Why does he keep deflecting the 25th toward Biden? Is it that implausible to him that Pelosi wants to hit him with the 25th amendment?

I think its pretty clear for the right-wing that its a lot easier to froth up their base with the prospect of a woman of color as president.

Seriously. I can't believe that a news reporter is trying to claim Trump has no leverage over McConnell. All Trump needs to say is he'll actively campaign against McConnell and any other republican that opposes the deal.

It's too late for that really, Senate Rs were afraid of being primaried, a lot of them aren't scared of the general. Trump can't really actively campaign against them with 3 weeks left.

Detroit area chud booby traps Trump signs, places them too close to the road and the inevitable happens.

Commerce Township worker cut by razor-trimmed Trump sign

quote:

"Several signs were taken from property that had several razor blades taped all the way along the bottom of the sign," they wrote.

The homeowner told deputies "their signs were taken and when they returned from out of town the signs were back in their yard," the release read. "The homeowner denies any knowledge of the blades."

The township worker sought medical treatment for three cut fingers.

"Wasn't me officer, someone else must've razored up my signs." :rolleyes:

I don't have any evidence from prior races, but I think it could be a legitimate threat. Trump could whip up in base in a fury against McConnell to write in "Trump". I wouldn't be surprised if that could draw double digits away from McConnell.

They've been doing this for a long time, if we just declare chuds to be neo-fash in general. Remember folks, always use tools to remove a sign, for this reason.

One of the terrorists had a flag that had a black background and a red circle with a red line drawn horizontally through it. It wasn't the anarchist "A" but they are pretending it was.

Why would that change anything anyway? These are the super genius brains that thought that if you kill the governor there just, isn't a Michigan state government anymore. I mean, do these people think that the Oklahoma City bombing actually worked? That it accomplished the goals that they were after? Do they think that if Gavin Newsom gets into a car accident and dies that everybody just throws up their hands and accept that Virginia doesn't exist anymore? It does seem like they had a streak of anarchist thought, just the stupidest version that has ever existed that you would actually have to be a stupid baby to believe.

Michigan is weird because we have strong blue sections but the majority of the state is deep red, so we tend to flip between republican and Democrat with every election. Presumably they figured that the Real Michigan wanted to vote red and if they just got this traitor out of office then we would hold a new vote and everything would be fine.

...which isn't how that works, we still have a line of succession, and everyone for at least three more people in the line is a Democrat, including our female lesbian attourney general.

That is of course assuming they aren't just jumped up fascists and figured if they murdered daddy's #1 target then the country would just fall to total white supremacy overnight and it would be good.

It's terrorism you loving idiot, you dumb clown, you piece of poo poo. They want to use violence on a few high profile members of their political, ideological, and societal enemies to terrorize them into removing themselves from the public square and leave the ground open for their ideological allies LIKE THE MICHIGAN STATE HOUSE MAJORITY LEADER WHO SPOKE AT THEIR RALLY to take control of the government.

Yes, hence pointing out the Oklahoma State bombing. That absolutely didn't work, it did not accomplish ANY of its societal goals despite being in many ways the more successful version of what they were planning.

People would absolutely commit assassinations more often if they were successful in a broad sense. The reason that it has almost always been crazy people like Guiteau is it really really really does not work. Gabby Giffords getting shot didn't stop her husband, and Feinstein's dead friends didn't stop her from ascending to the Senate.

The "economic anxiety" poo poo is generally a liberal talking point not a leftist one. It was the major publications which rolled with it after the election because it'd be too uncouth to say it was racism. The NYT and poo poo was the ones that continue to do Trump voter safaris in all the wrong places (apart from Politco visiting the Villages). None of them were honest about Trump's base being economically comfortable suburban and exurbanites.

are you kidding? it is an explicit leftist talking point: we can't hold the white working class responsible for their racism because their viewpoint is the product of a capitalist system which foments racial divisions to keep workers who share economic interests from coalescing into a majority coalition. in fact, that was a key assumption in bernie's campaign - that he could win back largely white, rural, working class voters who switched in 2016 by running on populist economic policy which would benefit those groups as the policies would benefits all workers (in opposition to the capital holding class).
