Trump is very good at pandering to the conservative christian vote (mainly because of his anti-abortion, sorry "pro life", stance, hatred of muslims and his quite obvious homophobia- three things that he probably didn't give a solitary shit about before he realised it could give him power)

this is, of course, despite the fact that he leads the least Christ-like lifestyle possible but they're not really bothered about that

Very well put. The link with his Christian base is faltering, they expected stronger returns in terms of Supreme Court decisions which haven't been what they wanted. In fairness Trump doesn't make these but he was a hope that their agenda would be more fully applied.

Quite a lot to upack there, but does he not realise that mail-in ballots have been around for decades? Do presumably all of the other presidential elections were rigged, even Trumpo's win at the last one... :dunce:

we can go further than that, Trump himself has said Florida's system is ok and you should use mail in. is he dog-whistling for people there? he's only critical of states he's likely to lose.

Steve Schmidt former GOP Republican strategist has come out with an incredibly damning twitter attack on Trump https://twitter.com/steveschmidtses/status/1292259010184445952?s=21&fbclid=IwAR0AWd88X-ia-OOXdCJ5flup_IctQMSvTQ-zl1ZXdVT09tVIRq7t6rqEXLw

"I find it necessary to reach for the language and colorful colloquialisms of my native land, New Jersey, in order to express my feelings about today’s event in Bedmimster. It was a ****ing travesty. Truly. An utter ****ing disgrace.
The President of the United States of America stood behind the Seal of his office framed by American flags and his private club’s membership slurring and raving about his victimization.

His titanic self pity was only exceeded by his dishonesty and uncontrolled lying. His lying was only Subordinate to his staggering idiocy, ignorance, ineptitude and incompetence.
The incompetence, even after all this time, shocks the conscience. 162,000 Americans are dead and the economy is shattered. So many more will die. The evictions, foreclosures and small business closings are just beginning. We are in the early hours of one of the greatest tragedies in our countries history.

None of it had to be, but it has happened because Donald Trump is President. His malice, stupidity, ego and insecurity are a lethal combination. He has wrecked this country in less than four years. He has induced a national nosedive, a decline that is precipitous, dangerous and humiliating. The world is more dangerous.

American soldiers are hunted like animals by Taliban killers who are paid bounties by Russian killers and Trump does nothing but KowTow to Putin and advance his agenda.
Trump has divided the country and pitted Americans against each other. He has loosed violence against Peacefully assembled US Citizens and deployed militarized paramilitary forces to escalate tensions in American cities in the name of Law and order when the real purpose and mission is to stoke the embers of chaos and create Fear.
Fear, built on a mountain of lies, is the Autocrats sword and shield. Trump stokes fear to abuse his power and press forward with his assaults on the rule of law, our essential Institutions and our national comity all in the name of his corruption, aggrandizement and cult of personality.
It is a despicable hour in the life of this country. This will be ended because it must end. We will lose the country if Trump isn’t repudiated. Make no mistake about the intentions of a President who is openly undermining the 231 year old tradition of American elections.

He is undermining the legitimacy of the coming election with no regard for the consequences to liberal democracy here and around the world.

Fascism didn’t rise In the thirties because it was strong. It rose because Democracy was weak. American Democracy is weak, decayed and led by an illiberal man who, if he could would cancel the election, lock up his political opponents, enrich his friends and remain in power for life. Trump is the greatest failure in American History.

No American has failed history’s test in a more spectacular fashion. His stoking of racial tensions and a cold civil war in our land will live in infamy. His disgrace will be eternal."

Can't really argue against any of this.... But he did go a bit light on Trump all things considered.

Oh, and now Trump has said the great pandemic of 1917 "probably ended the Second World War, all the soldiers were sick".

This should come as a shock. It doesn't any more.

I sat open-mouthed when I watched this. This is the man in charge of what is supposed to be the greatest nation on earth!

It really is incredible, incredible and very scary...

I'm guessing he'll now be waiting a lot longer than five years to ask Trumpo another question :lolol:

Orange **** now starving the US Postal Service of funds in order to further undermine the system of postal voting that he's already decided - with little or no supporting evidence - is rigged. Trump is by far the biggest threat to Western democracy there's ever been and will have to be prised out of office with a metaphorical crowbar. Election WILL get messy. Dangerously so.

It’s a pity today that the next reporter just repeated the question and so on

He would just walk out. He did it the other day when someone asked a question he didn't like!
