    Unfortunate about the suicide. We do though need a lot more of this declining hush money to expose bad behaviours. Makes no difference to me who these people who do bad things support politi

That is such bullshit. Anyone enabling him in any way is complicit. Let him make bad decisions, perhaps it will force the senate to actually do their jobs and hold an out of control president accountable. 

Agreed. Had enough people in his inner circle spoken out a couple of years ago, there would be a lot fewer dead Americans. But self-interest outweighs ethics often.

“Fox is terrible!”: Trump rages at network after poll shows him losing to Joe Biden by double digits
Trump's campaign threatened legal action against CNN over a similarly unfavorable poll. Will it do the same to Fox?


President Donald Trump lashed out at Fox News after the network's latest national poll showed him trailing presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden by 12 points. Biden leads Trump 50-38 in the latest survey after the network found him leading by only eight points last month.

"For over a year, the portion backing Trump against Biden has stayed between 37-42 percent," Fox News reported. "Biden's support has ranged from 42-52 percent."

Days after his campaign threatened legal action against CNN over a poll which found Biden leading by a similar 14 points, the president alleged that the far more Trump-friendly Fox News had produced a "phony" poll which was "done by the same group of haters that got it even more wrong in 2016."

    Trump faces avalanche of criticism after his rude behavior is caught on video

    President Donald Trump was excoriated on social media after turning his attention to Twitter during a roundtable Thursday afternoon on the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic as one attendee detailed the hardships faced by her small business due to the outbreak.

    “Get off your phone and pay attention!” tweeted author Jason Cranford Teague.
    The president began scrolling through his phone as a business owner described how the pandemic has affected her company’s operations, including the need for added runners and phone operators to handle social distancing requirements. Trump’s focus instead was apparently on composing a tweeted threat to China referring to Ambassador Robert Lighthizer’s comments Wednesday to the House that it was unlikely the Chinese and U.S. economies could “decouple.”

    The Trump campaign’s Nazi symbol scandal just got a whole lot worse

    Yet another controversy involving President Donald Trump and his allies came about this week when Facebook removed some campaign ads that used an infamous symbol from the 1930s: a red inverted triangle, which Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime used to identify political prisoners ranging from communists and liberals to members of opposition parties. Trump’s campaign has, in essence, responded that it didn’t use that symbol to promote Nazi ideology, but to smear Antifa. Nonetheless, Trump’s critics have asserted that using that symbol in the first place was clueless and ignorant. And according to Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent, a leaked internal document from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security makes Trump and his allies look even worse in this controversy.

    “After Facebook removed the ads amid an outcry,” Sargent explains, “the Trump campaign continued to defend use of the image — which was used by Nazis to identify political prisoners — by claiming it’s a ‘common Antifa symbol.’ The suggestion, of course, is that the image is justified by the idea that it’s associated with Antifa, so it’s merely a warning of a continuing menace to the country. ‘STOP ANTIFA,’ the ads say, warning of ‘dangerous MOBS of far-left groups’ that are ‘DESTROYING our cities.’”

    So apparently Bolton's book is full of classified lies, so say supporters of Trump, nothing in the book is true but all of the untruths are classified, and yes they think it can be both according to stupid people that kneel before their stupid God.

    If I can translate: snitches get stitches. 

    With Trump's popularity and cedibility tanking, the number of people willing to go to the wall for him is dropping and the number of people who are willing to defy or expose him is going up, so his power is shrinking. The avalanche is beginning, and a district attorney who is investigating Trump and his allies is refusing to resign.

    Six members of Trump's Tulsa advance team test positive for Coronavirus

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/6-trump-campaign-members-tulsa-test-positive-coronavirus-ahead-rally-n1231647

    Watching the lineup for the rally - people shoulder to shoulder, round the block....very few wearing those unmanly masks.  
    Like watching the Titanic, where crew and passengers have advance notice of the iceberg

    What next?  Barrels of colored Kool-Aid at the doors?
