Welcome to Thunderdome

Cohen thinks Trump's white house is like a cult and he thinks of himself as a ruler.

I wonder when they'll break the news about water being wet?

"Promises kept, but not national security secrets"

The Twitter comments are just sad. His supporters claiming this makes him the best EVAR and his detractors refusing to give his administration any credit for this and the other Middle East peace deals signed.

This is a nice accomplishment.

TikTok + Oracle

Seems like a very odd fit, and since it's not a sale I wonder if it's going to meet the terms laid out by Trump's administration?

Trump ad about supporting the troops showcases Migs and a Russian AK-74.

Trump would obviously have nothing to do with this, but there's no way this was accidental, right? Is the RNC doing stuff like this to sabotage him? I wouldn't rule that out. It's probably the only way to reduce the damage he does to the party.

Do you think they even do their own graphic arts? I would guess they outsource it. The person the outsourced just saw "military + planes" and had no clue it was Russian, or (s)he knew it was RNC-related and tried to sabotage them. I'm going with the "don't mistake incompetence for malice" viewpoint.

People around here have started hanging their "Trump 2020" signs from trees, because they keep getting stolen off lawns. That is a response to malice, not ignorance.

I'm still predicting a Trump win, bigger than in 2016. Fortunately, I'm usually wrong. But I've been on a hot prediction streak in 2020....

As much as they do? They'd have to, right? They'd at least have to have a long time firm they work with.

Depends who you ask. Left wing Twitter seems to think it's intentional to show his love of Russia. Of course, this brings back memories for me of a certain graphic artist who didn't realize Sharon Stone's pussy was in the artwork she put on the air...

I truly thought Trump was going to win back in June, but now I don't know. He is so unbelievably toxic that people I know that generally vote R, cannot stand Biden, and think he's a sexual assaulter still think he's the best of the two options.

I'm really tired of Trump. I want him gone.

American politics probably can't be saved unless we have a war. But half of America will probably think the war is fake. Who knows.

I just recently learned there are "Trail of Tears" deniers.

And, I'm beginning to postulate that war has already started.

Civil War?

I still say exceptionally unlikely in 2020.

Are there still sports and an internet? If yes, then civil war is very unlikely.

And boobs, and sex. #3 has personally quelled 2 civil wars with her boobs.

Sure. But I could easily see a story in which the first paragraph was, "At first, we didn't even realize we were seeing the beginning of the end. There was unrest in the cities, people choosing sides and the television news making clear who the bad guys were. People on both sides slow trickle killed and others with guns stopped trying to enter enter and add momentum. And there were those who hungered for the blood, for the fire. Policemen rumored to begin an altercation with a strategically broken window, an anti-fascists promising to take the fire out of the cities, and if you weren't with them, you were against them. But it was all so far away, at the beginning. It was strange that the low-intensity violence never seemed to end, but though it took years, the ripples of that pond rock finally made it to us."

Eh, I think the system is very much balanced towards peace, where these ripples just fade away.

How many bullets is considered enough to handle a small insurrection? I've only got a few hundred.

I'm not worried about the first days. I'm worried about 3 months later when the roving gangs have formed.

And no one is going to formally declare war, here. It's going to be a Yeats thing, and the center will just fall apart. What were are seeing, now, today, is certainly a challenge upon that center.

So you know the scandal about Russians paying bounties on dead soldiers?

The U.S. commander in Afghanistan says the investigation is still ongoing, but to date that have found no evidence such a program existed.
