The Trump campaign wants us to believe that Biden is a senile old man, but also that just a few years ago, he managed to co-opt the entire US foreign policy apparatus, the E.U., and the IMF in a secret ploy to protect his son without anyone knowing.
This is the weird thing about all Trump World conspiracies: For the theories to be feasible, the person at the center of them would have to be a genius, with unparalleled powers of manipulation and cunning
For example, with Uranium One, Hillary Clinton supposedly secured a unanimous vote from nine U.S. government agencies—without leaving any evidence of her involvement—for a deal that would benefit a Clinton Foundation donor who had sold his shares in the company 3 years earlier
With Ukraine, we're to believe that Joe Biden was secretly able to get the U.S. government, our European allies, and multi-national organizations to call for the removal of a prosecutor who already wasn't doing enough to fight corruption, to protect his son from...something?
And in the impeachment, Schiff was able to find a whistleblower, in secret, who was in a position to write a whistleblower complaint so good that a Trump-appointed IG would send it to Congress and Trump's own White House would release the memo that confirmed its core allegations

The Drain the Swamp president is anything but... nyti.ms/3nC8P3e
This single paragraph -- showing the president selling access and influence to wealthy donors who are also personally enriching him -- would be the defining scandal of any other presidential administration
Then: "Elliot Broidy, a California businessman with a checkered past who had raised millions for the Trump campaign, joined Mar-a-Lago after the election. He told an associate that he viewed it as a way to increase access to the president."

Trump has tweeted three dozen times in the last two and a half hours -- dishing deep state conspiracy theories about the Russia investigation, mocking a Joe Biden ad about the death of his wife and children, and saying the FDA's intentionally slowing down the COVID vaccine
He's tweeted four more times since I wrote this tweet
Just a normal day in America, where the president of the United States is demanding that his attorney general arrest his political enemies

I read the first sentence of this tweet, and my stupid brain thought "Maybe he's going to encourage people to get flu shots to dull the impact of the winter COVID resurgence."

You sweet, stupid brain. You know better than that.
The last time the U.S. saw 100,000 from the flu, Donald Trump was getting Vietnam deferments for bone spurs from a tenant in one of his dad's buildings

Here's Trump -- who just announced he and Melania are under quarantine for possible COVID infection -- mocking Joe Biden at Tuesday's debate for wearing a mask
I hope thay the president and the first lady are okay and that this teaches the president, in particular, a valuable lesson about the importance of following the guidelines put forth by his own administration's health officials.
Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in Wisconsin on Saturday.

I know it's going to blow your mind, but literally everything Trump just said about his admissions rollback is wrong.

The move will make cars more expensive, less safe, and dirtier.
Consumer Reports pegs the additional costs per vehicle at $3,300, explaining that the administration's move essentially amounts to a "gas tax" advocacy.consumerreports.org/press_release/…

I paid several times more in income taxes last year than Donald Trump, even though he had a personal income of more than $450 million nyti.ms/3jmgeBf
It turns out Trump has been fighting an IRS audit for a decade. Losing it could cost him $100 million.

It's refreshing to learn, for once that he wasn't lying about something (though the existence of the audit was never a valid excuse not to release his tax returns) Image
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY HE SHOULD HAVE LONG AGO RELEASED HIS TAX RETURNS! Image
