Everything is on fire - the US politics thread

I didn’t hate it, it wasn’t horrible, the production was good, but I wanted it to end.

Like you, Rory, completely unfamiliar but I know he’s huge and the new album is getting rave reviews.
Thank you, old age.

I liked that one less. On its strength, I’d say he is 100% worthy of being POTUS.

Went back and listened to both, and they both sound better on 2nd listen, but leave me a little cold. He actually does a bunch of interesting things but despite that it all comes over as very bland. Too sleek for me maybe? Or maybe because he’s an anti vaxxer cunt married to a Kardashian?

Thanks for the heads up anyway, hilly.

So many questions.

Who would be so stupid as to make the decision to open a theme park at the peak of a pandemic…

…and who would be stupid enough to go there once it did open?

Americans.
Not Americants.

Americ*nts perhaps?

A year ago I would have said this story must have been made up. No one could be that stupid.

I love the whole arguments of Republicans when it comes to Covid, vaccines etc. It’s all big pharma or global companies/governments trying to control the world. But when it comes down to Climate Change and the fact that big oil and mines are controlling the anti Climate Change narrative, that could never happen now could it?

White House now leaking comments from Dr Fauci in an effort to discredit him. Credit to him and all the other medical professionals for not simply stepping down, leaving the country and letting Trump deal with the rest of the shit himself…

Would be sort of funny to see Fauci do a speech like Ray Patterson, the garbage commissioner that Homer took over from. You’re all screwed.

Washington Post fact-checkers claim Trump has told 20,000 lies since assuming office, terming it a ‘tsunami of untruths’

The Orange Cunt is going to try it.

It was pretty clear he was banking on COVID-19 getting out of control there in order to try and force such a situation.

It also bears mentioning he doesn’t have the authority to make such a change himself.

Slightly old, but an appropriate image to support the thread title:

“The fire devil: A president sets fire to his country”

The usual things a wannabe dictator does is delay/cancel elections and send federal troops into the streets.

We’re watching it happen now in real time. Incredible.

His term has to end in January 2021 unless re-elected or there is a constitutional change.

This is just his attempt to create an excuse for when he loses in November.

Considering his approval rating continues to fall, all postponing the election will do is see him lose by an even greater margin next year. He has no intention of postponing and, as mentioned above, he has no ability to do so anyway.
His true motive lies in the reason he puts forward for calling for the postponement. By calling into question the security and validity of the postal votes, if/when he loses he will point to that as the reason, his supporters will fight the cause for him and the US will be on the brink of a civil war.

I don’t think the concept of losing anything has ever occurred to him.
