Dark humour. I know what he was doing and why he was doing it. (and I don't in any way condone it despite snubbles fantasies) I was taking the piss.

“If we stop testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any.” Donald J Trump.
Fucking baldy makes me laugh sometimes. He's got in a snit about a CNN poll and is "demanding" they retract it. The bloke he picked to "refute" it is hilarious, as is CNN's response.
Trump demands apology, retraction for poll that shows Biden in frontA furious Donald Trump has demanded news network CNN retract and apologise for a poll that showed him well behind Democratic rival Joe Biden as preferred US president.
“We stand by our poll,” CNN spokesman Matt Dornic said on Thursday (Australian time).
The Trump campaign had earlier sent a highly unusual legal letter to the network after it published a poll showing Mr Biden had a 14-point lead over the US President.
The CNN poll, released on Monday, also found Mr Trump’s approval rating was just 38 per cent – his worst result since January 2019.
The figures put him on a similar footing to one-term presidents Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush at a similar point in their re-election years – with the 2020 presidential election less than five months away.
Mr Trump’s disapproval rating was 57 per cent.
Within hours, Mr Trump said he had retained pollster John McLaughlin to refute the claims.
His campaign also wrote to CNN president Jeff Zucker claiming the poll was “designed to mislead American voters through a biased questionnaire and skewed sampling”.
Trump Campaign Asks Rally-Goers to Waive Covid-19 Liability

- President’s visit to Texas coincides with new surge in cases
- Trump has been a tireless booster of getting U.S. to reopen

President Donald Trump’s campaign is asking people attending his campaign rally in Oklahoma next week to waive liability if they contract Covid-19 -- even as he hurtles forward to reopen the country.
The president traveled to Texas on Thursday for two events as that state struggled with a new surge in coronavirus cases and Houston prepared to possibly reopen a Covid-19 hospital at a football stadium.
An online ticket form for the Trump campaign rally at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on June 19, tells potential participants that by attending, “you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury.”
Trump, who has spent most of the past several months in the White House and was forced to curtail his presidential campaign, has been impatient to get back on the road.
Yet as the visit to Texas on Thursday showed, that approach comes at a considerable political risk -- that his renewed activity will coincide with a sharp rise of widespread illness and deaths, and no vaccine or treatment for the illness on the horizon.
He traveled to Dallas for a roundtable discussion with religious leaders, law enforcement officials and business people, followed by the first in-person fundraiser for his re-election campaign since much of the country shut down to prevent the spread of the virus.
As he was starting the roundtable, Houston-area officials announced that they were preparing to reopen a hospital established but never used at NRG stadium on the city’s south side. The officials said they were “getting close” to reimposing stay-at-home orders.
Harris County, which encompasses Houston and adjacent suburbs, also instituted what it called a public health threat level assessment that will alert residents if conditions worsen or improve. The level remains at the second-highest on the four-tier scale, said Judge Lina Hidalgo, the highest-ranking county executive.
“We may be approaching the precipice of a disaster,” Hidalgo said. “It’s out of hand right now. The good news is it’s not severe out of hand.”
Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican who greeted Trump upon his arrival in Dallas on Thursday, has been among the most aggressive state leaders in easing coronavirus restrictions.
Virus cases in Texas rose 2.3% to 81,583, surpassing the seven-day average of 2.2%, according to state health department figures released Thursday. Deaths climbed 1.9% to 1,920, the biggest daily increase in a week.
Hospitalizations declined for the first time since June 6, dropping 6.7% to 2,008. That came a day after the in-patient tally surged to the highest since the pandemic began.
New cases are rapidly emerging in several other states, raising concern among public-health experts that a second wave of the virus, which many expect to crest in the fall, is beginning. Arizona has also reported a recent increase in new infections.
Even so, Trump has been pressing ahead with travel plans and returning to a role he relishes: political campaigner. He will head to his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, after leaving Texas. More rallies will follow the one in Tulsa, he has said.
The campaign’s coronavirus waiver echoes efforts in the U.S. Senate to allow employers to choose which government safety guidelines to follow to be shielded from lawsuits if their customers or workers contract the virus.
Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, said in an interview this week that the liability proposal -- which Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell calls a “red line” for talks with Democrats on the next big economic stimulus bill -- will likely be released next month.

Vice Chair of Donald Trump's voter fraud commission has been successfully sued four times for voter suppression | The Independent
"The Vice Chair of Donald Trump’s new “election integrity” commission has been successfully sued four times for voter suppression, according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)."
Yes of course he has. That's how things work in a Banana Republic.
Arnie has a word for Trump.
Trump is NOT going to like this .
I'm guessing Milley will be looking for a new position soon.
are you sure you don't want to 'guarantee' it?
anyway...
former national security advisor john bolton's book is scheduled to come out on the 23rd, but the trump administration is doing its best to block its release.
bolton is a complete asshole.....but one of the things he has a reputation for is taking pages and pages of notes at meetings.
apparently he's writing the entire time...non stop...so if he has contemporaneous notes from all of the meetings when he was in the white house, then it's clear why the white house is trying to stop the release.
Trump suggests Lincoln’s legacy is ‘questionable,’ brags about his own work for Black Americans
Key Points
- President Donald Trump said that while President Abraham Lincoln — who freed Blacks from slavery during the Civil War while also saving the Union — did some good, the “end result” is “always questionable.”
- “I think I’ve done more for the Black community than any other president, and let’s take a pass on Abraham Lincoln,” Trump told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner, who is Black.
- Trump’s interview came nearly three weeks after the death of a black man, George Floyd, after a white Minneapolis cop kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes ignited protests nationwide.
“So, I think I’ve done more for the Black community than any other president, and let’s take a pass on Abraham Lincoln, cause he did good, although it’s always questionable,” Trump told Faulkner, who is Black.
Trump criticizes Lincoln legacy, brags he has done a lot to help Black Americans

Wasn't only a month ago ...
"The closest would be that gentleman right up there [pointing to the David Chester French statue].
They always said, Lincoln, nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse.”
Oh here we go, possibly this was the plan all along from Mr. Nobody Has Done More For The Blacks Than Me:
Trump reschedules Tulsa rally 'out of respect' for Juneteenth - CNNPolitics
"President Donald Trump announced late Friday night that he is rescheduling a rally that was to be held on June 19 -- Juneteenth, the holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States -- "out of respect for this holiday.""
Well if Black people can’t recognize that a race-baiting bigot and narcissist with not a single ounce of compassion or decency has done more for them than anyone else and thank him for it then frankly that’s just rude and ungrateful.
"So, I think I’ve done more for the Black community than any other president, and let’s take a pass on Abraham Lincoln, cause he did good, although it’s always questionable,”
I'd like to know what he meant by questionable.
And why the interviewer didn't question him about it.

What an odious little weasel he is. Not the only one either, so many in the GOP bent the knee to the orange shit-gibbon.
