    Does Biden have a dog?

    Will he get one now

    He has 2 dogs. Major and Champ.
    Rumour has it that they're both good boys.

    I'm one of those people who is instantly sceptical of people who don't like animals. It doesn't mean a psycho can't have a pet, but it just didn't surprise me that Trump doesn't.

    Bit of a leap to say he doesn't like animals cos he's got no pets.

    (Although his dislike of sharks is well documented)

    I'm only going on the image he has painted for us.

    For such a dangerous fascist, he plays a lot of golf.
    Now that's being silly.

    It's well known that many US presidents do very little when they're in office. George Bush went to bed at 9pm on September 11

    Which was an eminently sensible thing to do, not a reflection of there not being much to do. If there are no decisions to make pending further gathering of information, what's the point in staying up? Stay rested so that when the information does come in and decisions need to be made, they can be done with a clear head. It's not as if he hadn't had a stressful day and probably needed the rest.

    It's one of the big difficulties we have in teaching new officers. They think they have to be awake all the time, they don't. Took me about three weeks in Iraq to figure it out for myself. Trust in your subordinates and leave wake-up criteria. Then go to bed. Few decisions at the Presidential level need to be made so quickly that he can't afford to take the time to wake up, grab a coffee and get dressed. "Routine" work for running the country could wait a week easily enough.

    AZ Called for Biden (finally.)

    So now Biden is at 290 electoral votes. He's over any margin or notion that say, PA could somehow be flipped for Trump - Biden would still be at 270.

    Trumps final hope: AZ, GA, PA, and WI don't have Faithless Elector Laws. Practically though faithless electors are rare (usually 1 every cycle) and its fairly symbolic. Does Trump even still have any lawsuits in the water?

    And in each of those states the winning party (Democrat in this case) gets to send the electors they chose, so it would be unlikely that they would, en mass, change their vote.

    Right now I'd hate to be Trump's dog, lying at his feet under his desk while his mood is foul. Does he wear hobnail boots?

    Don’t think Bill Barr would fit under that desk

    A good morning.
    The Department of Homeland Security called the 2020 election “the most secure in American history” and CNN calls Arizona!

    He'll be promptly fired.

    Trump can't let facts get in the way of a conspiracy theory.

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus

    Maybe that's the plan... Get fired by the mad king and get rehired next year?

    Couple months off for Christmas! When else do senior people get the chance of a good long break!

    The assistant director was fired last week. The director is expecting his own firing any minute.

    Fauci's unloading on Trump in January will be spectacular I reckon.

    How that man has held his tongue for the past 8 months is a mystery.

    Trump wouldn't be dumb enough to start slinging the nukes around. Even if he wanted to do it, all you'd have to would be remind him that his casinos could be destroyed in the ensuing exchange, and he'd back right down.

    Maybe that would fall under an act of god.

    Or as The Don would see it... Ah act of Trump.

    Over a week later and republicans seems to be finally giving up.

    He did hint he'd stick at this for at least a week. Arizona going away from them is the death knell and there are now just too many fronts for them to convince people they wuz[sic] robbed.

    One of the dogs is also a rescue dog, which would make them the first rescue dog in the White House.

    I don't get the sense that he wants to play the political game at all.

    We'll see him head up Covid briefings and he'll be doing it because he wants science to lead the conversation, he's not in it for his own fame or to bad mouth others he disagrees with.

    He'll give truthful answers to pointed questions about his relationship with Trump, but I don't see him as someone who will go out there to tell the story of it off his own bat.

    He'll be relieved he can just concentrate on what he needs to

    And really he needs to maintain that impartiality if he wants any chance if being respected by those Trump fans that sunny believe in 'the science'.

    Politicising public health is really a low blow.



    (In private tho, I'd say he has some stories!)

    Schadenfreude is such an unseemly pleasure. But fcuk it, I hope the death of his presidency is long and painful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,448 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980



    Didn't he pledge $500k to Trump's election fraud fund last week? Looks like he's read the fine print and found out half of it actually goes to paying down Trump's debt :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 743 ✭✭✭drogon.



    This not the same guy that just donated 500k to Donald to fight fraud just last week ?

    God, people are morons - Bet none of the Trump family donated a single dime

    Or the rent boy that Rudy knows he spends his money on has died and with his death, gone is Trump's leverage over him.

    Ordinary I would agree with you. But Trump isn't "political", he is chief peddler of dangerous information which has got a lot of people sick, his direct actions of hosting super spreader events have lead to people dying.

    Fauci will have to kill that false narrative brutally, because everyone knows where Trump will go with this into the future, the soon to be popular anti vax route, he has form for it.
    I’ve seen people where they have a perfectly healthy child, and they go for the vaccinations and a month later the child is no longer healthy

    He should've just done a Matt Gaetz and pretended the 12 year old Hispanic male teenager mysteriously living in his home was his "son" (who he had earlier claimed was a "student" and later a "helper").


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,489 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    Lyndsey Graham turns on Trump lol

    Not really surprising, that guy doesn't have a solid bone in his body, has literally slithered through his political career.

    Dangerous fúcking snake.

    But he'd then lose the religious vote!!! what to do, what to do..

    As an aside, wouldn't it be absolutely fantastic if Lyndsey decided to come out completely, went full Elton John on it, and then to really tank Trump, provide proof he had an affair with him?

    Oh what the Trumpians would do to themselves if that happened.

    Word has it Donald may try to run again in 2024. Question is will the Republican's allow him ?

    He could run as an Independent, But I am sure it will split the current Republican vote by half. Many Republicans probably voted for him due to the stance the Democrats take with regards to abortion and what they see it as socialism like health care for all. Will be interesting to see how many would choose Trump as a independent candidate vs someone else from the Republican Party.
