    Yep
    Crazy! Madness! Lunacy and hypocrisy 🙄
    Cultural outrage? It's like you don't even know what words and phrases mean.

    If it helps, an example of cultural outrage would be saying you would never again buy food from a Chinese takeaway or restaurant because of what they did at the start of the Covid epidemic (though there are other words and phrases that can be used for this kind of thinking).

    It is possible that people will look at things in a different light after a particularly polarising figure like Trump departs particularly if the regime that follows starts correcting the damage that individual has done to the environment, race relations, engagement with allies and enemies and wealth distribution without a hint of the hypocrisy you serve up when talking about anti-semitism given your back catalogue on race.

    One hundred days before the presidential election, Joe Biden has built a commanding and enduring lead over Donald Trump, whose path to victory has narrowed considerably in the months since the coronavirus pandemic began.

    The president’s fortunes appear increasingly tied to the trajectory of a public health crisis he has failed to contain, with the death toll past 145,000 and the economy in turmoil.

    A Washington Post-ABC News poll this month showed Biden far ahead of Trump, 55% to 40% among registered voters. That contrasted with March, when Biden and Trump were locked in a near tie as the virus was just beginning to spread.

    The same poll found Trump’s approval ratings had crumbled to 39%, roughly the same share of the electorate that approved of his response to the outbreak while 60% disapproved. Especially troubling for the president are a new spate of polls that suggest he is losing his edge on the economy, formerly Biden’s greatest vulnerability.

    ....

    Surveys show Biden ahead in a clutch of battleground states that secured Trump’s victory in 2016, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. A Quinnipiac University poll of Florida, seen as crucial for Trump, found Biden up by 13 points.

    Biden’s campaign is now eyeing an expanded electoral map that could also deliver control of the Senate, challenging Trump in traditionally Republican states like Arizona, where the president has consistently led in statewide polls, as well as in conservative strongholds like Texas, where a new Quinnipiac poll found the candidates neck-and-neck.

    You do have to wonder what constituency beyond his 40% base he is reaching out to if he thinks slagging off the Ronald Reagan Foundation is the best way to go!

    The Durham investigation is now looking at unauthorized unmasking that predated the Trump election campaign.

    Have to say, I'm a big fan of trump's current election strategy of weekly car crash interviews.

    it's a bit of a Catch-22 for him. He has spent most of his media time over the last few years in a safe Fox opinion bubble with people like Hannity ,Lou Dobbs and Fox and Friends serving up softball interviews.

    To win he needs to reach out beyond his base so he has done a few interviews with what some call MSM channels including the Fox News arm. He seems unprepared for challenge and pushback when he goes into bullshit/lie mode which can't help with the part of the electorate he is targeting.

    That said, Biden seems to be running a "let Trump lose it" campaign which can't be sustainable for ever. Presume this will change a little when he announces his VP running mate. Conversely Biden's team may have noticed how Boris Johnson was effectively hidden from 1-2-1 media scrutiny when he was election favourite and they think that this could work for them

    Re: The Donald Trump thread

    Does anyone have any ideas why Trump would repeatedly say that he wishes G Maxwell well and that her boyfriend was killed or commited suicide in prison?

    It sounds a bit like something a mob boss would say to silence a witness. Anyone have any theories on why he's so keen to pass on this message?

    Yes, to observers that don't play 24D chess like Trump, it almost looks like he's giving her the option of mouth shut and a pardon or commuted sentence like Roger Stone, or a late night visitor to her cell with a syringe!

    But Donald's a nice guy, he just wishes her well. That's all.

    It turns out Christopher Steele wasn’t 007. ( I thought he would be the next Bond , bugger )

    For years, the media assured Americans that the dossier alleging treasonous collusion between Donald Trump and Russia was based on the scrupulous work of a mastermind British ex-spy and his vast network of credible and well-connected sources spread throughout Europe. It wasn’t true.

    Steele did not personally collect any of the factual information in his reports. The “vast network” was instead a “social circle” of an American-based former Brookings Institute junior staffer, recently identified for the first time as Igor Danchenko. The friends didn’t have well-documented claims so much as rumors, drunken gossip, and outright brainstorming, conjecture, and speculation. Even that information was “multiple layers of hearsay upon hearsay” before it got to Steele, who then hyperbolically overstated it. And the damning claims of “collusion” appear to have been scandalously misattributed or invented out of whole cloth.

    With such shoddy information collection and analysis methods, there was never any reason to give credence to any of the salacious allegations in the dossier, whether it was claims of secret deals with Russian oil concerns, secret meetings in foreign capitals, prostitutes urinating on Moscow hotel room beds, files of compromising information, or the careful cultivation of Trump, yes Trump, into the most effective Russian agent in history.
