Makes perfect sense. Putin sends them money to kill American troops.trump calls US service personnel “losers” and “suckers.”

“Abe Lincoln may have freed all men, but Sam Colt keeps white men more free”. I trust you're not that familiar with LE in Michigan. There the law lets militia groups run around the legislature armed with AR-15s. It allows better planning if "citizens arrests" need to take place. Yah know, get familiar with all the doors, hallways, points of ingress and egress. Trump hasn't said a word about his entire affair. He is likely just too happy about how his men are "standing by" for him.

Well trump and his enablers have an answer.

“I’d like to punch him in the face”Trump said this in front of a crowd of supporters, after a protester was removed from one of his rallies in Las Vegas on 23 February 2016. When the "Commander In Chief" speaks people listen.

Nah just a Friday and a willingness to throw some around to see where it sticks.

Imagine President Putin listening to a briefing about Rand Paul's tweet. Trying to make sense of it. Tweets like this, trump's statements this last week, Qanon, the Michigan arrests. Is this what the fall of the Roman empire was like at the start? The gaslighting is beginning to take effect. January 20th...January 20th...January 20th...

FIFY. Nothing about the trump/GOP coalition seem to have common sense as a core starting point anymore. trump's actions and statements in the last 3-4 days seem to indicate powerful steroids at work on his conscious. No republicans dare voice opposition to his baiting and priming of white supremacists. Or his refusal to commit to a recognition of the finality of a democratic ballot outcome. Does anyone here even imagine that Donald trump will suddenly do a 180 after the election and refuse to play the cards he has hidden in his pockets? Refuse to deploy his followers who love guns and hate government. Hate those who trump labels as "monsters", "socialists", "communists", etc.

I believe you. The courts and politicians have treated white collar criminals with velvet gloves for decades. While stupid drug and petty crime warrants years behind bars. Blame judges and politicians.

"Elliott Broidy, a prominent fundraiser for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party, has been charged in an illicit lobbying campaign aimed at getting the Trump administration to drop an investigation into the multibillion-dollar looting of a Malaysian state investment fund. Broidy is the latest person accused by the Justice Department of participating in the covert lobbying effort, which also sought to arrange for the return of a Chinese dissident living in the U.S. A consultant, Nickie Lum Davis, pleaded guilty in August federal court in Hawaii for her role in the scheme." "Broidy, who is based in Los Angeles, was a prominent financier and George W. Bush supporter in the 2000s known throughout the Republican Party for the elaborate fundraisers he threw at his Bel-Air mansion. In 2009, then-New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo charged Broidy for effectively bribing the New York State comptroller in exchange for a $250 million investment in Broidy’s private equity fund. Broidy pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and largely disappeared from Republican politics. He resurfaced in the 2016 presidential race with donations to several other GOP contenders before he joined the Trump campaign’s fundraising team."

"Federal agents said Thursday they thwarted a plot to violently overthrow the government and kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that included visits to her home in northern Michigan and training with explosive devices. The alleged plot involved conspirators who met during a Second Amendment rally at the Capitol in Lansing in June and reached out to members of a Michigan militia known as the Wolverine Watchmen for reinforcements, according to state and federal officials." Once again radical right wing extremist militias hide behind the 2nd amendment to plot against law and order. Q and all the other right wing groups plot and scheme with the protection of trump. "The court filing alleges the conspirators twice conducted surveillance at Whitmer's personal vacation home in northern Michigan and discussed kidnapping her to a "secure location" in Wisconsin to stand "trial" for treason prior to the Nov. 3 election. "Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. "The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message."

The best rise to the top sooner or later.

Lucifer is calling in his chips from the Faustian bargain.

"The New York state attorney general is asking for a court to compel Eric Trump to be deposed in an investigation of the Trump Organization. In court filings Monday, Letitia James' office said Eric Trump initially agreed to sit for a deposition on July 22, only to refuse, "balking less than two days before he was scheduled by agreement to give testimony."... Trump's long-time tax attorney Sheri Dillon was also deposed but the state says she declined to answer certain questions. Several Trump Organization properties' financial dealings are being scrutinized as part of the investigation including Seven Springs Estate in Westchester County, New York; 40 Wall Street, a building in Lower Manhattan; Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago; and Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles. The filings allege, among other things, that Trump has omitted the Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago from his financial statements since 2009, and that in 2010, Fortress Credit Corporation agreed to forgive more than $100 million of the $150 million that was owed on the loan, as part of a discounted loan prepayment agreement. The filing states that the amount of money that was forgiven "may have been a taxable event to the borrower," and part of James' investigation is to determine if Trump listed that on his tax returns." Ah whats a little $100 million tax fraud issue for the trump clan! A drop in the bucket.

Well I have to throw in with Joe and Jerry on this.Sorry Bill. For lack of a better term call it compassionate moderates. Why insist upon treating trump like he treated the children of immigrants by separating them from their parents unfairly. Ivanka, Donald Jr.and Eric should not be separated from donald when they head off on their 10-30 year stretches at Rikers Island for tax fraud.

As a host of superspreader events and a superspreader himself. He may be onto something. Previously he stated that "herd immunity" is the objective. He seems to be favoring the GOP herd at this time. Since trump was infected there have been more new cases at the WH than in New Zealand and Vietnam combined. MAGA

Today: U.S. trade deficit jumps to largest in 14 years. trade deficit with China $26.4 billion in August. Two years ago on FOX. The trade deficit is falling because my leadership. We won the war against China. August 2020 reported in China but not on FOX "US President Donald Trump has said China is failing to meet commitments to buy more American goods under the phase one trade deal," In fact the Chinese government has failed to live up to its commitment to the tune of $200 billion.

In America dead children are just collateral damage to re-elect trump and GOP members. Trump administration pressured CDC to play down risks of reopening schools: report Trump criticizes CDC guidelines for reopening schools as "very tough & expensive". then Trump threatens to cut funding for schools, slams CDC reopening guidelines as too tough and expensive

Biden opens 14-point national lead over Trump after debate

Every time there is a democrat president elected the sales of guns and ammo in the states explodes. Up until about three years ago every time there was a mass shooting in the US there was a huge increase in sales of guns. "These are men who are anxious about their ability to protect their families, insecure about their place in the job market, and beset by racial fears. They tend to be less educated. For the most part, they don’t appear to be religious—and, suggests one study, faith seems to reduce their attachment to guns. In fact, stockpiling guns seems to be a symptom of a much deeper crisis in meaning and purpose in their lives. Taken together, these studies describe a population that is struggling to find a new story—one in which they are once again the heroes. When Northland College sociologist Angela Stroud studied applications for licenses to carry concealed firearms in Texas, which exploded after President Obama was elected, she found applicants were overwhelmingly dominated by white men. In interviews, they told her that they wanted to protect themselves and the people they love. “When men became fathers or got married, they started to feel very vulnerable, like they couldn’t protect families,” she says. “For them, owning a weapon is part of what it means to be a good husband and a good father.” That meaning is “rooted in fear and vulnerability—very motivating emotions.” But Stroud also discovered another motivation: racial anxiety. “A lot of people talked about how important Obama was to get a concealed-carry license: ‘He’s for free health care, he’s for welfare.’ They were asking, ‘Whatever happened to hard work?’” Obama’s presidency, they feared, would empower minorities to threaten their property and families."

Who cares about Benghazi when his man can look the other way to weekly attacks on Americans: 6 missiles intercepted targeting airport that houses American troops in Iraq Attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq have increased, U.S. commander says How attacks on US forces in Iraq became a new normal "Between March 11 and August 18, the volume of these attacks increased, with at least four attacks on convoys and up to twenty-eight attacks reported on bases housing US forces. The number of attacks increased further to almost daily occurrences in mid-August, as Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi flew to the US for meetings in Washington. In that span, there were attacks on two US logistics convoys and a rocket attack on Camp Taji. " The Iranian Mullahs have opened a all out offensive against the US yet trump has said and done nothing....But Benghazi

But management then looked at the ratings and gave Oliver a new contract.

You sound like the typical Costco customer.

Ditto.I feel sorry for Barron but I have no sympathy for the rest of the trump crime clan. Just in case anyone forgets: Born: June 14, 1946. a 74-year-old person who catches the disease has a 1 in 25 risk of death The White House Knew Trump Had Likely Been Exposed to the Virus. He Traveled and Held Events Anyway. "It’s hard to overstate how closely Hicks works with the president and how intertwined their days reportedly are. Instead of taking precautions to protect those around him, however, Trump basically did nothing different. Instead of laying low, he traveled; instead of isolating, he met with people at campaign events; instead of protecting those around him, he knowingly risked spreading the virus further. From WP. After White House officials learned of Hicks’s symptoms, Trump and his entourage flew Thursday to New Jersey, where he attended a fundraiser at his golf club in Bedminster and delivered a speech. Trump was in close contact with dozens of other people, including campaign supporters, at a roundtable event."
