I mean, I assume he’s on about the media having a go at him, but f**k knows. He has this bizarre habit of repeating things, as if his brain is desperately buying time. That could get him into trouble if he ever says 'Hello' in parts of the West of Scotland. If I have said it before I will say it again. I am always suspicious of people who repeat themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Bolton is crazy. Absolutely raging at not getting to kill Iranians. Trump is obviously completely unfit for office but still has the ordinary characteristic that if you can choose between killing 150 people or not doing it go 'not'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be. But I do not think he is really the kind of delve too deep into polling numbers. I strongly suspect much of the wave he rode to power is receding and he is facing a very different world and Democratic Party. The 2016 party was very internationalist, holding to the free trade consensus of the past 25 years. But now the Democratic candidates were trying to out protectionist each other on issues like China tariffs during the presidential nominations. For them a pivot towards talking about protecting American jobs is a strong appeal to much more of their base in rust belt states than promising more NAFTA, WTO, China. Trump has broken that system and they are happy to walk through the hole he made. This is not great for the UK and EU but thats for another thread. The anti Obama hype is no longer there. There is not really the anti Hillary vibe around Biden, all he has to be is not Trump this time around, last time around all Trump had to be was not Hillary\Obama. Covid has hurt him with middle class America. For all the videos of clowns refusing to wear masks, they are the exception. But the earthquake that like has broken his spirit is the wake of Black Lives Matter. That stunt with the bible, hurt, it hit to the core of a lot of Christian values. People will still line up to get an anti abortion president putting people in courts, but that sucked a lot of enthusiasm for him out of mainstream Christians. The military turning on him as he tried to dial up the populism, senior generals making veiled statements. This hurt. And nothing has blown open the zietgeist of his "redneck rebellion" quite like NASCAR banning the stars and bars then all the drivers and pit crew walking behind Bubba Wallace's car in solidarity against a racist incident. https://preview.redd.it/69kzqa2ljj651.gif And finally NFL allowing kneeling. He looks a man out of his time and place. Its not 2016 anymore and Tusla proved it to him this week. All he has for now is the (as mentioned) loyalty to his views on abortion, second amendment and some anti immigration rhetoric. Times change quickly something may spark a big wave of support for the police or something. Edited June 23, 2020 by dorlomin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His team are basically cowards and incompetents who are financially tied to Trump, and it’s only malevolence and apathy that will get him a second term at this rate. Great to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's fucked the line from his comms team that he was only kidding when he said this at the rally in Tulsa. He's about 2 steps away from "f**k it - if you die, you die". Which is news to nobody because that's clearly what he thinks anyway. But he's eventually just going to say it. After November he'll spend the rest of his life raising and defending lawsuits. Not much change from before right enough. With a bit of luck he'll be deid soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 It's strange to think that at this point in 2016 the Presidential contest was massively gearing up whereas now Biden is pretty much invisible. Surely at some point he will have to speak in public for an extended period. We are being cheated out of comedy gold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
