    Trump is done guys. His latest lunatic antics have cinched it. It’s not if it’s when.  It’s all over but the cryin.

    Yes his scumbag supporters will still support him. Scumbags gotta scumbag. But Trump has now lost practically every non scumbag in America. So he’s done. 

    I sure hope you’re right!

    Welp, I made my first political donation other than supporting my sister's (successful) state rep run. I fucking hate politics, but this is insane. 

    Was tree fiddy of course....

    Pics of sister?

    people need to stop asking "will there be a legitimate election," and instead start asking "after Trump is re-elected in an illegitimate election, what are we going to do about it?" 

    anyone who has been paying attention already knows the answer to the first question.  

     

     No shit, that’s my biggest fear.  You know he’s going to try....

    I think it is better he isn’t a “exciting” candidate. America wants a return to normalcy. Where we hardly ever hear about the President unless something important is happening. This country is exhausted after 3.5 years of interesting times. 

    Agreed.  I’m at the point that I would get a lot of satisfaction from a president that would just shut the fuck up for a year and do nothing.  Biden doesn’t motivate me very much other than the fact he’s not Trump, but I would be happy to see him win and I’m stoked to get out and vote for him.  I would probably be happy seeing Trump defeated by a puppy, or a rotten banana, or a broken vacuum cleaner.  I’ll even go on record and say that I hate Trump more than OU.  That shithead must go!

    He is letting shit burn in hopes that the images from the protests scare enough white people to vote for him. Let's see if it works but that's 100% the strategy. 

    You might be giving him too much credit, I don’t think he’s smart enough to think strategically.  If he has a strategy, I think you nailed it,  although I get the feeling he’s just firing from the hip and killing everything he can.

    Ok so I figured I would click on this link for a laugh or two.

    While I was waiting for the "music" to begin I thought to myself, damn they photoshopped the shit out of her picture here. 

    Then the music starts and holy shit, they have autotuned her so much it doesn't sound like a human fucking voice.

    The autotune is somehow more pronounced than the Photoshop. It's like they saw the spinal tap clip and said 11, hold my beer were taking it to 15.

    It sounds like Bollywood music with that auto tuner.

    I can't believe that not long ago I considered myself a republican leaning independent. I feel like every day these fucks are pushing me further left of center, more out of hatred for them than actual policy preferences. 

    Same here, I’m with you.  I’m at the point that I would almost vote for Bob fucking Stoops over any GOP incumbent,

    Look...am I saying “would?”
    Yes. Yes I am.
    Is part of the reason because she’s almost certainly an evil psycho?
    Maybe. Ok, yes.
    Why the freaking interrogation, man?

    As long as she doesn’t cut her hair like her brother I probably would too.

    Which is why I don't worry much about the "where's Joe" concern trolls.

    I think the fundraising is fine.  I mean, $47M in one month is pretty good.  And he wasn't the presumptive nominee for some at least some of the month.  Trump is going to have more money (depending on what happens with Bloomberg), but one has to wonder whether it will really matter.  I mean, there is definitely a law of diminishing returns at some point with campaign ads.

    I so share your concern with staffing and digital operation.  Those need to be expanded this spring.

    Perhaps a strategy born of necessity?

    I wonder what would happen if Biden stayed quiet until Election Day and just went with his name being on the ballot with no further campaigning?   Not that this would ever happen, but I would still vote for him against Trump.

    It's not just him making an ass of himself.  It's that he has made himself the central character in this drama.

    When you say that you have "absolute authority" and promise "I alone can fix it," shit that happens on your watch is necessarily your fault (irrespective of whether it really is or not).  That's the downside of being an autocrat.

    So the trick for an autocrat is to find scapegoats.  And you see Trump trying to do that by telling governors that they make the call.

    But then--and this is the critical step for a successful autocrat--you have to fucking disappear.  Look at Xi and Putin.  I mean, you can look for them.  But you won't find them.  They're scarce as shit.  They've set up their local officials to be the blame-takers on this.  And they'll only ride back in once there is credit to be taken for a recovery.

    But Trump?  His psychological pathology prevents him from doing that.  He can't step out of the spotlight for a single minute.  So all of his efforts to set up other blame-takers are pointless, because he always has to make sure that he is the central character in the national narrative.  And since this narrative is pretty fucking shitty, he's always going to get the majority of the blame no matter what Joe Biden says or does.

    I know this analogy is a stretch, but his hankering for the spotlight reminds me of how Lance Armstrong went down.  If Lance had just  sat back and kept his mouth shut he would still have his 7 TdF titles and all of his endorsements.  But no, he had to keep making a big deal out of himself and picked fights with too many people.
