“I don’t know much about the movement other than I understand that they like me very much, which I appreciate,” Trump said last week.

That’s pretty much he said after David Duke endorsed him.

I’ll bet he could go on for hours about the dangers of antifa, a “group” no one seems to belong to.

And, on some level they know that their “base” is diminished and possibly shrinking even more so they feel they cannot alienate any supporter no matter how misguided, criminal, or crazy they are. That is a corrupt, Faustian bargain.

(CNN)A White House briefing Sunday on a “major therapeutic breakthrough” is expected to be about an emergency use authorization for the use of convalescent plasma to treat Covid-19, according to two sources with knowledge of the situation.

Lol, the headline right next to this one on the TPM home page is “Meadows ‘Applauds’ Trump For Tweet Stoking Unfounded ‘Deep State’ At FDA”. That would be the deep state that is at the heart of the QAnon conspiracy that Meadows is lying about not knowing.

One of his most obvious tells. Trump never admits to not knowing about something unless he knows something.

I am a pretty imaginative dude. In the imagination department, these QAnon loonies make me look like a total piker.

QAnon…

Acronyms, schmacronyms…

Doesn’t matter. It’s the tribe talking. A homogeneous tribe can even sucker in people wanting to be in it, like Nikki Haley and Tim Scott…

We, on the other hand, are not homogeneous.

What too many clueless people have failed to understand is that our heterogeneity makes us stronger.

  • I felt that seeing Alabamian Doug Jones at the Convention

  • I felt it with the state-by-state roll call with Joes’s totals

  • I felt it with the youngsters weighing in

  • I felt it with the music provided

Right now, I am in Ben Rhodes’ frame of mind: We can only beat ourselves. Con artist Donald Trump is going to use all of his Presidential Toys to try to make us beat ourselves.

Some poor sod should be well-compensated to research this Qbullshit so we can keep track of how many little crumbs get dropped for the faithful during this week’s convention.

Trump is so fucking stupid he is not capable of understanding many of these fine folks hate him but are using him.

Trump will take help and support wherever he can find them, he doesn’t care if it’s Russia, roving groups of crazy people, violent racists or fiery demons crashing through the gates of Hell.

Now STFU.

Ummm…I thought it was already available for emergency use? What this will do will mean that talking heads will have to mention that it’s already being used, and he’ll look weak and behind. Not going to work with anybody but the trumpanzees.

Trump:

“I don’t know much about the movement other than I understand that they like me very much, which I appreciate,” Trump said last week.

He continued, “And is all that matters to me. A domestic terror threat? They could eat babies for all I care, so long as they like me and vote for me in November.”

Wolf (you know, the legitimate appointee):

“There are many other threats here domestically, as well as overseas, that we’re focused on. And we will continue to look at those and address those."

“Like those dangerous Portland Moms, aka the Dread Witches of Antifa, you know, the ones who eat babies but aren’t fans of Donald Trump…”

I am looking forward to the Biden Administration DOJ / FBI investigations that expose, arrest, indict and convict the so-called Q and the QAnon criminal organization.
