August 13, 20205 yr Author https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-ramps-up-sexist-rhetoric-against-political-rivals/ar-BB17V9kd?li=BBnb7Kz Quote Trump ramps up sexist rhetoric against political rivals By Quint Forgey 4 hrs ago President Donald Trump on Thursday deployed sexist language to assail several female political rivals — ramping up his attacks just hours after newly minted vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris delivered a scathing rebuke and as Speaker Nancy Pelosi is proving unrelenting in stimulus negotiations. The attacks also come as the president’s reelection effort has made explicit attempts to court the suburban female voters who are turning away from Trump in large numbers. The president’s opening salvo Thursday morning targeted "Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski, whom he described in a tweet as the "ditzy airhead wife” of the MSNBC talk show’s other presenter, Joe Scarborough. In an interview with the Fox Business network’s Maria Bartiromo less than an hour later, Trump went on to sling insults at Harris, the running mate to presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. As he did earlier this week, Trump invoked the California senator’s prosecutorial questioning of his second Supreme Court appointment, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, during contentious Senate confirmation hearings in 2018. "Now you have a — sort of a mad woman, I call her, because she was so angry and such hatred with Justice Kavanaugh,” Trump said. "I mean, I’ve never seen anything like it. She was the angriest of the group. But they were all angry.” The incendiary comments came after Harris delivered a personal blow to Trump during her debut appearance with Biden on Wednesday. "He inherited the longest economic expansion in history from Barack Obama and Joe Biden. And then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground,” she said at a campaign event in Wilmington, Del. The president on Thursday next spoke dismissively of New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, pillorying the progressive congresswoman’s policy proposals and seeming to claim she was a "poor student” in college. "I mean, I won’t say where she went to school. It doesn't matter,” he said. "This is not even a smart person, other than she’s got a good line of stuff. I mean, she goes out and she — she yaps.” Finally, Trump homed in on perhaps his most frequent governing foil, Pelosi. He predicted Republicans would win back the House from Democrats in the November election, and called the highest-ranking woman in American political history "stone-cold crazy.” The president’s messaging Thursday is apparently at odds with his recent appeals to female voters less than three months from Election Day — which themselves have been criticized as outdated, potentially sexist and rife with racial undercurrents. Last month, Trump implored the "Suburban Housewives of America” in a tweet to read an op-ed in The New York Post panning "Joe Biden’s disastrous plans for America’s suburbs.” The president also boasted last month about pushing low-income housing out of suburban enclaves, tweeting: "I am happy to inform all of the people living their Suburban Lifestyle Dream that you will no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having low income housing built in your neighborhood.” And on Wednesday, Trump tweeted that the “‘suburban housewife’ will be voting for me” in November, insisting that they "are thrilled that I ended the long running program where low income housing would invade their neighborhood. Biden would reinstall it, in a bigger form, with Corey Booker in charge!” New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, the Black lawmaker whose name Trump misspelled in his message, responded online: "Donaled, your racism is showing.” winning over women voters left & right!
August 13, 20205 yr I'm at the point to where I've given up hoping Trump can be dethroned. He'll cheat, lie, keep groups from the funds they need, etc. I really can't imagine 4 more years of his crap, but I simply can't help being pessimistic that the election is over before it started. If someone strongly disagrees, please reply to give me some sort of hope.

Every single one of them would have to be historically wrong. He's behind in every single swing state.

And it's a legitimate concern. But, yeah, based on the actual votes, he doesn't stand a chance.

Even though I voted by mail in the primary, I plan to vote in person in November.

VanHammersly got it right with my biggest concern. I voted by mail in the primary and will vote by mail again due to not being able to get transportation (wheelchair disabled). The only thing I could think of is that people rise up and vote in person thinking the same way I do. But I don't see that.

Not sure if you live in PA but I'm sure democratic volunteers will be picking them up and hand delivering them if it looks like it will be a problem. The get out the vote effort has been the strongest I've seen from the dems since 2008.

I'll vote in a hazmat suit with a rifle over my shoulder if I have to, but there's a lot of people that can't. But, like you're saying above, I'm pretty sure there are ways to have your ballot delivered, whether it's by a volunteer or just by someone you know.

August 14, 20205 yr From the "this should surprise no one" file. Michael Cohen published a sneak peak on Thursday afternoon of Disloyal – his upcoming memoir about his years-long relationship with Donald Trump In the published foreword, titled The Real Donald Trump, Cohen claims the president wants to be 'leader for life' in a bid to avoid prison time Cohen also claimed in the foreword that scandals in recent months that have plagued the Trump administration are only the 'tip of the iceberg' He also reveals that he witnessed a 'golden showers' incident and helped Trump commit tax fraud and lie to his wife, Melania Trump Cohen claimed he helped create 'a secret back channel to Putin' with Trump

But yeah, the question itself wasn't going to lead to any insightful answer.

It's like one guy getting a speeding ticket and the other being convicted of murder and the takeaway is "everyone breaks the law."

August 14, 20205 yr Author the people cheeto associates with. Michael Cohen predicts that Trump will 'never leave office peacefully' because he's terrified of being sent to prison Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer of President Donald Trump, has released the foreword of his coming memoir, "Disloyal." In the blurb, he argued that his old boss would not leave office peacefully should he lose November's presidential election. "As the months passed by and I thought about the man I knew so well, I became even more convinced that Trump will never leave office peacefully," he wrote. Trump has refused to confirm he will accept November's election result win or lose, and critics say he is attempting to affect the election's outcome by sowing doubts about its integrity. A judge ordered Cohen's release into home confinement in July, saying he believed the government was retaliating against Cohen for writing a book about Trump by imprisoning him again after his May release. The White House attacked Cohen after the foreword was released, accusing him of lying in order to make money and harm Trump.
August 14, 20205 yr College football seems like an odd crusade. I guess because its so big in places like Florida and Alabama where his redneck base resides.
August 14, 20205 yr Quote "There’s always been temptation … but no president in modern times has taken action so explicitly and obviously—or transparently—to influence and actually direct these agencies to favor the party in power,” Paul Light, a public-service professor at New York University, told me. "None. None.” Quote But no matter which individuals were appointed to lead them, some agencies have always been considered more protected from politics. It’s those barriers that Trump, with the tacit support of congressional Republicans, is steadily dismantling. Presidents have used the Postal Service to reward loyalists with jobs since the country’s earliest history. But they didn’t expect what Trump does from the agency. "The whole spoils system goes back to having supporters who were appointed as postmasters,” says Kedric Payne, the general counsel of the nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center and a former top official at the Office of Congressional Ethics. "But it wasn’t to disrupt the election.” The result of Trump’s moves: an executive branch whose full reach and power is being conscripted to serve the president’s immediate interests. "All of it comes from a place that whatever is in his personal interest—whether it’s financial, reputational, or political—if it benefits him, the government is merely a tool for serving himself,” Walter Shaub, the director of the Office of Government Ethics under former President Barack Obama, told me. "He has simply crossed lines that no one would even conceive of crossing in the past.” His determination to harness federal power to his personal advantage links his choices throughout his presidency, including funneling federal dollars into businesses he owns and withholding military aid for Ukraine in exchange for an election favor, the actions that led to his impeachment in the House last year. Experts I spoke with said that Trump has dramatically accelerated the pace of his efforts to weaponize federal actions since his Senate acquittal, when every Republican, except Utah’s Mitt Romney, voted to dismiss the charges against him with no sanction and not even a full-scale trial to explore the evidence.
