'm not expecting any. Tomorrow will likely be about the same and by Tuesday or Wednesday reporting should be back to some semblance of normal. Then we'll be able to see where we are with a bit more clarity. I'm not looking forward to it.

What? Medical professionals with years of both practice and policy experience? Why haven't any of Biden's close family members been appointed to these boards? Why aren't his close donors being appointed to critical infrastructure roles? Is this any way to run a presidency?!


yet another reason to laugh off anyone claiming "both sides" about anything Trump-Biden related. Biden will actually fill positions with people qualified to do them. And to the, as you noted 270,000, people who lost their lives Trump's utter incompetence and nepotism wasn't some simple "game of political intrigue."

He's going to have an even harder time with the nurgle cultists now occupying courts and insisting that their plague spreading religions are above the law.

Whoever heard of using qualified people who are experts in their field. Everyone knows that choosing family and high paying donors to fill the position is the right way to go. I mean look at how Trump's administration has dealt with the Covid pandemic. If Trump had qualified experts then the death toll for America would be 1 trillion people like totally over half the U.S. population. So only 273,000 people dying is showing how super amazing Trump and his administration are.

The issue is not mink dying from corona virus, the issue is the virus mutating in mink and potentially becoming a new variant for which vaccines are inefficient for humans

THis look so similar to the emails to those scam emails/ransom ware etc that it's kind of disturbing that somebody from a campaign came up this. I mean based on the content itself I believe this should just go directly to the spam folder but hey, I don't want to kink shame people.

I honestly thought the post was about scammers using the election to make money when I read his post :O.

[Breccia]

Old man yells at passing cloud, I mean, Trump tweets about 60 Minutes most recent interview.

"Oh, the one he walked out of?"

No no, the one with Krebs. His head of "the cyber" that said this was the most secure election in history...for which, Trump fired him.

"What did he say that was such a problem?"

Our 2020 Election, from poorly rated Dominion to a Country FLOODED with unaccounted for Mail-In ballots, was probably our least secure EVER!

"Sorry, I meant, what did Krebs say that was such a problem?"

We did a good job. We did it right. I'd do it a thousand times over
