No. NOT a joke. Detestable Trumpian cop-out “JK” is BS…& potentially deadly.
“Hours after what the FBI called a 2nd attempted assassination of #Trump, Elon #Musk wrote on his social media site — and then deleted — a post suggesting it was odd that nobody had tried to kill President #Biden or Vice President Kamala #Harris.
An individual opened fire near #Trump’s property — the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, #Florida, a private club about 4½ miles from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
From the WH: “The President & Vice President have been briefed about the security incident at the Trump International Golf Course, where fmr President Trump was golfing. They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team.” - #POTUS#Biden & MVP #KamalaHarris
1) China's post-#Covid economy in still in the crapper.
2) Off-season lack of Holiday traffic (cars & planes) means less oil is being used, causing a glut.
Economists are predicting the National average to fall below $3/gal by Thanksgiving. (And lower fuel costs lead to everything else getting cheaper.) #Biden#Harris#Economy
I’ve heard it said that if you don’t vote with whichever party then you are a coward. I think that’s exactly backwards, and even reflects poorly all the person making that argument. It doesn’t take much courage to go with the group.
Instead I go the other way: no matter which party you might prefer in general, it takes courage to say they nominated a moron, and fortunately the other party also nominated a loser, so no matter what the US is going to slog through these next few years.
In my opinion the courageous position is to say no, you nominated a moron, and I’m not going to give you my vote. We’re going to be okay I guess, whether you win or not, but I’m not going to let you assume that you have my vote if you insist on nominating a moron. You should have nominated someone better. You should have nominated someone worthy of my vote. Do better next time.
That’s the state of #USPolitics . As South Park said, big douche versus turd sandwich. So screw both #Democrats and #Republicans. Neither of you managed to nominate someone worth voting for, so I’m voting for my dog.
To give either party our votes is to sign on to their nomination of garbage people. Let’s not. Let’s say that they need to actually nominate worthwhile administrators.
But more practically, let’s focus on #Congress. No matter who wins this election, they’re going to suck, but we can still express ourselves through our representation in Congress, and that’s honestly how it should be anyway.
Check out your representatives. See how they have actually been voting, and vote them out if they have been letting you down. That’s really where our focus should be anyway.
Not on which jerk ends up in the Oval Office.
(But thank God #Biden is on his way out, as he has been terrible for #science in the US, which has not gotten nearly enough attention from the press.)
67M viewers saw an out-of-control #Trump claim he won the #2020election, complain that those who attacked the Capitol on #Jan6, 2021, were “treated so badly,” argue about his #CrowdSize, assert that he had read that #Harris “was not Black” & that #Biden “hates her,” admit that he still only has “#ConceptsOfAPlan” on #healthcare, make odd statements such as “I got involved with the #Taliban” & “she wants to do #transgender operations on illegal *aliens* that are in prison,”
It was a case study in how the dominant “news” organ of the right cleans up #Trump’s messes. When President Joe #Biden had his disastrous debate, liberal outlets & commentators panned the performance & ultimately helped to force him out of the race. But when Trump had what was, objectively, a bad night, #FoxNews led a movement to claim it didn’t happen.
Trump, you are not running against Biden. Mmmmkay?
Via Acyn:
#Trump: Well, I did. I did seven major rallies for two days.. Who the hell can do that? People are saying nobody else could do it. You think #Biden could do it? I don't think Biden would do seven. I don't know if he'd do one.
