GOP, White House Showcase Their Control Over Levers Of Power In Unprecedented Infomercial | Talking Points Memo

Trump is gonna win.

Most people love authoritarianism spiced with pomp and show. They don’t care about nuance, which is what you have to do in order to object to using WH for a campaign event. For a typical American, what is the big deal.

Biden and Harris are too nice to beat him. At least they are acting too nice, relying on the hope that the third parties like the Lincoln Project will do the dirty work for them. That ain’t gonna work.

Everyone needs to know that NO ONE is above the law. Not Donald, not Beavis or Butthead, not Jarvanka and not any of the cabinet or Congresscritter’s.

You break the law, you go to prison.

Trump would not have paid Melania out of his own pocket, but now that he’s on the outs with Michael Cohen, I’m not sure where the cash would be coming from.

Personally, I won’t. I’m too busy deciding the perfect placement of the barrel in my mouth anyway.

Making a pardon of a convention speaker a part of the program seems kind a fitting, even if Mr Ponder’s criminal history is rather mild and short compared to many others

Nothing — NOTHING! — represents the prospect of four (or twelve) more years better than blood-red Christmas trees.

Joy to the world!

The low viewership may be a blessing.

The Gulf Coast is experiencing an extreme weather event (Laura) even as the GOP is trying to reelect the very guy who rejected the US commitments under the Paris agreement in 2017 and which takes effect on November 4, 2020. And he’s doing it amidst atmospheric conditions not really ever seen, and certainly not close to anything seen in the past 3 million years.

Wasn’t there something a while back wherein a Sec of State sent some emails not using an official gov account and it almost made the earth stop & spin the other way? At least nothing that dire is taking place here. The current Sec of State made a campaign speech for a guy actively attempting to throw out the Constitution. But there’s nothing wrong with that, right?

Tell me about it. I’m already seeing praise for his mail order bride’s speech with what sounds like the media hoping that we’ll have the horse race they so desperately want. How is her speech a pivot? We’re just over two months away from an election. If we’re not going to ignore the 98% of the night that was BS then the media shouldn’t either.

A fuck-ton of these people literally live-streamed the felonies that are going to send them to jail after Biden/Harris ticket wins.

TPM, also, covers Bundy and Falwell’s pool boy but nothing on the killing of two protesters in Kenosha last night. Maybe they will mention it today. I hope it’s noted that a militia group carrying assault weapons and body armor was spotted patrolling the area before the shooting. I doubt they were carrying “toy guns”.
