August 28, 20241 yr I get that 30% of the electorate are either rubes or suffering from acute lead poisoning, but one thing that I can't for the life of me understand is the 20% on top of that which is giving Trump the poll numbers he has. Even taking into account that those 20% generally aren't terminally online political nerds like we are and get their political info from the 11 oclock news, I just don't get it.

He added: "Are we tough enough to scare our adversaries so we don't go to war? Do the Chinese, Russians and Persians think we're strong? "The president needs to tell them if you cross these lines, this is what we're going to do, and you have to then enforce it."

How hard is it to fathom that when the leaders of the U.S. are weak, it fosters instability throughout the world. It's kinda like getting a crime wave when you have a Jim Kenney running your city, but on a much larger scale.

August 28, 20241 yr Maybe with any luck there will be either a wing of the dems or another party that will be pro-business, pro-nat'l security. For as much as I hope that the republicans will return to their form from years ago, a part of me doesn't. Not because I do not wish to see a return to form, but from what in the past has caused populism to fail. War.
August 28, 20241 yr Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington Cemetery : NPR Quote Two members of Donald Trump's campaign staff had a verbal and physical altercation Monday with an official at Arlington National Cemetery, where the former president participated in a wreath-laying ceremony, NPR has learned. A source with knowledge of the incident said the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried. The source said Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60. When the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump campaign staff from entering Section 60, campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source. F your rules, donnybottom needs photo ops !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

August 28, 20241 yr The world will respect us if Trump is in charge /s Trump national security team watched in horror as China's Xi Jinping 'ate his lunch': book The incident in question came during a visit to China in November of 2017 in which McMaster tried to warn Trump against letting Xi make him stray from his prepared talking points. Trump, however, had other ideas. "In the Great Hall of the People, the president strayed from his talking points," according to the Times's report. "He agreed with Xi that military exercises in South Korea were 'provocative' and a 'waste of money' and suggested that China might have a legitimate claim to Japan’s Senkaku Islands. McMaster, his stomach sinking, passed a note to Gen. John Kelly, the chief of staff: Xi 'ate our lunch,' it read." McMaster also says that foreign leaders treated Trump like a "chump" and quickly discovered they could manipulate him by boosting his ego. "In 2018, McMaster found Trump in the Oval Office scrawling a cheerful note to Putin across a New York Post article reporting that the Russian president had denigrated the American political system but called Trump a good listener. Like a child with his Christmas wish list, the leader of the free world asked McMaster to send it to the Kremlin."
