    Can't see where you got that from, but as you say good luck with it.

    I really don't geddit with you people, refusing to comprehend that the fault lies not with Trump for being potus, and not with anyone that supports him, but with the DNC for failing to put forward someone with a chance to beat the most hated president in history!

    This talking point has been beat into the ground and discredited yet you are still bleating on like an utter buffoon.

    No hate. Just a lack of patience to tolerate utter buffoonery.

    If you want to blame a party for letting him destroy the country, blame the one that's backed him to the hilt and refused to impeach him.

    In case you can't read, this thread is about the current president, not the next one.

    The funeral of John Lewis yesterday showed what a man of honor he was, and how much he was liked and respected by everyone he touched. I was struck by the contrast to the petty little man in the White House. Three presidents spoke at Lewis's service, and George W Bush gave what was probably the best speech of his life. Trump did not have even the slightest decency in the passing of John Lewis.

    Someone asked whether baldy was taking another dementia test.

    Meanwhile, Twitter added a "translate" link.

    Creepy corrupt assholes.
    The U.S. doesn't matter to him. Only he matters to him. When will Americans wake up?
    The US ambassador to Brazil reportedly asked Brazilian officials to help Trump’s reelection
    Brazilian news reports say the ambassador asked for a “favor.” Democrats are demanding answers.

    The Trump administration has been accused of attempting to pressure another foreign country into helping Trump’s reelection prospects, according to a letter from the House Foreign Affairs Committee.


    That letter cites Brazilian news articles that report US Ambassador to Brazil Todd Chapman pressured members of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s administration to lower ethanol tariffs in order to support President Donald Trump’s reelection efforts.


    In the letter, Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Rep. Eliot Engel demands Chapman explain an article in which the ambassador is said to have asked for the tariffs to be lowered as a “favor” from the Brazilian government to the Trump reelection campaign.


    “Iowa is the largest ethanol producer in the United States…and could be a key player in Trump’s election,” an article in the Brazilian newspaper O Globo reads, according to the letter. “Hence the importance – according to Chapman – for the Bolsonaro government to do the U.S. a favor.”


    Beyond the report in O Globo, the New York Times notes, another Brazilian outlet, Estadão, published a similar story based on its own reporting, with its journalists finding that Chapman had made the request, and was rebuffed by government officials.


    Alceu Moreira, a Brazilian congressman, also told the Times that Chapman “had made repeated references to the electoral calendar during a recent meeting the two had about ethanol.”


    Engel has called for Chapman to respond to the reports by August 4, and for him to provide “any and all documents referring or related to any discussions” with Brazilian officials.


    If the reports are accurate, the letter states, Chapman’s actions could be in violation of the Hatch Act, which prevents federal employees from engaging in certain political activities, such as partisan campaigning for candidates.




    A State Department spokesperson said in a statement that Chapman’s efforts were part of a policy of pushing for lower tariffs in general, not narrowly focused on supporting an incumbent presidential campaign.


    “Allegations suggesting that Ambassador Chapman has asked Brazilians to support a specific U.S. candidate are false,” the statement reads. “The United States has long been focused on reducing tariff barriers and will continue do so.”


    Foreign interference marred the 2016 election. Requests for interference led to impeachment.
    The reports are also of concern because of how closely they echo the request that led to Trump’s impeachment.


    Last July, Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to “do us a favor” during a phone call in which he asked the leader to look into the business dealings of Hunter Biden, the son of then-candidate, now presumed Democratic nominee Joe Biden. In that call, Trump appeared to condition military aid badly needed by Ukraine on Zelensky’s willingness to search for information that might be used to discredit Biden.


    A congressional investigation into that call revealed the ways the Trump administration used traditional diplomatic channels — most notably the office of the US ambassador to the European Union — to forward that goal.


    It isn’t clear whether Trump was involved in Chapman’s reported pressure campaign about ethanol, but as Vox’s Zack Beauchamp wrote during 2019’s impeachment hearings, the testimony of another of Trump’s ambassadors — former US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland — showed a willingness on Trump’s part “to use US foreign policy as a tool to cement his own hold on power.”


    And that has Trump critics concerned about the Brazilian reports, with Engel warning Chapman in his letter, “Elections in the United States are for the American people and the American people only to decide.”


    In delivering that warning, the letter explicitly links Chapman’s reported campaign to the 2016 election, the outcome of which foreign governments repeatedly attempted to sway, according to the results of a Senate investigation.


    “Given the events of 2016, it is all the more important for U.S. ambassadors serving our country abroad to not insert themselves into U.S. elections or encourage foreign government officials from any branch of government to do so,” the letter reads.


    This warning follows intelligence reports that find Russia has actively worked to disrupt November’s elections — as well as the Democratic presidential primary. But politicians and experts have warned that the US is not as prepared as it ought to be to combat such interference, leaving it vulnerable to meddling attempts not just by adversaries, but by also by Americans who, as Engel writes, “should know better.”

    Prosecutors hint at probe into 'possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization'

    The Manhattan district attorney's office on Monday hinted that its subpoena for President Trump's tax returns is part of an investigation into "possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization," including potential fraud allegations detailed in media reports in recent years.


    In response to the latest legal challenge by Trump's attorneys, New York County prosecutors said that news reports about the president's financial history provide sufficient justification for requesting the extensive amount of information from the accounting firm Mazars in their grand jury investigation.


    "In light of these public reports of possibly extensive and protracted criminal conduct at the Trump Organization, there was nothing facially improper (or even particularly unusual) about the Mazars Subpoena, which [was] issued in connection with a complex financial investigation, requesting eight years of records from an accounting firm," prosecutors wrote in a court filing submitted Monday.

    Trump looks terrible lately. His skin looks like an orange peel with so many big pores and greasy looking, too. His hair is so sparse you can see his bald pate under his comb over. He must have fired his makeup person!

    Biden Leading Trump Among Voters Who Favor Being Alive
    By Andy Borowitz (New Yorker)
    August 3, 2020


    • WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—With fewer than a hundred days until the election, Donald J. Trump is trailing Joe Biden badly among voters who describe themselves as in favor of being alive.


    The poll, which was conducted by the University of Minnesota, shows Biden beating Trump by a whopping thirty-one per cent among voters who call continuing to exist the issue that is most important to them.
    In several swing states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, Biden has wiped out Trump’s lead by racking up huge margins among the rather-not-die-right-now demographic.

    Did you see the movie 'Capone'? A very strong resemblance to Trump.
