Who is in charge of said strategy? Are they one of his anti-vaxers? Probably consists of putting Purel at government facilities.

Clovis,

Is it wrong for me to lose respect for and feel disgusted with Stormy Daniels because she had sex with Trump, or is that kind of kink shaming?

Got a mod to agree to ban anyone who doesn't honor the deal and he has an old account so it'd be worth it just for that lol.

I think he'll pay simply because he doesn't want to lose face in front of his other trumpers where they all pretend to be rich.

Let's check in on the prez, how's he dealing with this Kavanaugh news?

Quote:

White House aides said they persuaded the president to refrain from tweeting a defense of Kavanaugh in the accusation’s immediate aftermath and deliberately worked to keep him from meeting personally with the nominee, even though the two men spent most of the day in proximity.

Quote:

The situation is so fragile that Republican officials said they fear that any impulsive statement by the president could have negative ramifications — for himself, for Kavanaugh or for the GOP overall.

Quote:

Trump’s advisers calmed him by giving him space to vent privately about Senate Democrats, whom Republicans accuse of improperly withholding the sexual assault allegation until now, officials said.

"Did the bad men make you angry? There there, don't yell, definitely don't touch your phone, come over here with us to this quiet room...okay, now you can let it all out!"

lol

Pretty low on the list of sh*t going on, but the Commerce Secretary lied under oath to Congress about where the citizenship question came from.

Quote:

In March, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees the Census Bureau, approved a controversial question about US citizenship on the 2020 census, claiming that the Justice Department needed it for “more effective enforcement” of the Voting Rights Act. Ross said at the time and in subsequent testimony before Congress that he approved the question after the Justice Department requested in December 2017 that it be added.

However, new documents released as part of a lawsuit by New York state against the Trump administration directly contradict Ross’s public comments, showing that the commerce secretary repeatedly lobbied the Justice Department to add the citizenship question after consulting with anti-immigration hardliners. On September 8, 2017, Earl Comstock, a top official in the Commerce Department, wrote to Ross, “Justice staff did not want to raise the [citizenship] question given the difficulties Justice was encountering in the press at the time (the whole Comey matter).”

Amazing presser with Poland President so far and I just tuned in.

Reporter: What ya think about the Russian plane shot down?

Trump: It happens. We have done a superb job against Isis in the Middle East.

It is good to know when Russia blames Israel for its ally Syria shooting down their plane we have Donald Trump on that wall.

I would find this hilarious but for the fact that it probably slightly increases Desantis' chances

Mehdi Hasan on the "economic anxiety", the myth that will not die

Coming with receipts, in the form of 4 studies on voters, the latest of which (not quoted here) just came out:

Quote:

The PRRI analysis of more than 3,000 voters, summarized The Atlantic’s Emma Green, “suggests financially troubled voters in the white working class were more likely to prefer Clinton over Trump.” Got that? Hillary Clinton over Trump. Meanwhile, partisan affiliation aside, “it was cultural anxiety — feeling like a stranger in America, supporting the deportation of immigrants, and hesitating about educational investment — that best predicted support for Trump.”

In fact, according to the survey data, white, working-class voters who expressed fears of “cultural displacement” were three-and-a-half times more likely to vote for Trump than those who didn’t share these fears.

Surprise!

Quote:

Third, in April 2018, Stanford University political scientist Diana Mutz published a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that observed how “living in an area with a high median income positively predicted Republican vote choice to a greater extent in 2016,” which is “precisely the opposite of what one would expect based on the left behind thesis.” Mutz found no evidence that a decline in income, or a worsening “personal financial situation,” drove working-class voters into the welcoming arms of a billionaire property mogul. Nor did a decline in manufacturing or employment in the area where Trump voters lived.

So what did she conclude?

In this election, education represented group status threat rather than being left behind economically. Those who felt that the hierarchy was being upended—with whites discriminated against more than blacks, Christians discriminated against more than Muslims, and men discriminated against more than women—were most likely to support Trump.

Do a favor for the next person you see who uses the phrase "economic anxiety" and punch them in the face

Other way around if dems figured out to make a bunch of rural ads with DESANTIS DEFIES TRUMP. They're all authoritarians remember. Dems are not this smart though.

More on Trump supporters being delusional on the mid terms, they currently think the Kav accusation is massively back firing on the dems and people are fed up with these accusations and it guarantee's the red wave.

They are the very same people that think Cliff Huxtable is an accurate portrayal of Bill Cosby. **** them. They are beyond hope.
