He's extremely ambitious and he knows how to climb the ladder. Plus he is wacko religious in a way that Trump isn't
He’s fat, condensing, ineloquent, ugly, and has never been a senator or governor. The way we pick presidents aren’t friendly to any of those things.
I can't imagine how much the Chuds across the nation are jacking off to his display of power or something fucking dumb
Fuckhead is holding up a bible for a photo op. I should turn away as I know what he is doing. But I feel I need to watch the end of democracy as it is documented.
Ignoring the politics of the situation for a moment, people are going to be injured or killed in the near future because he's too weak and too self-centered to put on his big boy pants and actually act like the president for a week.
Who told this clown that tear gassing a crowd so he could walk to a church and hold up a bible would be a winning moment?
It sends the exact message he wants to send 100% convinced he's not leaving the WH regardless of what happens in November
People were just injured (though not terribly from all appearances) in order so he could create a reality tv moment complete with using a centuries old local landmark church as prop. I’m kind of surprised he only held up a bible and not also an AR15. I have no idea what he’s capable of.
It plays extremely well to his people In fact I think the only thing that might make it better for them is if he had a rifle slung over his shoulder
It was intentional. He (really they...Barr, Miller, Bannon, etc) want to inflame this as much as possible.
I find it funny that he had to mouth “it’s a bible” as if we all couldn’t tell what he was doing. I was more surprised it wasn’t burning his hand.
I don’t see how these threats of increased militarization and violence from Trump can be met with anything other than larger protests.
He actually understands how to wield power. He’s successfully threatened, bullied and cheated people his entire life. He can pull it off. Look at how he has already crippled the Constitution’s checks and balances and it’s concepts of justice. Large numbers of Americans may die while he does it, but I think he would enjoy the power of giving an order and watching his “enemies” be killed.
The general silence from Dem leadership is so soul crushingly disappointing. I'd say the same about the fact that there's no single shared position expressed by the nation's editorial boards.
ive been telling my friends and family this for months. No way this fuck is leaving even if he is voted out. He will claim fraud, fake news, Russia wanted sleepy joe, blah fucking blah.
1. His 2nd amendment dog whistle means a right winger will kill someone(s) 2. All of those different law enforcement services had ZERO issue with gassing and shooting at peaceful protestors 3. We will hear national Dems go on msnbc and say, “oh it’s illegal to send military forces” 4. Military forces will be sent 5. Further down the line, tens of thousands more will die from COVID Bc of the mass gatherings that could’ve been avoided if cops were held accountable (remember fucking COVID?? That’s like a year ago) 6. As we get close to the election, they’ll close some voting places and cite public health measures. 7. Even *IF* he loses the Electoral college, after today, there won’t be a peaceful transition of power. it can and *is* happening here.
On top of refusing to make any attempt to actually lead, every decision trump makes regarding the protests and covid are just moronic in terms of how to win voters in an election year.
If anyone still thinks the election in November will be free and fair I have ocean front property in Omaha to sell you
Elections haven’t been fair in years. Unfortunately the voting population has to overcome several barriers to actually win
The leaders of the Democrats are out of their league. Their opponent doesn’t play by the same rules they have followed to get where they are. He’s way ahead of them. He knows his goal and has a plan in place to reach it. It’s a game plan the Dems have never seen and they don’t know how to defend it. The reality of the crisis coming in November has probably hit them full in the face now too. The question now becomes, do they have the brains and the stomach to derail it.
