Trump is now hitting the crucial days 7-10 on his covid journey.

He had 2 double Big Macs with chilly fries and he is cured now.

It now looks like? Who was ever going to marry DT for any reason other than convenience/lifestyle/percieved wealth?

I mean was she originally won over by his emotional depth, intellect, charm and rugged good looks?

It would remind you of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj-9lSEBBm0&ab_channel=ChortleUK

He's on a pretty euphoric cocktail of drugs right now.

So... Somebody at Deadline just either leaked confirmation or misfired a story they've prepped just in case -

Very good chance Pence has tested positive or the condition of the President has become an impairment to the continuity of government which, to be fair, seems really unlikely yet. I can't think of other reasons he would leave from his trip so abruptly and when considering he was to cast his vote tomorrow in Illinois.

I was going to say there's a lot of strange air traffic in my area tonight but I remembered there's a major college football game in town on saturday.

Says he announced it 'late Wednesday'; I'm guessing the latter...

That didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not Trump’s fault.

And if it was, Trump didn't mean it.

The news page is still up but I get dead links

when I refresh the link changes to

and then back and forth.

Trump's "make china pay" clip, it wasn't the lawn of the White House, it was in front of a green screen??? The comments on the thread say don't watch it on a phone, more noticeable on computer. The first clip I can see the loop using my phone..

Yeah if you full screen it on a large enough screen it looks like it's a loop.

Thing is I don't get why they would bother.

edit a leaf blows away at 0:36, not a loop.

Thank u Trump. The only one brave enough to take on China for what they did.

Please god he gets re elected, otherwise no doubt China will get off Scott free.

I never used the word If once.

They allowed themselves to be used as political pawns in an effort to see that Trump wasn't elected and so were fair game for criticism. That's my view on it and so maybe rebut that. Assuming you can that is.

It makes much more sense with the 1990s context

“You might recognise me, it’s your favourite president” absolutely kills me... he’s purely doing it to wind people up at this stage. Ultimate troll.

Nope.

He is a snake oil salesman and this used this kind of nonsense to try sell Trump Steaks, Trump Water etc etc.

He used that cheap salesman patter when peddling his crap and he knows nothing else.

It's why that mock advert a couple of posts up works so well.

everlast75 · 09-10-2020 06:53AM

So many questions.

Where is Barr?

Why did Pence fly straight back to DC?

Why won’t Lindsay get tested?

How’s Christie?

When was Trump last tested before he got the virus?

Why won't he say.

Where are Jared & Ivanka?

How is Rudi?

I think it's more he thinks he can lie about things and that will get people to vote for him. He's a liar and a spoofer.

The stuff with the trees is because of artifacts generated by the compression used on the video (it's probably gone through a few different compression algorithms between being shot and ending up on Twitter). Some compression algorithms take a block of pixels (say 10x10) and average them out over a number of frames. When something significant happens inside that block (like a branch moving to expose more light or dark in that area), there's a sudden jump in the result of that averaging over the next batch of frames.

The video doesn't have the hallmarks of green screening, and as pointed out above, a leaf blows off the lawn during it. Also, if they were going to green screen it, why would they use a loop for a background, when they could go outside and film as much video as they want for it?

I think some people on Twitter are looking a bit too hard for evidence that he's very unwell.

I read somewhere that the reason Melania took her time before she moved to the White House back at the start of his reign was that she was renegotiating her pre-nup agreement. Once she had what she wanted, the staff were told to pack for the move.
