Not satire. It's not about whether a single one of them will vote in the election, either, but presumably they'd see Trump's reelection as not a good thing. It's about creating a segment of voters that may look at what these people are doing and vote for the candidate who speaks or acts most strongly against it--even if they dislike Trump for many other reasons. Joe Biden should speak out forcefully against burning and looting, several times.ant wrote:DWill wrote:I wonder if the looters or rioters in Portland and Chicago realize they're aiding Trump's reelection bid. I'm concerned about that, as well as about the harm they're inflicting on other people.
That satire?
Don't know why anyone would think they care if he gets re-elected.
What's out on the streets in cities like Portland and Seattle (Chicago is just mostly thugs out looting) are the children of milk-tea liberals.
Even if they do bother to vote democrat the very idea these lowbrow idiots are democrats is a shameful reflection on the party itself.

Re: Trump Watch
Joe Biden wont be speaking forcefully against the burning and looting because his entire party hasn't and won't.
Can't see how anyone can't see or understand that.

Re: Trump Watch
Chicago mayor certainly did, though, didn't she? It will not surprise me if Biden does, though it will disappoint me if he doesn't. He's not for defunding the police, so with that as an example, you can't say he's beholden to the more radical political wing.ant wrote:Joe Biden wont be speaking forcefully against the burning and looting because his entire party hasn't and won't.

Re: Trump Watch
Here's a Trump Watch item for today:

(bad Trump.. bad)
"This historic diplomatic breakthrough will advance peace in the Middle East region and is a testament to the bold diplomacy and vision of the three leaders and the courage of the United Arab Emirates and Israel to chart a new path that will unlock the great potential in the region," the statement said.

Re: Trump Watch
Consistent with the whole Trump/Kushner M.E. strategy, though. It's quite a coup, as well, and may help boost Trump before the election. Biggest question: will Netanyahu in the end back down from annexation? That would make this deal one of the most significant in memory.ant wrote:Here's a Trump Watch item for today:

Re: Trump Watch
Yes. You can even make a case that the Trump initiative of moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv was a signal to the Middle East that the U.S. no longer had any interest in holding back Israel's territorial ambitions, and thus gave a carrot to the Emirates who wanted an excuse to normalize relations. (Apparently the commercial ties have been growing rapidly, as Israel has a huge tech industry and the UAE has money to invest, not necessarily its own.) I've managed to read a few analyses already, and I thought that was a particularly insightful one.DWill wrote:Consistent with the whole Trump/Kushner M.E. strategy, though.
Maybe, although Florida is the only swing state with enough voters who care about the Mideast. Conceivably Ohio.DWill wrote:It's quite a coup, as well, and may help boost Trump before the election.
One pundit has it that Netanyahu will move forward with annexation (it had a July deadline, originally) if Trump is re-elected. Ironically, it may take both a good cop and a bad cop to get Bibi to stand down from that rash promise. I leave it to others to decide who is the good cop and who is the bad cop.DWill wrote:Biggest question: will Netanyahu in the end back down from annexation?

Re: Trump Watch
Our Mr. ant--what did he mean by his post? I chose to take him at his word and disagree, giving Trump credit for this. Maybe ant really does think the deal is bad, who knows? The deal does leave the Palestinians in their same plight.

Re: Trump Watch
It's not even particularly shocking anymore to hear Trump say this. But it is shocking to think that anyone can consider voting for a person who isn't even a patriot.
"The only way we're going to lose this election is because it's rigged. Remember that."
Donald Trump on 8/16/20.

Donald Trump is implicitly stating that he doesn't believe in a republican form of government, and that voting is irrelevant. "If I win, that's correct. If I lose, the election was rigged!" Dude, that's like African 3rd world dictator level shit.
Here's the relevant video.
