Trump lied in his El Paso rally

I worry about the 2020 campaign and election. How are Trump and his cult going to handle if they lose? During the campaign, his claims will get wilder if he is losing and desperate to motivate his base. If he loses, will he and his cult accept the result?? I have my doubts.

Daniel Dale’s thread-always great stuff

Trump lies about everything.

CNN should not have a town hall with Schultz now

This is right on the money. CNN and other networks helped Trump tremendously by giving him so much coverage. Schultz hasn’t even announced that he is a candidate. Give the town halls to the actual candidates.

Let’s look back. Jeff Zucker, now head of CNN, gave Trump a big boost by having The Apprentice on NBC. CNN gave Trump a ton of coverage in 2016.

“Ten years later, it was Zucker, now the head of CNN, who gave Trump astonishing amounts of free exposure in the Republican presidential primary on the cable network, continually blasting out his speeches and rallies — often unfiltered and without critical fact-checking.

“It’s a not-unfair knock on CNN to say that they went all in on Trump and helped him enormously,” Ken Lerer, co-founder of the Huffington Post and BuzzFeed, said in a recent onstage interview at City University of New York’s journalism school. “I think it was a strategy, a programming strategy.”

Yet another fake right wing picture

The right wing sure spreads a lot of fake stuff. Trump supporters must not be interested in facts.

Trump lies about the detention beds dispute

We’ll never get an agreement if this is what Trump thinks. Democrats do not want criminals here and it is disgusting for Trump to say that.

From the article” “This gets at the much bigger argument here: Democrats don’t want to deport longtime residents and want to refocus resources away from that. Trump and Republicans do want to deport as many from the interior as possible, with no regard to their status.

The bottom line is that Trump and top adviser Stephen Miller want fewer immigrants in the United States. That’s why they want cuts to legal immigration, restrictions on asylum seeking, slashed refugee flows and (as we’re discussing now) a much broader deportation dragnet.”

Trump’s bigoted tweet on the Trail of Tears

Trump referred to the TRAIL in a tweet on Warren. Once again, he’s a bigot – and Trump, Jr. is proud of it.

Trump will get real nasty for the 2020 election, especially if it appears he would be indicted once he is no longer president. There’s no bottom to his bigotry.


This is deliberate, not a potential mockery.
