If some publications are to believed, Bolsonaro is planning a coup in the next few week so perhaps Mr. Miller is giving him tips and where they made their mistakes in their attempt

I did a search on Twitter and yeah it’s the same lad and he’s now sporting a beard to hid said chin. And shockingly he’s claiming to reporter Olivia nuzzi by text that he was detained for three hours in the airport because the police wanted to have a chat. I think the police have better things to do than “chat” to a former Trump aide for hours on end.

Remember when Republicans lost their sh*t at sports people disrespecting the flag, and as they put it, everyone who had fought and died for it, by kneeling to call attention to unfair treatment of Black people?

What is the former President doing on the 20 year anniversary of the single most significant attack on America since Pearl Harbor? Attending a ceremony at Ground Zero perhaps? Hosting a prayer and reflection meeting to pause and contemplate the event? Joining with other former Presidents to mark the occasion in some way? Nope, none of the above.

I for one am not a single bit surprised. This is exactly his level and style.

In fairness he probably has a particular identification with Holyfield, yesterday's man desperately trying to stay in the game.

Off topic but how is Holyfield even allowed to fight at his age, surely at serious risk of losing more than his ears...

Must be Biden sending out those deep state snipers to shoot his enemies with bullets filled with lethal doses of covid 19 that doesn't really exist but can kill you despite not being serious at all.

I'd post the same on reddit, but there's too much of a risk of yanks seeing the post running with that as the truth of what happened. It's more sane than whatever this conspiracy will roll into (and it absolutely will) if those people die of the virus.

I got a bit of a laugh at this one. Democrats rigging the election in well known Republican stronghold that is California 😅

It's a Propaganda strategy. It allows Republicans to push a narrative which then facilitates the introduction of voting (inhibiting) legislation at a state level and then if, and when, they carry out dubious practices around voting (ala Bush Gore in 2000) or Georgia Governor Election in 2018, they'll have sufficiently muddied the waters to deny any meaningful investigation in to whatever has happened.

Further and further into irrelevance he goes. It's a beautiful thing to watch

So if it wasn’t for the battle he lost he would have won the war! No wonder Trump likes him he lost.

I’d imagine the reality is he doesn’t give a toss about Lee or the statue but it plays well with his support.

He does, but the problem is not limited to the poorly educated. Many of his supporters are business owners, college grads etc. It is too easy an excuse to simply claim they are poorly educated.

There is a deep seated divide in the US, mainly driven along racist lines but it goes deeper into a lack of empathy and a failing of any feelings of a greater society, it is all about individual freedoms (except when it comes to things they don't like of course)

It's far more of the latter in my view.

Covid has displayed that in spades - The almost total lack of "community" among large numbers of (mostly GOP) Americans has been clearly seen.

They just want to only worry about themselves and don't have any desire to conform to any kind of Community/Society driven behaviour. They don't care about "individual" freedoms in terms of any kind of collective view , as long as they are ok and they are able to do & say whatever they selfishly want to do then that's all they care about.

It's not about "Society" being free to do what they want , it's 100% about them personally and individually - They couldn't care less about anyone else.

It plays into the entire GOP playbook though.

"Small Government" really means "I'm not spending a penny of MY money on stuff for other people" , this feeds into their "Low Taxes" view as well , it's got nothing to do with being "Better for Economic Growth" it is exclusively "It's MY money I'm not giving any of it to pay for things for other people".

Layer on top the religious view that a lot of them have that any and all misfortune that befalls you is because you aren't praying hard enough and you have the perfect storm of self-righteous, self involved selfishness.

..and if Robert E. Lee had teamed up with Batman, Captain America and Supergirl, he would have won the Afghanistan war IN UNDER 5 HOURS!!

I think it's also too easy to assume that all Trump supporters believe everything he says. The Independent (I think) had a good piece prior to the election about asking Trump voters why they were voting for him. Sure, there were the 'muh freedomz from the libruls' voters, but there were others voting form him purely for economic reasons. The Republicans have always been seen as the party of lower tax.

One voter had invented some kind of lego bag (some kind of thing that folds out to be a stable base for building lego, then you can fold the whole thing up into a carry case), and she was concerned about Chinese knock-offs ignoring has patent. She felt Trump would do a better job protecting her product.

I don't think it's the case at all that every supporter buys into every crazy thing Trump says, although clearly some do. I think what it really shows is that people will vote for the candidate who leaves them with more money in their pocket, and that motivation overrides their feelings on a lot of other policies or positions (which won't affect them personally).

But surely we had genius recently in the White House who would have put Robert E. Lee in the shade with his genius and prevailed in Afghanistan

Too busy overseeing a boxing match i think

PropJoe10 · 11-09-2021 09:28PM

Obama, Biden, Bush, Clinton all involved in memorials for the victims of 9/11. Meanwhile, Trump is commentating on a geriatric boxing event. Says pretty much everything about the type of person he is!

It does say a lot about the type of person he is, but it's all been said before. There's so much protocol he's broken with, that it would honestly be surprising if he did something classy and in line with being a respectful statesman.

relax carry on · 12-09-2021 12:02AM

Trump being Trump and being tone deaf to 9/11 commemorations doesn't matter to his fans. He can do no wrong. Those republicans who may be appalled by his disrespect either don't matter in the grand scheme of things or won't say anything to keep the party together. For everyone else who knows what a terrible human being he is; it doest really change anything. It's just another thing to shake your head at and wonder how such a poor specimen of humanity was ever elected POTUS.

Remember when he's first interviewed after the tragedy happened? He falsely claimed that Trump Tower was now the highest building in the area since the world trade centre was destroyed, that he could see people jumping from his office on 5th avenue (impossible to see in that direction from his office), and that he was down that day helping sift through the rubble (he was only spotted a week later at the site in a suit without a speck of dust on it)

And didn’t he say he lost friends in the disaster and went to funerals ? It turned out that wasn’t true(I know ye are shocked at that) and I think allied for money claiming trump tower was damaged by the towers falling which as you point out, he couldn’t have seen the buildings fall where he was.

And even if his claim that trump tower WAS the tallest building in the area(which it wasn’t), surely then wasn’t the time to bring it up.
