Magic beans from the snake oil salesman.

A major therapeutic breakthrough that has apparently flown completely under the radar, despite the necessity for clinical trials to determine efficacy and safety. Sound legit. :roll_eyes:

Add to that the dystopian Trumpist ads, showing actual scenes from Trump’s America – then claiming that’s what Biden will do to you. And yet, Trump claims that this is “Greatness.”

Frankly, I’m tired (not yet Covid sick) of “so much winning.” And we’ve gotten the answer to “Whaddaya got ta lose”?

My money is on Trump’s miracle vaccine cure being MyPillow based. Or coal tar based. Or both.

Funny how it’s often forgotten that Trump has been “President” for the last three years in their recitation of all that’s wrong with the country.

No Herman Cain this year, hum? Oh, right, he went to that rally in Tulsa, where no masks were needed.

It looks as though every minute of that convention will be well worth missing. I’m glad that I have a lot of other thing to do on those nights. I won’t be at all tempted to even turn on my TV before Friday.

Josh made me laugh this morning. His response to Trump speaking every night.

God this is going to be amazing. It’s going to be a four day kinetic festivus and rage fugue poem. https://t.co/LikkIL2bQc

What we know so far about the RNC. I, for one, know that I don’t intend to watch one millisecond of it.

And that’s all I need to know.

He seems to be the leader of that club.

And what about Trump being renominated in secret? Is that still the plan?

I don’t see why we can’t try human sacrifice. Imagine the visuals at the volcano. A combination of King Lear and The Apprentice.

“Major Breakthrough:” Putin offers to share his new vaccine? What could go wrong?

If he announces the therapeutic pushed by the Mypillow guy, he’s opening himself up to lawsuits. The plant in question is poisonous if ingested. There will be more blood on Trump’s hands.

Honestly it’s just as likely the “breakthrough” is that he’ll issue an executive order that basically says hurry up and make drugs. I’d bet ten bucks that’s what it is.

Rudy should be good for a laugh, especially if he shows up with his fly unzipped as he has been known to do.

Maybe the US Army is being dispatched to forcibly inject us all with Putin’s Sputnik Vaccine?

I’ll be rewatching DNC speeches this week, not going to give the GOP 1 second of time online or on TV.

What thinking person would even watch the televised antics of a party so committed to lying and deceit? By watching you just give the Highly Stable Genius another platform for spreading his fake news and conspiracy theories. I doubt this is an “I’ll wait until after Labor Day to make up my mind” election. I think most people have long since decided. I also wouldn’t even be surprised if the debate draws scant viewership. We’ve already seen the two of them debate numerous times. What’s the point? My mind is now focused on the immediate aftermath of the vote.
