I don't understand why people willingly take on the job of white house press secretary... Spend your day having to defend the indefensible and make yourself look like a complete moron avoiding questions that everyone already knows the answer to. How do you bounce back in career situation like that?

I was just assuming they were all blackmailed or simply planning on turning on him at the last second and writing a book

Because they are wired just like him. Not only do they enable Trump, Trump enables them.

Trump Rage-Quits Fox News After Network Shows Him Trailing Joe Biden In Polls
 

President Donald Trump said he’s done with Fox News after the network on Sunday showed him trailing former Vice President Joe Biden in the polls. Trump claimed he was leading in “real polls” but did not cite any:
Trump has repeatedly claimed that 96 percent of Republicans approve of him. While he does enjoy high levels of support among members of his party, there are no recent polls that show him reaching that level. Last week, a Hill-Harris X poll found he had an 82 percent approval rating among Republicans, down from 91 percent in May. 

In addition to attacking Fox, Trump also urged his supporters to change the channel. Trump has repeatedly attacked news agencies for reporting on polls unfavorable to him and even sent a “cease and desist” threat to CNN last month for broadcasting a poll that showed him trailing Biden by 14 points.

TRUMP CAMPAIGN VOWS TO DEFEND JESUS!!!!

Trump campaign vows to defend famous statue of Jesus — that’s located in Brazil. President Donald Trump’s campaign is making a solemn vow to supporters that he will never allow the destruction of iconic statues located in foreign countries.

The Daily Beast reports that the Trump campaign over the weekend sent out a new ad featuring a photo of the Cristo Redentor in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro and informed supporters that “WE WILL PROTECT THIS.”

The Cristo Redentor is perhaps the most famous landmark in all of Brazil, but apparently no one on the Trump campaign realized that the statue was not located in the United States.

(I told you this was going to be crazier and crazier)

Trump and company are no longer interested in even trying to look non-corrupt. They are doomed and they know it, so they, like the PC government in Saskatchewan under Grant Devine, are governing like an army of occupation.

I am not a trump lurker but I will say one thing after reading the Bolton book: Trump was dumb to hire a lunatic like Bolton but he wasn't dumb enough to spray bombs over the Middle East like Bolton wanted.

Trump -- despite his big talk -- doesn't appear to have a boner for a shooting war in the Middle East and that's one giant improvement over the last GOP administration.  And would Bush have been competent with the coronavirus?  Remember how those goofs completely bungled Hurricane Katrina?  How the FEMA dude was a patronage appointment and how he did a heckuva job?  Maybe Bush could've convinced America to wear a mask, though

I agree that Trump is fresh high-pressure sewage contained in some kind of structurized human skin costume ... but the GOP as a whole is composed of devilmen, gentlemen criminals, Jim Bakker, and Mammon worshippers. That's been true for quite some time now and those devilmen and criminals did a great job grooming the USA for a tough-talking marshmallow like Trump.

Okay just for argument purposes both worlds you describe here are legitimately shite, Pre-Trump GOP administration and the current Trump GOP administration. 

Without able to change a thing and if you had to chose which of these worlds you had to live in which one would it be? 

I know my answer and it doesn't include deranged idiot at the helm.

According to a CNN contributor, the tell-all book by Trump's neice is even more scathing than anyone had thought. Trump paid someone to take his SAT test for him, and after that it gets worse.


Excerpts from psychologist Mary Trump’s upcoming tell-all about her uncle, President Donald Trump, allege sociopathy and narcissism in the Trump family and claim the president had his worldview “perverted” by his father Fred Trump, among other explosive claims. Here are five stunning revelations from the book:

In her book, Mary Trump claims Fred “destroyed” a young Donald Trump by targeting his “ability to develop and experience the entire spectrum of human emotion,” according to the Washington Post, which acquired a copy ahead of its release next week.

Donald Trump had a good relationship with his father because “his personality served his father’s purpose,” Mary Trump wrote, adding, “That’s what sociopaths do: they co-opt others and use them toward their own ends — ruthlessly and efficiently, with no tolerance for dissent or resistance. By limiting Donald’s access to his own feelings and rendering many of them unacceptable, Fred perverted his son’s perception of the world and damaged his ability to live in it,” she went on, claiming Fred Trump “hated it” when Donald Trump’s older brother Fred Trump Jr. — who died in 1981 at the age of 42 after a battle with alcoholism — “screwed up or failed to intuit what was required of him.

“But he hated it even more then, after being taken to task, Freddy apologized,” Mary Trump wrote, alleging that Fred senior “would mock him” and “wanted his oldest son to be a ‘killer.’”

Mary Trump goes on to claim Donald Trump “had plenty of time to learn from watching Fred humiliate” Fred Trump Jr. and learned “that it was wrong to be like Freddy.”


Trump allegedly paid someone to take his SATs and went to see a movie instead of visiting his brother in the hospital.

According to the New York Times, which also acquired an advanced copy of the book, Mary Trump alleges that her uncle “paid someone to take” his SAT exam which then helped the president “gain admittance as an undergraduate to the University of Pennsylvania’s prestigious Wharton business school.”

The New York Times also revealed that Mary Trump “tells the story in her book” about how the Trump family allegedly sent Fred Trump Jr. “to the hospital alone on the night of his death,” and that “No one went with him,” including Donald Trump, who allegedly “went to see a movie.”

Trump’s sister allegedly called him a clown, mocked his presidential run, and said he only goes to church for PR purposes.

Mary Trump writes in her book that Donald Trump’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry mocked his presidential run, saying, “He’s a clown,” and “This will never happen,” before the two spoke about Trump’s “reputation as a faded reality star.”

She also writes that her aunt said, “The only time Donald went to church was when the cameras were there… It’s mind boggling. But that’s all about his base. He has no principles. None!”

Mary Trump assesses Trump’s psychological “pathologies,” alleges narcissism.

According to the New York Times, Mary Trump also “asserts that her uncle has all nine clinical criteria for being a narcissist. And yet, she notes, even that label does not capture the full array of the president’s psychological troubles.”

“Donald’s pathologies are so complex and his behaviors so often inexplicable that coming up with an accurate and comprehensive diagnosis would require a full battery of psychological and neurophysical tests that he’ll never sit for,” she reportedly observes, adding, “Donald has been institutionalized for most of his adult life, so there is no way to know how he would thrive, or even survive, on his own in the real world.”

Tucker Carlson Accused Of Echoing White Supremacist Talking Points On Fox News


Fox News host's on-screen graphic is being compared to the infamous "14 words."  Fox News host Tucker Carlson is getting slammed on social media for an on-screen graphic that echoes a key white supremacist talking point.

With an image on the screen of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) ― both women of color born overseas ― Carlson’s text warned that “we have to fight to preserve our nation & heritage.”
Critics said the phrase looked like an homage to the infamous “14 words,” or the white supremacist slogan “we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.”

(The neo-fascists in the US becoing more and more overt as they sink in the polls)
