If Biden gets the nomination it will be another long 4yrs of team Trump. Biden is a gaff machine.

Trump isn't exactly Mr. Silver Tongue himself.

Yes, but his followers don't care. Liberals will hold Biden's feet to the fire. Kind of like a circle firing squad.

Trump downplays swing voter outreach: 'I'm not sure I have to do that'

CNN) — President Donald Trump is banking on the strength of his base in 2020 and isn't concerned about swing voter outreach ahead of what is expected to be a highly competitive campaign.

"I think my base is so strong, I'm not sure that I have to do that," Trump told TIME during a 57-minute Oval Office interview earlier this week that was published Thursday when "asked whether he should reach out to swing voters."

The President, who won by narrow margins in several key swing states in 2016, is going to need swing voters to pull off another victory in 2020. More than half the country disapproves of his job as President, and he trails every presidential candidate in the top tier of the Democratic field in head-to-head matchups, according to recent polls.

The Trump campaign declined to comment on his
remarks to TIME. However, the campaign has long been hard at work identifying swing voters and building a massive data operation to target and turn them out on Election Day.

Trump doesn't have to focus beyond his base and he doesn't know how to, anyway. His base of pure-bred retards are all frothed up and have too much to lose not to vote again, and the Democrats are going to ensure half of their voting base stays the fuck home, due to their insistence on promulgating someone like Biden. It's already looking like four more years.

This is why I can't be in this thread for more than a post or two. The constant focus on the minutiae makes me homicidal and more radicalized by the second.

This, and finally a breath of fresh air in this thread from a progressive. This saber rattling with Iran is extremely dangerous and we are starting to see lies and false propaganda similar to the Iraq War buildup during 2002. There isn't a single entity in Europe or non-Sunni lunatics in the Middle East who believe Iran attacked those ships. Neither Japan or Norway, who the ships that were fucked with flew under believe Iran was responsible. The Japanese and Norwegian owners of the ships don't believe Iran was responsible. Why would Iran attack two ships with countries they have strong diplomatic relationships with for decades? It's nonsense.

But notice the Modus Operandi. The US media is united against the Trump Administration on domestic issues, but anything regarding Iran is taken at total truth value. I've been listening to NPR for the past week and they take Iran involvement as a foregone conclusion. The President has a genuine psychopath as the National Security Advisor and neocon fanatic as the Secretary of State and none of the #resistance media are criticizing them. And this thread is devoted to Trump's moronic tweets.

The moral hierarchy of people in this country is pathetic. Warmongering is low on the totem pole; Trump lying about his rally attendance is an existential threat.

Why is it a big deal? It's not like anyone here will get killed in Iran.

Trump threatened Time photographer with prison over Kim Jong Un letter

https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/21/media/ti ... index.html

From the article MML posted:

Later in the interview, the Time team brought up the fact that Trump tried to "limit Mueller's Russia probe to only future election meddling." One of the reporters (the transcript doesn't say who) noted that Trump dictated a letter to a former aide, Corey Lewandowski, "telling him to tell" former attorney general Jeff Sessions "to limit the investigation." The details were included in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report.

Nope! No obstruction here, Folks!

Includes prayer from Paula White at Rally towards the end.

In another serious accusation, columnist/TV host E. Jean Carroll says in her new book that Trump sexually violated her in a department store dressing room 25 years ago. Keep in mind that this is a woman with her own successful career and with, like Trump's other accusers, nothing to gain here but ridicule and death threats. He immediately said he never met her, which was followed, as it is with each denial of knowing someone Trump makes, by an obligatory photo of the two of them clearly having met, in this case talking at a party.

Once again, it's clear that the President of the United States is a multiple sexual predator. Jesus H. Christ, how many more times beyond the, what, twelve? Twelve people or so that have come forward? How many has he done this to?

You meant to say "There isn't a single non-lunatic entity in Europe...". The British government, as usual, is in lock-step with whatever a US President says and when Jeremy Corbyn tried to bring some sort of rationality to it he was slapped down by government ministers and pretty much the whole media. Even the supposedly left-wing Guardian hasn't (to my knowledge) published any proper analysis. They all hate Corbyn and even though he's not saying, and has never said, "Iran is great!", even casting doubt on the "Iran is worse than General Zod" narrative fuels the "if you're not with us, you're commie / marxist / fifth-columnist / anti-semitic / death-to-Israel scum".

By the grace of God, if Trump loses in 2020. We'll never hear the end of it. Until, the day he dies or Twitter cuts off his feed.

Yes, I always forget about the UK because they are a de facto vassal state of the US. The Guardian has become a center left neo-liberal rag since Alan Rusbridger left.

Lets not forget the crisis at the border where children are being treated like animals. I saw a clip earlier where a Trump official was defending to a judge that kids don't need beds, toothpaste or soap to be safe and sanitary while in Border Patrol custody.

"Hey Mulvaney! When Snuffleupagus begins digging in into my Finances. I command you to cough. Then you follow my lead. That's an order!"

I severely want Stephen Miller (well, others, too, but especially Miller) to be brought before The Hague court. This is surely his baby.

Here is the thing though; there are tons of moderate conservatives, desperately looking for a moderate Dem to vote for. I can see it going either way.

I think that if it's Trump v Biden, Trump will mop the floor with him. Trump took seasoned politicians in the GOP and just destroyed them in the primaries.

My prediction is that Biden will be a disaster. He comes across just as stupid, boorish, and clueless as Trump with a really murky history in terms of race issues. And unlike Trump, he won't get the white supremacists on board so the racism is just going to cost him.

I was wrong in 2016 and I'm sure I'll be wrong in 2020 but the Dems need someone with energy, who's media savvy, and plays the balance between acknowledging that Trump is a moron and lunatic but then knows that he's best ignored when he tries to game the dialogue. There's a reason Fox News is obsessed with AOC: She does ALL of this. A state rep from NY has been commanding the country's attention.

Instead, we got Biden still being a creep and a dumbass because I guess the idea now is to do Trump Lite.

The 10-year plan calls for projects worth $27.5 billion in the West Bank and Gaza, and $9.1 billion, $7.4 billion and $6.3 billion for Palestinians in Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon, respectively.

Projects envisioned include those in the health care, education, power, water, high-tech, tourism, and agriculture sectors.

Imagine what that 50 billion could do over here in 'Murica..

Great point. I'm not against helping in places like Gaza etc., if a peace can be found as the people have been put down for years. But we can find money for this while our own shit crumbles? We give over $10m a day to Israel, they have universal healthcare but we can't afford it? What gives? And corporate/centrist Democrats are just as much to blame as Republicans on this. I'm ok with giving out aid as long as we get our own shit straight as well.

Why send the US military over to war with Iran? Just drop the nuke and get it over with.
