This is fake but the thing about it is you actually have to check to make sure in the first place because, well, because Trump.

The other thing about it is that fact checking is a one way street with Trump / Trumptards.

And not 'nonsense' Ray. I told you already, that I don't know shit.

It's 'gut feeling'. Don't you have one ?

How many turned up ?
You tell me

In your presidential elections 40% + can't be bothered to show up

Could it be that the candidates aren't liked much ?

I'm sure they are all thrilled with endorsing him, and only ran , so it wouldn't look like a coronation at the convent. Cunning

assuming you have a point.....what is it?

They'll have to win the House again, and not having Biden on the ballot in the senate elections must be a plus

Many republican senators up for election ?

You had me fooled there

In contrast to my post above this however is a real tweet and a burn of a reply:

No? Hmmm, let me try that again...

Dubya was far from eloquent, and had his fair share brain farts, but he had no problem laughing at himself.
Trump is a thin skinned, petty little man, who continually talks out of his ass.

So proud of my fellow Americans.

How Brad Parscale Conned Donald Trump

What if the Trump campaign's digital operation is a Potemkin Death Star?

1. Trump Digital

A lot has been written about the Trump campaign’s super-sophisticated digital operation. I am . . . not skeptical, exactly. But let me say this:
Brad Parscale has a very keen interest in making sure that his operation is portrayed as a gigantic, all-powerful black box.

In 2016, Trump cycled through campaign managers at a rapid clip. The only job security Parscale has comes from convincing Trump that he has built some magical machine which no one else—and especially not Old Man Trump—can understand. Or operate.

Creating the impression that the entire Trump campaign will rise or fall with an opaque digital operation is a way to make Parscale un-fireable. Because unlike the 2016 campaign, which was basically about letting Trump be Trump, there is now a great deal of sunk-cost into an operation which is purpose-built to keep the septuagenarian boss from understanding how it works. Or even, what it really is.

So let’s couple that with the reality that even very sophisticated tech operations are pretty not-great at predicting what people want.
How many “recommendations” that Netflix pushes at you do you watch relative to content you discover on your own?
How often do you buy one of the “people also bought” suggestions from Amazon?

I bring this up because yesterday a friend forwarded an email he recently got from the Trump campaign touting an interactive survey:

Super sophisticated, right? This is in line with all of the gamefication ideas you see Parscale pushing about how the campaign is turning Trump voters into active participants and yadda yadda yadda.

Well, scroll on down to Question 10 in the survey:

Oops.
What I’m driving at here is that maybe Trump Digital really is a Death Star. But that’s a non-falsifiable proposition. The digital operation is too sprawling, too micro-targeted, and too evanescent for anyone to really have a handle on how effective it is.

All you can really do is look at the polls. And as Harry Enten wrote last weekend, Biden has the largest and steadiest lead any challenger has ever held against an incumbent.
As in: Ever.

I’m sure Big Brad will tell the boss that without his Magical Internet Machine he’d be losing to Biden by even more right now. And for all I know, that’s true.
But I kind of suspect it’s not.

In way, all of this is just one more sign of Trump’s weakness. In 2016, Trump bet on himself. He saw campaigns as basically superfluous and certainly viewed campaign managers as disposable cogs in the machine that is the cult of Donald J. Trump.
If Trump keeps Parscale around even as he lags Biden in the polls, it’s a sign that the president no longer believes that he is enough to get his voters out on his own and that he’s hostage to whatever sales pitch he bought from Parscale.

It’s a good reminder that inside every con man is a mark.

• “If we don’t, we’re going to be like so many other cases where you had a problem come in, it’ll go away at some point, it’ll go away,” Trump said.
• Trump’s remarks downplaying the need for a vaccine came at an event unveiling his administration’s beefed-up efforts to fast-track the development and distribution of a vaccine for Covid-19.

Coronavirus vaccine: Trump downplays need, says disease will '''go away'''

Trump, just step back, let the grown-ups speak and FFS

again, Trump claims are being supported by a growing consensus of REAL virus specialists that COVID does have a seasonality, no matter how much he might upset the typical anti-Trump butthurts

we will see in a few months if that was true, could be, so it's necessary to inform the population of those possibilities

Good job President Trump,

Poor old baldy orange cunto, he has got such a fucking chip on his should about Obama, especially the fact that Obama was and still is respected around the world and everyone else thinks baldy is a fucking clown.

But I didn't realise that he was this obsessed!

Between 22 November 2010 and 14 May 2020, he tweeted about Obama 2,933 times

State Department Inspector General opens investigation into Pompeo for possible abuse of power.

Baldy orange cunto sacks him.

Which is an abuse of power.

A hacking group which got access to secret data belonging to one of the premier media and entertainment law firms in the US representing top-notch celebrities has now threatened to reveal "dirty laundry" on President Donald Trump unless they are paid $42 million in a week.
It is not clear why Trump is linked to the law firm.

The hacking group REvil initially demanded $21 million ransom from the law firm, Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, after stealing 756 gigabyte of confidential data that include contracts, nondisclosure agreements, phone numbers and email addresses, and "personal correspondence" of some of the top Hollywood and music stars.

According to a report in Page Six this week, Attorney Allen Grubman of the New York-based law firm is refusing to negotiate with the hackers apparently because there is no guarantee that the hackers will not release confidential documents even after they are paid.

Not getting the desired response from the attorney, the hackers have now issued a new threat, while also doubling their ransom amount.

"The next person we'll be publishing is Donald Trump. There's an election race going on, and we found a tone <sic> of dirty laundry on time," the group posted on its blog on Thursday, giving a one-week deadline.

"And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly don't want to see him as president." The group, however, did not furnish any proof that it had got access to secret data on Trump.

"Grubman, we will destroy your company down to the ground if we don't see the money," the criminal group wrote.

Citing sources, Page Six reported that Trump has never been a Grubman client, either as a private businessman or during his administration.

"Our elections, our government and our personal information are under escalating attacks by foreign cybercriminals. Law firms are not immune from this malicious activity," Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, said in a statement to Page Six.

"Despite our substantial investment in state-of-the-art technology security, foreign cyberterrorists have hacked into our network and are demanding $42 million as ransom. We are working directly with federal law enforcement and continue to work around the clock with the world's leading experts to address this situation," the statement added.

The hackers who are holding celebrity lawyer Allen Grubman’s clients’ data for ransom announced on Thursday night that they have another cache of material to release. REvil, the group behind the breach of Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks that was confirmed on Monday, said that it’s doubling its price to $42 million and has a seemingly unrelated target in sight. “The next person we’ll be publishing is Donald Trump,” the hackers wrote in a new post. “There’s an election going on, and we found a ton of dirty laundry.”Page Six reported the update and noted that Trump hasn’t been a client of Grubman’s so far as anyone can tell, and Business Insider pointed out that Grubman has donated to Democratic campaigns. It’s unclear why Grubman and company would be more incentivized to pay up in order to protect information on Trump, barring a previously unknown connection between the two. (Plus, it’s not like there’s a shortage of existing Trump dirt already out there—it just never seems to do anything.)

“Mr Trump, if you want to stay president, poke a sharp stick at the guys, otherwise you may forget this ambition forever,” REvil continued. “And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly don’t want to see him as president…The deadline is one week.

“Grubman, we will destroy your company down to the ground if we don’t see the money,” the group added.

REvil has already released some of the firm’s documents, according to Page Six, and a source told the tabloid that Grubman’s “view is, if he paid, the hackers might release the documents anyway. Plus, the FBI has stated this hack is considered an act of international terrorism, and we don’t negotiate with terrorists.” Ransomware attacks are common enough, although they typically operate at a lower key than this but concerning Grubman’s clients like Bruce Springsteen and Lady Gaga, and there’s generally not a great way out.

In a statement to Page Six, the firm said, “We have been informed by the experts and the FBI that negotiating with or paying ransom to terrorists is a violation of federal criminal law. Even when enormous ransoms have been paid, the criminals often leak the documents anyway.” None of Grubman’s high-profile clients have commented yet.
