After wild week, the Trump train looks close to full derailment
(archive)

Washington (CNN) — There have been many weeks when the Trump train has looked like it's going to jump the tracks. But in the seven days since the Republican convention, the President has come perhaps as close as he ever has to a full derailment.

The outrages, conspiracy theories and drama have come so fast that it's almost impossible to believe Donald Trump can keep this up for another eight weeks until Election Day. But as Democratic nominee Joe Biden begins to travel and to offer an alternative vision of sober presidential-style leadership, events of the last few days have clarified the personality clash and issues that will decide the race.

On Thursday, even the President and the White House seemed to think he might have gone too far with his suggestion that North Carolinians try to vote twice to test election security, a potential crime and the latest attempt by the President to cast as illegitimate an election that polls suggest he may lose. At a rally on Thursday in Pennsylvania, Trump again said mail-in ballots are a "disgrace," charging that dogs have received them in the mail. He advised his supporters to "follow" their ballots and go vote if they're not tabulated.


In just the latest sign that astounding developments are the norm in Trump's presidency, he pulled aside the White House press pool after returning to Andrews Air Force base from his rally on Thursday night to deny that he had mocked the sacrifice of America's war dead and had yet again insulted the late Sen. John McCain following an article published in The Atlantic magazine Thursday about him disparaging the military. CNN has not independently verified The Atlantic's reporting.

Biden issued a statement saying that if the allegations were true, they would be "yet another marker of how deeply President Trump and I disagree about the role of the President of the United States."

Trump will ignite a new uproar soon enough. It's clearer than ever that his platform for this election is his own wild behavior that animates his hyperbolic claim that a Democratic presidency would see the suburbs torched by rioters -- not the statesmanlike script choreographed at the RNC.

No President in modern history has gone into a reelection race warning that the process of choosing a government that is the bedrock of American democracy is illegitimate. Trump's conduct risks a full-on post-election constitutional crisis.

As well as the North Carolina furor, Trump this week claimed that plane-loads of dark-clad rioters were crisscrossing the country. He appeared to justify the actions of a teenage vigilante who killed two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He denied he had a series of "mini strokes," sparking speculation about his health. It emerged that the President and Russia, yet again, are on the same page, as an intelligence briefing revealed that Moscow is also spreading misinformation about mail-in voting to harm the integrity of the election. And he mocked Biden for wearing a mask as the country continues to lead the world in coronavirus cases, with more than 6 million infections.

Trump also visited Kenosha, the latest US city consumed by racial tensions and protests that turned violent following the shooting of a Black man by police. Trump didn't bring reconciliation, however, and appeared to shut down Black pastors about to talk about racial injustice. He compared the brutality of police officers who shoot armed Black men to golfers with the yips who choke over a "three foot putt."

And as always, the President has been ignoring the worst domestic crisis since World War II, a pandemic that has killed 185,000 Americans and counting -- as a key model predicts 410,000 US coronavirus deaths by the end of the year.

On Thursday, hours after final death figures for the day before showed another 1,000 lost Americans, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany played a video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi without a mask on a loop at the start of her briefing. The speaker's slip exposed her to deserved accusations of hypocrisy and was a bad gaffe. Yet it was hardly the biggest crisis facing the nation that needs to be addressed by a White House that has repeatedly demonstrated a profound lack of seriousness during the pandemic.

Still, while Trump's constantly disruptive behavior and refusal to play the role of a traditional president horrifies Beltway elites, it's exactly what makes him attractive to supporters who long ago soured on conventional politicians. The more he trolls the media, the more his base and his conservative media cheerleaders love it. The question is whether a President who looked every day for four years like he's waging an endless GOP primary campaign can secure a path to victory without broadening his base.

This might be it! After this new September surprise, Trump may finally be finished!

Now let's continue this completely bipartisan and non-biased article with its second half:

Biden behaves like a shadow president
Click to expand...
While the storm was raging at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Biden has been doing his best to offer Americans a more traditional brand of presidential leadership. He delivered a speech in Pittsburgh on Monday condemning violence in all its forms. "Rioting is not protesting, looting is not protesting," Biden declared, while making a strident call for racial justice. He also offered condolences for the death of one of the President's supporters in unrest in Portland, Oregon. He held a presidential-style forum on the "national emergency" in schools and colleges as a new academic year starts, stunted by Covid-19.

Biden followed Trump to Kenosha on Thursday, but actually spoke to Jacob Blake, the man gravely injured by police. He counseled the family and spoke about the need for reconciliation and police and social reform -- shouldering the anger and fear in the country as a normal president might be expected to do.

Biden spent the week trying to dispel the caricature of a "Trojan horse" for looters, rioters, anarchists and maniacs, with which he was labeled at the RNC and which Trump has pushed ever since.

"Do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters?" Biden asked in Pittsburgh, using one of his potential weaknesses -- an almost 50-year career in politics, during which many Americans have followed his tragedies and rebounds -- as a shield.

Biden's performance may have eased the nerves of some Democrats who appeared spooked by the discipline of the Republican convention last week. Good polling helps too. Multiple national surveys show that Trump didn't get the convention bounce he needed given the fact he's still trailing. The race appears closer in swing states but Biden is well positioned everywhere, leaving the President with a growing problem given the fact that many states start sending out absentee ballots in the coming days and weeks. The Trump campaign insists the polls are all wrong, and is boasting of a previously undetected legion of new Trump voters who were not active in 2016.

The contrasting styles of Biden and Trump this week point to the choice that will be on display at a now crucial first presidential debate in just over three weeks -- and that will ultimately be decided on November 3 -- or whenever the expected deluge of mail-in votes is counted.
Does a sufficient slice of the country still want a careening, politically incorrect President who appears ready to tear the country down around him? Will the cultural connection that Trump has forged with his fervent base voters -- especially on racial issues -- supersede unease about his mishandling of a pandemic that has shut down normal life?

Or with no end in sight to the crisis, are there 270 electoral votes to elevate an elderly, temperate and traditional president in Biden, who, instead of constant uproar, is offering to serve as a counselor in troubled times?

Umm, sweaty, godwin's law is part of what allowed the fascist police-capitalist-whiteness complex to surge in power because mocking nazis emboldens hate! Drumpft is done since he and his bacon brigade bootlickers are helping a nazi mass murderer escape justice! Plus, the way Biden pauses, paces, and carefully tiptoes through his speeches is just so Presidential! 😍😍😍 Unlike Drumpft's harsh, dark, and angry Nuremburg screeds!

Should note that Handmaiden's Tale was a coded warning about Islam (Atwood had to slap Christianity onto it because her SJW friends would have turned on her if she wrote a book that denounced Islam as evil) and the Sons of Jacob took over largely by just KILLING the sitting government off, via a false flag act of mass murder involving Congress and the President being gunned down by masked gunmen.

(Atwood leaves it unstated as to who was in power when they took over though)

The TV show tries to fill in the gaps that the Sons of Jacob were ultra conservative Christians on the far right, along with center-right trad wives like Serena Joy who were radicalized by SJWs shooting her and leaving her barren from being shot, conservative environmentalists (one of the running bits of world building that the TV show likes to drop is that Gilead is 100% Green tech centered save for stuff like minor thinks like dry cleaning which is kind of a weird thing to drop on people given how "going green" is the left's thing), and libertarian isolationist economic types.

Also, in a plotline that was aborted in season two (while June was hiding in a major Boston newspaper office building that had been abandoned after all of the employees were executed by the Sons of Jacob early in the coup), the show had June combing through the archives of the newspaper trying to create a timeline of how the Sons of Jacob took over and who were the real masterminds behind it. One of the things she found, before the plot got abandoned, was that there was a recording of how the Sons of Jacobs started out as a faith based initiative under Bush II that tried to clean up the ghettos by creating sanctuary style youth centers in major crime filled cities. June listened to a member of the Sons of Jacob speak highly of the group, how they were "bringing order" to the inner cities and offering kids and teenagers an alternative to gang life.

Basically, imagine a scenario where if Trump loses in 2020, that the GOP goes full cuck to the point that they don't even invite the religious right back into the fold because the GOP "doesn't want them around because they were tainted by their tacit support of Trump" and the religious right, the alt lite, and libertarian party all basically gather together to stage a full-on coup and basically let the fundie christians set up a theocracy so long as the others (the libertarian isolationists and conservative conservationists/environmentalists, and the alt lite get to run the parts of society that the religious right don't care about without much hassle.

The green thing might have to do with people wondering why conserving the environment isn't a conservative thing, and use that as a writing prompt. The Nazis were big on national parks &c. so the people who write this stuff might think that a true "ideologically pure" far-right would be eco-fascist.

If this election, or any future election, becomes a referendum on black supremacy, the Democrats will find out in short order how much Latinos hate black people. Los Angeles is in full race-war mode, with Sureños openly ordering hits on blacks as reprisals for the riots. That Mestizo cop who capped the black guy was getting blooded into a Mexican police gang that's infiltrated every level of the LAPD. They're not playing around.

That doesn't sound bad at all compared to what we have now. I would accept globo-Christo over globohomo any day.

Isn't globo-Christo just globohomo with higher birth rates and crosses? Never forget that the Somalis were brought into Minneapolis by decades of church-sponsored migration.

They were brought mainly in one go by Obama. 43,000 of them in only a couple years.

99% Muslim, 43,000 Somali refugees settled in US under Obama

The Obama administration resettled 8,858 Somali refugees in the United States last year, and nearly 43,000 during Obama's eight years, a huge number that is now raising concerns after a Somali refugee led a one-man attack spree on the campus of Ohio State.

I have several family members in red states. In the past 10 years multiple "refugee centers," often tied to local colleges, have sprung up, bringing with them various flavors of non-whites, who are then helped to find subsidized housing and the like. Some of them integrate, but some of them create what amount to ghettos, driving the locals out of cheap apartment buildings and the like.

It's very obviously intentional. Why else would you suddenly see a flood of fucking Etheopians in Northern Nevada / Southern Idaho, or Iranians in the middle of very white Central Washington?

I find it hilarious that these NPCs on twitter are trending the name of every war to honor veterans (Which is a good thing) but are doing it to try to prove "Orange man Bad hate Veteran" when he's the president that chased down a Marine's hat that was blown off while he was boarding Marine One.
