Voting discussion thread II

I know it will never happen, but any legitimate news organization should refuse to cover the president's speech when we know for a fact that it is based on nothing but lies and manufactured outrage.



It is only going to get worse between now and November. Trump and his klan are not even trying to hide the fact that they plan to interfere in this election.

Many Trumper supporting poster have said we were fearmongering or talking nonsense for years by saying that Trump was going to do exactly what he is now doing. Funny how these posters are deafly silent now.

Trump pretty much broadcasts everything he is going to do. Usually with projection to blame someone else up front for the ensuing disaster.

I suspect the Thursday speech will be a tale told by an idiot. Full of sound and fury and signifying absolutely nothing.

No, it will signify quite a bit: his full-on war against the midterms. I still think he will try to stop the polls from opening if the numbers continue to get worse for the GOP. I'm not saying he will succeed, just that he will try.

And some around here would handwave it away.

from a purely practical standpoint, it does make it easier to track down gastro-intestinal disease outbreaks.

Trump doesn't even believe the crap he's spewing about elections.

What King Narcissus wants is VALIDATION.

He was psychologically abused and programmed enough by his worthless father to believe being a "loser" is worse than being on the Epstein List, committing rape, or killing kids in an Iranian school. What he wants is someone somewhere - a court, God Himself, SOMEONE WITH AUTHORITY - to say, "No, Chump, you didn't actually lose in 2020. You were the winner."

The sad commentary is that Republican voters in 2016 followed by the country as a whole and then wash, rinse, repeat in 2024 decided to let the old man you wouldn't leave alone in the room with a coffee maker for fear he'd burn himself have the nuclear football.






I recall when Lamar Alexander ran for President in 1996 for the GOP nom, he summarized Bill Clinton in what I thought was the most accurate assessment I'd ever heard and wasn't even really all that insulting:

"He's the only President we've ever had who feels it necessary to work out his midlife crisis in public."

Given what happened in his second term with the revelation of his affair with a 21-year-old, Alexander was even more right at the time he said it than even he imagined.
