The Politics Thread

Biden needs to hush.

But....go to Twitter right now. I don't know what happened, but Ann Coulter of all people is DESTROYING Trump right now on her twitter page.

Someone needs to alert the GOP.  Their fembot has gone rogue.

Immigration is Coulter's obsession and has been for many years. She also knows she is too old to have any real value in the party today. The same has been happening to her fellow anti-immigrant crusader and has-been Michelle Malkin.

^^ This is the type of messaging Joe Biden should be focused on, not glib statements and/or stupid flat jokes on radio shows or lying about endorsements from the NAACP.  Stick to the facts, please.

Trump was late to the wreath laying ceremony at Arlington which is hardly surprising. Then he stands there in his stupid blue suit instead of the traditional and customary black for mourning. This man is truly incapable of doing anything right. But the interesting part comes at 22 minutes in when he finally shows up. His balance is off. He stands there through the anthem twitching and jerking his legs.

I've seen people increasingly vocal about so-called "liberal" MSNBC working very hard to defeat Biden and help Trump. I'm not surprised, as much of the media would literally sacrifice their families to get that man 4 more years so they can keep getting money and fawning 'resistance' coverage, but it's a sad state. I try not to compare the UK and the US too much, because it's too simplistic, but I can't help myself in this case as many voices in the UK media, including very tabloid friendly, daytime talk show host personalities, have been extremely aggressive with the government over this crisis, especially with the Dominic Cummings lockdown fiasco. Meanwhile, over here, we have so many in the media and so many on the left working feverishly to lock down Trump's power grab for good.

That twitching and jerking is a symptom of a form of dementia which no matter what anyone else says, I believe he is suffering. It explains those fake grainy pictures of a "much slimmer: Trump on the golf course. It wasn't him. The press ignoring his deterioration is one of the most disgraceful acts and that is saying a lot considering how much of failure they have been the past so many years.

The WHO announced that it is suspending clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine.  Trump claims he is no longer taking the drug. Incidentally, if anyone actually believes that Trump was taking hydroxychloroquine, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya!

Not that it ever seems to matter, but there's a detailed Shaun King expose out.

Continuing a pattern started by this wretched administration in 2017 that begun with those tax breaks that went to the wealthiest persons and corporations, the organizations that appear to be in the least amount of need get the lion-share of the money from the government.

 

"Hospitals that serve a greater proportion of wealthier, privately insured patients got twice as much relief as those focused on low-income patients with Medicaid or no coverage at all."

This seems important.

 

 

 

Dude fell off my radar ages ago, so it really hadn't occurred to me to think about when was the last time I heard anything from him.

I guess there are still fools out there willing to believe in his grift.

 

[DRW50]

 

He's still very prominent among the online left - he was big with the Bernie people. Many of them are desperate for fame and have no morals or scruples (they are still trying to get attention from Joe Rogan, were pushing Tara Reade, Obamagate, etc.) so they will just ignore this. 

[marceline]

 

Right? It seems like there's an expose on King every couple of months and he just keeps on grifting. That's a really excellent piece, though. It's amazing how many times it mentions some project he "disbanded."
