Trump doubled down on his "Democrat States" comment, only that he added cities to it to make it clearer (but not enough IMO) that he's referring to corrupt Democratic politicians like Pelosi, Cuomo, and Newsom.

Again, he is sticking the blame for Pelosi for fucking around while Americans suffered. If you want Trump to be crystal clear on something, you're going to find he isn't the most elegant speaker. Him laying out directly what he wants, which is good, while smacking Pelosi is probably as good as you are going to get.

To the hyper informed like us or Twatter, this altercation doesn't move the needle since everyone has decided on Trump if they're in that mode. Less than informed? They haven't heard it yet. They are still on the news cycle with Trump taking off his mask out of Walter Reed.

You do not crack Trump's base or growing support with stuff like this, especially since Trump's base attends more Biden rallies than Biden voters.

This is Gettysburg, PA today. Biden was trying to pull the Lincoln (much like Something Awful recommended Trump does), and couldn't get his own people to listen.

Love ya, pal, but you wish...

I guess this means Trump is fully recovered from COVID and has not faked his symptoms or return to the WH in any way. Thanks news media!

But that's the point. Not everyone consooms Tucker or Maddow every night. Most hear it the next day at work, if they got a job. Of course the media was quick to the gun, they always are. And those that do watch news probably didn't need YouTube videos since they live and breathe politics or stonks. But really...

Will it really matter in 24 hours? You can call it coping. Hell, I'll beat you to it. I have been asking that a lot with developments are just fucking GONE after 1-2 days. Now, noone fucking remembers the debate from a week ago. Or the tax return story that released just before. Or the Middle East peace deals a week before that. Or those hilarious fake news stories about WWI vets that same week. Hell, now they are trying to memory hole Trump getting Coof, AND HE STILL HAS IT! I just don't think this will last.

EDIT: Pelosi responds.

Comments were on.

I have to say that I admire Trump for such simple and easy to understand demands. This is the difference between lawyers and business men basically as Obama was the better speaker but Trump gets faster to the point.

No wonder many PMC types hate him, he talks like the plebs they hate and prefer flowery passive voice bullshit.

The media wants you to deny the evidence of your eyes and ears, to steal from Orwell.

And my eyes and ears tell me the big difference between Biden's base and Trump's base: Trump's actually likes him.

Let me put it this way:
A Trump supporter likes Trump. Period.
A Biden supporter likes their self-image as a Biden supporter more than they actually like Biden.

To be fair there are tons of people on social media who've been successful simply by supporting trump to a nauseating degree. If you talk to a biden supporter most of the time they'll just tell you they don't like trump and he's the only option. Sure to some degree there are people support him to feel like they're progressive, or simply because if they didn't their image in their friend group/community would be tarnished, but I would say a good chunk are simply voting for "fuck drumpf" reasons.

From an outsiders perspective I was chatting to a friend recently and she was laughing at Trump ‘preening’ on the balcony (yes our media is as bad as yours). It occurred to me then that Trump, whilst trying to win an election in the U.S. is still dealing with the rest of the world. Isn’t it likely his ‘strong man’ image is meant as much for North Korea, China and Iran as is it for Pennsylvania and Florida? His covid diagnosis probably kicked into place a few high level defence plans across the globe, there is more at stake here than just an election.

For image reasons, yes, but practically speaking no one would be changing military plans over this. If Trump had died Pence would have taken over and carried on his policies.

PMC here means professional managerial class, for people wondering why mercenaries would care.

Did some research on McCullough since he made such large claims. Judging by the amount of articles he does on TownHall and their titles, dude is a clickbaiter. Do not believe his lies.

However, thats not the end of it. He said he had the proof that he did call Obama in 08 way before the primaries ended and Trump in 16, so I did some digging. A braindead gorilla could predict Romney and Rs keeping the senate, so I didn't search for his quotes on those.

Kevin McCullough if anything is an exceptional boomer. He posted a dead link in his "proof" for his Obama winning claim. I had to look through his 20 trillion TownHall articles to find if it was real. Suprisingly, he is not full of shit here. He did call in 2006 that Obama would win the presidency. Specifically since Obama has better messaging than Clinton or any other Dem candidate. Suprisingly, Obama announced his candidacy in Feb 10, 2007, 2 months AFTER this article came out.

For his Trump claim, he listed his Facebook, but in peak boomer fashion, he listed his map AFTER the votes were counted.

So looking back on his timeline, I found 2 rolling predictions that he posted. It says day 3, so I assume there are others, but I am not looking for potentially lost hours of talk show radio babble to give this guy credit. He should find it himself.
Nov7.jpgNov8.jpg
The predictions are here. He was notably wrong on CO, NH, WI, and NV, overestimating Trump's chances in 3 and underestimating him in WI. Strangely, he flip-flopped on Wisconsin days before the vote.

In all, this guy has some credibility to his claims and is basing his predictions off said claims, but I'm not buying. I feel like its a "broken clock" situation where he guessed right sometimes and is coasting off it since (ala Nate Silver). If he has these amazing insights, I just don't see them due to the clickbait articles he writes.

FBI, DOJ press conference on 'matter of national security' expected to be about ISIS 'Beatles' headed to US

The Justice Department and FBI will hold a press conference Wednesday morning that they said will deal with a national security matter.

Yup that was it:



Two British Islamic State terror suspects known as the “Beatles” were indicted in the torturing and beheading of American aid workers and journalists among others once held hostage in Syria, according to court documents that went public Wednesday.

El Shafee Elsheikh and Alexanda Kotey are two of four men dubbed “the Beatles” by the hostages they held captive, because of their British accents. They previously had been in military custody in Iraq and are expected to make their first appearance in the afternoon in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.

We only got them because we promised not to kill them. They will be under lock and key for the rest of their lives and never see the light of day. Not sure which is worse to be brutally honest.

Going to enjoy Pence preaching the sheer amount of ISIS uprooting we have done under Trump's term than what Obama/Biden did.
