"By spring, Trump was calling Guaidó the 'Beto O'Rourke of Venezuela,' hardly the sort of compliment an ally of the United States should expect."

In his book, John Bolton outs himself as a warmongering karen while Trump sounds witty, rational, reasonable and in control.  :doge

I don't recall writing this


Apparently Bolton gives a point by point detailed account of how he wanted to stage a coup in Venezuela.

Also no one ever used the words: "They are afraid when John Bolton starts tweeting"  :lol

If you absolutely positively have to bothsides it, just mention big scary antifa as a counterweight. That'd be way more coherent than saying a bunch of white supremacists trying to start a race war are from "both ends of the political spectrum."

Lordy.

A noose was found in the garage stall of Black driver Bubba Wallace at the NASCAR race in Alabama on Sunday, less than two weeks after he successfully pushed the auto racing series to ban the Confederate flag at its tracks and facilities.


Quote
“It’s weird. It’s eerie,” said David Radvansky, 32, from suburban Atlanta, who brought his wife and two young boys.

Pretty sure someone already posted about it, but McSally's plan is lifted directly from a travel industry lobby group (2a).

Besides being lousy as stimulus it's pretty nuts to be incentivizing travel before the virus is under control, especially coming from a senator from fucking Arizona right now.

From a couple months ago: Trump Campaign Secretly Paying $180,000 A Year To His Sons’ Significant Others

Quote from: Huffpost
Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of eldest son Donald Trump Jr., and Lara Trump, wife of middle son Eric Trump, are each receiving $15,000 a month, according to two GOP sources who are informal White House advisers and who spoke on condition of anonymity.

They were unsure when the payments began but say they are being made by campaign manager Bradley Parscale through his company rather than directly by either the campaign or the party in order to avoid public reporting requirements.

“I can pay them however I want to pay them,” Parscale told HuffPost on Friday, but then declined to comment any further.

Feel like this might be relevant.

This whole "I told them slow down the testing" feels like a classic Trump cycle where he says something horrible and/or idiotic, his media surrogates say he obviously didn't mean that, and then he reiterates yes that's exactly what I meant.

The mirror version is when he says something terrible and they defend it on the merits, and then he says he was just joking.

He's been saying similar stuff for months anyway. Remember the cruise ship back in March?
Quote
They would like to have the people come off. I’d rather have the people stay [on the ship]. But I’d go with them. I told them to make the final decision. I would rather — because I like the numbers being where they are. I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault.

Caring about perception over reality isn't new for a politician.

But he doesn't get that reality still affects perception (ie if they'd contained the virus, he'd be getting better press) and he keeps saying the quiet parts out loud. You don't tell people you're juking the stats, you just do it and pretend they're legit!

One of Trump's many grumblings about Brad Parscale is the millions his campaign manager is stealing from him.

I wonder if there's a quote of Trump liking Paul Manafort so much because he worked for free while he was running the campaign.  :lol

If you want to see the confederate flag less, start calling it the Democrat flag.

This is the extreme cognitive dissonance I've been raging about recently. I don't understand how people refuse to see the stupidity.

I wonder if there's a quote of Trump liking Paul Manafort so much because he worked for free while he was running the campaign.  :lol

The first thing the boss said when he met Paul was, “Wow, you’re a good-looking guy,” the same words he’d said when he first met me. Manafort, who was older than me by about 30 years, had had some work done to secure his youthful appearance.
[...]

Trump went fucking ballistic. We were still over the New York metropolitan area, where you can get cell service if you fly at a low altitude.
“Lower it!” Trump yelled to the pilot. “I have to make a call.”

He got Manafort on the phone, “Did you say I shouldn’t be on TV on Sunday??” Manafort could barely hear him because of the helicopter motor. But Trump said, “I’ll go on TV anytime I goddamn fucking want and you won’t say another fucking word about me! Tone it down? I wanna turn it up! I don’t wanna tone anything down! I played along with your delegate charts, but I have had enough.”
[...]

He got Paul on the phone and completely decimated him again verbally. Ripped his fucking head off. I wish I’d recorded it, because it was one of the greatest takedowns in the history of the world.
“You’re a political pro? Let me tell you something. I’m a pro at life. I’ve been around a time or two. I know guys like you, with your hair and your skin…”
[...]

“I’ve got a crook running my campaign,” Trump said when he read it.
[...]

https://wfpl.org/national-figures-warn-of-kentucky-voter-suppression/

Quote
But after expanding mail-in voting to all eligible voters — something that hasn’t happened in Kentucky before — many, if not most, voters will cast ballots by mail during the primary elections.

According to the Kentucky Secretary of State’s office, nearly 890,000 Kentuckians requested a mail-in absentee ballot — that’s about 25% of the almost 3.5 million registered voters in the state.

That’s already higher than the 20.6% voter turnout Kentucky had in the last primary election when both a U.S. Senate race and the presidency were on the ballot.

On top of that that, by the end of the weekend a total of 88,507 voters had cast ballots early, in-person. Many counties, including Jefferson, the state’s largest, also had early voting on Monday.
