    I’m not sure which Trump I like best, the lying Trump or that sad pathetic whipped dog who’s so desperate to retain power, he’ll say anything.

    We're asking everybody that when you are not able to socially distance, wear a mask, get a mask," Trump said. "
    Whether you like the mask or not, they have an impact, they have an effect. We need everything we can get."


    "It will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better," Trump said.


    "As one family we mourn every precious life that's been lost," Trump said. "We will defeat the virus."

    Because Republicans like it. Just Look at Haggerty, Goodman, Craig, and that Foley.

    I can't predict how it will turn out. But, one thing is for sure: Trump is not through with the damage to America. It's exactly what Putin wanted: Civil War in America.

    What about-ism does not prove anything

    Let's assume Biden would fail the test too.. How does that make it better for Trump? What matters is HE is not mentally capable. It's not a hard test and the fact he struggled with it shows how gone he is.

    I'm sure you can identity the picture of the elephant and count back from 100 by 7. Well he can't. A 5 year old can but he can't.

    I really want you to explain. How does Biden's performance on the test matter?

    How deep are you into a cult that you don't see questions like this are not a political conspiracy?

    The DIY dementia test: sample questions from the quiz doctors claim will catch Alzheimer's early | National Post

    1.What is today’s date? (from memory)
    2.How are a watch and a ruler similar? Write down how they are alike
    3.Write down the names of 12 different animals (don’t worry about spelling)

    Senators thought the idea of an abusive president with a secret police force was so absurd they allowed it — now they regret it
    'The majority of training the agents do is military-style, so they're going to deal with crowds of people like you would see soldiers dealing with crowds in Iraq or in Afghanistan'
    Andrew Feinberg, Washington DC

    The fatal mistake that allowed an abusive president to have a secret police force

    excerpt:

    "Paul Rosenzweig, who served as DHS’s Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy during the George W Bush administration, said the prospect of a president using DHS personnel to police American streets was one that opponents of the agency’s creation raised during debate over the 2002 Homeland Security Act. Rosenzweig recalled that he and other proponents of the bill dismissed such worries at the time.

    “There were many who thought that DHS should not be created precisely because they were worried that it would be essentially an internal police force, and there were many like me, who said: ‘Oh, that's absurd. Come on. You know we need a coordinated unity of effort against terrorism, and this is a good way to do it,’” Rosenzweig recalled. “But there’s a lot of justice to that now.”

    He added that proponents of the bill, which combined agencies from across the government into one sprawling entity charged with preventing terrorist attacks, ”never imagined” that the US would have as aberrant a chief executive as Donald Trump, or a Senate that is as “supine and subservient” as the GOP-led upper chamber is today."

    The fatal mistake that allowed an abusive president to have a secret police force

    excerpt:

    "Moreover, nearly every single Senate-confirmed leadership position atop the 360,000-person strong department is either filled by someone serving in an “acting” capacity or by a “senior official performing the duties of” a position they are not legally permitted to hold in an acting capacity.

    Rosenzweig, now a senior fellow at the R Street Institute, said the lack of permanent leadership has made it far more likely that those nominally in charge will either tacitly or explicitly give assent to abuses.

    “This kind of misuse and abuse is particularly plausible in an agency like DHS, which is weakened by its lack of history, its lack of settled processes, and by the fact that that Trump has systematically denuded it of anybody with any authority to push back at him,” Rosenzweig said. “Trump has systematically [emasculated] anybody who gave him the least little bit of pushback, you know, even people who were totally on his side in terms of results they wanted to achieve.”

    He also posited that the situation in Portland is “a particular product of the fact that Trump and [White House Senior Policy Adviser] Stephen Miller have converted DHS into this subservient entity that has no leadership that refuses to do their bidding”"

    Trump has said that he prefers acting officials because it gives him more flexibility.

    That's why Trump turned to the DHS to do his bidding.


    The fatal mistake that allowed an abusive president to have a secret police force

    excerpt:

    "Juliette Kayyem — who served as an Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security from 2009 to 2010 and was on the Homeland Security Council during Jeh Johnson’s time leading DHS — said Trump has turned to DHS because Defense Department leadership indicated that they wouldn’t follow orders to use National Guard troops against protesters as was done in Washington, DC last month.

    “DHS is the weak link,” she explained. “The White House experienced considerable pushback from the Pentagon after Lafayette Square, but you won’t get that at DHS because its leadership is totally beholden to Trump.”"

    You forgot Lindsey, aka Lady Graham, as he is known in some circles.
    When asked about her, today, trump said he wishes her well.
    I am sure he does.

    Republicans are so damn stupid and tribal. Even when shown photos of her and Trump together pedophilia is exclusively Democrat. Long before Trump they were like this too.

    The Alex Jones types would talk about the godless Democrats and their sex slave rings. Nothing like us good Christian gun owners. There is a reason that Pizzagate is still thought to be real. Trump has made numerous comments about grabbing pussy and how he loves hot young women. Still not a pedo apparently.

    After a lull, the daily U.S. coronavirus death toll has once again exceeded a thousand per day as a result of Trump for months dismissing distancing and encouraging the opposite.

    The lag between increased cases (which Trump attributes to great testing) and deaths appears to be a few weeks.

    The deaths can't be dismissed with a testing excuse or a normalizing parameter that tries to make them look like a success..

    Even Trump finally admitted that the situation will likely worsen before it improves at his revived coronavirus briefings which he felt compelled to do after many polls (the ones he publicly claims to be fake but privately knows are real) showing his ratings dropping on every metric including the economy.

    Someone else also noticed it.


    Welcome to the Trump Twilight Zone

    Welcome to the Trump Twilight Zone

    excerpt:

    "Watching The Twilight Zone episode where a young boy forces a bunch of grown-ups to cower and agree to his every whim was unnerving. I couldn’t help but think of various press conferences and moments where President Trump is surrounded by sycophants who smile tightly and nod as he talks. They sound just like The Twilight Zone townspeople:

    “It is so good you ordered the killing of the Iranian general.”

    “It is so good you want to target cultural sites in Iran.”

    “It is so good you had a perfect call with Ukraine.”

    “It is so good to start a tariff war with China.”

    “It is so good you think climate change is fake news.”

    “It is so good you made up nicknames for all your political enemies.”

    “It is so good you are going to build a big, beautiful wall.”"

    Trump made the same remark on March 23 as July 21.

    He brought the U.S. back to where it started. A dog chasing its tail.



    Trump acknowledges coronavirus likely to worsen: "Certainly this is going to be bad"
    From CNN's Kevin Liptak
    7:23 p.m. ET, March 23, 2020

    Trump acknowledges coronavirus likely to worsen: "Certainly this is going to be bad"

    excerpt:

    "President Trump acknowledged Monday the effects of coronavirus are likely to worsen.

    "Certainly this is going to be bad,” Trump said, agreeing with remarks his surgeon general made earlier in the day predicting a deteriorating situation this week.

    “We’re trying to make it much much less bad," Trump went on. "Obviously the numbers are going to increase with time and then they're going to decrease.”"

    And then they are going to increase again, courtesy Trump.


    Fast-forward from March 23 to July 21, 2020:
