    Can't find a confirmation of that tweet (note that someone in the thread said the same.) Nothing on the NYT, apnews, reuters....

    And, remember this is possibly for a grand jury trial, which will be confidential until charges come out and even then the defense can plea bargain it away. The #IMPOTUS has settled something like 200(?) court cases during his life, this may just end up another he settles.

    I would say he believes almost every word of it, including at times when it directly contradicts something he said not long beforehand. I'm not sure whether that falls under mental illness, personality disorder, or something similar, but it's obviously a sign of someone not well in the head (which a lifetime of surrounding yourself with yes men and being given what ever you want can probably do to someone).

    If the people with the money are sick of him, he won't be making many more speeches.

    He'll find enough simpletons to keep sending him a cheque so he can keep chugging along. If the election taught us one thing its that America is full of them.

    Trump asked a simple question 'Should we boycott baseball' in response to them pulling their all-star game out of Georgia after the voter suppression bill.
    “I’m just not very interested in baseball for the last number of years. I think it’s not appropriate. You know, you look at, you want to find a game, it’s on every channel yet you can’t find anything. It’s the weirdest thing. It used to be a nice, easy thing to follow. And you know what I mean by that. It was on one network and it was nice and good and beautiful. Today, you don’t even know what the hell you’re watching. I would say boycott baseball. Why not?

    Biden is closer to Obama than he is to Trump in terms of speaking skills.

    Trump also went on to say this. Bold my emphasis.
    “I think what they did is a terrible thing. I think it’s a very unfair thing. And they didn’t even know the bill. And in fact, I think they were aware of the bill as it was going along. Everybody was OK with it. Then as soon as Stacey Abrams speaks up, they end up folding. And it should be the opposite. We have more people than they do. We don’t use the power of the people, you know. The people should boycott those companies that all of a sudden are so righteous. And you would find that they would come, they would be right back, because the bill, it’s a weak bill. It’s a weak bill.”

    Tune in tomorrow when his fans will once again decry cancel culture while ignoring sh*t like this from the man himself.

    Boycotting is not the same as cancel culture.
    Boycotting is when you choose not to engage certain people/businesses/etc.
    Cancel culture is when you try to get them fired/shutdown/etc.

    Boycotting is a decision you make for yourself. Cancel culture is a decision you make for yourself and everyone else.

    No matter what Biden does over these next four years (if he lives that long) he can do no wrong in the eye of lefties who hated Trump.

    I see that the distinction between accepting fewer refugees and a deliberate policy of separations as a deterrent is too complex for some to grasp.

    Absolute nonsense. Im left leaning and disliked trump as he was ineffectual in the role. Biden so far is doing an ok job. Basically just undoing all the nonsense of the last 4 years. And if he does do wrong I'll have no qualms saying so. You're engaging in sweeping generalisations which have no merit.

    Bidens actions or non actions are not being reported on the same level as Trump. There was round the clock coverage of all things Trump. Biden is getting away light.

    On another note imagine if Trumps dog had bitten 2 people. I know it's not relevant to his presidency but the media would have had an absolute field day.

    Both are not treated the same coverage wise. There are record numbers at the border. Where are the tv cameras? Where are the politicians fake crying at the border?

    They are not treated the same. By the media anyway.

    That's heavily influenced by Trump's relationship with the media. When he wasn't in the news, he went out of his way to become the news, whether by tweet or statement or calling in to fox news. The man is a notorious narcissist that could not stand not seeing himself on his plethora of television screens during executive time.

    Specifically to Biden, pretty sure the guy made a bit of a fuzzy campaign promise to not be that kind of President, to get politics back to normal where you did not have to check twitter before you took a piss in the morning to see if the POTUS had done more crazy.

    Trump would have tweeted that his dog, the bestest dog, the greatest dog in the history of the world, only bites bad people. Those people must have been bad people. The FBI should investigate them NOW!!

    Follow up tweet about how his dog, the smartest dog, the most brilliantest dog, should go to the border and guard the wall. Stop all the rapists and criminals.

    Then at some pep rally a few days later he would tell his sycophants how he should let his dog, the toughest dog ever, loose in the press room. That would sort out all the fake news pussies.

    So yes the media would cover it differently to Biden's dog.

    It's one rule for inept, narcissistic wannabe-dictators whose wilfull and simply inherent failures led to the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, and another rule for someone whose dog isn't properly trained.

    Your point is that the media cover Trump and Biden in a different way.
    My point is that the 2 of them behave so differently that of course the coverage is different. Trump brought that coverage on himself through his actions. But you refuse to accept that.

    Theres a few here ok who won't hear a bad word about him. According to Donald there would have been no vaccine for 3 or 4 years without him.
    The Trump supporters who invaded Capitol Hill were no threat despite what everyone saw on TV.


    “It was zero threat, right from the start, it was zero threat,” Trump said. “Look, they went in, they shouldn’t have done it. Some of them went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and the guards, you know, they had great relationships.”


    https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-rioters-hugging-kissing-officers-fox-news-1147647/


    The man lies constantly, hes been caught out so often with blatant lies.
    He knows hes doing it and believes everyone knows hes doing it but gets a kick about how many still support him despite this.
    Its like Putin denied he was trying to poison Russians abroad and got the two lads to go on TV and say they were only in Cambridge to see the famous spire.
    Everyone knew they were lying but it I'd say Putin got the same kick as his buddy from telling obvious lies but would still have his supporters backing him.

    The dog that bit people is a rescue dog, who had been rehomed in a normal home (Biden's, pre-presidency) and who now finds himself in a completely new place, with unknown military men all milling around the man he feels he has to look after. That would destabilise plenty of dogs who don't have this dog's past history of possible abuse.

    It's really not clear that the Bidens could have done much to avoid this - sending him for "retraining" is in itself likely to be a traumatising experience for the poor dog, being taken away from his family. Of course now that he's bitten someone it's inevitable, but an initial decision to wait things out and hope that he'd settle was also perfectly reasonable.

    You okay? A rescue dog can have gone through pretty traumatic events in its past. So sometimes they snap out of anxiety or fear. The dog is getting additional training... The fact you think it's scandalous is a little bit cringe.
